7 Best Budget Golf Rangefinders in 2021

Bushnell Tour V4 Jolt

Bushnell offers a certified tournament legal golf rangefinder that is of good quality with a 5x magnification power that gives a clear display ranging of up to 1000 yards. It also features low vibration, while the scanner hits a flag making the range clear for the shot. The dimensions measure 2.6 x 2 x 1.3 inches making it easily handled and lightweight.

This company is known worldwide for its quality products and this latest laser rangefinder is no different. We found it easy to use and great if you don’t have a steady hand or had a few beers. The Jolt technology helps you hit the flag with ease and get the correct yardage on any of the golf courses you play on.

Nikon Coolshot 20i Golf Laser Rangefinder

Nikon knows there way around top-notch optics, so it’s no surprise they produce a quality laser rangefinder like the Nikon Coolshot 20i Slope.

It is reasonably priced, light and compact, and very fast and accurate according to the reviewers on Amazon. The only major downside is that although it has slope technology, it does not have the slope and non-adjusted measurements on display like more expensive models.

The battery included lasts quite a while too, so that is something less you have to worry about. And it comes with a case, albeit a very simple one, with absolutely no frills.

However, this golf laser rangefinder is definitely worth a look.

Precision Pro Golf NX7

This was a pleasant surprise for us, this model has over 230 reviews on Amazon and scores 4.5 out of 5. We can see why now after using it. Lightweight, easy to use and accurate, it definitely deserves to be in our list.

The Precision Pro Golf NX7 Pro Laser Rangefinder comes up with a handy vibration feature too. It gives a pulse when you hit the target confirming that you have measured the right distance. It is durable, with water-resistant technology. And, it is has a shockproof outer body, making it last longer should you happen to drop it.

It comes with 6x magnification, which helps you acquire targets at a distance more easily. And, it can measure up to 400 yards with a clear view of the target. It can even do this on flat ground or on a slope. Although it does not have slope measurement, this feature would have to be turned off to be tournament legal.

It is also lightweight and relatively small for a golf rangefinder: measuring 6 x 8 x 4 inches. Which is great news when you have to carry it around all day!

TecTecTec VPRO500 Golf Rangefinder

TeCTeCTeC is one of the brands that has taken the market by storm by offering one of the best rangefinders out there. It is a laser rangefinder with a pin sensor that measures up to 540 yards with continuous scanning. Moreover, many reviewers have compared it with more expensive rangefinders, like the Bushell, and found the target acquisition and range accuracy to be very comparable.

The outer body is also water-resistant, which is great if you get caught in the occasional storm of fog or light rain while out on the course.

Another positive about this golf rangefinder is that it is very lightweight and compact, weighing in at only 6.5oz (185g). This means you will barely notice you are carrying it.

Some reviewers however say that it can fail to obtain or give repeatable measurements over around 200 yards. This is something you may want to think about before buying this laser rangefinder.

Raythor Golf Rangefinder

This laser rangefinder from Raythor is a bit of a sleeper – everyone loves it, it’s easy to use, it’s reliable, and it’s about 1/3 of the price of the more popular models. What’s not to like?

It has a constant scanning laser that is very accurate if you use the rangefinder correctly. Aim for an obvious object, often the flag, and then you are good to go. It even has slope adjustment!

This rangefinder comes with its own carry pouch, has rechargeable batteries that will last many rounds, and is quite lightweight.

Sure, you may never have heard of Raythor golf rangefinders, but just go check the reviews on Amazon and you will see that it’s a budget rangefinder winner!

Saybien Golf Rangefinder

With up to 6x magnification, this laser rangefinder from Saybien is also very light and portable at only 0.4 lbs. They also provide a handy carry case, so you can keep it clean and secure between long shots.

The use of a long-lasting lithium-ion battery means you don’t have to worry about replacing batteries. Just charge it via USB between rounds and you are good to go.

This golf rangefinder can make measurements from 1  to 1,200 yards, so should be fine for any drives or long-distance shots you need to make. Some reviewers report difficulty getting accurate distances at longer distances, so if you make a lot of longer shots, other models of laser rangefinder might be a better option.

Precision Golf Nexus

Probably nowhere near the top option in terms of golf rangefinders, the Precision Nexus is still a worthwhile choice.

It is reasonably priced and still gets the job done, being able to hit targets quite accurately up to 400 yards. The viewfinder is somewhat small and might annoy some people, but with the added multiple target finding ability, as you scan, it more than makes up for it.

It is also quite compact and can easily fit into your pocket as you head around the golf course.
