Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Ideal for traveling golfers, the full-featured SkyCaddie SG3 Golf GPS has a durable, water-resistant shell for playing in all conditions and is powered by 2 AA batteries--which eliminates the need for carrying chargers and cables while traveling. It's also equipped with the patented IntelliGreen technology, enabling golfers 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 SG3 offers a high-performance GPS receiver with a satellite-based augmentation system for accuracy. Other features include a programmable memory module to store thousands of targets, auto-hole advance, large grayscale LCD display, built-in atomic time, and up to 12 hours of continuous use from two AA batteries.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can the SG3 give me the distance to the pin?
A: The SkyCaddie, using the IntelliGreen graphics found on our professionally recorded SkyCourses, provides more information than just the distance to the pin. Once the line of play is selected on the graphical green outline, it 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. 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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Skycaddie SG3, August 11, 2007
By Jim D (Kimberton, PA) - See all my reviews
I purchased an SG 3 and like it very much. It has a relatively large viewing window that can be backlit when desired. I purchased the Skycaddie because of the number of professionally mapped courses on their website. I would like to be able to program course features like bunkers, etc. but that information only seems available on their professionally mapped courses. At least one of their competitors alows you to input that data on any course. Like one of the others who reviewed this product, I could not get the unit to sync with the website through my computer. I wasted an hour and a half trying and came very close to returning the unit. Customer service is not available in the evening and I did not receive a reply to my email to their website. However, I did figure out how to get around the problem that I encountered. When in the registration box, input aaaaa, bbbbb or other meaningless information. It will then bring up a form to edit your informtion. Make the changes at that time and you should be on your way. You will have to enter a valid email address and possibly one other bit of information; the reply will inform you. I would also like to see a less expensive cart mount. Seventy dollars is expensive. A carry case for the handheld and the mount would be nice. One person who rated the product did not like the fact that skygolf charges an annual fee. They do make it known up front that they charge an annual fee. At least one competitor does not charge for this service. Skycaddie had all of the courses that I play in their system. I think that a flat rate of $25 per year would be a fair price to cover all of their courses world wide. Instead, owners must choose from a few different pricing options. I would think that the inceasing competition in this market will eventually force them to reduce the cost of their annual fee options. I also did not appreciate having to purchase an extended warranty in order to have the unit covered the first full year. The company should be willing to stand behind their product. If you are considering purchasing a GPS for golf, I suggest visiting the company websites to see if your courses are in their system and to understand their pricing policies.

1.0 out of 5 stars a bad decision, November 26, 2007
I was so happy to get my Sky Caddie for Mother's Day this year. Due to travel plans and family plans, I only recently got a chance to use it on our course. I loved using it for the f1rst nine holes...just about at the 11th hole, it reads 'low battery'. I change the batteries at 14 and finish to 18. Two days later, I think there is some power in the new batteries but by the 5th hole, it poops out on me again. It is truly a total waste when you have to stop every 9 or so holes and replace the batteries. A totally worthless product. Now I don't know what todo. It is an expensive tool and very costly to use, not to mention inconvenient.

1.0 out of 5 stars Buy another brand - updates and connections difficult, December 28, 2007
I purchased the SkyCaddie SG3 for a Christmas gift December 2006. In order to use this product it has to be registered and you have to use the proprietary 'SkyCaddie Desktop'. It was a nightmare from the beginning. The website had just been updated and was not operating correctly (what fool updates a mandatory interface just before the biggest selling season of the year?)There were no phone numbers on the website requiring that all support questions be submitted via email.

We finally did find a phone number and spent hours on hold and talking to the support person trying to get the thing to work. Well, we managed that and things went well until we needed to add a golf course. A slightly better experience but still not a simple transaction as is claimed by the company.

Well, now it is time to renew the membership and once again there are recently updated drivers created for this device. We spent over 49 minutes on the phone with tech support trying to find out why the gadget is not being recognized by the computer. He couldn't solve it so said that he would transfer me to 'Advanced tech support". He hung up.

I called back and spent another 20 minutes waiting to talk to someone who said that the unit must be bad. Now we have to pay for service on the thing. We are ready to throw this thing away. Unfortunately, I paid over $300 for it so we cannot afford to do that.

The maker of this system seems paranoid about protecting their product. It isn't enough to get $329 for the unit. They charge an annual fee on top of a myriad of other charges for what I feel should be included at this price. I have read reviews on other devices that do not require the frequent unit programming (such as the annual subscription fee and costs for courses outside of your area, and extra courses if you travel a lot etc).

Save yourself the hassle and money - look elsewhere.
