 Great tool July 16, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This is a great tool to help your game along. It especially is usefull for avoiding the hazards on the course. I love mine and all my friends and family love theirs too. I just chose the SG3 because I can always throw a couple spare batteries in my bag and never have to worry about charging it like with the SG4.
 SG3 - Fun and easy to use August 16, 2007

I have to say; this was one of my best purchases I've made in recent, but short lived internet-buying history. Sky Golf claims their ease of use and quick downloads - well, they were right! This great tool makes golf a little more fun to play, plus you have yardages at your disposal. The SkyCaddie is very easy to use, from finding how far to trouble, finding lay-up yardages and of course, yards to the green (front, middle and back yardages). The battery life seems very good. I've played three rounds so far and I still have about half of my power left. I'm planning to buy rechargeable ones to cut cost on batteries. I would give it 5-stars, but I don't know how durable it is, but only time can tell. For now, I'm glad to own one.
 Lousy service November 7, 2007

I added my membership and after my initial course download I tried to add more courses. My account login wouldn't work and I didn't exist. Requests for a new password did nothing. I contacted the company via e-mail form on web site (no phone number available). No response.
I got to play a season end 2 round TOC without it, which is why I bought the darn thing.
BTW, two AAs only last 2 rounds at most.
WOW! April 3, 2008

I bought Skycaddie about one and half year ago and I was very excited. The working product really is a great help for your game. The additional cost of the service did not worry me as I would expect SkyGolf to generate revenue somehow and after all the memebership costs only fraction of what a good game of golf cost you.
However I am really, really pissed off with the execution of the whole thing.
The software reminds me something hacker would write in his garage shack. It is pain to use (download takes ages, it freezes your PC screen, it has primitive user interface).
The hardware itself is bulky and designed without any considerations for golfing use. It is nearly impossible to use while walking and limited use on the carts.
Most of all, the product is unreliable. I had mine 15 months when the unit decided that it will not capture satelites at all (to become an useless $300 pieace of s***t). I found that my friend's unit lasted even less (about 9 months). I think that SkyGolf knows it, that is why they give you only 3 months hardware warranty.
Bottom line is, the product may sound attractive but I am going to spend my money elsewhere next time.
Very Useful, not perfect May 1, 2008

I have had the SG3 for 5 months now and generally are very pleased with it. I have not had a single interface issue and have used it on 3 different PC's. I've downloaded about 25 different courses in 5 states and all have worked well.
I have noticed that the accuracy is not alawys very good. I played yesterday and it was 10 yards different from my partner's skycaddie 2 on one tee box. I walked to a yardage marker and paced it off - mine had changed 8 yards and now was about accurate.
Overall, it has been helpful and is accurate abot 90% of the time. As long as you validate the info (even grossly by seeing where you are in relation to 150 and 100 yard markers) you'll be ok.
The recharable batteries work great, I swap two pairs and I get 36 holes per pair before I need a recharge. When it says low battery, i hit the ok button and keep going.
I also think Skhawke has far and away the most courses.
