Voice Caddie T9 Golf GPS Watch Review
Voice Caddie is a major player in the distance measurement category thanks to impressive products like the A2 watch and SL2 Active Hybrid rangefinder, the model we crowned the best golf rangefinder of 2022. The T9 GPS watch looks set to cement its place among the leading brands thanks to its expansive feature list and near flawless user experience.
My first impression of the T9 was a good one. This watch is slick, modern and lightweight. With its shiny silver bezel, it has the off-course versatility that enhances its value. The color, reflective LCD touch screen is bright and readable in all light conditions and super responsive – it hardly requires any repeat swipes unless wearing a glove.
It has the basics covered in terms of yardages on the main screen – front, middle and back – but you’ll notice a slope icon on the left. This is because it factors in slope on the distances for enhanced accuracy. You can turn on tournament mode to disable this feature and make the watch legal for competition play easily in the settings. The main screen also displays the hole number and par as well as your current score, assuming you’re entering it as you go along.

You can zoom in and move the crosshair to show you the distance to a certain point and what you have left to the middle of the green.

If you tap a bunker, it will tell you the distance to reach and carry it – very cool.
But it’s the level of detail shown about the green that really brings the T9 to life and separates it from the competition. Swipe left again on the hole map screen and you’ll see heat map of the green showing its undulations, both their direction and colour-coded by severity, with arrows indicating the main borrows. You can tap different parts of the green to move the pin position and I like how the front of the green distance also changes based on your direction of play.

Once you’ve relocated the flag position, swipe left again and you’re then able to tap on the green where you’re roughly putting from. The T9 will tell you the distance and the elevation change to the hole. This will really come in handy on social rounds where…
