Golf Rangefinders

Golf rangefinders give you exact yardages to the pin, hazards and layup spots, so you can choose a club with confidence instead of pacing from sprinkler heads. You'll find laser models from Bushnell, Callaway, Nikon, Vortex and Vice Golf, slope-compensating units, a disc golf rangefinder and protective cases.

Most golf lasers use 6x magnification, so the real differences are pin-lock feedback, slope and power. Vibration or visual confirmation, like Bushnell's JOLT, tells you the flag has been found. A slope model with an external switch, such as the Bushnell Tour V6 Shift or Vice Golf Horizon, lets you turn adjusted yardages off for competition. Some units take CR2 batteries, while compact models like the Callaway Micro Pro are rechargeable. A magnetic mount is handy if you ride in a cart. For competition rules, read our rangefinder rules guide.

Brands include Bushnell, Nikon and Wearable4U.

Golf Rangefinders: frequently asked questions

Can I use a slope rangefinder in a tournament?

Under Rule 4.3 of the Rules of Golf, getting distance and direction information is allowed, but measuring elevation changes is not. A slope model is fine in competition only with the slope function turned off, which is why many units have a visible switch. A Committee can also ban distance-measuring devices with a Local Rule, so check the event's rules.

Laser rangefinder or GPS: which should I buy?

A laser gives you the exact distance to whatever you aim at, including the flagstick, which helps on approach shots. GPS devices show front, centre and back of the green without line of sight, and need course maps. Many golfers carry a laser and use a GPS watch or app as a backup.

Do golf rangefinders measure in metres?

Most laser rangefinders can switch between yards and metres in the settings, though many Canadian courses post yardages. Check the product specifications if you want metres, especially on budget models. The setting is usually saved until you change it.
