Bushnell Yardage Pro XGC Golf GPS
This is a nice product, simple to operate, and a great tool for your disposal at the course. Yardages are accurate, easy to read in all conditions, I recommend. Customer service from Bushnell also good.
Rating: 5 / 5
I was hopeful that the Bushnell GPS would have been as advanced as their line of sight products. No so. The color and digital display of yardage are good but that is where it ends. Difficult to set up, poor visual on the course selection and the map function has only worked once in the last 10 times I played. Also, when charging, there is no indicator showing the the charging is complete. If you are looking for yardage only this device is acceptable.

I spent a great deal to search for my next golf GPS to replace my aging SkyCaddie. After playing with my friend’s Bushnell unit, I was sure this was going to be it. It has everything I wanted in my new unit. I was also getting fed up with my SkyCaddie limitation of 10 concurrent courses, annual memberships, and limited targets. Not to mention that SkyCaddie had their new SG3.5 on their web site as “Coming soon” since last Christmas and when I asked their sales person two weeks ago for the status, his response was “I don’t know, I’m just in sales”. I definitely wasn’t going to give my business to them anymore.
I was about to click to confirm my order when I decided to google one last time for other candidates…and found Garmin Approach G5. I don’t think I need to get into the merits of Garmin’s GPS expertise. I have several Nuvis and they’re great. I like their intuitive touch screen and simplified UI. It’s also waterproof. A feature no other golf GPS can claim.
The biggest decision factor was that no fee for membership or courses. You simply go to Garmin’s web site and download their latest course list and firmware updates for FREE! Currently, they have over 9400 courses and they can ALL be stored on the unit so no shuffling of courses. They did have a touch sensor issue, but a free update corrected the problem and they also added more features.
The only negative thing I find on this Garmin unit is that it IS the most expensive unit out there and would not be for eveyone. Because of the price, this Bushnell unit is probably the best price-performance buy (not to mention far superior than SkyCaddies).

Pros: Easy to use on course. Great yardages. Probably taken 5-7 strokes off. Holds 100 courses
Cons: The interface to download courses is a little slow. Be patient when donloading, then check downloads to make sure the course was fully downloaded. For $35/yr you get 100 course downloads (credits), BUT if a course has 27 holes, that counts as 3 credits used. If a course has 18 holes, its only 1 credit.
Overall, I saw the value in this unit over the others. The hole maps, distances to hazards are great, and using the unit was easy. It fits in my pocket without being distracting and battery life seems great.

I did alot of research on the Golf GPS units before I made the decision to purchase the Bushnell XGC unit. I am extremely happy with this unit. Heres my summary-
- works like a charm
-battery life is excellent. I’d say I burn about 20% of the battery life for a round of golf.
-the golf course map and the scorecard features are really cool and very useful.Most courses I’ve played have the map feature. Some do not. At any time during the round you can get a scoring summary (birdies, pars, bogeys, putts etc).
-the contrast on the color screen is excellent. Plus you can change the contrast at any time.
-yardages are right on. A stroke saver.
-real easy to download the courses from the Bushnell website to the unit.
-price is really good for what you get.
