Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Can the SG5 give me the distance to the pin?
A: The SkyCaddie, using the IntelliGreen graphics found on our professionally recorded SkyCourses, provides more information than just the distance to the pin. Once the line of play is selected on the graphical green outline, it provides the minimum carry to get on the green, the maximum limit you have to the back of the green, plus you can adjust to obtain the third distance of the approximate flag location. All three distances are provided simultaneously from any direction as you approach the green. You can then frame your shot in a much larger target area and select the best club. You will hit more greens and have shorter putts than a single number can provide.

Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Love the iGreen button
I can't play golf without my SkyCaddie. The iGreen button is really cool. You can move the center green target to any point on the green. I have all the numbers I need to hit more greens and avoid bunkers! Anyone struggling with their short game needs this feature.
Rating:  - Doesn't work with Mac 10.5.5
Ordered Skycaddie SG5. Does not work with Mac 10.5.5. Constantly loops you back to download. Software agreement provides no button to agree. Download of new icons hangs up for hours. Never could register. Attempts to load courSkyCaddie SG 5ses never completed. Don't buy this if you have a Mac. Mine is going back.SkyCaddie SG 5
Rating: - Stroke Saver
I recently bought the SG5 and have used it for 8 rounds.I also own a Bushnell range finder (without pin seeker).I find the SG5 much more useful.The biggest advantage is knowing the distance to the front, middle and back of the green from any angle of approach.Blind or uphill doesn't matter a bit.I'm learning exactly what swing it takes to go different distances from 100 yards in.The layup distances are very helpful.My third time out using it I shot the best round of my life.

Rating:  - Not always accurate - forget about after products & Customer Service
This device, SKY CADDIE, seems to ONLY work well SOME of the time. You can be standing in one spot, not moving and the yardage indicators can change dramatically or it will start reading other holes if you are in the wrong spot.
Of even more importance are the incredibly BAD after products and absolutely horrific customer service. $10 for a Clip (worth about .10 cents). $15 Bag Straps (a simple piece of nylon) doesn't even fit around standard 10" bag, $25 Case is a piece of garbage and ... Read More
Rating: - Great Golf GPS!
I have had no issues with the SkyCaddie. I actually returned the GolfLogix due to issues with accuracy and difficulty reading the screen. The SkyCaddie is easy to operate, read, and is incredibly useful. I also prefer the number of golf courses GolfCaddie offers...and for $29 bucks a year...please, this is cheap folks!I did download the new Onyx screen theme and had no issues. I am using Mac, and it works great.They even guarantee that if you don't reduce your overall strokes per game you can return ... Read More
