Mileseey PF260 Tour Golf Rangefinder Review: NCG Summary
NCG SUMMARY
This is a fantastic entry-level rangefinder that will really make you question whether it is worth spending hundreds of pounds on one manufactured by the established brands.
Ultimately, a laser is pretty much a one-trick pony and as long as you can zap those pins quickly and reliably then why would you need to spend considerably more money than this?
PROS
- 6x magnifying lens to make it easier to spot the flag
- Rechargeable battery offers plug-in solution
- Incredibly attractive price tag
CONS
- Not a brand familiar to many golfers
First Impressions
It isn’t difficult to work out how to use the Mileseey PF260 Tour Laser. It’s all pretty standard in terms of the buttons and lens for anyone familiar with a laser rangefinder. It’s a really compact piece of kit – I would say ideally suited to those who carry and really don’t want any unnecessary bulk or weight.
It also comes with a smart carrying case, while a magnetic strip allows you to attach it to places such as your buggy, should you use one.
On-course testing
I didn’t have any problems operating the device and was able to lock in on my targets without any fuss. As with any laser rangefinder, you just need to work out how to hold it in a way that is stable and doesn’t wobble. My preferred method is what I call the T-Rex – with my elbows pinned against my chest. I find that works in the same way as a tripod does.
You can use the Slope mode function by sliding the large button across and that will factor whether you are playing up hill or downhill into the true value of the yardage. Note: this function is not permitted in competition play. It’s purely for your practice rounds and to learn more about how far you hit the ball.
NCG Final Verdict
It’s hard not to be positive about a device that is less than half the price of the equivalent from the recognised brands in this sector. Having only tested the Mileseey PF260 Tour Laser over a period of weeks, I can’t yet speak for its longevity, which is sometimes where you see the difference in the size of the investment.

But over several rounds, I can only confirm that it is easy to use and does what it needs to. I have no problem zapping my targets to measure distance with this device and I am confident in the yardages it is providing me with. I would say that makes it a winner at a price point like this.
