SkyCaddie SG3.5 User Rating: 4.20 Stars 4.20 out of 5 (75 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources.

Just as a side note, one of our editors was recently caddying in a group where a SkyCaddie SG3.5 was being used by a former LPGA star who now walks the fairways as a golf television commentator.

One thing to consider when purchasing are the annual fees required to get the most out of this unit. New models from other manufacturers come preloaded with courses and do not have annual fees. Take a look at our Best Golf GPS breakdown to find out the best model for your game.
