Thank you Bushnell for bringing back the GPS/Laser Hybrid Rangefinder. We LOVE the features you have added since your previous version!

This laser rangefinder has Pinseeker with Jolt making it quick and easy to tell when you are locked onto the flag. Of course we love that the GPS has distances to hazards, but the thing we love most about the GPS… The distances to the front and back of the green show up in the the laser display! Now when you’re looking at the exact distance to the pin, you can also see the distance to the front and back of the green at the same time.

We also love there is one battery for the laser a separate rechargeable battery for the GPS. On top of all of this, there is an App for updating golf courses and seeing full-screen graphics and flyovers of the holes. We think Bushnell has really outdone themselves on the 2018 Bushnell Hybrid Rangefinder!

Golf Laser Range Finder Reviews

Our golf laser range finder reviews summarize the likes and dislikes of real users hands-on experience with laser golf rangefinders. We look for pros and cons that are mentioned by more than one person, so we can get a truer picture of customer satisfaction.

Our top picks for Golf Laser Range Finders in 2012 are…

  • Callaway Diablo Octane – excellent reviews, ratings and very affordable. We especially like the 6x magnification for this price.
  • Bushnell Hybrid – an excellent laser plus GPS yardages to front, middle, back and some alternate targets. A little pricey, but it’s the most complete golf rangefinder on the market.
  • Bushnell Tour Z6 -New on the scene in 2012, but early ratings are good. The quick lock on targets and easy to see red display font are a hit with users.

Our Callaway Diablo Octane Rangefinder Review research put this model at the top of our list for a long time due to the features, price and performance. Before you buy though, you might want to take a look at the price on the Callaway XHot Rangefinder. It’s identical in size and features, but has a new color scheme AND the price has been similar to the Diablo Octane lately.

Callaway Diablo Octane User Rating: 4.60 Stars 4.60 out of 5 (159 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources.

If you want the most bang for your buck, the Diablo Octane deserves a very close look. The reviews are excellent and the price is reasonable. It has a Nikon lens and a 6x zoom in a stylish compact design. Almost all the reviews we read were extremely positive.

Most Mentioned Pros
(in order from high to low):
  • Easy to use
  • Size / weight
  • Accuracy
  • Quality
  • Fast
  • Improves game
  • Picks up pin distance even with background objects
  • Price
  • Scan mode
  • Exact yardages to anything you can see
  • Easy to read
  • Appearance
Most Mentioned Cons
(in order from high to low):
  • requires steady hands (both users who mentioned this gave it a 5 star rating anyway)
Callaway Diablo Octane Rangefinder Features and Specifications

In features, the Diablo Octane Rangefinder is almost identical to the highly successful Callaway LR550. Both carry the Nikon label, have 6x magnification, are waterproof and feature First Target Priority Mode, which aids in targeting the pin rather than the trees behind the green. However, the ratings on the Diablo Octane are higher than the LR550, which could be due to the red and black color scheme! The only difference we noted is a “new slim-stratic sleeve utilizes an independent bag clip that stabilizes to the eyelet of the Rangefinder”.

Our Callaway LR550 Rangefinder Review Summary is a summary of pros and cons consistently mentioned in user reviews. The results were so compelling, that we also took this little laser out for a test round and we agree with the users, that this unit works as advertised.

Callaway LR550 User Rating: 4.51 Stars 4.51 out of 5 (225 reviews)

Score compiled from multiple sources.

The interesting thing about the LR550 is that the price has gone up since the release of Callaway’s newer models. Although we think this is an excellent rangefinder, we suggest checking the price of the Callaway Diablo Octane and the Callaway X-Hot and choosing the one with the lowest price. The number one mention by far was how easy it was to use. About 10% of users said that it required somewhat steady hands, but most of those users noted that after a little practice, they didn’t have much trouble.

Regarding the “learning curve” mentioned by a few users, we have to agree that it took us a few tries to figure it out. Since we didn’t take the time to read any instructions, we expected it to work like our old Bushnell, where you push and the hold the button while scanning. On the LR550, you aim first and then push and release the button. You then have 8 seconds to scan. Once we got the system down, we had no problem.

As long as your hands are steady enough to handle a laser rangefinder, the Callaway LR550 should be on your short list for consideration. If you’re not quite sure yet, you may also wish to utilize our laser rangefinder reviews and scores page.

Most Mentioned Pros (in order of mentions high to low):
  • easy to use
  • accuracy
  • quality/durability
  • compact size
  • Price/Value
  • Exact yardage to pin
  • Lightweight
  • Adds confidence to your club selectioin
  • Long battery life
  • Useful on driving range
  • Improves game
  • Scan mode makes it easy to hit target (hold button for up to 8 seconds so you don’t have to have it right on the target when you push the button
  • Get yardage fast
  • Color (the color models are easy to see, so you don’t accidentally leave it in your cart
  • Easy to read
  • No downloads
  • 6x magnification
  • Rainproof
  • Battery doesn’t have to be charged after every round
  • No annual fees
Most Mentioned Cons (in order of mentions high to low):
  • Requires steady hands
  • A little bit of a learning curve if you’ve never used laser before
