 Caddie reviewOct 26, 2009
The Sky Caddie arrived in the correct time frame. My husband loved it but hasn't had a chance to use it yet. I would definitely use this provider again.

 Great ProductSep 10, 2009
I have owned and used my 2.5 Sky Caddie for over a year now. I have used it in my home state and in another when I went on vacation. All the courses I needed were available and not too expensive. $10 to add the extra state. I am not a computer whiz so the first time I downloaded I took more time than I do now. They changed the web site also so the first time I used that I was confused. I was able to call the company and got a real person who was very helpful. The unit is small and I carry it on my belt. Easy to read. Sometimes the bunkers are not shown clearly but most of the time the distances make sense. It has been a great help to me when chosing clubs. I did have occasion to play a course in SE ASIA and I did not have my Sky Caddie with me and it felt very strange to have to pace off distances! For its cost and utility, it is one of the best golf "things" I own.

Very easy to set up and use. Very acurate when compared to range markers on home course. Saves time determining range by not having to search for sprinkler head or other markers and estimating distance to center of green. Have not used on another course but anticipate it will be of even greater help on other than home course. Cannot say it has improved my score but has helped in club selection and maybe improved score will happen in the future.

Outstanding DeviceJul 26, 2009
I just purchased the SkyCaddie 2.5. It is everything I hoped for and I especially pleased that I chose the 2.5 over the 5.0 as the color option for me really does not offer anything worth the extra money. I read many reviews and did a lot of research before finally buying and I think it paid off in the long run. The SkyCaddie 2.5 was very easy to get up and running and it was very quick and easy to get courses downloaded and ready for use. During my first round with the device it performed flawlessly and proved very useful as I am sure it will continue to do so. The distances seemed very accurate and in many cases spot on with published distances on markers. As with many courses the distances marked on sprinklers or at the tee boxes where obviously not right and this was confirmed by the SkyCaddie and allowed better club selection to make it to the hole.
I would highly recommend this unit!

 Too many consJul 06, 2009
My wife gave the SkyCaddie 2.5 to me for Father's Day. It really broke my heart to tell her I needed to return it, but she understood. Here's why...
If I'm not mistaken, SkyCaddie is the only Golf Gps device that continues to have an annual fee. My device cost $259 and the annual fee came to $49.95. I just couldn't see spending that much money every year for something that I can get cheaper. The annual fee really offends me.
This device also lacks in a couple other areas. First, it says that you can keep score. That's true, but once your round is over, the score is lost. You cannot take it home and review your score or upload it onto your computer. Customer Service told me they were looking into providing a way to keep and upload scores, but who knows when that will be.
The other area that disappointed me was the fact that there is no hole overview. At no point can you see the hole in its entirety. So, when I played an unfamiliar course, I would take the Caddie to the tee box to check on hazards, but found myself running back to the cart to check the scorecard for the hole layout - does it dogleg left? Right? How should I position my tee shot?
I found the distances to be accurate, but the annual fee, lack of practical score keeping, and no hole overveiw to be too many negatives to keep it. I will return it (I already had my annual fee refunded) and purchase another GPS unit (that's what brought me here actually - checking reviews for other units).
