A noted weakness of the Golf Buddy Tour includes a poorly written, instruction manual. The device also limits golfers to identifying a maximum of 11 custom targets for each hole. The price tag is considered pretty hefty by some.

One of the most popular features of the Golf Buddy Tour is the fact that the device automatically advances holes. This leaves the golfer to focus on the play.
