Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
The Caddy Lite is a portable hand held device which uses GPS technology to tell golfers all the distances they need on the golf course.
Your Caddy Lite will automatically provide you with the distances you need on each and every hole. Your Caddy Lite displays (in the top row of the display) the distance to the front of the green you are playing – even if you are on an adjoining fairway or through the green. It will also show how far it is to or to carry up to three primary hazards on each hole: Bunkers, Water, Dog Legs, Fairway Run Out, Hollows or Paths etc. As these hazards become out of play, the large element of the display (visible from over 20ft away) will automatically change to the Front of the Green, Centre of Green and Back of Green.

Good value for money & appears to work fine on my own course and elsewhere. Being short sighted & playing in distance specs,for me the large display is very good. Although the Caddy Lite knows where it is on the course you need to tell it from which tee you are starting at the commencement of each round, I would also recommend that the display is locked before teeing off. No instructions are included in the box, which is beginning to be the norm for eletronic kit & a hard copy needs to be downloaded. Set up instructions could be more clearer but it would not stop me from recommending this kit. I've no knowledge of other devices but from my research they are considerably more expensive. This GPS gives me all that I need, distances to the front, centre, back of greens & the distances to approaching hazards.

The Caddy Lite is not much bigger than a mobile phone. A belt clip is provided. A USB lead is also provided to download maps to the device.
The purchase includes one map credit and a list of maps can be seen on the supplier's web site so that potential buyers can check that their course has been mapped. Up to 10 maps can be stored on the device at any one time.
The word "map", to me, conjures up images and diagrams, plans of holes etc. but this is not the case. The information is displayed in numbers only - nice easy to read, decent sized numbers.
The display always shows the distance to the front of the green just above the three main numbers. The three main numbers will vary depending on position and number of bunkers, water, end of fairway etc. Two numbers are sometimes used to indicate front of bunker and distance over it - very handy for that often asked question "Can I carry the bunker?"
The Caddy Lite Deluxe comes with a charger, but I do not know whether the Caddy Lite does. Having said that, both the Caddy Lite and Caddy Lite Deluxe can be charged using the USB lead plugged in to your computer.
In my experience, one full charge lasts for two rounds (switched on all the time of course) - a total of at least eight hours without becoming fully discharged.
A point worth checking before you purchase - does your club allow the use of distance measuring devices. The R. & A. formulated a rule which in simple terms says that clubs may make a local rule to allow the use of distance measurers but if no such local rule exists, you will be in breach of the rules of golf when using one.
If you want a GPS system with pretty, colour pictures this one's not for you, but if you want some basic, straightforward information on each hole, on a simple to use device I doubt you'll find anything better.
In my opinion it is excellent value for money.

I rate this purchase very highly.
Including my Club Course I have now played several courses in my area and since buying my Caddy Lite have managed to shave a couple of shots off my game. It has proved very accurate, but as someone once told me "you still have to hit the ball"
It should be more prominent in the advertising that the yearly subscription is £40.00 (October 2009), but this is for unlimited downloads. The Caddy Lite stores a maximum of 10 at a time. I belong to a society and play a fair number of different courses per year so I could spend more than £40.00 in Course Planners.
Buy one it is is good value.
