Customer Reviews
Love the iGreen button
I can't play golf without my SkyCaddie. The iGreen button is really cool. You can move the center green target to any point on the green. I have all the numbers I need to hit more greens and avoid bunkers! Anyone struggling with their short game needs this feature.
Doesn't work with Mac 10.5.5
Ordered Skycaddie SG5. Does not work with Mac 10.5.5. Constantly loops you back to download. Software agreement provides no button to agree. Download of new icons hangs up for hours. Never could register. Attempts to load courSkyCaddie SG 5ses never completed. Don't buy this if you have a Mac. Mine is going back.SkyCaddie SG 5
Stroke Saver
I recently bought the SG5 and have used it for 8 rounds. I also own a Bushnell range finder (without pin seeker). I find the SG5 much more useful. The biggest advantage is knowing the distance to the front, middle and back of the green from any angle of approach. Blind or uphill doesn't matter a bit. I'm learning exactly what swing it takes to go different distances from 100 yards in. The layup distances are very helpful. My third time out using it I shot the best round of my life.
I am still carrying the Bushnell, but have only used it once since I got the SG5. Every course in my area (DE) that I play has been mapped and is available for download. All those on my planned golf vacation next week are mapped. I looked up some courses I have played in Phoenix and Florida and they were already mapped. You can check their website to see if the courses you normally play are done.
I bought the car charger so I can plug it in my car and not risk forgetting and leaving it home on charge. This has worked out great.
Its also helped me learn exactly how much carry I can expect on a good shot which has helped me get the ball closer to the pin or given me a shorter chip. My handicap has dropped from 13 to 11 so far.
My only wish would be that you could download the courses to your computer and then transfer them to the SG5 without the annual membership. I would be willing to pay a few bucks for to add an additional course I was going to play when I download it. 95% of the time I play the same 10 or 15 courses.
Overall - this thing ROCKS.
Not always accurate - forget about after products & Customer Service
This device, SKY CADDIE, seems to ONLY work well SOME of the time. You can be standing in one spot, not moving and the yardage indicators can change dramatically or it will start reading other holes if you are in the wrong spot.
Of even more importance are the incredibly BAD after products and absolutely horrific customer service. $10 for a Clip (worth about .10 cents). $15 Bag Straps (a simple piece of nylon) doesn't even fit around standard 10" bag, $25 Case is a piece of garbage and trying to speak or even get customer service is a nightmare. Oh, and let's not forget the outrageous fees of $50 they charge just to be able to use the device on a golf course. Unless you are a total fool STRONGLY ADVISE - DO NOT PURCHASE THIS ITEM.
Great Golf GPS!
I have had no issues with the SkyCaddie. I actually returned the GolfLogix due to issues with accuracy and difficulty reading the screen. The SkyCaddie is easy to operate, read, and is incredibly useful. I also prefer the number of golf courses GolfCaddie offers...and for $29 bucks a year...please, this is cheap folks! I did download the new Onyx screen theme and had no issues. I am using Mac, and it works great. They even guarantee that if you don't reduce your overall strokes per game you can return the unit...that is confidence! If the PGA and all the Pros and my local PGA/Country Club are using SkyCaddies...that is very telling Get One, you will love it!
