👍 Buy This If

You absolutely need to know the distances on a given hole. 

The distances on the Garmin Approach G80 were spot on and the touch-sensitive screen lets you pick any spot on the hole to get carry, layup and hazard distances, as well as, distances to various points on the green.

Warming up by playing the first few holes of the course gets you primed for a round. 

With the ability to play “virtual rounds” on the Garmin Approach G80, you can play the first few holes of a course to get you into the right mindset and flow.

👎 Don’t Buy This If

✖︎ You’re looking for a device with right out-of-the-box green contour data.
