Buying Guide

Amazon.com Golf GPS Guide
Staying Linked in on the Links
Having a golf GPS unit in your bag is a bit like playing with your very own PGA-quality caddie. These little electronic wonders have evolved a great deal since the USGA deemed them legal for tournament play in 2005. Most models these days can provide you with quick and accurate information regarding distance to the hole and other targets and hazards; length of prior shots (often storable for future reference); course layout; distance to the front, middle, and back of the green; and more.

With a wide range of golf GPS device, feature, and subscription choices available on the market today, finding one that's right for you can be like finding the middle of the fairway when the winds are swirling. Amazon.com has put together a list of the top GPS units and their key specifications, below, to help you select your ideal model.

4.0 out of 5 stars sync a problem but worth it, April 19, 2010
This review is from: SkyCaddie SGX Golf GPS (Sports)
I recently purchased the SGX and like most people had a problem trying to register the product. When I tried to sync on my computer with Windows 7 and 64 bit, I never did get it to sync, so I took it to office and was able to work on my XP machine. The have a temporary fix for Windows 7, but real fix will come shortly. As far as use and ease of use, this is the best GPS I have had and I have had a previous sky caddie and most recently a upro. What I like best is the clearity of the screen and how fast it reads the yardage. As with any product brand new on the market, there are normally a few bugs, but this product is worth the hassle. I would have given it 5 stars if it did not have the sync problems.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great unit, steep learning curve, April 27, 2010
By Amateur curmudgeon "kaleun76" (Lakewood, CO United States) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: SkyCaddie SGX Golf GPS (Sports)
I waited for about a week from release to order the SGX skycaddie from Amazon. The negative review on synching with windows worried me. After reading the user comment I went ahead and ordered the unit figuring that, if it didn't work I could always return it to Amazon.
I had no problems synching it, and it downloaded the courses I selected without any problems. It is very important to note that Quick Vue does not work with SGX, only Hole Vue does. I didn't realize this and wondered why he courses I play did not show the hole view. It turns out only two of them were listed as having Hole Vue. If this is important you need to check on the skygolf website to make sure that your courses are mapped for Hole Vue. I believe this will get resolved soon as they get their mapping up to date.
On the course, I found the ranges accurate which are what this rangefinder is really about and is the reason I did not get any of the satellite mapped rangefinders.
The controls consist of three small keys, which might be a little too small for people with big fingers and also have a tad of a learning curve to get to use them properly. There is a button/joystick to navigate the cursor around. It does double duty as selection button when you press on it; this may cause problems for some but there is a workaround in the settings menu, where you can disable the select function from the joystick and just use the right key for that.
Two additional small buttons on either side of the joystick serve to take you out of golf menus and into your scorecard.
There are two larger buttons at the bottom corners:
The left one (with a ball logo) is used to mark your ball position to use the stroke distance measurement. You hit the button where you hit the ball from and when you get to the ball the display shows (in numbers that are too small and easy to miss) the distance to the spot you hit from. (Note that the manual is wrong and you should not hit the ball button again.)
The right one with a flag takes you to the green view.
You have a choice to have your unit keep your score for you. It will also track number of fairways hit and how you miss them, as well as number of putts per hole. It will keep 10 scorecards in memory and synch them to your account in SkyGolf, which is rather neat.
The biggest negative for me is the learning curve. It takes a while to learn all the features and how to use them.
All in all, I like the unit and recommend it. I may edit this after I have a chance to play with it some more.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't buy it yet, April 16, 2010
By Eddie Haskell (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: SkyCaddie SGX Golf GPS (Sports)
The new SkyCaddie SGX started shipping the first week of April 2010 and I received mine directly from the company yesterday. It was released without a proper driver for Windows applications being available and as a result you are currently unable to sync the unit with the Sky Golf website. I found a work around process for Windows to accept the existing driver (F8 at start-up) by using a Google search, but it still didn't solve the sync issue. The SkyCaddie customer service organization is slammed with complaints and I have been unable to talk to anyone even after being on hold for the better part of an hour. They give you an alternative of sending them an email with your questions however that process is also not currently functioning. Much to no one's surprise, they were able however to process my credit card charge for the unit and membership fee.

My advice would be to wait to buy until they have resolved their software issues and you can get some feedback on how well the SGX units function, as I should have done. I find it extremely short-sighted that they started shipping the units before they were ready to support them. Maybe that's why they elected to give you the first 30 days "limited use" without a membership fee.
