Voice Caddie VC 300 Golf GPS Rangefinder

My overall opinion is that this is a fun device, but one that ultimately favours form over function. It looks great in your hand, the yardages were accurate and I did eventually get the hang of the device, but the lack of a screen made it a little harder to use and understand that other devices I've used. It is one of the most affordable GPS devices I've used, available for less than £100, but ultimately it is not something I would use regularly. I could see someone who plays by themselves enjoying this type of GPS, but playing in a group or competition, it wouldn't be ideal. However, if you are tempted by talking yardage devices and don't fancy spending a lot, it may be right for you.

Overall, it’s not the best rangefinder out there but if you are tight on a budget I’d give it a thumbs up. It’s a lot better than the VC 200 because it offers more features and isn’t that much more. If you’re someone who’s new to golf or doesn’t get out much, this could be a perfect option for you. If you golf a lot and want more features, go with something like this.

After simply reading the key technology above you will probably know whether this unit is for you or not. It is incredibly compact and lightweight, and couldn’t be easier to charge and use. The voice can be annoying though, and means you can’t check yardages when a player nearby is getting ready to play. A simple screen showing the yardages would make this a fantastic offering, particularly at the low price it is available for. The design fits onto a belt or cap, allowing instant information without the need to be wearing a watch.
