 Sky Caddie Experience June 2, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This item gives distances to the pin and notes all hazards on the way. It works well when walking because the GPS needs sky exposure. In the golf cart one must hold it away from the roof cover.
The other unexpected hazard was not your fault, but it would have been nice if you would tell your customers that after purchase there is a charge by the sky caddie co. of a minimum of $29.00 to let the unit operate on any golf course. There is also the need for computer skills to get the unit operational. A learning curve which I still have not passed the test on will take a few rounds to get skilled in. L. Steinberg
 Fine when it works May 17, 2008

Indespensible when it works, which mine did for about 10 months. It stopped connecting up with my computer, so I tried it on two other computers. Same thing. Customer service said to try a new cable [$29.99]. I did. Still no luck. Their answer? Something must be wrong with it, and I should buy another one. Thanks a lot, SkyGolf.
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.

I love the product, but wish it would locate your yardage a little faster. Since I already owned rechargable AA batteries, I bought the SG3 instead of the SG4. In retrospect, I wish I had ordered the SG4.
The instructions for connecting the programming cable are not very clear.
For the most part the initial setup of the unit was relative easy.
I would buy it again.

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.
