Key Features

IntelliGreen: SkyGolf's patented IntelliGreen technology provides you with an eagle's view of each green from anywhere on the golf course. The graphic rotates to provide front carry, back yardages, and green depth from your approach angle.
IntelliGreen Pro (Beta): IntelliGreen Pro (Beta) is a dynamically enhanced version of IntelliGreen that adds the ability to display major tiers, contours, false fronts, and mounds from your angle of approach to the green. With IntelliGreen Pro, you'll always know what's ahead, no matter where you are on the hole, even when you can't see the green.
SkyCaddie QuickVue, powered by TrueGround Mapping: SkyCaddie's exclusive QuickVue provides a virtual preview of the safest path from the tee to green. At a single glance, golfers know the exact green shape with IntelliGreen, the total distance from tee to the green, the shape of the golf hole, the distance and direction to the perfect fairway position, and the distance remaining from that position for the approach shot to the green.
Digital Scorecard: Keep track of your round with the SkyCaddie Digital Scorecard. Just enter your handicap into the preferences and pars for your handicap are automatically highlighted on the digital scorecard. Set up the MyPar screen and the SkyCaddie's Digital Scorecard adjusts to your handicap.
Mark Your Ball: How far did you hit that drive? 5-iron, 9-iron or wedge? The SkyCaddie can tell you with a simple touch of a button. Knowing how far you hit with every club in your bag will speed up club selection and let you manage your game better.
Instant Distances to Greens and Hazards: With the SkyCaddie, you receive instant yardages to critical targets as you move down the fairway. Hazards behind you are automatically removed from the display, while those between you and the green are shown, providing hands-free operation. Knowing the distance needed to clear a hazard or bunker allows you to manage your game.
Up to 40 targets per hole: In combination with high-quality professional course maps, available with an annual membership plan, the SkyCaddie can display up to 40 targets per hole. These ground-mapped SkyCourses include distances to hazards, fairway targets, and layups that would not be visible with a laser or from satellite maps.

The SG3.5 has a slim, streamlined profile.
