I may have made an error buying this. I bought this for golf. Can this be used as a golf rangefinder?

It measures yardage, shouldn't matter if it's a deer or a tree next to the green.

Pretty sure this is geared towards archery, not golf. It might work for you though.

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.

The watch has worked like a charm for me after I downloaded the "User Manual": bushnellgolf.com/neowatchOn page 10 at the bottom it says to be outdoors away from buildings and trees to get the best GPS signal. I was getting a good signal and it was saying that I can choose courses that were 10 miles away. You may want to give the golfcourse a call to see if they are part of the network. If you still have a problem, you might try calling their customer service 800-423-3537. They are very helpful. Best of luck to you.

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

I have used it in tournaments. Each course or tournament may have different rules. You need to check with your tournament chairperson to make sure they have not excluded the use of such devices.

It is not a range finder in that you point it at the flag. It just gives you the distance from where your ball is to the front, center and back of the green.

You look through the view finder at the flag pin, bunker, tree, ect... it gives you exact distance from any where on the golf course to any obstacle or hazard. It is a very fine product, works well in all weather conditions. I would HIGHLY recommend this product. I could not be happier with my purchase. My brother has since purchased one as well as one of my other golfing buddies. Good luck and Merry Christmas!

Not that I know of. The Golf Guru GPS is useless without it. I think Amazon has some explaining to do and some responsibility.

Nope, this rangefinder does not measure slope. That's a good thing, it's legal to use in tournaments.

I bought the GPS range finder first and clipped to my scorecard on my cart then realized my cart may not be near my ball so I bought the wristband. I am favorably impressed with my GPS and wristband combination. All I need to select the right club at an 18 handicap at 67 years old, have been playing golf for 55 years.

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

You need to supply your own "Golf Alignment Stick" or fiberglass sign rod from Home Depot, to mount the holster on. As long as it is not too windy it works fine. You just have to set it the correct distance to get the best picture. The holster itself, works great.

I actually use them for golf, to see if my ball is close enough to the pin to go alone :) and win! Weird use I know, but my range finder is only 6X so these work very well designed bird watching the field of depth seems good as well

Yes, I bought it for my boyfriend because the one he had was stolen. He uses it, and he says it works great. The numbers are very clear and larger than his other rangefinder he had. He likes it a lot, and he's very particular.

This would only fit a golf ball. Seriously. I only use it as a "faux" deterrent. Wouldn't use this for the real thing.

When you are at, or near, the course you wish to play, chose "play golf" using the bottom left button. After it links to GPS satellite, it will list all of the available courses in that area. I live in Montana and so far, it has had every course even small obscure ones that I thought might not be in it. Make sure you use the usb cable and an internet connected computer to update the watch as soon as you get it. It did take about a 3/4 hour to update it initially after I got it, but worked as advertised after I did this. Great tool to help improve and enhance your golf game.

It's a multi-function rangefinder but yes I purchased it for my wife for Christmas for golf and it works well. I've found that at times it will pickup something else around the flag occassionaly but it's easy to use, accurate and she loves it.
