I don't write many reviews, but I am compelled to write this review to clarify some misconceptions that are clearly due to operator error. First, several people complained that the device is not accurate-- that it consistently underestimates yardage. Ummm.... this appears to be true only because the device is showing the distance in meters instead of yards. (I have inadvertently changed the measurement units a couple of times myself, but realized my mistake.) I have found battery life to be great. I can easily get 8 hours of use from a single charge. I suspect that those getting poor battery life have either a bad micro-usb cable (who ever thought micro usb was a good thing!!??) or perhaps a charger that is malfunctioning. I might also get better battery life because I do not use the voice. Another complaint is that it sometime reads the wrong hole if you pass a tee box or hit into the wrong fairway, and that there is no way to fix that problem. The device displays the hole it is reading, and it is, in fact, very simple to change holes being displayed--read the instructions before complaining, people! I have had my unit for about 2 years and have played hundreds of rounds with absolutely no problem. It is very accurate when compared to my rangefinder, which I now only use on unfamiliar courses to find distances to hazards. There are limits to the GPS--like all GPS devices, it reads as the crow flies so that severe doglegs are underestimated, and this GPS has no distance to hazard function. Having this GPS definitely speeds up play because it is continuously measuring distance as you move, so that unlike with a rangefinder, there is no stop, press a button and wait for a distance. Although I don't use it this function, it is worth mentioning that you can also measure the distance of shots after they are made. This is a basic unit, but what it does do, it does well.

Has a function that will speak out loud the distance. Super easy to use. Better than a viewfinder and as it’s more accurate. Super durable accidentally ran it through the wash and it powered up no issue.

After 10 rounds: Seems accurate most of the time. But not 100% confident all of the time. Battery and charging less reliable. Only charges to 4 of 5 bars. Will last 18 holes, but not much more than that. Maybe the backlight drains the battery... who golfs in the dark? Why does this thing have a backlight? Too easily moved to wrong hole.

Works Great!

I was skeptical at first but unit seemed very accurate and easy to use. The slope adjustment is very helpful and really helped my approach shots. At least 2 times, maybe 3 I used a different club that I what I normally use. You have to read the manual to understand all the functionality.

This is a product that I was introduced to on the golf course by another player who had activated it. Ordered my first prox. 5+ years ago. I haven't found a course that isn't on it in my travels in and out of the U.S. I and some of the people I meet on the course depend on that voice , dictating the yardage. My wife knows, this is the one voice that I listen too and don't question. She will in jest attempt to duplicate it when she sees an item that needs attention around the house.

Attached to my hat, I've never left it on a cart and had to go back to retrieve it.

Players in my group have stood along side of me with their range finder after getting it out of their bag or off the cart and shot the same distance. Although I have forgotten to take it off charge at home and turned back around to retrieve it.

My must have, to play 18.

great

This is a great product that works every time. I have used it from so many angles, shots, and rounds, and it has not led me astray! I would recommend purchasing one of these at this price because it is as accurate as my rangefinder and is just so easy to use and I love that you don't even have to look at it. Just press the button and you get the yardages, hold it and you get front, back, and middle. GREAT PRODUCT AND GREAT COMPANY IMO!

I don't even use my rangefinder very often anymore because this is just so fast. You will not be disappointed if you know what you are getting!

This is the 3rd Golf Buddy Voice I have purchased over the last 10+ years and find them great wherever around the world I have gone an$ played golf.

Simple to use and easy to understand

Was bought as present for my husband he loves it

The GPS map of the golf courses in Singapore is accurate.. Great!

This little rangefinder is spot on.

Absolutely love it

Unlike it's older version, Voice 2 model shows the middle and near/far yardages on the main screen. As before, it picks up your golf course and first hole automatically without any intervention or setting up. This is so convenient as compared to other GPS on the market. You can flip the screen holding two lower buttons which is good for hanging on your belt or clipped to your golf hat. Voice and volume control is simple easily understood. There's a demo mode where you can practice the various functions which is good as it can be hard to remember which buttons to push to access them. After purchasing at Amazon in late 2019, I used the Voice 2 for a trip to Myrtle Beach and found that the green layout and pin placement didn't change and the yardages were sometime off. When I returned, I requested a replacement from Amazon, and they sent me a new one the following day. That's what I call gold service.
