Laser rangefinders can help because there is so much room for error when you are trying to guess distances off of a bush or sprinkler head.

Have you ever run into a situation where the distance you get from a sprinkler head is to the front of the green and you just hit a club shorter than you needed? Battery details are in our rangefinder battery guide.

A golf rangefinder can help remove this guesswork.

The Golfbuddy LR7S is a budget friendly rangefinder.

This lightweight and compact rangefinder comes with a 23mm objective lens and 6x magnification. The optic is mult-colored giving you a clear view of your target. The LCD display can show your distance in either yards or meters.

GolfBuddy LR7S Features

Vibration Feedback

The pin finder mode has an additional feature that can be turned on to cause the rangefinder to vibrate when locked onto a target. To turn this on, you need to turn on the rangefinder by pressing the GB button once. Press the  M button to switch between modes, indicated on the LCD with the following letters: 

  • no letters = regular mode
  • S on the left side of the display = scan mode
  • S on the left and P on the right = Pin mode 
  • P only on the right = Pin Finder mode with vibration.

To turn on the vibration the idea is press and hold the GB button, then target something behind the Pin (ex. bunker) and move the cross-hairs to the pin/flag, once the laser hits the Pin it will vibrate. Please be aware you will have to press and hold the GB button during this process.

Water Resistant

The Golfbuddy LR7S is water resistant and can be used in rainy and wet conditions without issue.
