Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 Laser Rangefinder

This model is no longer available. Check out our latest picks!

Our Review Summary of the Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 Laser Rangefinder is based on our research of user reviews across multiple websites. We look for commonly mentioned pros and cons so that we can provide an accurate representation of the device. We also calculate a GRS Score based based on user ratings to help when making comparisons between golf rangefinders.

Keep in mind that there are two versions of the Bushnell Pinseeker 1500: the Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 Tournament Edition and the Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 Slope. The only difference between the two is that the Tournament Edition does not include the slope measurement and is legal for use in competitions that have established a local rule allowing distance measuring devices. The slope model measures +/- one degree of angle, and compensated range, based upon ball trajectory and type of club used, but is not legal for use in competition.

Bushnell Pinseeker 1500 Laser Rangefinder GRS Score: 4.62 out of 5 (133 reviews)

Most Mentioned Pros:

  • Easy to use
  • Displays yardages fast
  • No membership or subscription fees
  • No downloads needed, one button operation
  • Durable and comes with a carrying case
  • 7x Magnification (can also be used for hunting)
  • Accurate and can be used to measure any visible target
  • No searching for satellites, just point and click!
  • Adjustable eyepiece
  • Automatically seeks the pin for you despite all the landscapes in the background

Most Mentioned Cons:

  • Pricey, compared to GPS devices
  • Requires a steady hand. Some users have difficulty holding the device steady enough so that it can scan and calculate the yardages. However, most were able to get it down with some practice.
  • Bulky

Laser rangefinders are extremely accurate and Bushnell has been leading the way for years in creating the top golf rangefinders. Compared with GPS devices, the features my be limited, but if accuracy if your main concern, laser is the way to go.

If you’re confused because you’ve seen two very similar GPS devices with similar names on them (the iGolf GPS neo and the Bushnell neo), let us help clear it up for you.

When Bushnell got into GPS golf units in 2008, they partnered with iGolf for the GPS function in their Yardage Pro units. In 2009, the partnership was expanded as Bushnell acquired the rights to the iGolf ‘s line of handheld units. That’s when the labeling on this small unit changed from iGolf neo to the Bushnell neo. The GPS is still powered by iGolf and Bushnell has added two new products to its line, the Yardage Pro XG and the Yardage Pro XGC., both also powered by iGolf.

Our Ratings Scores are calculated using User Reviews from multiple websites.

Highlights of the Bushnell (iGolf) Neo:
  • Gives distance to the front, middle & back of each green
  • 4 custom points can be set on each hole
  • Stores up to 10 courses
  • Calculates shot distance
  • Easy to use
  • Rainproof
  • Includes belt clip
  • Rechargeable Li-Ion battery
  • High contrast LCD screen
