does this watch work on a golf course?

I can see no reason why it wouldn't. I have run across a beach to take a short cut, and around a trail in a State Park and they show up on Google Maps after the run. It has even shown the fact that I went out on one side of the road and came back on the other, and that I zig-zagged going up a very steep hill!

Hello. Sure it can definitely track your golf course activities. I would suggest that you put it on Walk and once you upload the data onto the run.goyourlife.com website with the sync tool you can see distance walked, calories burned, elevation, and even pace. The watch itself will also tell you those stats when you set up the different stats on a page within the watch settings. Each page you create can show you up to three different stats with the ability to make up to 4 separate pages with different combination of stats. I hope this answers your question.~Team PAPAGO!

It may work fine on certain things it is totally useless on a golf course. One of the warnings for measurement says - be sure that nothing such as leaves or grass is between the prostaff 3 and the target.

Sorry, I don't know. I bought this watch years ago and it did not have that feature then.

Yes it does. It shows the distance to the front of the hazard and the distance over the hazard. I love my GPS Golf Watch. It also shows distance to front, middle and back of greens.

I sent that watch back and decided to use an iPhone golf app instead. Sorry I can't help you.

no, it is not a laser range finder , is it strictly GPS and unlikely helpful for hunting the watched is based on 30k golf courses that have already been mapped out

It does work. I found the connection with it is somewhat spotty. Better of getting a gps watch

Do not know. When received mine it was inoperative. Does not speak well of watch!

Your watch should show you any nearby course that has been measured...name change may have had to be recorded somewhere...like USGA....mine shows any course near me with no action from me. I travel. Good luck.

All of those devices work fairly well. I have golflogix on iphone myself. What skycaddie offers is the fact that a human has actually surveyed the course by foot and will pick up on some nuances that are missed from looking at satellite photos.

I don't play golf so I am not real sure on this. I guess as long as you can see the ball and you are able to focus in on it. it should work.

yes as far as i know. i use the golf edition to monitor my heart rate with the optional chest strap. so whether you walk run use a stairstep machine then you should have no problem

Hi MattI purchased a Motoactv golf edition GPS watch that source their GPS maps from skydroid as I understand.I play golf frequently both in USA and Canada. My Motoactv shows very accurate distances as well as the proper par for each hole in all course in the USA.However, in all Canada or courses in other countries, ALL holes will be displayed as par fours, no exception.Though the distances to greens and hazards etc. are still accurate.I called Motorola support and they cannot rectify the situation for me.Any suggestions you can make ?I have the most recent update from Motorola for all maps, device as well as computer updates.Thanks for your help !Hubert Hi MattI purchased a Motoactv golf edition GPS watch that source their GPS maps from skydroid as I understand.I play golf frequently both in USA and Canada.

I have found mine to be very accurate, although sometimes it will be off usually about a quarter mile for a 10 miles ruen. I think it has more to do with the movement or adjustment of the satelites rather than the watch, since I have noticed on the peaks website that sometimes the course is really off and has me starting out in Lake Erie. There is not really much you can do about it and all brands pretty much use the same gps. If I am running a course for time, I always measure it by my bike or car for better accuracy. I did do a 10 mile race last fall and it showed 10.07 which was very good. Trees and turns or switchbacks can through it off as well.

I don't know if it will work for Arizona, but I do know that I would not recommend this watch. I purchased one for my blind mother for Christmas. It worked for about a month, then it quite "talking". We took it to a watch maker and he couldn't repair it. I sent it back to the company and they replaced it with a new one. It also worked for a month and then quit "talking". My mother relies on her watch to know the time of day. She can't even tell if it is day or night without it. We did find one for about $10.00 at Walmart. It isn't pretty, but it is still working.

I have used the SkyCaddie GPS golf Watch in the U.S.(Texas) and in Mexico. It worked very well in both countries. Even in a remote golf course in Mexico and I was able to obtain the GPS signal. If you do not receive the GPS signal, there is a problem wiith your watch.

mine never worked long enough for me to use it for anything but 8 rounds of golf.. it was not very reliable.
