SkyCaddie SG5 GPS review

SkyCaddie SG5

published 3 March 2009

The SkyCaddie SG5 GPS device is the most advanced of SkyCaddie’s units with a large, outdoor-readable colour screen. The SG5 allows golfers to measure the full depth and shape of the green from any angle. Distances are shown to both targets and hazards. The Birdie membership gives unlimited access to courses in the UK for £29.95, while other membership deals are also available.

Once the GPS is registered and the courses are downloaded this is one of the best designs ergonomically. The SkyCaddie course database is huge with the vast majority of UK courses available for download. The cost of the actual unit is in the higher price bracket and it can only hold ten courses at a time.
