Izzo Swami 4000 Review

Our Izzo Swami 4000 Review considers hands-on testing as well as feedback from dozens of users. Our ratings score is a compilation of ratings from user reviews across multiple websites.

We believe the Swami 4000 to be one of the best values in a basic golf GPS. We love the large readable screen, easy to push buttons and the simplicity. It’s quick to acquire distances and seems as accurate as other GPS devices. It also has a shot measuring feature and the ability to edit green locations, which we think is a big plus. There are nearly 30,000 golf courses in the database and new courses are being added all the time. As with most golf GPS devices, an update before your first outing will serve you well. You can get the update on the Izzo.com website on the Swami FAQ page.

Due to the large backlit screen, the battery will get you through only 1-2 rounds. If auto-hole advance is important to you and you don’t plan using this on a belt clip or in your pocket, then you will be disappointed. You need to take the unit onto the green or very near it for auto hole advance to work. Otherwise a single button press will quickly take you to the next hole. If keeping score on your GPS is important, this doesn’t fill the bill for that either. It has a “scorecard” view, but that only shows the total hole distance and the par. There is no place to input your scores.
