The Golf Buddy Pro GPS is a golf GPS device well-respected for its quality and features. Equipped with a driving distance calculator, an intelligent green feature, a battery with an excellent battery life and a memory good enough to hold a mammoth 20,000 golf courses, the Golf Buddy Pro GPS is a device any golfer would find useful at improving their golf game.
The driving distance calculator – an easy-to-use function on the GPS device – lets the user detect and self-adjust the distance to the target in real time as one comes closer to the green at the press of a button. The intelligent green feature would show the shape of the green from the current position, and as one moves, this feature keeps adjusting to move on the screen and show different angles of approach.
The battery life is around 14 hours, which is easily enough for a couple of rounds at one recharge. An alkaline battery backup is provided in case of running down on power.
The Golf Buddy Pro GPS is capable of storing 20,000 golf courses worldwide simultaneously in its memory. New courses and updates in existing courses are free of cost to download. The Golf Buddy Pro GPS auto-acquires to each golf course in the world that one moves to as soon as the device is switched on, given that the course is pre-installed in its memory – a unique value proposition of the Golf Buddy GPS Pro.

Over the last 18 months we have been doing some extensive research on the best golf GPS range finders. I eventually chose just one unit, the GPSGolfBuddy Pro. The main reason for this, is because of its,
- 20,000 golf course memory capacity
- No subscription fee, respectable price
- Auto course and hole recognition
- Ease of use
12,000 courses are already pre installed into the memory of the unit for the United States and 4,000 for courses from the rest of the world. Extra courses can be downloaded from the Internet free of charge. There are no subscription fees required at all for this unit.
The GPSGolfBuddy Pro will take you around two minutes to lock on to the satellites when you arrive at the golf course. It will automatically recognize the golf course you are playing on, wherever you are in the world, as long as it is mapped into the unit
The best thing you can do to speed up the satellite configuring process, is to turn it on as you approach the clubhouse, at the beginning of your game. That way, the GPSGolfBuddy Pro will be good to go by the time you reach the first hole. The accuracy of this unit is very impressive. We spoke to a golfer who tested the GPSGolfBuddy Pro against a 150-yard marker over 9 holes and found that it had an accuracy of within 5 yards of every marker. Not bad…
All important targets and hazards are pre programmed into the GPSGolfBuddy Pro.
The shot distance feature will prove very popular with players, as only a push of a button on the side of the unit is all that’s required to determine the range capacity of every golf club in your bag.
All in all, this is a very easy to use, feature packed GPS golf range finder that we would highly recommend.
