May 16, 2012I’m the envy of all my Golf Buds !,
Highly recommended. I read the previous comment and can not understand why he had any problems.
This unit is wonderful. Loaded like a charm. The Subscription was about $40 for a year and you can load 10 courses for this rate. There are higher subscription rates if you’d like to have more courses or even international courses. Change courses as often as you like.
This even had the specs for my favorite “remodeled” course which was finished in February. Very up-to-date info.
Accurate! Will measure to the center of the green and will even measure your drive distance. Problem is, when other people on the course see my skycaddie that all want to “play” with it. It can slow down the game.

May 16, 2012Performs exactly as advertised,
I’ll admit it…I tried a cheaper product made by Garmin. It locked up every three or four rounds. After trying three units I gave up and bought the SG5. It works great. The color screen is very easy to read in the sun. The charge lasts longer than I expected, usually three full rounds at least. My only complaint is that it’s a little bigger than some of it’s competitors. You can’t slip it into your pocket to take a swing. But I’ve used it for six months and it’s performed flawlessly. If you are thinking of saving a little money, I would not recommend any of the models with black and white screens (SG2.5, SG3, SG4). They are very hard to read in the sun; you have to constantly rotate the screen around to catch just the right angle. Although it lacks the features of the higher models, the SG2, with it’s black-on-green screen, is easier to read. If you are thinking of buying anything but the SG5, I’d strongly recommend that you find someone who has the model you’re considering, and check out the screen in the bright sunlight.
