The Best Golf Rangefinders (2025)

Rangefinders can include a slew of features, which can make shopping as a novice confusing. The most important options in our testing include slope measurement (elevation gained or lost), a pinspotter (which zeroes in on the pin when tracking), weatherproofing, tournament mode, a cart magnet, and last but definitely not least, image stabilization.

Other handy options from some of our favorites include an OLED display for a bright targeting overlay, and Bluetooth connectivity to pair with other golf devices like a smartwatch for GPS data. The fancier you get, the more features you’ll find, including options like wind speed and direction, element compensation, and more. That said, there is such a thing as too much data, and you’ll usually pay a premium as the feature count goes up.
