Enjoy the advantage of GPS mapping on the golf course with the GolfLogix GPS-8 handheld unit, which calculates and displays distances to the front, center and back of every green along with hazards. The most precise, durable and user-friendly golf GPS on the market, this new version of the GolfLogix now recognizes what course you are playing automatically.

The GolfLogix GPS-8 can store the following data on each hole: front/center/back of green; hazards; bunkers; water; lay-ups; and carries.

What are the advantages of GolfLogix GPS versus other yardage devices?
A handheld GPS device, such as GolfLogix GPS, offers more flexibility during a typical round of golf. You can bring the GPS to the ball and get more accurate distance data. Unlike other laser devices, there is no need to point and aim or have a direct line of sight to the hazard or hole.
How do I get golf course maps on my GolfLogix GPS?
Included with your initial purchase is access to download a single golf course map of your choice. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions in the Quick Start Guide located in the box to download the Course Manager Software from the GolfLogix Web site. Then follow the registration and activation screens on your computer to obtain your free golf course map. With a $29.95 annual membership, you can download an unlimited amount of golf courses worldwide (currently more than 15,000 in the database) and have access to GolfLogix product enhancements and upgrades.
Is using a GPS distance device allowed under USGA regulations?
The USGA and R&A both recently sanctioned the use of satellite-based yardage measuring devices during competition. Specifically, decision 14-3/0.5 allows a committee to permit the use of distance measuring devices by Local Rule. Golfers should check with their golf professional prior to use in a USGA sanctioned event. GPS devices have always been permitted in handicap scoring in recreational rounds.

Sports reviews of GolfLogix Garmin GPS
Customer Review: It's so easy to use !
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
After much research of online reviews, talking to some of my golf buddies, actually using various golf gps devices on the course, I decided to purchase the Golflogix gps. The only factor of the Golflogix that I questioned was the fact that it uses AA batteries instead of a rechargeable lithium battery used in cell phones. After speaking with some of my friends, this is not a concern or an inconvenience. Keep the batteries charged and carry two fresh ones in the golf bag if needed. I did borrow my friend's Golflogix for three rounds of golf I did it on two AA batteries without charging them between rounds. The yardage on the course is within two yards of my friend who has a Skycaddie. I like the ease of changing functions/readings of yardage, hazards etc. on the course. Very easy to use.My online purchase was delivered to my house ( free shipping ) within six days. I recommend this service as well. The purchase price was $150.00 less than some of those other golf retailers.Customer Review: Essential info without all the bells and whistles.

Being an avid golfer for years who always looked down upon others using electronic devices to assist their game, I recently purchased the GolfLogix by Garmin after researching both the high end and low end golf GPS array. I am thrilled with this unit. At half the prize of the units with the colored screens and distance to the front, center, and back of the greens, the GolfLogix gives me the essential information to make better shots. It gives the distances to the front and back of bunkers or hazards off the tee. It tells you a very accurate distance to the center of each green. And, one of the features that I like the most, it will tell you the distance of each of your shots. I always thought that I was driving the ball further than I actually am. With this accurate driving/iron shot distance information, I can make better choices of clubs throughout the round. A great investment -- I would recommend it without reservation to any avid golfer.Customer Review: All I need

The GolfLogix product has served me very well for a month now. I find battery life to be acceptable (4-6 rounds on rechargeable batteries), and I carry a spare set on AA's in my bag just in case. Accuracy has been good overall - I am typically +/- 3 yards at the 150 and 100 markers, which is probably due to defining the "middle of the green." I am very impressed with the ease of use - just start it up, wait a minute or two, and the device knows which course to use. It also automatically proceeds to the next hole. Bottom line is that the unit requires almost no "fiddling" during a round. I made a simple wooden holder to attach it to my golf cart (Sun Mountain speed cart) and as I walk up to my ball I know the distance. The yardage for the bunkers, hazards, etc. works well. I find I am much more efficient and can play faster with this device compared to my laser yardage device. Now I just need to find something to improve my swing!Customer Review: Great device!

Versatile, simple to use, and, as far as I can tell, accurate! Some of its best features are a little non-obvious. For example, on those rare occasions when I hit my drive into the trees, I always mark the tee, then go out the distance I think I hit the ball, in the direction I hit it, and start looking. Makes it a lot easier to judge how far into the woods to look! It's also very useful when I'm in the wrong fairway (are you beginning to get an idea of my game?). Another non-obvious place where I use it a lot is near the green -- there is a big difference between a 40-yd pitch and a 50-yd pitch!
One word of warning: Don't clip it to your bag with the included clip, especially if you bag is on a cart. On several occasions, my GPS has bounced out of the clip. Fortunately, on both occasions, I discovered it was missing before I had gone too far and was able to go back and retrieve it, but you might not be so lucky!

What an amazing device ! Simple to download courses, took just a minute or so to do 10 of my locals. And the first time I used it, it worked exactly as advertised. Powered up and acquired satellites in just a couple of minutes; I clipped it to my golf bag, and was on my way. Advances from shot to shot and hole to hole automatically; yardages at my home course were just laser-measured to the foot, and this little gadget was right on the money with yardages that my club paid beaucoup dollars to have done. Wish I had known about this item before we invested big bucks in an outside survey of our course.
Our pro is considering buying them for every cart on the course, speeds up play tremendously, and even though I spray the ball a lot, it was never a problem getting an accurate yardage, even from a different fairway !
Highly recommend this device, you CANNOT go wrong with it !
