Does this range finder work well for golf?

Yes I use it for golf also, only problem is you have to have a very steady hand if you try to point it at the flag,,almost impossible. I target the ground right in front of the pin and that works fine. I love this Rangefinder

I've tried it and can find the edges of bunkers and fixed geography as well as the group in front's cart, but it's quite difficult for me to focus on a flag and get a reading. So, off the T I can find the distance to carry a bunker, and toward the green I can pick out the edge of a bunker or other players on the green, but the flag is tough. On the range where they have a wide collar around the flagstick I can pick it up.

My wife bought it and she is pleased with it. I down loaded golf logix app to my I phone, which has the the same courses and works real well for a $20 per year charge. Her golf buddy is a little more dependable and I have had to ask her for yardage distances on occasion.

I use mine for hunting and shooting. I've never played golf. It will work, however, as long as you have an object large enough to reflect the beam adequately, and to be sure that you're reflecting the object you're sighting on. It will accurately range a smallbore rifle target to at least 200 yards. It will range a stop sign accurately at 500 yards. I'm not sure how a golf flag compares to either of those objects. I've never needed the elevation correction, since most my shorts are not long enough for it to matter.

Yes, it has been working very well for me with Golf fairways and greens. jqgriswold@gmail.com

The problem I see is being able to hold it steady enough at that range but will do the job. It will track on and off target so you will know dhen you range prairie dog with distance comparison. Hope this helps it is great range finder

Its for hunting so don't know if would work on golf course or not. I know in my search for this one I saw a few that were made for golf. Good luck

So the electronic range finder will work. I like the binocular. Works great.

It will give you very accurate reads on ball speed and distance. Great for determining your average distances for each club.

I have had a Callaway rangefinder for a couple of years. A ranging session is hard to describe accurately. If you are 150 yards away from the pin that is one session, then you check the top of the bunker you have to carry, that is another session. The distance to the front of the green is another session as well as the distance to carry the pond in front of the green is another session. You can study a 150 yard shot and use up to 5 sessions in one go. My battery lasts about 8 months of 3 or 4 rounds a week. Keep an extra battery in your bag and you are good to go.

One more thing - a golf GPS? Have you gotten lost playing golf? Not a golfer, but sounds dangerous!! :-)

I am very pleased with the GolfBuddy. The voice GPS rangefinder will give from over 600 yards to any distance closer.

It does not show distance to traps, hazards, etc. I wanted an inexpensive GPS unit that would show distances to front, center, and back of green that was accurate and easy to use which this one does. It also will show shot distance, keep score, give round time, and is able to edit distances. I can get two rounds with one charge, however, I usually charge it each time I play. I am very happy with this unit.

You'll probably have difficulty getting readings. The pin seeker function isn't that accurate. I usually need to estimate what I expect to match the correct yardage. It's more expensive, but the Bushnell Jolt would work better for you. It vibrates when it locks on to the pin. Have two playing partners that use this and works great.

John I honestly don't know, I only use mine for deer hunting. I don't think the angle correction would matter in a golf application, because from 26-30 ft in the air there is only approx. 1ft difference in some of my shots per the angle measurements. As far as being accurate, it is extremely accurate!

I use this solely for golf and for the price it works well. It does not take into account elevation change and after 200 yards it gets a little tricky hitting the pin (if you can consistently hit the pin from 200+ with your shot you could probably land a sponsor and get a free rangefinder). If I cannot hit the pin with this I usually use a bunker or back edge to get within 10/15 yards.

No. The scope while being a nice product is not a range finder of any type. Like most scopes , it is up to you to figure out the distance and aim appropreatly.

its not a red dot range finder like on the golf coarse its a scale range finder where you do a formula. there is a scale inprinted inside, on the top is a light button, but they are nice.
