We’ve all heard the saying “less is more,” and when it comes to golf, that couldn’t ring truer. Fewer strokes make for better rounds. One of the easiest ways amateur golfers can lower their scores is by knowing their yardages—just one simple number you can count on. That’s where GolfBuddy’s Voice 2 GPS and the company’s rangefinders come in. Simple, direct and accurate, the goal of both devices is to provide you with a quick sense of what club to pull in any circumstance, whether you’re 250 yards from a hazard, or 30 yards from a green.

What works for you?

Basically, golf range devices break into two options—GPS units the provide you with precise perspectives on the hole you’re playing, or rangefinders, which are point-and-shoot devices that provide you with an accurate yardage to whatever target you consider. Here are our top options from GolfBuddy.

Laser 1 and Laser 1S Rangefinders

Rangefinders are elegant in their simplicity—point the device at the target and press a button to get accurate yardage for whatever you’re aiming at—bunker, green, pond. Both of GolfBuddy’s rangefinders come with a vibration mode that gives you certainty you’ve locked onto the target, a great LCD display and six times magnification. The main difference between the two units is the 1S will take the slope into account and calculate that into the yardage, adding yards for an uphill shot, and reducing yardage for a downhill approach.

GolfBuddy AIM V10 GPS or Voice 2 GPS

These easy to use GPS units are your one-button solution to hitting your next shot confidently. Preloaded with over 40,000 courses and equipped with automatic course recognition technology, these sleek devices provide audio distance measurements to keep you hands-free and totally focused. Simply step up to your ball, click the button, and listen to your very own micro-caddy give you the number.  The AIM V10 will cost you slightly more for a larger LCD display and longer battery life.

Which one is for me?

Both GPS and rangefinders have their fans. Those seeking very precise distances to everything—bunkers, that tree in the distance, the cart being used by the group ahead, really like the simplicity of pulling out a rangefinder and putting its site on the target.

Those who prefer GPS are likely to enjoy the simplicity of having the unit simply read the yardage at any point, offering you the confidence that, regardless if you are in the middle of the fairway or deep in the woods, you’ll know exactly how far it is to the flagstick.

Either way, GolfBuddy offers reliable products for a reasonable price point and are sure to help you improve your game whether you’re an avid golf or new to the game.
