From Nikon to Bushnell: The 10 best golf rangefinders in 2024

best golf rangefinders garmin rangefinder in use

You're a golfer and you, to nobody's surprise, want to hit the ball in the hole. After months of getting in golf shape, you've perfected control of the muscles essential to your swing and practiced them again and again. Need 100 yards to the hole? You can hit exactly that within a 5% margin of error. But you don't need 100 yards. Or maybe you do. In fact, you don't know how far you are from the hole. If only you had a golf rangefinder to tell you how far it is away and how much slope you have to fight to get up to it.

The best golf rangefinders will help you in much the same way that a golf GPS can. They act like an informational gun, just point and shoot to learn how far away something is and possibly even learn how much slope you'll need to climb to get there. Where a GPS gives you a map of your surroundings — and, possibly, how far away something is and even slope based on GPS data if you're lucky — the rangefinder will give you a true-to-life look at the land as it is today. At least, as long as you can see the spot you want info on from your current vantage point. Oh, and they magnify, too, making them like sort of single-lensed binoculars for golf (monoculars?). As a result, some golfers like to use a rangefinder instead of a golf GPS, or even use the two in tandem. The following are the best golf rangefinders to help you settle in on your next 18, putting the perfect amount of power on each shot.

The best camper vans for adventurous luxury living in the great outdoors

Solar power, full bathrooms, decked-out kitchens, and high-end finishes throughout—these rigs have it all.

Three Outside Van camper vans parked in the desert.

Back in the day, camper vans were the original "shaggin' wagons." If your pappy or grandpappy had one, they could probably regale you with stories of cruising across the great US of A in a tricked-out van with dual captain's chairs, a fold-down rear sofabed, and copious shag carpeting throughout (cue Steve Miller Band's greatest hits!). But times have certainly changed. Today's swankiest camper vans offer all the comforts of home, including fully applianced kitchens, pop-up rooftop tents, solar power for weeks, and even full bathroom setups. If that's the level of opulence you're looking for, these seven rigs are the best camper vans for luxe living in the great outdoors.
Storyteller Overland Beast Mode: Best for hardcore overlanders

Most of the luxury camper vans on this list are well-equipped to take you just about anywhere on-road and (mostly) off-road. But Storyteller Overland's Beast Mode rig is an entirely different animal. It's the most rugged, go-anywhere camper van in SO's line-up with legit full-time four-wheel-drive powered by a turbodiesel V6 capable of towing up to 5,000 pounds. Beefy BF Goodrich K02 tires and overlanding-friendly tech, like LED lightbars, a side ladder, and a sizable roof rack good for hauling all your favorite outdoor gear, mounting a solar array, or both—your call—are all standard. We love the interior, too, which features a cushy, retro-meets-modern vibe that's way cooler than even the most custom vanlifing rigs you've seen all over the Instagrams and TikToks. What's more, the price includes all the fixin's, so you needn't worry about running up the bottom line with your favorite options. Starting at $232,586.
