The best of the best! We roundup the best Bushnell golf rangefinders for 2026
Bushnell are arguably the biggest hitter in the golf technology space. They are synonymous with most golfers for their quality rangefinders, GPSs and lasers.
Picking the right club has never been more accurate.
Here at NCG, we have tested a number of Bushnell rangefinders over the last 12 months to give you a selection of some of the best offerings they have.
Long story short, you’re certainly in the right place if you’re looking for a quality rangefinder.
Whether it was intentional or not, opting to go with a Bushnell product for your rangefinder is a strong choice.
There aren’t many brands as trusted in the golf space, so check out some of their offerings below…
The Bushnell Tour Hybrid is a lovely, compact size and much lighter than these devices used to be. Think of it as a great laser first and foremost – but with significant benefits in the form of the GPS information it also provides.
Sometimes with a laser you wonder what you get by choosing one of the established premium brands. After all, a yardage is a yardage. Well, I can assure you that using the Bushnell Tour Hybrid is a joy. It’s quick and its reassuringly crisp at finding the flags you are pointing it.
The Bushnell Tour Hybrid is a stylish, well-constructed, premium piece of kit that I know serous golfers will love. It takes only a couple of moments to set up and then you are all set for play. You don’t have to touch it between rounds once you have the settings as you want them.
PROS
Does two things in one – saving the need to carry both a laser and a GPS
Gorgeously crisp and rapid when zapping – it really locks in on your target
Tells you where the flag is in relation to the green
CON
Other, specialist GPS devices will give you much more detail on what is going on on any given hole

This is a rechargeable rangefinder and a full charge lasts for 50+ rounds or 3000+ target acquisitions. It did not come close to running out of battery during testing. In the past I would perhaps have avoided something rechargeable in case it was dead when I went out to play.

One of the great features of the A1-slope being so small is that it is not too obtrusive if you put it in your pocket. The BITE magnetic skin is a clever addition. It is a silicon sleeve that incorporates a very strong magnet to attach to a cart should you so wish.
This is one of my favourite pieces of kit I have tested. It has all the functionality of a full-size rangefinder. The question is not so much why did Bushnell make this smaller but why are rangefinders usually the size they are? Its small dimensions did not make it any more fiddly in my opinion. Bushnell have created an absolute winner with the A1-Slope.
I currently use a Bushnell Tour V4 slope edition which I’ve had for roughly four years. The first thing I noticed about the V6 was how much heavier it seemed compared to mine. I actually weighed them both out just to check and the V6 is 69 grams heavier. The quality of the V6 is excellent and feels like it’s made of better quality materials than the plastic bodies V4, which is where I think the added weight has come from. Both devices hold the same CR2 battery and the V6 actually came with a new Duracell battery, which was very handy. Through the lens, you can also see how much power is left in the battery so it doesn’t unexpectedly run out on you mid-round.
The Tour V6 only has two buttons, both on the top. The orange button is what you press to lock in and laser a target and the other allows you to change between yards and metres.

I really liked how the V6 sat in my hand. There is a textured, rubber area where your thumb sits that helps with grip. That area is molded so your hand sits nicely when holding the laser. This is great as it allows for a more stable hand when trying to lock in flags.
The V6 has improved pin seeking accuracy. Just like previous models, there is vibration feedback when you lock in a flag. The V6 offers additional feedback as the outer circle of the lens flashes red. At first, this scared me as I wasn’t expecting it but once I got used to it, it was just like it always happened. I found all of the numbers to be very similar to my current Bushnell as well as the Bushnell Phantom 2 Slope that I was also testing at the time.
