Golf Accessories for Less

Reviews

I own one of these. The uPro Go is a great product concept. Problem is that I have "corrupt file" error messages coming up for a couple of the courses I golf on most often. I am a computer-literate individual so I know whereof I speak: THE TECH SUPPORT FOR THIS PRODUCT IS NONEXISTENT. There are no instructions anywhere regarding how to reload a good file to replace a corrupted one. More important, when you call tech support, you get a message that tells you they are very busy and the wait will be "20 minutes or longer" I've waited over 30 minutes and no one has answered. Just had to sit there and listen to elevator music on the phone all that time. I do not believe they have anyone staffing their help desk. If they do, it is grossly understaffed and no one at Callaway seems to care. Oh, and I also sent them a message through their tech support web site - a week ago and twice! Still haven't received a reply. Bottom line: tech support is an essential component of any computer-based product and this company has none. Don't buy this product. I hear skygolf has a much better product but I haven't tried it and Garmin has one too. I love my Garmin GPS and should have bought their Golf product - I know for a fact you can get help from Garmin tech support in less than 120 seconds.

Love it! Accurate to within 3 yards. Really helps club selection. No annual fee. Can get two rounds before recharging battery.

Overall this GPS is worth the price I paid for it. It isn't as expensive as other GPS systems but it gives the same information as the others. The only problems I have had in the 3 weeks I have owned this is 2 courses that I have played have not worked. It has taken 2 emails and 2 phone calls to the support staff to fix one of the courses. I am still waiting on the other.

So far this product has been very good. Start up time is a little slow to find the course I am at but other than that I really like the product.

Upro Go worked well for a couple of rounds. It started blinking and screeen became unstable for a few minutes. This happened many times and I returned it back to Amazon. I spent $50 on getting all the courses and I can't recover that money.

I bought the uPro earlier this year and am generally please with it. Inside 100 yards it is very helpful, especially when you find yourself in a less than ideal situation. The flyovers in Pro Mode are not terribly useful - I echo the comments of many who have asserted that position. I had a "SD memory error" screen come up. I fixed it in this manner: followed the user manual directions for formatting the SD card. powered off, removed battery and SD card placed battery in unit and turned on powered off removed battery replaced battery and SD card After powering up, the uPro worked fine and synched. I would recommend this product to others.

I bought the top of the line skycaddie for the wife at the same time as I bought this for myself. I have to end up using her skycaddie or my iphone app golfshot gps because the Upro has so few alberta and BC courses available to it. I've been waiting for over a year and see some courses with 600 requests for someone to map it (Kananaskis for example) yet they don't have anyone to map them. I like the features but frankly feel like I wasted the $500 it cost at the time. I find both the wife's Skycaddie and Golfshot GPS ap to have the courses I play at while Skycaddie only has about 60% of them. I would look elsewhere.

This purchase was a great buy--took advantage of the Callaway $100 rebate so the price was really low for a new GPS. Unit works fine although the download program is a little difficult to manage. I have a Bushnell GPS also and it is easier to download courses, but there's also a yearly fee. I had difficulty getting the download system to work with my desktop (laptop worked fine), but now I know the procedure so it's ok. The uPro does not have additional "usage" costs unless you want the extras--which are really not required. The unit is compact and works fine--but you still have to hit the shot! Bummer!

Ive used it for about a month. Pros:Cool previews,accurate, measure feature rocks, good in any light even in wet siuations, Im glad to have it in my set up. Cons:Screen is a little small,my home course has some holes reversed,too expensive for a one use toy, A Droid we a free golf app would have been wiser.

I agonized for months over which golf GPS unit to get, all having their advantages and disadvantages. I finally decided to go for the Callaway uPro with its smaller, lighter size and ProMode real course views and distance measurements from point to any point on the hole (at an extra cost per course). I wished that it had score and statistical record-keeping capability and a virtual view of the green, and not just front, center and back numbers, in the BasicMode (which is free to download.) Still, without these I have been extremely pleased with the uPro. So when I logged on today to add a course, I see that my wishes have been granted, in the upgrade to the new 4.0 software and the $20 score keeper upgrade now available. After installing these upgrades, this baby is as close to perfect as I can imagine. GO FOR IT!!!
