Excellent product.......2007-05-24
Great features. The SkyCaddie has accuracy to 1-3 yards from anywhere within 1000 yards of the green like below hills or behind trees. For downloaded courses, you have yardage to various fairway hazards (bunkers, etc) and recommended target areas. Paying for access to a 14,000 course worldwide database via an annual subscription is required and is reasonable. The device is easily operated with one hand. There are some people who can only operate dials and maybe 1 or 2 buttons. If you still have a rotary phone and a niblick, do not buy it. It connects to your computer via USB through a combined data and power connector. There is a desktop application that gives you access to the website. Finding and downloading courses is straightforward. Customer Service is effective and responsive. I was put on hold for less than 30 seconds and my problem (out of date software) was resolved very quickly. Overall an excellent golf aid!
Beware of the unknown........2007-05-06
I have had a SG3 for about six months and am starting to regret it. First of all, the infomercial skips over the fact that you have to have a yearly membership to obtain course information. They should give you the first five for free or free access to your home state. Strike one. Connecting to the website is very tedious, is not user friendly and doesn't work every time. Strike two. About 20% of the time the unit just locks up during use and you have no choice but to pull the batteries, reinstall them and restart the unit. Not very convenient when your are in the middle of a round. Strike three. Sadly, I think that this is a terrible execution of a really good idea. Strongly consider a laser rangefinder before getting sucked in by SkyGolf.
SkyCaddie GS2.......2007-04-10
Works great and price was as low as I've seen. Gives plenty of information. I've used the GS4 and it gives more info but is a bit distracting for me.
Do Not Buy!.......2007-01-26
I'm not one to bash a product, but this one deserves it. Please read some of the other reviews as well as this one. I bought this product as a gift for my father, who is an avid golfer. Even though I thought it was ridiculous that you have to pay an extra fee for access to course information online (can't they give us the first year free or something??), I was willing to suck that up.
I tried over the course of several weeks to get the product to work as advertised. At first, the website was down, and then for some reason, the product couldn't connect to the site. I tried all sorts of things to get this to work (BTW, I work in an IT related field, so while not a technical support expert, I have experience on computers), and even combed the FAQs and Google'd for any solutions out there. Nothing worked. The product was a complete dud.
Customer support was also a complete zero. They never answered the phone, and sent generic emails as a response. I strongly advise against this product.
Activation Procedure Needs Clarification.......2007-01-12
The SkyCaddie GPS rangefinder works well as advertised on the golf course. The only fault so far is with their system for activating the device and downloading course data from their web site. Their instructions for activation were somewhat ambiguous and caused me to waste about an hour going around in circles trying to follow their directions.

Annual Service Rip Off.......2007-07-09
I have had the device for 1 year now. It works very well. BUT - in order to continue using it for years 2 thru x, you must fork over $30 each year to Skygolf. This for a device that you already paid full price for :-(.
This is like having to purchase your cable TV box then paying TimeWarner another $60 each month to use it. Without the service, the device is worthless.
Most of us do not need constant computer download updates of golf course information in order to be perfectly satisfied with our SkyCaddie. Too bad SkyGolf is not satisfied with the $300 we alread paid them.
