GOLFBUDDY 2S PRO Golf Range Finder with Slope, Measuring from The Cart, 1093 Yard Laser Rangefinder, Magnetic Mount, Pin Finder with Flag Pole Locking Vibration, One Click Scan Mode, Water Proof

I bought this range finder as a suggestion by Amazon. I previously had a Bushnell Tour V6 which is a $400 range finder. Don't get me wrong. The Bushnell was nice but this one has all the bells and whistles. Unfortunately, my Bushnell I left stuck to the cart and someone took notice and took it home with them. So I never got it back unfortunately. So this time around I figured I'd go on the cheaper end and not spend as much money. Well, let me tell you that this is one of the best range finders I've ever tried and owned myself. It has a scan option. Set it to the Scan mode and just point and scan around the course/hole and see the distances. They are pretty accurate. My nephew has a Blue Tees and ours are pretty identical in distance give or take 1-3 yards. The buddy mode is even better. Know where your ball is and have to do cart path only? Take it and use the buddy option. Scan your ball with the buddy option then scan the flag from your cart and it will triangulate the distance for you without having to stand behind your ball. For $100 bucks this is by far one of the best range finders I've every used. The only complaint I have is with the zoom. It's a little hard to twist and change the magnification. At least with mine anyway. I'm not sure if anyone else here that has bought it has had this issue. I have to twist it back in forth a few times to loosen it up but otherwise no other issues. The quality and feel of the range finder is nice. My Bushnell was big and felt hefty but I sometimes had trouble getting the flag. This one is a bit on the smaller side but still feels well built. I can't recommend this range finder enough. Looking for a good price range for a great range finder? This is it.

I have really enjoyed this rangefinder. For the money, I don’t think you could do any better. The buddy feature works flawlessly. I have been able to get my distance from the ball to the pin from my cart during rounds of cart path only and the distance has been within a yard or less every time I check it from the fairway. Magnet is strong and it has yet to fall off of the cart. Would definitely recommend this range finder.

So far, I’m really happy with this range finder. It’s dead on with my buddies more expensive range finder, and the “buddy mode” has been so helpful during this winter golf season when it’s cart path only. It gives a precise reading to the flag so that I can confidently duff the ball 20 yards with the correct club.

Golfbuddy rangefinders are my goto now. I bought one of the earlier models and just really like the features and functionality of their rangefinders. Some of the great main features are large numbers in the viewfinder. They also have great vibration feedback with options of configuring how you want the vibration feedback whether it be the pin or any yardage that is captured. I also like that they don't have fractions of yardages. I think fractions of yardages just makes getting a yardage more complicated than it needs to be. The 2S Pro model has all the great features and functionality of the Golfbuddy rangefinders. There is a couple of things that can be improved on. One is the having more rubber grip on the rangefinder. It is a little slippery. I just like a lot of rubber on my rangefinders. The other is having OLED display. OLED is much easier to see in the viewfinder when the lighting is not great.

This is an excellent rangefinder. It rivals the models at $300+. It is extremely accurate and does a fantastic job of quickly giving you your distance (with or without slope). I have had close to 6 different models over the years and this is my gamer for every round. You will not be disappointed. The build quality is great, the magnet is strong and it’s quick on the info. If I lose this one, I will be back to buy another one. Highly recommend.

I previously had a Blue Tees Pro 3 max+ that was way more expensive than this. It was super inconsistent after a few uses and refused to lock on or shot a landmark behind the flag. I saw the reviews on this and the price point and thought let's give this a try. It won't break the bank but if it doesn't perform well then it won't be a big loss. First day out and absolutely fell in love with it. Quick lock, accurate distance and ZERO frustrations. Buddy system? absolutely flawless, when I am waiting for my partner to hit and I am ahead of them, I will shoot my ball then the flag and it will give me an accurate distance. Give it a try!

Excellent product

This rangefinder is lightweight and easy to hold. The magnet seems pretty strong and sticks to a golf cart well enough. It gets a 3-star rating because it does not reliably find the pin and gives me distances to objects in the distance. When there are trees beyond the green, it frequently reports the distance to the trees and not the pin. I have a Garmin golf watch that is also not reliably accurate, but rarely off by more than 10-15 yards, so I can check the distance on my watch against the rangefinder's distance to confirm that the rangefinder has correctly found the pin and not the objects behind the green. When the 2 devices report wildly different distances it's time to try the rangefinder again. EVENTUALLY, it will lock on to the pin. Many times I've tried to shoot the flag itself, thinking that the larger object would be easier for the rangefinder to lock on to than the pin. However, it, or mine at least, seems to ignore the flag. On a positive note, when it DOES lock on to the pin, the distance it reports matches pretty closely to what others get with their rangefinders. For years I used a Golf Warehouse branded rangefinder that worked really well right up until it would no longer turn on, but that model is no longer made. I had high hopes for this one, but no dice. I prefer to walk when possible, and usually will when the course is cart path only, so have only tried the triangulation option a few times. On one occasion it was within a yard or two, when I checked it from the ball itself. On another occasion it was off by well over 10 yards. I wouldn't rule out user error as the cause of the inaccuracy. All in all, I wouldn't buy this one again, nor would I recommend it.
