Golf Buddy Tour GPS Range Finder Reviews

Review by D. Fisher:

I read all the reviews and compared all the features of golf GPS’s before selecting the Golf Buddy Pro. I especially liked the feature that all the courses and course information were already loaded on the unit or available for free from the Golf Buddy website. And of course, that large color screen. When I received the unit, I immediately put it on the charger while I reviewed the User Manual…it’s pretty slim because the unit does most functions automatically. The next day I went golfing. Within 5 minutes, the unit initallized and indicated I was on the first hole of Highlands Reserve. The unit advanced automatically hole by hole without any user input from me. The GPS seems very accurate and the screen is exceptionally bright in all lighting conditions. I did notice that if your riding a cart, it takes a few seconds for the unit to stablize after stopping before giving an accurate distance. I am now using some of the more advanced features including adding and editing my own hazards, measuring distances hit, and keeping track of my scores. Ok, does it really help your game. The answer is yes!

Review by Christopher Wang:

I thought long and hard between the skycaddie and the golf buddy. I was nervous that the Golf Buddy was “too good to be true”, but decided on it anyway because of the no yearly fees. All of my golf friends have the skycaddie, so I know that it works great. I took the risk with the golf buddy tour and have been very pleased every round. The yardages are exactly the same as the skycaddie, and my friends are stuck paying a year for the same yardages. Not only is the color screen easy to read and shows up in any lighting, the size of the Golf Buddy is perfect. The skycaddie looks like a walkie-talkie while the golf buddy looks like a sleek electronic gadget.

You will not be disappointed with the GBT. I got it out of the box, charged it, went to Heron Bay Golf Course in Locust Grove, GA, turned on my GBT, it instantly recognized where I was, it knew I was approaching #1 tee, and from there on it gave me accuarate distances to the programmed targets. No syncing, no adding courses, just turned the thing on. Even on an overcast day and a rainy day, the GBT still gave me yardages.

Adding your own target, measuring your shots, and keeping track of your score are all very easy. The skycaddie has about 6-7 buttons while the GBT only has two main buttons. It’s a synch to use. Apple might as well have invented the thing.

You’ll love it. Spend the extra money up front. If you are a wife or girlfriend, get this for the man in your life. He will be amazed that you made the right choice on the best golf gps there is!

CONS? Are you kidding me? No cons!!!

GolfLogix GPS by Garmin Reviews

Review by T. Myers:

I purchased the Golflogix GPS instead of the more popular SkyCaddie because the Golflogix is made by Garmin. Obviously, Garmin knows GPS. The unit is actually a re-packaged Garmin eTrex. It is very solid and sturdy. When I bought it I found that three of the courses that I play were not mapped. I requested them and in one week they were available. Fantastic. I have also submitted questions via email and have been answered promptly. The unit is small and easy to use. It will increment holes automatically when I walk to the next hole. Most of the time I do not need to press any buttons. I would definitely recommend Golflogix.

Review by Rick:

I had one of the early models made by SkyCaddie, and this device is far superior. It’s easier to use, holds 20 downloaded courses (as opposed to 10), finds the course you are at (as opposed to scrolling through a list), is waterproof (as opposed to water resistant), cost far less to get a one year membership to downloadable courses, and turns on in seconds with distances (as opposed to minutes). The 2008 model measures the distance from your last shot so you can tell how far you are hitting each club.

It’s very easy to use. Just turn it on. I had no trouble downloading the courses, and I am a Mac user with the Mac Leopard operating system. The Garmin algorithn for finding distances is quick and accurate.

I really like it and can’t imaging playing golf without it!

PAR70 JCS602-1000 Laser Range Finder for Golf Reviews

Review by G. Tyler:

I chose to purchase this product due to the previous two reviews that were left. Both of these reviews are very accurate. This product is fantastic value for money and would rival the products on the market that are upwards of 0. The scan feature on this rangefinder is perfect for scanning all different objects in a near vicinity. For example on the golf course you can scan how far it is to the start of the bunker and then how far it is to carry without having to adjust the unit. Of course you can also scan the distance to the pin. The unit does not shake and objects are easy to get yardage for, a complaint of a lot of the cheaper models is that they just wont do this.

Delivery on this item is super quick, i purchased on a Thursday and it arrived in the mail on the Monday. I could not be happier with this product, it is that good it nearly hits the ball for you.

My only problem, if i can call it a problem was that the instructions are written in broken English which actually makes for some good laughs.

Review by Don:

I purchased this item from Jim at Par70 after researching rangfinders from all the name brands for 2x the price and came upon this unit. I wanted a unit specipc for golf. This unit has everything you need. It is acurate and fast. You must buy the unit with scanning mode. This allows you look at the green and just by panning left to right and up and down you can see the yardage from the tree on the left, the top of the sand trap, the back of the green and of course the pin. You do this and get those yardages in less then 5 seconds. I am a 6 handicap and this will bring me to a 4. This is a must if you are serious about your game. Quick, easy and accurate.
