I have a used all three of the units listed(laser range finder, Skycaddie,
Intelligolf) My preference definitley is the Skycaddie. It has many more
courses shot in than the Intelligolf. My opinion, laser range finders are
capable of human error(shoot in wrong target). The Intelligolf can be cheaper
if you already have a GPS unit. If not, it will be higher than either of the
other two. Strictly my opinion
