SkyCaddie is a range of golf GPS devices that require a membership subscription to access certain features and benefits, such as course updates, course information, and scoring. Without a membership, the device will still function as a basic GPS device, providing distances to the front, middle, and back of the green, but you won’t have access to other features that require a subscription.
So, in short, yes, your SkyCaddie will work without a membership, but you won’t have access to all the features and benefits that come with a subscription.
