5 Things to Love About the Bushnell neo+ Golf GPS Rangefinder

The Bushnell neo+ has been retired. Check out our current recommendations for today's best golf rangefinders..

Of all the units we’ve reviewed, the Bushnell neo+ Golf GPS Rangefinder is one of our favorites. We’ve put together a quick list of reasons we think you will love it too!

1. It’s super easy to use. You press the power button to turn it on. Press the OK button to select “Play Golf”. It displays a list of nearby courses. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the course you wish to play and press OK. Theoretically, you don’t even have to touch another button until your ready to turn it off after the 18th hole. However, if you’re willing to use one more button when you need distance to a hazard, that’s easy as well. In user reviews, ease of use is mentioned more than any other feature.
2. It’s preloaded with 25,000 golf courses and there are NO membership fees. It’s true that most GPS units today come preloaded, but it’s still shocking that so many courses can be packed into this little device. You will be required to register your Bushnell neo+ within 45 days of turning it on for the first time. That means hooking it up to your computer and following a few simple instructions. The good part is that all of the golf course maps will be updated with the latest information. The process should only take a few minutes.
3. It’s compact and lightweight. Of course golfers who walk will love the small size, but so do those who use the belt clip or even carry it in their pocket. Bushnell maximized the screen real estate so despite the small package, the numbers are still quite readable.
4. It’s fast and accurate. You’re not likely to have to wait when you arrive at your ball for the Bushnell neo+ to settle on the correct distance. Users report that it’s really quick to acquire the correct yardage. The neo+ utilizes the iGolf database of golf courses, which is one of, if not the best database available. Overall, users report feeling very satisfied with the accuracy of this device.
5. The price is right! It really may be the best value in a golf GPS rangefinder. Golf watches with similar features cost quite a bit more and other units that are similarly priced and sized, often don’t provide distances to hazards. The Bushnell neo+ seems to have a found sweet spot in the GPS rangefinder market.
