The SkyCaddie SX500 comes in a highly water-resistant, rugged design to stand up to most anything that comes its way on the course.

The powerful features of the SkyCaddie SX500 are easily tapped with its large 5″, intuitive touch screen and a host of automated features such as Auto-Course Selection, Auto-Hole Advance and Auto-Zoom, making it almost “touch-free” from the parking lot to the 19th hole.

Some advanced and exciting new features are debuting in the SX500. For example, , the powerful processor of the SX500 allows SkyCaddie to introduce Dynamic HoleVue™, which automatically re-orients the entire golf hole from your position to the green as you progress from the tee.

And, the SX500 allows the golfer to track the club, location and distance of each shot in real-time as you play. You’ll know how far you hit every club in your bag, resulting in better game management and lower scores.
