Our SkyCaddie Aire Review will be available as soon we get some feedback from users. This small golf GPS will be in stores soon, but rather than waiting, we would suggest buying a model with NO FEES, such as the Izzo Swami 4000.

The SkyCaddie Aire is a part of the Sport Series of golf GPS devices from SkyGolf. The Sport Series is sort of like the economy rack at SkyCaddie. The only problem is that these lower end SkyCaddie models still have annual fees, so they will cost you a good deal more than the price you pay for the unit. SkyCaddie wants you to believe that they are more accurate than other brands, but until we see user reviews that exceed the competition, we won’t be giving a thumbs up to any GPS golf devices with fees.

• Big, easy-to-read front, center and back of green distances
• Over 30,000 courses preloaded
• scorecard
• Odometer and Calorie Counter
• Waterproof: IPX 6
• Clock, timer, alarm, pace-of-play clock
• 12 languages
• 8-10 hours of battery life

The difference between the Sky Caddie Sport Series and the Tour Series apparently has something to do with the quality of the GPS satellite. Here’s how SkyGolf describes it:

SkyCaddie’s Sport Series of products use CGT (Core Golfer Technology) technology to provide a more economical distance solution by substituting conventional GPS technology found in competitive devices in lieu of SkyCaddie’s unmatched, but more costly, TruePoint Positioning Technology.

We’re not sold and will watch to see what users think, but the bar has been set pretty high. The Izzo Swami 4000 is the same price with no annual fees.

The SkyCaddie Gimme has been retired. Check out our current recommendations for today's best golf rangefinders..

Our SkyCaddie Gimme Review will be available as soon as we get some user feedback. It’s a basic golf GPS with distance to the front, middle and back of every green in a large unit with big bold numbers. It looks very similar to the less expensive Izzo Swami 4000, which has no annual fees.

SkyCaddie’s new Sport Series devices offer a lower price point than previous SkyCaddie models, but SkyCaddie continues to require annual membership fees. They continue to market their GPS products as superior based upon “ground-corrected course maps”, however user reviews show that SkyCaddie users are not any more satisfied than users of golf GPS devices that don’t required a paid subscription.

SkyCaddie has some pretty big names in their advertisements, from Peter Jacobson and Natalie Gulbis to Hank Haney and Michael Breed. Maybe that’s why they need to charge annual fees, but we’re still not buying. Other golf GPS devices get better reviews and they don’t have extra fees.
