I have never used or seen anything other than a SG5, and I like it.

I have a Sky Caddie SG3, love it, but I'd like to take it to the range and "map my own course" so I can know the distances to the markers... does anybody know if this is possible?

By the way I love this unit, they should make them operate a little faster, maybe newer ones do but still. The drawback to all of the sky caddies that i have seen is the limitation on the number of courses... When I go on a vacation I have to take my computer just to add the course to the device... Seriously how expensive is memory these days?

I am sure that they will fix this soon, but it is a huge oversight in my mind...

It really depends on what you want your GPS to do for you...if all your looking for is yardages to help speed up play I suggest the Sky Caddie SG2.5...it is one of the cheaper models and does everything you need it to do. I love mine as I still want to try and make the shots and figure out how to play the slope etc...so all I need is yardages so I don't have to walk it off or go searching for sprinkler heads...but again it all depends on what you are looking for it to do for your game...good luck...

I purchased a Sonocaddie and thought it did exactly what it said it would do. However, even with this GPS, I continually asked my playing partner for distances to the pin. Needless to say, I returned the Sonocaddie and purchased a Bushnell 1600 laser range finder. I much prefer to have the Bushnell than a GPS. I have actually downloaded a GPS app to my iphone, as others have suggested, but don't use it much. I feel lost without my Bushnell. All personal preference, but certainly worth consideration. Hey, go buy both a GPS and a range finder and return the one you don't like as much.

I use my iPhone with GolfShot and I love it. I also own and like the View Ti app, but GolfShot's layup targets, statistics tracking, and overall slick graphics wins my preference.

    • Day 296: did a stack session. 
    • Day 126: 5/1/24 Putting and chipping practice. Slow motion swings with 8-iron.
    • #4 - 1st hole at Kingsbarns I rolled in a 15 footer for birdie. Showed my caddie an old guy could still play a bit. #3 - 18th hole at Basin Harbor Club, Vergennes, VT. I had played matches against my nephew over the years. He had never beaten me although through the years he had become a long hitting teenage golfer. I was 1 up but bunkered near the 18th green. My nephew had a long putt for birdie. I splashed out of the bunker to 4 feet. He rolled his first putt close and I gave him the par. Sadly for him, I rolled mine in and won our last match. He went off to college and then Europe for a Ph. D. It was our last match. Family champion forever. #2 - First playoff hole in the City of Livonia, MI “65 & Over” division. I rolled in an 8 footer that broke about 4-5 inches. #10 Whispering Willows GC. #1  18th hole at TPC Prestancia, Sarasota, FL. A 4 foot slicing putt for par to beat the prior year’s Member/Guest winners and win the Member/Guest with my father at his club. I was having heart palpitations as I played the final hole solo when my father put two in the water. There was never a better golf sight for me when that ball dove into the hole.
    • Finally, wedges getting somewhere. This one a punch gap from 87 yards to about 12 feet. Contact and ball flight absolute restaurant quality. It's nice when grass comes back.
    • Tiger on the Today show today. At 3:25 he says he's working on keeping his arms in more and rotating his hips better. Nice.
