Guide to Golf with Garmin

The game-changing Garmin Approach range takes the guesswork out of golf, whether you’re a novice or a pro.

There are watches or handhelds in the range. You choose whatever you feel the most comfortable with. They are all preloaded with tens of thousands of courses around the world and have free course updates for life.
