Top 5 Rated Laser Rangefinders For Golf
Golf rangefinders are designed to improve your golf game by providing accurate distance readings to objects on the course. They use an eye safe laser to target an object and then measure the time it takes for the laser to bounce off the object and return to the rangefinder.
There are many different models with various features and quality levels on the market. In this article we'll present mini-reviews for the top 5 laser rangefinders.
Bushnell PinSeeker 1500 Tournament
A premium laser rangefinder from one of the world top optical device manufacturers. The 1500 tournament edition provides range readings from 5 to 1,500 yards at an accuracy of + or - one yard.
The Pinseeker 1500 has a 7x magnification monocular for viewing your target. This is one of the highest magnification levels available
This rangefinder comes with Bushnell's patented PinSeeker technology allows easy targeting of the flag while avoiding the possibility of capturing background targets. When more that one object is targeted the closer will be read.
This is an important feature, since getting an accurate lock on the flagstick from longer yardages is one of the toughest functions for a laser rangefinder.
Bushnell PinSeeker 1500 Slope
The PinSeeker 1500 Slope edition is exactly the same as the 1500 tournament edition with the exception of the added slope functionality.
"Slope" allows you to calculate distances with special compensation for uphill or downhill targets. This can make a big difference in club selection and using a slope edition laser rangefinder can allow you to dial in much more accurately than a regular rangefinder.
However, make sure that you are aware that any scores shot with the PinSeeker 1500 Slope edition rangefinder cannot be used for handicap purposes, and it will not be allowed in any tournament play.
Callaway Rangefinder LR1200
This top of the market rangefinder was designed by two big sporting companies. To ensure an accurate yardage device, Callaway has licensed the optical technology for this laser rangefinder from Nikon.
The LR1200 claims has been targeted to professional tournament caddies, and it the flagship of the Callaway rangefinder models. Rangefinders are not allowed for use in professional tournaments but caddies use them extensively to map courses before any tournaments.
Besides the ultra high quality optics supplied by Nikon, the most notable feature for the Callaway LR1200 is:
First Target Priority Mode - displays the range to the nearest target among multiple results obtained with a single measurement. This is designed to increase accuracy when aiming at a pin with a background of trees, something that can be a problem for unsophisticated rangefinders.
Callaway and Nikon's LR1200 is designed to be the best rangefinder on the market, worthy of it's billing as the "Official rangefinder of the PGA of America."
Leupold GX-I Rangefinder Pinhunter
A tournament and handicap legal golfing rangefinder from optical device company Leupold. Not extraordinary, it provides all the expected functionality at a reasonable price.
2 top features found in the GX-I are:
Pinhunter - technology to make taking yardage readings off of the flag much easier. Scan Mode - gives yardages of any objects in the viewfinder as you scan across the course.
Given Leupold's fine name and experience, expect the optical quality to be high. Pinhunter technology is a great feature for an entry level laser rangefinder.
Leupold GX-II Rangefinder Pinhunter
A high end rangefinder for the serious golfer, the GX-II is the advanced version of the GX-I rangefinder from Leupold. It has many innovative features, including slope calculations to give precise distances on uphill or downhill holes; unfortunately these advantages make it legal only for practice rounds.
Premium features include:
Inclinometer & True Golf Range (TGR) - The Leupold GX(TM)-II compensates for uphill shots that play long and downhill shots that play short. Club Selector - Factoring your specific striking distance, automatically recommends the appropriate club for each shot Temperature & Altitude - has settings for factoring temp and alt, to ensure the ultimate in accuracy of your shots. (Input of temp and alt is manual.)
The feature set is unparalleled in a rangefinder. No other golfer's distance device on the market offers temperature calibration and pin selection.
Note: as with the Bushnell 1500 Slope edition, the Leupold GX-II is not legal for use in rounds which will be submitted for handicap or in any tournament play.
These are the top laser rangefinders on the market. They are all very high quality devices and any would be a good aid for any golfer. When buying a laser rangefinder, not all are tournament legal or legal for use in handicap rounds, so make sure that you are buying one that fits your needs.

Golf GPS Vs Laser Range Finders
There are so many different golf range finders on the market today, it is important to understand the differences between the various technologies that exist and why one might be better than another. There is some discussion amongst golfers about how appropriate the use of such devices is. Is it against the rules? Why or why not? Let's take a closer look at some of these issues.
First, what are the competing technologies for golf range finders? Most fall into one of two categories: GPS units, or laser range finders.
Golf GPS units use global positioning system technology to help golfers identify yardage distances. GPS uses satellites to provide positioning data. The satellite sends a signal to Earth and tracks the time between transmission and reception of the signal. To get accurate data, a process called trilateration is used. Between several satellites working to provide signal data and with geometric trilateration, accurate positioning data can be sent to a receiver. IN this case the golf GPS receiver.
What makes this so nice is that you can get accurate distances to the pin, but also combine a great user experience. The golf GPS units are universally more fun to use than a laser range finder. The GPS units come with large color screens (depending on model). You can even upload course maps, get green elevations and see how other holes are laid out nearby, Golf GPS units are truly fun to use.
Golf laser range finders are a little different. These devices fire a laser beam, or series of laser beams, at a stationary object - a pin in this case. The laser reflections provide the device with an accurate distance. These measurements tend to be very accurate.
The laser range finder is used by looking through a scope. While looking through the viewfinder, you line the cross hairs up on your target, be it a pin, tree, or other hazard. Once the target is lined up, you start the device. The yardage is displayed inside the view finder to the user.
The nice part about the laser range finders are that they are easy to use, easy to set up and can be very small. For example, the Bushnell Medalist with Pinseeker comes in at just over four ounces! Ease of use and accuracy make them quite a nice option.
For all out fun and a lot of interesting data, the golf GPS unit is the way to go. With all kinds of interactive products like the Yardage Pro Golf GPS from Bushnell, you'll have a great time. For pure accuracy and ease of use, you can't go wrong with a laser rangefinder.
