Do I need a golf rangefinder?

Golf rangefinders are an excellent tool for checking distances to areas on a course like the green and the pin. If you struggle gauging distance when you’re playing golf, a golf rangefinder could be the answer. Or if you like having the convenience of knowing exactly how far you need to hit the ball, you’ll love using a golf rangefinder.

Should I use a laser golf rangefinder or golf GPS?

It depends on the situation and what you’re looking for. Golf GPS rangefinders, golf GPS watches and laser golf rangefinders will all give you useful information in judging distance on the course. But for direct distances, a laser golf rangefinder will generally offer a more accurate reading.

How do laser golf rangefinders work?

Laser golf rangefinders use laser technology to accurately measure distances to the pin, or other points on a golf course. You just point the laser rangefinder at the target, the laser then hits the target and bounces back to the rangefinder. The rangefinder determines the distance by noting the time taken for the laser signal to return, offering very accurate readings.

Do golf rangefinders tell you which golf club to use?

Golf rangefinders don’t tell you which golf club to use. But by offering accurate readings on yardage, they help you make an informed decision about which club to use, based on how far each club hits the ball and how far you’re personally able to hit the ball with each club.

Get the vital shot details you need with a golf rangefinder

As well as giving you the distance to the flag from any position, a golf rangefinder can provide other critical details, like slope angle, so you can avoid landing in the ideal spot, only for your ball to roll another 20 feet into the water.

Optical rangefinders are easy to use. Simply hold it up to your eye and point it at the flag. In seconds you’ll have the distance you need to hit from anywhere on the course, as well as the slope and lay of the land around the green.

Coupled with something like a golf GPS device, you’ll never have to wonder if you’ve picked the right club ever again.

With ranges above 600m and accuracy within 0.5m, you’ll always be confident you’ve got the right club for the job.
