So, what’s the best golf GPS you could buy? As part of my expansion of this site into all things GPS, we’re going to start covering the golf GPS market. Just so you know, I’m remarkably opinionated about golf GPS devices. I play golf, and I really love GPS technology. (When I say that I play golf, I’m not saying that I’m any good…just that I play!  ) So, take my suggestions with a grain of salt. But just as I do with the automotive GPS devices I’ve reviewed, I try to keep the technical stuff out and only talk about what matters to you as a consumer, which is what does the device do and how well does it do it.
So, let’s get back to what is (or what are) the best golf GPS devices.
There’s no real way to definitively say that a particular golf GPS device is the absolute best. For one thing, golf GPS’s sell in a range from $50 to over $300, and, as you can imagine, the features in devices at each end of this spectrum are radically different. The lower priced gold GPS devices are not much more than range finders, which is really helpful on an unfamiliar course. The upper end GPS devices are more like having your own artificially intelligent, digital caddy.
One way, however, to try to get a handle on what is the best golf GPS, or what are the best golf GPS devices, is to take a look at what’s selling. Right now, the top three bestsellers on Amazon are the following:
1. IZZO Swami 1500 Golf GPS Unit
2. Garmin Approach G5
3. GolfLogix Garmin GPS
We’ll take a look at each of these in future posts, but for right now, let me say a few words about each.

Best Golf GPS: IZZO Swami 1500 Golf GPS Unit
The IZZO Swami 1500 Golf GPS Unit surely should be considered one of the best golf GPS’s because of its price. Right now, the IZZO Swami is selling for less than $80 at Amazon. The IZZO Swami 1500 will give you the distance to the front, middle, and back of the green. It can also store information about up to ten courses at a time. For the money, it’s a great buy.

Best Golf GPS: Garmin Approach G5
I’m not surprised that the Garmin Approach G5 is one of the best golf GPS devices on the market. It’s been a bestseller for quite some time. The Garmin Approach G5 not only gives you distances, but also includes views of the course, which you can use to plan your shots. You can learn more about the Garmin Approach G5, here.
Best Golf GPS: GolfLogix Garmin GPS
For a mid-priced golf GPS device, the Garmin Golflogix is surely one of your best bets. Right now, the Golflogix runs less than $200 at Amazon. It gives you distance to hazards and the green, plus plenty of other information. It’s easy to see why the GolfLogix Garmin GPS is one of Amazon’s bestsellers.
