    The game received "favourable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 33 out of 40.[5]

    Maxim gave it a perfect score of all five stars and said that the game was "easier to play than a sorority co-ed. In fact, the gameplay is so basic you can handle it easily while half in the bag".[16] Playboy gave it 88% and called it "a perfect virtual getaway -- without the pretension".[15] However, The Cincinnati Enquirer gave it four stars out of five, saying: "[Don't] be disillusioned by the fun and light-hearted presentation: 'Hot Shots Golf 3' is deep where it counts – the game play".[14]

    By July 2006, the game had sold 800,000 copies and earned $22 million in the United States. Next Generation ranked it as the 77th highest-selling game launched for the PlayStation 2, XboxorGameCube between January 2000 and July 2006 in that country. Combined sales of Everybody's Golf games released between those dates reached 2 million units in the United States by July 2006.[17]
