Abstract

The invention relates to a golf course guidance device and the like to be used for giving guidance information about the holes and greens on a golf course. The holes and the greens on a golf course are respectively divided into small cells. For each hole, the location of a golf course guidance device is detected by a sub unit location detection means. By comparing the data from the cell corresponding to the location of the golf course guidance device the data from with each cell, which is read from a hole cell data table of a hole cell data storage means, the location and other data is displayed on a liquid crystal display, together with the distance and the direction to the center of the green. Further, the aforementioned distance is adjusted with the direction and speed of wind being taken into consideration. On each hole, the location of the golf course guidance device is detected by the sub unit location detection means by comparing the location of golf course guidance device with each cell in the same manner as above, and data for the corresponding cell, which is read from a green cell data table of a green cell data storage means, is displayed on liquid crystal display, together with the distance to the pin, the slope and grain of the green and so forth. A golf course management device detects the locations of a plurality of respective golf course guidance devices and displays them on a CRT display, thereby providing data for managing distances between players and conditions of game play.
