Customer Reviews
Garmin Golf Logix is a WONDERFUL thing!
I researched different golf GPS units before deciding on the Garmin. (I had actually gone to the store to purchase the 2.5 Sky Caddie, but after looking at it, I realized I couldn't read the information on the screen without wearing my reading glasses!)
I am very satisfied with the Garmin Golf Logix. It was easy to download the software; and easy to save and load golf courses. The display is very easy to read at 6 feet away. Its lightweight and waterproof.
I am normally a 10-12 handicap, 2 weeks ago I had my first sub-par round, and my first eagle the following weekend. What more can I say?!
A great father's day present for an 81 year old golf nut
Got this for my surprisingly computer adept 81 year old father after using one myself for one month. He was able to set it up on his Mac after a little help from the support services available from GolfLogix. Unfortunately, he received a defective unit but the folks at GolfLogix sent one out to him fairly quickly and it works very well. He is very happy with it but disappointed in the distance of his drives now that they are measured accurately. All of the courses he plays could be installed on the device so he is pretty happy and hoping to shoot his age any day now.
Better than yardage markers, but not great
My problem with the Golflogix is that it only gives you yardages to front, center, and back. I really don't care all that much about those yardages. Maybe a professional would, but I want the yardage to the hole. So one still has to consult a pin sheet, which aren't accurate either, and then do the math and they're just approximations. I also, in checking it against GPS systems mounted on carts, found that it was off by a few yards. When I double-checked with my Bushnell's it was shown to be imperfect. It's rugged, it's compact and they have just about every course in the country mapped. The software is not great; it's cumbersome to navigate through the 15,000 odd courses. Look, it's better than walking off sprinkler head yardages and getting out your calculator and it's true you don't have to take out a pair of distance binoculars and hit that pin, sometimes a little difficult at long yardages, but I still prefer my Bushnell's because it gives me an exact yardage to the pin, which is what I want. With Golflogix you're still at the mercy of pin sheets. I tried it for a week and went back to my binoculars. I thought I could use them in combination with each other, but that's just too many devices in one's bag. Still, I would recommend it, as long as you understand its limitations.
