The game received "favourable" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic. In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 33 out of 40. 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". Playboy gave it 88% and called it "a perfect virtual getaway -- without the pretension". 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".
