Our Picks: The 6 best rangefinders we used in 2024

Welcome to GOLF’s 2024 holiday edition of Our Picks, where our experts are hand-selecting the items you — and your golf-loving family and friends — need on your radar. Scroll below for our latest batch of recommendations, and visit our Best Golf Stuff of 2024 hub page for more articles.

It’s 2024 (almost 2025!) which means a rangefinder is an essential piece of your golf bag.

No more of this walking out to the middle of the fairway to find the 100-, 150- and 200-yard markers. Take your laser out, point it at the flag and bam! You’ve got the exact yardage to the flag, or a bunker or a tree you want to aim at.

Today’s rangefinders are so much more than just lasers too. From slope integration, to measuring other variables and GPS functions, the options are endless.

At GOLF.com and GOLF Magazine, we see it all. The good stuff you want is on our website and in the pages of our magazine, hand-picked by our golf-loving experts who have been dialing in our best estimation of what exactly you (the reader!) wants. This holiday season, our staff put their heads together to come up with gift ideas you’ll jump at, both from our sister site Fairway Jockey and other brands across the U.S. The result? Must-have items any golfer would love — and just in time for shopping season.

Check out our picks below for must-have rangefinders for your bag, which includes items from Nikon, Pinned Golf, Bushnell and more.
