Customer Reviews
moderate performance and worst customer support
Purchased a year ago and used for tens of playing.
Even there are several yards difference between golflogix and year marker, it was in acceptable range. Almost after a year, disaster begins. After replacing betteries, the screen locks up "tracking satellites" for three rounds of playing in a row and I contacted customer support. The customer support team suggested to "restore GPS" but didn't work. And again they suggested new driver installation but didn't work. Now they wanted me to call customer support which is not available to talk to person in any ways. I left call back message and phone numbers twice but never got their call back. Now I'm very disappointed with this device and their support and I should look for another option again.

I am absolutely delighted with my garmin gps, my two sons have a sky caddie , I went with Garmin because thats what I have in my car and I really believe Garmin is the best gps all around . my Boy's were quite impressed with my golf gps at a price of approx. $100.00 less than their sky caddie.

Love it I just have to make myself belive in what its telling me. Its helped my game as long as belive in the yardage it gave me. Best money I've spent.
How did I ever play golf without this device?
I got a Golf Logix GPS after seeing the infomercial on the golf channel. It is essentially a Garmin e-trex unit programmed for golf. These are awesome gps units if you are not familiar. Had Garmin not made it, I would not have gotten it. My wife and I float remote arctic rivers in Alaska each fall. Flyfishing and rafting for 40-60 miles over a week or two. We use the Garmin etrex for our gps units. That is how we get to the right gravel bar for the bush plane pickup. If this unit is good enough for remote river travel, it will sure as heck get me around a golf course. Ha ha..
I used it for the first time today. Amazing. Just amazing. Last night I hooked it up the computer and downloaded 20 courses that I am likely to play. This took just a few minutes. Childproof, really. Took it out today and was extremely pleased. It tells you yardage to bunker, yards for 150 yard, 100 yard, etc.. lay up distance to green. After the drive (on par 4/5) it tells you the distance to front/center/back green. It advances as you go, automatically, and you don't have to do anything but look at it. Could not be simpler, yet give all the info you need in my opinion. I got the optional protective case, $19.99, and put the gps in it and clipped it to my golf bag where my towel/brush goes. Worked out great. I am there getting a club, look at the gps, go about my business. They sell a suction cup golf cart mount, but that looks clumsy to me.
It has a feature (one button you press) that measures shot distance. Just hit the shot, hit the button, go to ball, hit the button again, and it reads of 272 yards, etc... I am on Nantucket and had 30 + mph winds this morning. Drove what looked like a perfect drive and did the distance of shot button. Turned out to only be a 188 yard drive! Also really enjoyed measuring the distance of my gap wedge, pitching wedge, etc.. Great to see an actual number, like 87 yards, instead of my normal guesstimate. Can't recommend this gps unit enough.
If anyone wants one, be sure to get it on Amazon, it is $299 at the Golf Logix website. The subscription is $30 a year. But that does give you access to download 23,000 courses. My home state, North Carolina, has 615 courses listed. Every course I could think of was in the data bank. You can download one course for free without doing the $30/year subscription so if you play on the same course all the time, this may very well be an option for you. It is easy to add/delete/change the courses you store in the gps unit. As I said, you can store 20 courses at a time. Just takes a few minutes and the software is idiot proof. Wish I had bought one of these years ago.

GolfLogix GPS - just what I was looking for
I've used it at 4 different courses now and I'm still on the same set of batteries. Downloading the initial group of courses was real easy and adding to or subtracting from the list takes minutes. Totally satisfied and would recommend to anyone simply looking for the correct yardage. I didn't need the fancy hole layouts, I've got eyes. This just meets my requirements to a tee.
