Become a Better Golfer with the SkyGolf SkyCaddie SGX Golf GPS 

The SKYCADDIE SGX. It's the most functional golf gps that are available for both the experienced golfer to the beginner. Make use of the basic capabilities on to the most advanced capabilities to obtain a level of golf course knowledge barely short of obtaining your own individual golf tour caddy. You will like usage of the most detailed course catalogue of ground-verified golf courses. That particular course catalogue is currently approaching 30,000. SkyGolf is the single manufacturer who walks every course where you tee it up.

Advanced features are where the SkyCaddie SGX undoubtedly excels. The majority of available courses consist of yardage to hazards, carries, lay ups, and Intelligreen. Interactive HoleVue with Zoom - This functionality will allow you to pick any position on the hole to find your exact yardage to that particular position and from there up to the golf hole. Intelligreen - This capability is included on the majority of courses within the catalogue. With the help of this patented system, the precise shape of the golf green successfully turns to accommodate the direction from which your approach shot will be coming from. The player is given the front, center, and back distances based on this specific position. Intelligreen Pro - This exclusive innovation will clearly show distances to major green contours, false fronts, green front carry and back carry yardage's. This expertise will enable the low handicap golfer to get their golf game to a higher level.

Comparison to Other Top Golf GPS's

From a feature and usability standpoint the SkyCaddie SGX compares very favorably with the other top golf gps's. When it comes to advanced features such as Intelligreen the SGX is a clear step above the competition. In recent years the golf gps market has had a shakeout which leaves only a few top tier units. We'll make our comparison with the 2 most comparable units which are the Garmin Approach and the Golf Buddy World Platinum (the Golf Buddy World is a similar unit to the Platinum).

We've already established that no competitors yet offer features similar to the IntelliGreen and IntelliGreen Pro. These will display for you green contours, false fronts, etc. For many golfers, the ability to see these displays may not be that important. While the SkyCaddie individually walks each course to determine layouts and yardages, Garmin and Golf Buddy utilize satellite images for their units. For navigation and operation the SGX sports what they call a dual navigation ball/button that allows for one-handed operation. The Garmin and Golf Buddy both have touchscreens. The Golf Buddy also has buttons for certain functions. When you are using a function such as the anypoint (this is where you pick a point on the hole and you will be displayed the yardage to that point and from that point to the hole) a touchscreen is much faster and easier to use.

Cost of ownership is where you will find the biggest difference. The SGX charges a yearly fee which you will find in the table above. This allows you to download and utilize courses for the package you choose. You will also be able to utilize the full functionality of ClubSG. The Approach and Golf Buddy models currently do not have any additonal charges associated with them. You will have access to and are able to download unlimited courses and course updates. At this time however, neither of these manufacturers offer a service like ClubSG.
