Golf Phantom 3 Slope GPS, Orange

This is probably the best single golf gadget that I've purchased. I have a range finder but wanted to see how this worked with just placing it in the cart or on the belt clip. I wanted a device that did not have to pair with my phone. This GPS operates independently. You turn it on, press "Golf" and it automatically searches for the courses that you're close to. You select your course and you're up and running. It's that easy. This will give you accurate measurements to the front, middle and back and will also calculate slope if you enable that feature. It also has a built in scorecard if you want to use it and can track your rounds. For $130, I'm extremely impressed.

A great replacement for my golf buddy that couldn’t hold a charge after two years. Only had this a few weeks but both my husband and I like the easy to read screen, strong magnetic attachment to the cart and long battery life.

This GPS device is awesome. The readout is in numbers large enough to read easily, even in full sun. I agree with other reviewers that the little case that the GPS fits in is exceedingly loose. I guarantee if you leave it only in that case you will lose it. My workaround was to put a piece of double-sided tape between the case and the GPS and it fits in there very solidly now. I clip it onto my push cart andthere is no way it will ever fall out of the case. This won’t work for you however if you want to use the magnet on the back of the GPS to attach to a golf cart. This isn’t an issue with me because I never ride. Takes a little bit of getting used to but is much more convenient than my handheld laser finder. I’ve compared the distances between this and the laser finder, and at the most, it’s off by no more than a yard. A true golf essential!

I used this unit last season and it's very useful. I've found that it's quite accurate both for measuring flat distances and with slope. My wife has a Garmin watch and I think this is more accurate. Plus, her watch doesn't account for slopes like this unit does. They like to advertise this as so easy to use that you don't need a manual. I have a lot of experience with technology and that wasn't the case for me. If you want to used the advanced features like score keeping, I recommend that you download the manual and read it. I'm still struggling to understand the hazard distances. There are something like 70 different 3-4 letter codes and a couple numbers for each, so I when I'm on the course, I don't always know what the hazard is or what the numbers mean. I'll have to work on that more this year. The app is more useful cuz it shows a picture of the hole, but that takes some time to use and I'm already a pretty slow golfer. When I arrive at a course, the GPS receiver (GPS) usually connects to the satellites in under 30 seconds. It's automatic course detection has worked well for me mostly, but I find that it's a good idea to look for the course on your app before you go out (while you're on wifi) and download it. Otherwise it will download the course after it connects to the satellites and that may take a few minutes using your data plan. It's sometimes a little tricky to get the app and the GPS synced properly. I've started and abandoned several games on the GPS because it synced to the app after I hit the "Play" button on the GPS. I'll have to review that bit in the manual again. I like the size of the data on the screen. I need reading glasses most of the time, but I'm able to read this screen without any glasses. That's the reason I don't use a watch. Watch screens are too small. It has a clip and holder you can put the unit in, but I've found that to be a very unreliable item to use. I've almost lost this unit several times using it. I glued a metal strip onto the back of the holder so the magnet would assist in keeping the unit in the holder and that did help, but I don't trust it. Now I just use the magnet directly on my cart. It's not as convenient, but I've had no issues with losing it. The magnet is quite strong. It also fits in my pocket very comfortably. I'm not a good enough golfer to care about the front and back distances, and I'm not really willing to take the time to estimate where the hole is on the green and mark it on the unit, so I don't really use those features. Overall, I'm glad I bought this unit. It has helped me a great deal on the course and as I (hopefully) improve as a golfer, I think it will be quite valuable.

I only use the yardage feature, however I find it very useful and accurate.

After having 2 gps watches this Bushnel has been great. Both of the watches kept having charging problems. With this you can play at least 2 rounds before charging. Easy to charge. Magnet work greats. Easy to carry in your pocket.

Great product. Extremely accurate.

The device works great and seems quite accurate. However, the device doesn’t stay securely attached to the belt clip and I’ve almost lost the device several times. (The 3 stars is for the belt clip; 5 stars for the device.)

A very easy to use compact and accurate G P S. The magnetic back is great for cart use.

Facile à comprendre et à utiliser

Very good and accurate GPS Golf distance device, with slope adjustments if you need it. Has a strong magnet which will attach quite solidly to any metal service (like a golf buggy or golf trolley, just do not forget to remove it when you have finished with the your round!). On occasion I noticed it does not advance to next hole, but this might be some small once off issue. Highly recommended for the price and what you get for that money

Perfetto. Per me è indispensabile conoscere le distanze dal green e le riporta precisamente. Inoltre consente di tenere traccia del proprio punteggio e della lunghezza dei colpi.
