Customer Rating:      Summary: yardage in the palm of your hand Comment: The price is what initially drew me to the igolf neo.. If all you need is yardage to the greens(front/back/center), then this is the GPS for you..Functions exactly as advertised and is very easy to use.. I expierenced one problem transferring the downloaded courses to the NEO, however, customer support was very quick to respond and the problem was quickly resolved.. I would definitely recommend this product to everyone looking to get into the GPS era at a comfortable price . Also I checked the yardage against the cart gps systems of two different courses and it was absolutely correct ... Ken - Norfolk, Va.
Customer Rating:      Summary: iGolf Neo Comment: I bought the iGolf Neo for my husband for his birthday because the price was right and he wanted a golf GPS and he just loves it. He says it has helped his game tremendously in just the first week he has had it. He highly recommends it. I guess I picked the right one because he's very happy with it.
Customer Rating:      Summary: My Secret Weapon! Comment: I purchased the "Neo" last week and right out of the box I charged it and went straight to my golf course and mapped the first nine holes. Later that afternoon I played the nine holes with a foursome and boy did I have the advantage. I didn't let them know I had the "neo" and I hit every green in regulation. I have a 20 handicap, because my putting is the weakest part of my game. (maybe they will have a gps for my putting game!
Well back to the game...I hit fade off the tee which put me in bounds in the opposite fair way, my neo said a 118 yds to the center of the green, that I could not see low bushes. I knew the exact club to pull and bam I hit it just right, these guys were amazed at my pin point accracy. The "Neo after 2 hrs and 15 min. still showed a full charge. I was pulling clubs with confidence and hitting away. I knew what I needed to carry water and when to lag up! WOW... Sky Caddie will now have to drop their price or go out of business, or try to buy out itechnology which I don't think so. I was waiting for a price drop on sky caddie but then I found "neo" and waited no more! The Neo fits comfortably in my cargo pant pocket on in my shorts. They're right the clip that it comes with is very loose and it will pop out. I will not be using it!!!
I have not down loaded the courses yet, so I will update when I get that up and running.
I'm very happy so far with my purchase and I love the igolf website for posting my score and getting real time handicap rating.
Pros: Light weight, accurate, great battery life, easy to operate, small, but very readable,
Cons: None so far! ***Will update after I sync my first course and play it! I mapped my own course and it gave me the advantage. I think the "Neo" was made just for me!!!!

Customer Rating:      Summary: An wonderful device! Comment: I have had the iGolf Neo for a week now and couldn't be happier. The device is very accurate and I love its small size. As reported in various golf forums, the only problem is the belt clip holder: the first time I played with the Neo, the device fell out, and I had to re-trace my steps on the golf course to find it. Whew! However, I now simply stuff it in my pocket, and that works fine. Other electronic devices tend to get more expensive as they get smaller -- not so with the Neo, which is much less expensive than the competition. I was ready to buy a Skycaddie 2.5 until I came across the lower-price and more convenient Neo. A real winner!
Customer Rating:      Summary: So far, so good! Comment: I have only played one round with this little gadget, but it really seems to help. I played a cheap muni course, so I figured the yardages would be good, but they were spot on.
It was good to go right out of the box. Just install the software and it'll help you download courses to it. I paid the yearly ~$35 fee and I can now download all sorts of courses.
You can REALLY easily figure out how long your shots went (which is rather depressing in my case). You can also easily mark certain trouble spots on the course easily as well.
My buddy has the Skycaddie 2.5 and the big difference between the two seems to be the intelligreen on the Skycaddie. You can figure out yardages not just to one spot on the green but many with the skycaddie, but honestly who needs THAT sort of accuracy. I don't think the $100 upcharge is worth it just for that one additional feature.
I would recommend this to anyone who wants a simple GPS device that gives yardages to front, middle, back of greens, and also wants to keep track of how far they hit the ball.
