Originally I saw a demo of this product at a trade show but it had not shipped yet. The demo at their booth was amazing. I fell in love with it from the first experience I had. I finally ordered it and have used it for at least 5 rounds and I love it even more. It showed up in this beautiful packaging. It was very easy to setup. The instructions can't be any easier. The sensors are extremely accurate and on point. The club tracking and caddie features are extremely helpful and then you get these awesome reports to give you better ideas on club selection and preparation for the next round. Every golfer should own these sensors. I love it!
Before I jump right in, I am a mid handicapper and by no means an expert.
Set up and installation: This was a breeze, download the app, register, attach the sensors and then pair them. Total process is about 10-15 minutes.
Usage: Too many features to go into but I let's start with the GPS. I love the fact that I can be on a hole and you see a top down of the hole with hazards. You always get the distance to the front of the green, middle and the back. (new feature allows people to tag where the actual hole is for others).
This thing keeps so much useful data to help you understand how you play. This way you know where you need improvement. Just before you tee off, open the app, play around and place it in your pocket and it will do the rest.
As you hit the ball and go to where it laded and hit your next shot it will add the distance of your last shot and record which club was used.
Summary: For those of you who love stats and want to use them to better your game then this is for you. It's not a swing analyzer just to be clear. 100% recommend this.
My wife got me the Arccos system as a Christmas present a couple of years ago and I loved it pretty much from day 1. I love the stats and data it provides and how it’s helped me be smarter about club selection and figuring out how I should spend my practice time. I also love going back and re-living my rounds whenever I’m not able to get out on the course.
In fact, I love Arccos so much that when my clubs got stolen out of my car recently with the Arccos sensors attached, I had to buy it again (hence the review title) as I just can’t go back to playing without it after having it these past few years.
I've played 4 rounds with this system so far and can already see how this will improve anyone's game. It took like 5 minutes to set up and download the course and then you just play and it records all your shots. Then after the round, you get a ton of stats back that are super helpful. Have gotten my club distances dialed in and constantly using the rangefinder to get plays-like distances during the round. I've just unlocked the Caddie feature so I'm sure that's a game-changer too. My only question is why did I wait so long to get this??
This is a pretty good product for golfers that want to have better course management, improvement club selection, and who are into statistical data of their rounds.. Setup is pretty easy as you just open app add clubs and scan the sensors for each club. When using, you have to keep the phone on at all times, with location on as well in the left pocket or right pocket if you hit left handed. Make sure you have a power bank handy in case your phone uses up battery if you have other background apps running simultaneously. Other GPS apps that use NFC is cumbersome as you have to authenticate each club before you hit. Arccos is automatic so when you get your club and setup for hitting it is detected till the next club is used at the new spot of the ball. In order to enable Arcoss caddie you have to play about 90 holes to activate it. It would be nice to have an option/feature of voice feedback from what the caddie says on your next shot rather than taking out your phone and looking at the screen on what it shows you.
Note: They also have a new device where you can leave your phone in your cart and this other Arccos sensor clips to your belt and tracks your clubs.

Cannot believe how simple this is to use and how effective it has been in upping my game! I enjoy golf, and have a good swing from playing field hockey my whole life. My challenge has been some days I crush the course, and others it crushes me. With this device, I feel like I have a personal caddie and will never look back. This product is a must give this holiday season.
I played with several GPS based products to improve my golf including Garmin G series, and iOS based Golf GPS apps, all promising to have individual club tracking and shot saving ability for the rounds of golf. While the Garmin product worked, it was both cumbersome as each club used needed to be entered after each shot, which was distracting during a round, and it did not track putts, as that required an upgrade to the watch to place sensors on your putter (which cost more than the entire arccos system for 3 sensors) so I never tested the Garmin sensors. The multiple iOS apps that I tried were expensive, requiring a monthly or annual subscription, and also did not register clubs and required constant adjustments to track shots accurately.
Once I got the arccos system, everything worked straight oout of the box. Easy setup, and the app gives me all the stats to really help my game. Shot tracking is perfectly accurate, putts are tracked, and can be easily adjusted on a phone or iwatch during a round without too much work. After 3 rounds my club yardages were fairly accurate and the recommended club was usually dead on. The course overview and shot tracking is the best of any app that I have used. It's easy to navigate, has attractive graphics and the data is in depth enough to give you new insight into your tour stats. I will never use another system now that I've found arccos.
Great app for learning both the yardage of your clubs and distance to pins. I am a very average golfer and am learning how to measure my swings and understand the associated distances. This app is a recorder on the course. It is my note keeper! Try it!
Purchased for my husband to surprise him just for fun. He went absolutely nuts. He loves these! He said it really helps him focus and improve his scores each time he plays. They look and fit perfectly and we have yet to find a course that isn’t on the app, private or community. A really nice gift!
Awesome! (but doesn't work at night, twilight). Great data. Easy to use. Slightly annoying to look at the screen when you have to keep putting the phone in your front pocket for the swing, then pull it out in order to see the distances, etc. Helps a lot to use with Apple Watch.
