Review of the Golf Buddy Pro GPS

By Leave a Comment

Instead of having to depend on an expert caddie when you go golfing, you should use the help of one of the many efficient golf GPS units available on the market. These units provide you with all the information you would need while playing golf like course data, distance of your last shot and location of targets. The Golf Buddy Pro GPS is one of these units worth investing in.

There are no annual fees or golf course download fees you have to pay to access the 20,000 course database of the Golf Buddy Pro. Unlike other golf GPS units, this unit is pre-loaded with all the courses found in North America. If required, you can also add data of international courses to the GPS unit. This is because it is based on your location that the correct course and hole is automatically loaded on the unit.

The unit is simple to use and features a green view that changes the image of the course, depending on the angle of approach you use. You find target information loaded in the Golf Buddy Pro, where you can also add a maximum of 11 of your own personal targets per hole.

The unit comes with a high resolution black and white screen, driving distance mode, a multilingual capability and a score tracking module. Distance is measures in the unit using either yards or meters.

There is a mark button found here that measures the exact shot distance and a battery level and satellite strength indicator to provide optimum golf service. The unit is powered using a lithium-ion rechargeable battery and backup is provided through AAA batteries.

The Golf Buddy Pro GPS comes with a scoring tracking module and a target icon screen with a single hole positioning. For easy usage and connectivity with your PC, the Golf Buddy also comes with a USB cable.

Golf Buddy Pro GPS Range Finder Review

By Leave a Comment

In a way, the name Range Finder doesn’t do the Golf Buddy Pro justice. It is so much more than a range finder. It actually gives you a monochrome picture of the green, along with distances to various parts of the green. So, the Golf Buddy Pro is not just a range finder. It’s a golf GPS, which is comparable to the Callaway uPro, Sonocaddie V300, and the Garmin Approach. Let’s take a look at a few of the Buddy Pro GPS Range Finder’s many features and compare them to its major competitors.

First off, the Golf Buddy Pro GPS Range Finder has automatic course and hole recognition. After all, it’s a GPS, it should know where it is. That’s true of all high-end golf GPS devices. A feature that the Golf Buddy has that not everyone else shares is it comes preloaded with thousands of courses. (It can hold up to 20,000 courses!) Most golf GPS devices require you to pay for courses, which you download. The Callaway uPro comes with one free course, then the downloads are $ 10 each. Only the Garmin Approach comes with pre-loaded courses.

This shouldn’t be that big of an issue, after all you’re paying anywhere from $ 300 to $ 400 for one of these things. But still. It’s nice to have all the information you need already in the device. The only problem is what if your favorite course is not one of the ones already in your Golf Buddy Pro GPS Range Finder? The folks who make Golf Buddy are generally pretty responsive about adding golf courses to their package. After all, that’s what they’re selling. Also, they have thousands already charted. So, the chances of your golf course not being already in their database are pretty slim.

All in all, the Golf Buddy Pro GPS Range Finder does well in competing with other more expensive models like the Callaway uPro , Sonocaddie V300, or the Garmin Approach. The graphics are not as spectacular as the Callaway uPro or the Garmin Approach, but you need to decide if you really need high-end graphics. For some people, the graphics actually get in the way of golf. And after all, that’s what you’re out there for.
