GOLF
Welcome to GOLF’s 2023 edition of the Best of Everything, where we’re providing you with, well… the best of everything!
It’s 2023, you’re not still pacing off every yardage, are you?
While we won’t tell you which side to go with between team GPS and team rangefinder, we will tell you that this year’s crop of laser rangefinders are outstanding.
With plenty of extra features such as slope adjustments, interchangeable designs and even some with GPS integration, there’s a rangefinder for every golfer out there.
Keep reading below for the top rangefinders of 2023.
Nothing is more frustrating than hitting a shot and watching it sail over the target and into a bush, only to realize your rangefinder gave you the distance to said bush. Most of today’s rangefinders are accurate to within one yard and offer a response to let you know when you hit the reflector on top of the flagstick.
Rangefinders are supposed to help us play faster. It’s not useful if it take longer to find your distance to the pin with your laser than it does pacing off the distance from the nearest sprinkler head or 150-yard marker. All of the rangefinders below are lightning quick to get you a yardage in a matter of seconds.
Your range finder needs to be big enough so you can get a solid grip on it with your hands, but it can’t be so big and bulky it weighs down your golf bag or won’t fit in one of the holsters in your cart.
Do you want a simple design that will tell you how from from point A to point B? Or do you want your rangefinder to calculate slope, elevation, wind, air density, etc. and factor everything into a “plays-like” number? The options are almost endless. You can also get rangefinders that allow you to customize their look, or magetically attach to your cart for added convenience.
