Best Golf GPS 2009

Want to know what's the best golf GPS 2009 systems? Well, there are quite a few. You see, the golf GPS market is quite crowded and there's a lot of consumer confusion. You can spend $150 on a golf GPS or you can spend $400. The real question you need to ask yourself is what do you want your golf GPS to do for you, and how much do you want to pay. To help you out, though, I'm going to talk a little bit about some of the best selling golf GPS systems on the 2009 market. That way you'll be in a better position to figure out what's the best golf GPS 2009 for your needs and budget.

Garmin Approach G5

The thing I like about the Garmin Approach is the large bright touch screen. When I play golf, my goal is to enjoy myself, not fiddle with a bunch of buttons, and the touch screen makes this possible. The Approach comes with all the golf courses already downloaded, no annual fee! It keeps score and also accurately measures distances. This one is definitely on my list of best GPS 2009 systems for golf.

SkyCaddie SG5

The SkyCaddie SG5 has a large color display and a ton of features. One thing I like about the SkyCaddie SG5 is the fact that the distances are displayed with really large numbers. Easy to read in bright sunlight. It also gives you distances to the front, center, and back of the green. There are more than 23,000 courses in SkyCaddie's database. You have to have a membership plan, but those run $30 or so. Again, this should be on the list of best GPS golf 2009 systems.

Sonocaddie V300

Another golf GPS that found its way onto my list of best golf GPS 2009 units was the Sonocaddie V300. Its main feature is a large, bright 3D display. Of course, it measures distances, but it also tracks shot length, keeps score, and helps you statistically analyze your past games. It will keep track of every single shot you make, which is useful if you're trying to better your score on a particular course. Again, this takes a membership, but it's not that expensive.

Golf Buddy Pro GPS

No list of best golf GPS 2009 devices would be complete without the Golf Buddy Pro GPS. ( I should also throw Golf Buddy's Tour GPS in, too.) The Pro changes the picture of the green to match your angle of approach, which is a feature I think is really neat. Like the Garmin Approach, it's already pre-loaded with all the North American courses. It automatically loads not only the course, but also the hole you're on. (With some others you have to do this manually.) Also, it has a very easy to read screen.

Callaway uPro Golf GPS

No list of the best golf GPS 2009 systems would be complete without the Callaway uPro. As far as graphics, the uPro is miles ahead of everyone else, except perhaps the Garmin Approach. It measures distances to the hole. You don't have to have a subscription, but to get the detailed information you want, you'll want one. It's not expensive, though.

Golflogix Golf GPS-8

I might be partial to Garmin. They have such a reputation for quality in the auto GPS market. So, it's no wonder they have more than one entry in my list of best golf GPS 2009 systems. The Golflogix Golf GPS-8 is quite a bit less expensive than previous models I've talked about, but it has plenty of power and features. It automatically detects the course you're on. Displays distances to the front, center and back of the green. You can measure the distance of your last shot, and also keep track of distance by club, which is a great feature for those of us who think driving ranges are boring.

iGolf Neo

The last entry on my list of best GPS 2009 devices is the iGolf Neo. The Neo costs quite a bit less than a Garmin Approach or a Callaway uPro, but it still has plenty of great features, not to mention the fact that it's really small. The screen is not that small, by the way. Again, you've got distance to front, back, and center of the green, distance to pin, and last shot distance. You can input up to four custom points per hole as you play. You have to pay a membership to access iGolf's database of over 35,000 courses, but again, that's not expensive.

As you can see, there's quite a range of prices and features. The important thing, however, is to figure out your budget and what you want your GPS for. That way you can make the maximum use of my best golf GPS 2009 list.
