Summary: Great companion on the course
Comment: I purchased the Golflogix instead of the Sky Caddie because of the Garmin brand. Also the yearly fees are more reasonably than Sky caddie and there are many more listed courses. Their customer service for adding and correcting courses that I have played has been excellent. I do wish that more hazards were listed on some courses. I played 5 rounds on the same batteries. Attaches to my Sky mountain pull cart. Downloading courses is a snap. Definetly recommend.

Summary: So Far So good
Comment: I've only been able to use it twice, but so far I'm very pleased.
Every course I've looked for is available, and it's great that I can store so many at one time. The software is easy to use and the downloads/uploads are very fast. It Seems to pick up the satellite in seconds and so far it has never lost a signal. Seems like it's constructed well. So far the only thing I don't like is that if you're less than 30 yards from the green, it says "<30" instead of a yardage. That makes it difficult to know exactly how far your previous shot went, but all in all not a big deal.

Summary: Golflogix GPS by Garmin
Comment: The Golflogix GPS by garmin does just what they say it does. Gives you yardage to 3 hazards per hole, or 3 combinations of distances. Yardage to dogleg, layup distance, to bunker and every hole gives you distance to the front, back and center of every green. And changes from hole to hole without pushing a button. The only time you have to scroll is when you haven't made it past the hazard, dogleg, etc. I played 4 days, 27 holes a day, on the first set of batteries. The cable is a little difficult to connect and the unit is built solid and has easy to read large numbers.

Summary: Golflogix, a good product
Comment: My Golflogix unit arrived yesterday. I downloaded the software, registered the product, and then downloaded three local golf courses. Today I went golfing to try it out. I like it. Its easy to use and very easy to see. After a few holes other players in my foursome were asking me for readings on distance to the green.

I do have one complaint. My unit was mounted on my golf handcart. When I reached the 17th tee I realized my unit was gone. The tiny screw that attaches the unit to the belt clip is very flimsy and does not hold the unit securely. Golflogix should fix this problem. I did manage to find it.

Summary: Good general guide - Don't expect extreme accuracy
Comment: I've only been using the product for a month or so. My conclusions are only based on using it 7 or 8 times. My opinion might change after I've had a chance to use it more.

First I want to say that the product works as advertised and it's a sturdy, reliable product. The 2007 Golflogix doesn't have the last shot feature. You might consider the 2008 model to get that added feature.

One reason for my purchase was to speed play. It comes with a belt clip which I clipped to the back of the cart for quick review while selecting a club. Just like a cell phone belt clip it's easy to pop off and carry with you to your ball (if you can't drive to the ball). Obviously if you're walking you'll want to find a place to clip it to your bag. It can be slow to settle on the yardage. If you're driving a cart the GPS won't give a good number the moment you arrive at your ball. You'll need to wait a bit while it gets it's coordinates. I found that I was looking for yardage markers because I didn't want to wait for the GPS to adjust to my new location. If you're in a foursome this shouldn't be a problem because most likey you'll be waiting for someone to play. If you're in a twosome or by yourself you might get frustrated waiting for it. All in all it serves the purpose.

My only knock is that the yardage isn't precise.
1. In order for the GPS to give you yardage someone has to give Golflogix the GPS locations for the front/middle/back. Your yardage is going to vary depending on how well that was recorded. I played along with a friend who was using the Skycaddie 2.5. Sometimes we had the same results and sometimes they differ.
2. I'm not sure if it's the way the course I played was mapped, of that the GPS can't give pin-point locations within a yard, but the unit seemed to always be up to 5 yards longer than the yardage markers. I've played 6 different courses with it so far and that seems to be a consistent inaccuracy.

I'm an 8 handicap and I was expecting to use the device to get more precise feedback on club distance. I assumed that with the device, over time, I'd get a better understanding of distance (more precision) on my irons. I have a good idea, within 10 yards, on a full shot but I was hoping to use the GPS to get a little more information.

My recommendation is if you're a high handicapper and don't have time to go chasing down yardage markers, this is a great tool. If you're a low handicap player I honestly don't think this technology is ready for prime time. If you're in the fairway most of the time, and the course you're playing has yardage markers, you'll probably be faster just stepping it off.

If you have money to burn, it's a neat toy.
