Looking for a rangefinder this holiday season?

Happy holidays from GOLF.com, your one-stop shop when it comes to looking for gifts for the golfer in your life. (Or yourself. We won’t tell.) This year we’ve compiled the best of the best to make your shopping experience a breeze. Not only will we recommend our favorite products, we’ll tell you where to buy them. For more holiday gift ideas, visit our Best Of Everything hub, or browse GOLF’s Pro Shop.

The golf world has never boasted such a wide variety of rangefinder options. You can wear ’em on your wrist, toss ’em in your pocket, access ’em on your phone or use the classic handheld variety while gathering more information than ever.

Based on preference and price point, we’ve assembled the below list of rangefinder options. Do you want the option to calculate slope? Elevation? Temperature? Barometric pressure? We can guarantee one thing: You don’t want to be criss-crossing the fairway hunting for sprinkler heads with dubious information any more. Check ’em out below:

GolfLogix

Recognizing not every golfer wants a point-and-shoot rangefinder, GolfLogix offers an alternative for the golfer who adores their phone. The app offers technology that would make most professional caddies jealous, starting with new three-dimensional green maps that reveal virtually every contour line on the green, elevation changes from ball to cup and how the putt will break. Every shot and distance can also be tracked during the round, along with exact distances to hazards and layup locations. Need a better idea of how the ball will react once it hits the green? The app’s approach view gives you a blueprint for how to attack each hole via a detailed contour map. Oh yeah, there’s also a digital scorecard so you don’t have to worry about keeping tabs with a pencil. (Ed. note: GolfLogix and GOLF.com are affiliates of 8AM Golf.)
$10 per month / 50 for 1 year from www.golflogix.com
