Reception

Upon release, The Film Daily called it "highly hilarious", and gave the following review:

{{blockquote|"This, another of Walt Disney's Technicolor cartoons featuring the Goof, is a howl. While the narrator explains how properly to play golf, the Goof attempts to demonstrate. Naturally he does everything wrong, with superb results from a comedy point of view. The technique and animation are noteworthy indeed. Mark this down as a topflight booking of its kind."{{cite news |title=Reviews of the New Films| publisher=The Film Daily |date=May 10, 1944 |page=13}}}}
