We tried rangefinders from different price ranges in our 2024 rangefinder testing. Most of the best ones are in the $299-plus price range which puts them out of reach for some of us. Don’t despair! Here are some relatively inexpensive rangefinders that still give you some performance on the course.

Voice Caddie Laser FIT

The Voice Caddie Laser FIT is less than $200 and has slope integration and clear readings. One of our favorite features is the rechargeable battery. The battery lasts for eight hours.

This does not have a magnetic cart attachment. During our 2024 testing, the Laser FIT received a score of 9.2, which tied it with the Vortex Blade, Precision Pro NX10 and Precision Pro NX9.

For the price, the Voice Caddie Laser FIT has a lot to offer.

Shot Scope PRO L2

The Shot Scope PRO L2 finished just behind the Voice Caddie Laser Fit with a score of 9.1. However, it’s also about $70 cheaper. The Pro L2 offers a fast-speed vibration lock and very clear optics. However, it lacks some features of premium rangefinders. If you mostly care about the accuracy of the number (which you should), try the Shot Scope PRO L2. 

Here are MyGolfSpy, we support golf being played in any form.

Wear what you want. Play how you want. Be as informed about equipment as you want.

Consume the game in whatever form you feel is appropriate.

But it’s also worth acknowledging that when the game is played at a seriously high level—such as on the PGA Tour—the expectations for how you conduct yourself shift. Money and livelihoods are at stake. Naturally, there are unwritten rules that get followed to a higher standard than at your weekly league.

Here is an incomplete list of etiquette a Tour player follows that the average golfer (for the most part) ignores or doesn’t consider. I haven’t included any actual rules here—obviously recreational players tend to make up their own common sense rules—so all of these are in the etiquette category.

I know what you’re thinking. Why the heck are you talking about pickleball? You’re a golf equipment website!

Have you walked into a PGA TOUR Superstore lately? Pickleball gear has its own section! Maybe the preppy country club you belong to finally got some courts. I’ve played at plenty of courses where the dinks and dunks of that little green whiffle ball being batted back and forth can be heard from every tee box and green.

Pickleball and golf go hand in hand. Both cater to a similar demographic and they’re sports that I consider “lifetime” activities, sports you can play for most of your life.

I have played more than I care to admit and even though I’d still get schooled by some random 60-year-old, I’ve gained a new appreciation for the sport.

Once you’ve tried it, it’s easy to see why it’s so addictive. It’s not dissimilar to golf. Understanding pickleball equipment and where to start will make your journey to pickleball stardom a much more rewarding experience.
