With the various instruments we carry, distances can be measured to within a.01 of an inch and, therefore, with confidence on each shot. You may require a laser rangefinder for golf or a course-map GPS device; we have it.
They are simple to use and offer features such as slope tech, which compensates for elevation fluctuations to give you a better measurement. Our golf range finders will give you the distance to hazards, flags, and doglegs with perfect accuracy. Let’s quit wasting our time and play smarter.

What is a Golf Rangefinder & GPS Device, and How Does it Work?
The golf rangefinder uses laser technology to measure your distance to the marker. The system just aims at the flag (or hazard), presses a button, and determines how far you have to shoot depending on how long the laser takes to return. It’s that easy!
GPS units function a little differently. They use golf technology to take satellite images of your position on the course and give you an in-depth view of each hole, from hazards to the green. Whether you use a rangefinder or a GPS system, they both have information to help you make more informed decisions and play better golf.
The Slope
The slope technology of modern golf rangefinders is probably the most exciting. It calculates the angle of slope between you and the flag and changes the distance as it slops. This feature is a godsend for those thorny uphill or downhill shots, allowing you better yardage so you know exactly which club to pick.
Ranges (Minimum & Maximum)
When selecting the golf rangefinder, it is important to be aware of the distance capability. The majority of equipment ranges from as little as 5 yards all the way up to 1,000 yards. When it comes to a short par three or a longer par 5, our range finders give you the distance data you need to nail that shot every time.
Magnification
With zooming, you can focus on your goal and pin down the flag or anything else. Many of our golf rangefinders come with up to 6x magnification, so you can easily distinguish distant targets. Now, with this kind of clarity, you’ll never doubt your distance again.
What is the Difference Between Rangefinders and Golf GPS Devices?
While both rangefinders and GPS devices help you determine distances, they operate differently.

Is it Legal to Use Golf Rangefinders?
Yes! Golf rangefinders are legal for use in most casual rounds and many tournaments, although it’s important to check specific tournament rules regarding slope technology. For those competitions that don’t allow slope technology, most rangefinders have a tournament-legal mode that disables this feature, so you’re always playing within the rules.
