Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Designed for avid golfers who want advanced capability in a light, compact and rugged form, the SkyCaddie SG2 Golf GPS gives you an eagle’s view of each hole from anywhere on the course. In addition to getting distances to bunkers and other hazards on the course, the SG2 is equipped with the patented IntelliGreen technology, enabling you to measure the full depth and shape of the green from any angle of approach, both on or off the fairway. Part of SkyCaddie's exclusive, professional 4-Star SkyCourses, IntelliGreen graphics provide an eagle's eye view of the green with an indicator representing a direct line-of-play from wherever you are on the course.

The SkyCaddie is as easy to use as a remote control or cell phone. If all you want are distances to the green, just turn it on and you won't need to touch another button throughout your round. The SG2 automatically advances to the hole you're on and displays the same information you'd find on a sprinkler head, regardless of where you hit your ball.

With an annual SkyPlayer Club Membership Plan (not included with purchase of device), you can easily download thousands of our professionally enabled SkyCourses. Three different levels of memberships are available, based on how many courses you want to store and play. If you do not want a membership and your course is not already available, you can record the front, center and back of each green with your SkyCaddie's quick set-up module, which takes about 10 seconds.

The SG2 has a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. A full charge of a depleted battery only takes 3 to 4 hours and typically lasts up to 10 hours of continuous use.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can the SG2 give me the distance to the pin?
A: The SG2, using the IntelliGreen graphics found on our professionally recorded SkyCourses, provides more useful information than just the distance to the pin alone. Once the line of play is selected on the graphical green outline, this provides the minimum carry to get on the green, the maximum limit you have to the back of the green, plus you can adjust to obtain the third distance of the approximate flag location using a pinsheet supplied by your course or visual observation. All three distances are provided simultaneously from any direction as you approach the green. You can then frame your shot in a much larger target area and select the best club. You will hit more greens and have shorter putts than a single number can provide.

Q: Does the SG2 automatically come with the courses I want?
A: No, but you have two ways to get the courses you want. First, the SG2 includes a special feature to make it very easy (less than 10 seconds on the green of each hole) to set up your course to measure distances to the green. SkyCaddie also offers three modestly priced membership plans that offer a number of benefits and access to course information on thousands of professionally mapped courses through the SkyGolfGPS website.

2.0 out of 5 stars SkyCaddie SG2 - A Very Costly Troublesome Toy, April 26, 2007
By J. Tornay (St. Helena, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
First, does it work? The qualified answer is yes. It does give adequate info to the green and if the course has been mapped it MAY give you info to hazards, etc. On mapped courses with 4 stars, some do not include the hazards, sand traps, etc. Of course to get this you must pay $29.95 per year. Also if you want the SG2 to work when you start play it is a good idea to turn it on at least 1/2 hour prior to tee time. Which brings up the next problem - battery life. When my unit was new, a fully charged battery would give about 6 hours of use. After having the SG2 9 months though, I was lucky to get 4 1/2 to 5 hours out of the battery. However it usualy did last a full round. Now after 14 months, a FULLY CHARGED battery last about 1 HOUR. Contacted SkyCaddie and was informed by their customer service that "THE BATTERY LIFE IS NORMALLY 9-12 MONTHS" (their words). The fix is to buy a new battery from them for $49.95. This makes the annual cost for owning an SG2 $80. I haven't even mentioned their rediculous web site or no Macintosh support, etc. My suggestion - don't waste your money. Buy the Bushnell.
NOTE: Since I wrote this review, decided I would buy a replacement battery (which can be only bought from SkyCaddie) for $49.95 - got to the checkout and discovered to ship this 2oz battery to CA, would be $16 via UPS Ground!!! This makes the annual cost for the SG2 $96.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but not that good., August 3, 2006
I like my caddie and I'm generally pleased to have it.

However, I'm most concerned about the build quailty. I've had to return it shortly after purchase because the side button was somehow jamed not allowing the unit to cut off until the battery exausted.

When I received a new unit in a couple of weeks, the belt clip mechanism continues to unscrew and I find I've droppped the unit beside me or a couple of holes back in one case. It falls off reguarly and I fear it tumbling into a pond or off a bridge one day.

This same issue has been mentioned in a previous review. I called sky caddie and they promidded to send the "new mechanism"and some adhesive to fix the problem. Also the little rubber plug cover would never go back into the hole and has been ripped from the unit now. They say they'll replace that too.

Overall an nice tool but the build quality is suspect.

1.0 out of 5 stars poor repair and warranty policy, September 7, 2007
I am very disappointed in Sky Golf's policy on repair and warranty of my SG2. After six months the unit would not take a charge and Sky Golf would only offer a "refurbished" caddie at $169.00 or a replacement at $229.00. Since retail is around $259.00, Sky Golf is not making any real adjustment for a clearly defective unit. Buy at your own risk!
