Golf Rangefinders

Quality rangefinders cost between £200-£400. Budget models start around £150 but may lack accuracy and durability. Premium models (£400+) offer advanced features like slope calculation and superior optics.

Expensive rangefinders offer better accuracy, faster readings, clearer optics, and features like slope adjustment. Premium models are more durable and reliable in varying conditions. Budget options may struggle in low light or rain.

Hold steady with both hands, aim at reflective targets (flags, poles), and take multiple readings for accuracy. Use scan mode for multiple targets. Keep lens clean and replace batteries regularly for best results.

Basic rangefinders are tournament-legal. Models with slope function must have this feature disabled during competition. Always check specific tournament rules. Consider a dual-mode device that easily switches between casual and tournament play.

Look for rangefinders with stabilization technology or 'pinseeker' vibration. Premium models offer better stabilization and faster target acquisition. Some include magnetic cart mount for steady readings.
