 "Skycaddie Review" 2009-08-17
By Willie C (Texas)
The product is very accurate as long as you have enough satellite strength. Skycaddie does help speed up your round and improves your club selection. Cost of product should be lower for the benefits.

 "Great help when not in fairway" 2009-07-13
By Thomas R. Struck (Louisville. KY)
Love this thing!! Especially helpful when your drives are not in the fairway. Defintely worth having. It adds a new dimension to your game.



My son. Chris, who is almost never in the fairway but very long has benefited greatly by using the Sky-Caddy

 "Good product but do your homework" 2009-05-20
By Frank Bernas (San Diego, CA United States)
I purchased my Skycaddie last year and at first, I loved it but as time went on, I noticed some key issues with the unit and with the company. I'm hoping my review will help you decide on your next GPS Golf Rangerfinder.



PROS

* accurate

* uses AA batteries (no worries of running out of battery life)



CONS

* takes over 5 mins to lock on to a satellite

* too many times the screen goes blank if the satellite signal is weak so to fix it, you have to restart or reset the unit. What a pain.

* Yearly membership fees just to download courses (adds to the total cost of the unit). Why should anyone pay when there are units out there that are just as good and don't charge you a fee?

* Not able to keep track of your score, fairways hit, putts, girs, time



CONCLUSION

I will continue to use it until my membership expires then I'll put up for auction. I'm looking to replace it for the Golf Guru which I played with last week. The unit cost less, offers more, no yearly membership fees, and the distances matched exactly the same as my Skycaddie. Right then, I knew Skycaddie was no longer #1 rangefinder in golf. There are many other choices out there, just do your homework.



Hope this helps. Good luck.

 "Huge Dissapointment" 2009-04-25
By Bobaloo (Rockville, MD)
Purchased my Sky Caddie in Jan 08. My initial impressions were favorable, but I soon discovered a number of shortcomings.



1. If I had anything short of a full charge, my Sky Caddie was unable to get a satellite lock, rendering it useless for the round.



2. Distances were often inaccurate - often by as much as 15 yards. My observations were based upon known shot lengths at my home club. This caused some issues at clubs where I was not as familiar with the golf course.



3. Customer service - I left 3 messages for customer service reps (no one picked up the phone) and not one was returned.



4. When I asked my club pro about his experience, he indicated that he already had 7 Sky Caddie's turned in by members that did not function properly. His rep indicated that nothing would be done to repair or replace the units.



When the unit worked properly, it was wonderful, especially on a course that was not well known. However, the shortcomings and lack of support are a deal breaker.

 "Biggest waste of money ever" 2009-11-30
By S. Wicker (Portland, OR USA)
I've owned the SkyCaddie SG4 for 2 years now. I hate it. Worst computer/user interface ever. It's as if it was programmed using the same technology as the Commador 64. Need to remove battery everytime I start it up otherwise it won't find a signal. Doesn't work on cloudy days. Don't understand why it take the SkyCaddie 15+ minutes to locate my position when my iPhone can do it in couple seconds. Find another brand or if you have an iPhone, download an app for a one time charge of $30 versus the $30 annual fee to use this doorstop of a gadget

 "SkyCaddie Hell" 2009-11-02
By Catherine Miller (Miami, FL United States)
I am finised with this product. Although adequate on course, it is impossible to download courses in less than an hour. It should be the poster child for computer hell. I would rather have the yips than be forced into another session of updating my software and downloading a course. Do not buy this product.

 "Excellent except......." 2009-10-15
By Mr. D. Mccarthy (Ireland)
I bought two of these recently, one for a friend. Was out playing the other day with him and another guy. We all had different sky caddies, the 2.5, the 4 and the 5. They all agreed with each other all the time, they were extremely accurate and brilliantly mapped. The only difficulty with the SG4 is, why oh why do they have that awful connecting lead. Beware and do not overtighten the little grub-screw. What was wrong with the standard USB connector on the 2.5 and 5. Also, a little tip. If you fit the connecting lead upside down you can charge the unit via a USB port. Found that out by accident. All in all, brilliant piece of equipment, awful connector. The new software and features on skygolf make this a great value, older type system with all modern bells and whistles

 "Great Price Bad Design Excellelnt customer service" 2009-09-11
By Trish Dazedshopper (Marquette, MI)
Must agree with most, very bad power cable design. That being said. The SG4 I have works great, have had no problems with GPS issues for 3 years. The threads did strip on the adapter screw, contacted the company, they were very helpful, did have to pay for shipping, but that was all. Received product back in approx 3 weeks. No problem since I live in the UP of MI and didn't need to use the product. I've been using for the last 4 1/2 months with no problems. So if you want to gamble on the poor power design, the product is a great buy.



Update, also upgraded product and had problems with computer recognizing device. Contacted customer service who were extremely helpful. Walked me through several questions. When connecting the cable to the device the cord must run down on the back of unit before the computer will recognize. Once I did that no problems with computer or downloading courses or the new program upgrade. Hope this was helpful.

 "Fine when it works" 2009-09-03
By Badger718 (Seattle)
I bought this in Dec 2007. When it works, it's great to have on the course. But I have had problems with it.

1) The cable that you charge it with and use to synch with your PC to download courses is difficult to attach. You have to work at it.

2) Initially, I often had trouble getting it to connect up with satellites and give me a reading on the course. Then suddenly, on, say Hole 13, it would come to life. This problem seemed to happen on cloudy days. However, earlier this year (2009), SkyGolf came forth with a software upgrade that improved performance remarkably. I no longer have this problem.

3) Now the device isn't recognized by my PC and SkyGolf says I must send it in for repair at a cost of $35-$100. It cost over $300 to buy in the first place and I must pay $30 a year to download courses. To have it malfunction after a year and a half and have to pay up to $100 to fix it just seems a bit much.

If I were going to buy a similar device today, I think I'd look around for a less expensive, more reliable device.
