Three different levels of memberships are available, based on how many courses you want to store and play.

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.

- Effective planning tool
This GPS is great for planning shots into all types of greens.It's great for finding different points on greens to plan approach shots, but if you use all the features you can find out how far you hit each individual club in your bag during the course of play.Anyone who likes burning cash or would like to dial in their game completely should consider a SkyCaddie, I've tried nearly everything else and this is the best.
Rating: - SkyCaddie SG5 great, the golf store inc. not so much
The SkyCaddie SG5 has surpassed my expectations on the golf course and is the easiest GPS product to use that I have seen. I highly recommend this product to all golfers interested in accurate information while on the course. It will help your golf game.
I would not however recommend purchasing this product from the Golf Store. I purchased this product on April 2, 2009 received an email of the product shipping on April 3 USPS Priority. After 2 emails asking when I would receive the product, ... Read More
Rating: - Works well
I purchased the SG5 4 months ago.I am very pleased with the purchase from Amazon.
I use it on my home course and it works well.It is not really necessary as I am familiar with the course and distances.
I find it most useful on courses that I don't know well.Showing distances to and over fairway bunkers along with the distance to the front, center and back of the greens is invaluable for courses you don't know well.
Set up and use is very easy.I am very happy ... Read More
Rating: - Amazing and gives pinpoint accuracy
I'm a scratch golfer or better and with this product I can hone in my distances to the exact yard. Now when you're around 100 or 150 at most courses, it's easy to find the yardage to the CENTER...How many pins are in the dead center of the green? Not many. With this I have yardage to back, center, and front of green and EVERYWHERE on the green. It also comes in very handy within 100 yards as there are not many/if any markers on the course w/ these yardages.
I used this product after being skeptical ... Read More
