The first OnPar Golf GPS was launched to the golf community at the 2009 PGA Merchandise Show with resounding success. In using the most advanced technology, this next generation GPS product has been described as “Your own Personal Caddie.”

It allows you to View each golf hole; Track every shot; and Know your game better. Hand Held GPS Products have evolved, so will your game.

The OnPar is one of the newest golf GPS devices, and with its iPhone-esque touch screen, probably qualifies as the shiniest and sparkliest unit on the market. The device has an unparalleled feature set, including overhead views of each hole, probably the most detailed green views of any device, the ability to determine distances to any point on the course, and easy tracking of a plethora of statistics. The user interface is also clean and intuitive.

• * OnPar is the first GPS Touchscreen designed specifically for Golf.
• * Stores up to 300 Golf Courses at one time.
• * View the distance from you, to any target, and remaining yardage to the green with a simple touch of the 3.5″ high resolution touchscreeen.
• * Track your shots and receive club suggestions based on recent average distance for each club.

A feature that isn’t talked to much about, is the Statistics Screen and Golf Bag Screen. These two features are in my opinion the coolest and biggest differentiators.  The Statistics screen can keep track of up to 18 rounds of golf, it can track how well you play each hole at that course, and it can give you a cumulative average over 18 rounds. The Golf Bag screen allows you to pick and choose the clubs in your bag, with a simple touch of the screen.

The Good

* Easy tracking of scores and statistics * Intuitive interface * Overhead hole maps * Can determine the distance to any point on a hole

The Bad

* Distance to hazards not marked * Bugs still need to be worked out * Not many courses available yet

Overall the The OnPar has a lot of neat features. Players can touch the hole image at any point and the device will calculate both the distance to that point, and to the green. The flag on the green can be moved to new locations, so the measurement is not always to the center of green. The device will suggest clubs based on the internal stat tracking system. You also can view shot and yardage history.

Let me show you what current owners have to say about it:

This GPS is just incredible. All the courses available are free, nothing, nada when you register. Thank God for that! Once you purchase this unit, that is it. No additional cost. The price of this GPS has come down considerably since its release as well.

If you like to have state of the art toys, this range finder is it. not really fair to just call it a “range finder” though, b/c these gps untis are so much more these days. I like how it has the touch and drag function like my iPhone- to use for actual pin placements.
Easy to see in the sunlight b/c its bright. I really like the GIR tracking. I expected to have problems with the battery charging b/c the screen is bright, but I haven’t had the problem. I have a laser range finder as well, but it doesn’t come out of my bag anymore.
