I have the skygolf SG-4 and use it all the time, even the home course and find it valuable, but would like to consider getting one of the units that display the entire hole. it appears that the sonocaddie and the onpar unit both do this, and the onpar also tracks and analysis your shot for the last 18 rounds, provides average distance for each club, and keeps score . the drawback is that they do not have the courses online for most of the courses I play which are usually the cheaper ones, ie muni/public, etc. Has anyone tried either of these units and what are your thoughts? stan

If the courses you play aren't availiable, why would you want it?

I have the original SG2 and I love it. It has all the local courses I play and it's very accurate. If the SG4 works for you why change it to something that doesn't offer the courses you play ?

MARTY With the onpar purchase, They will add your home course, (or one request) within 2 weeks after request, and then add requests according to priority, so could get some courses added fairly quickly. Just don't know how long it takes after the home course. The sonocaddie has feature also. plus sounds like they get the additional requests within a couple of weeks also. and they already have a lot of courses available. stan

I have a cheaper version of the sonocaddie. I love the free downloads!! I have contacted Sonocaddie twice requesting them to download unavailable courses. They did it both times and it took them about 7 days to add these courses. Both these courses were small cheap 9 hole courses. (One of them I work at part time)

I had the top ofline model and did not like it, did not think it was very accurate as for showing your location, yardages, etc. and the fairways did not show very realistically, where simply model holes. I sold it. check my posts at http://www.partnersclubonline.com/Community/Forums.aspx?g=posts&t=108220 where I did a write up on the different models I have used. I like the upro the best. stan

I use the Freecaddie software on my phone. as the name implies its free. if the course you use is not there you go online and add it in yourself. you can also adjust the markers for accuracy. if you want yardage to hazards it's 19 or 20 bucks one time fee. you need a smartphone to use the software and the site has a list of phones that people have used. here is the link

I have been using an SG5 for a few years, and love it. I have all of the local courses on it and use it each round. I really like thenew features Skygolf has added to it, especially when I go it a course I haven't play or one I haven't played in a long time.
