I don't think there's anything decent out yet.

Sports Bar VR seems to be the highest rated but since it has multiple games in it don't expect a hardcore pool simulation.

If you're itching to try something free and multilayer VRchat has a lot of pool worlds with a basic but fun pool table .
Probably going to add one to the Dublin Pub world I setup.
(something similar to below but running regular rules pool)

A game just released on the Oculus Store for PCVR only called Small Pool.
It has snooker, 9 ball and pool. It was previously released for the Oculus Go apparently.

Graphics are basic looking but you can play a friend over a "wifi network". Not sure if that means you need to be connected to the same WIFI?
You can also play against a friend if they dont have a VR headset, they just need an android device.

A decent enough Pool game just released on App Lab for the Quest platform, no PC needed and shows a lot of potential:

Theres a free demo here:

https://www.oculus.com/experiences/quest/3692779304142039/?locale=en_US

Full version for 10 euros:

Full version allows matches against A.I. and online players.

No snooker though but it seems to be the best pool game on tghe platform so far.

VR sports bar is ok, its impossible to hit the cue ball with force unless you are looking at the back of the que. its a but mad. took ages to figure out how to move around! The darts is weird also as when you set up a match against the AI, it it just keeps throwing darts and you dont get a turn. and when you throw it doesn't deduct your score!

Tried the demo. Graphics great, realistic feel to the balls, table and the overall physics. But not having anything to rest your hand on when playing really weakens the experience.

Its setup for both seated play and standing play. Some people use real tables to lean on and you can use the right thumbstick to raise or lower the table to match the table you're leaning on.

In its early days there was a button you would hold to lean on the virtual table.

It was aful to get used to! but its great now. Its a pity you have to keep the controllers within your FOV to take the shot. With the Reverb G2 anyway.

Lads thees a game on Steam called Walkaround Mini Golf, its unreal! Its crazy golf but you play against people. They are working on tournament mode but for now its 1v1 or you can have up to 5 in a round. Its top class and only and only 14 euro.

Yeah its done really well, and they added a lot of updates for free since it came out, including new courses.

Its one of the most popular games on Quest Standalone.

There are now 2 other golf games that have full sized Golf Courses on Quest. Golf+ and Golf 5 EClub.
