Bushnell Golf Tour V5 Rangefinder

Bought this one after returning a different one by another company. Friends suggested it and they were right. Accurate, easy to use, quick to get distance and I've felt confident the yardage is accurate 100% of the time. I don't rely on the slope function, though, as I usually feel I need more club than what the slope function tells me. That's just me. But love the weight of this and the speed of picking up the target!

It's easy to use and you get distance and slope quickly. It has a strong magnet so you can attach it to a cart and not worry about it. As well, it has a nice case for when you are not using it. Battery usage has been minimal. Nice product.

While a bit pricey, this thing is a BEAST!! As soon as you line up your target and press the button, you have a yardage! I mean...LESS THAN A SECOND! I had an older version (about 4 years old) and was never as quick to respond! The magnet on the side has not let me down yet either, especially on some pretty bumpy cart paths and bumps found on the fairways/rough. Has not fallen off once (and I’ve played about 25 rounds with it so far)!! I highly recommend this unit!UPDATE: after 14 months it has stopped working! I thought it just needed a new battery so I replaced it. Still the same. Won’t register a yardage at all! It worked great for about 13 months and I don’t use that much during a round (mainly on par 3’s). I paid $400 for something that lasted a little over a year!UPDATE: after about 2 weeks after submitting my case with Bushnell, they’re sticking to the 12 month warranty and will do nothing to fix the situation. I’d give it 0 stars if that was an option. Last Bushnell product I’ll ever purchase. Equates to renting for $30/month and nothing to show for it but a paperweight!**UPDATE**Bushnell customer service did the right thing and replaced my range finder. I provided pics of the old unit with serial number and such, plus a copy of the receipt. While it did take a few emails back and forth, they did replace it and also sent a label to return the faulty unit. The replacement works flawlessly as the first but hopefully lasts longer. Big price tag but still feel it is worth the price. Back to 5 stars due to Bushnell taking care of a faulty unit! Keep your paperwork just in case.

I've had numerous rangefinders over the years and this is the easiest to see out of them all. i still suck at golf but the range finder is accurate.

It is a good but not great. It relies on courses using a reflective tape or something for the laser to hit and lock on to. I am getting more use to it and see you have to scan around the pin to lock on. But if the pins are plane it may have a hard time locking. If there is nothing but blue sky behind it, it want even give you a number. I went to a course that sold bushnell products and it worked flawlessly. Overall I’m happy with it but do think if a low end “100 or less” can lock onto a pin when a 400 dollar will not, that is a issue. But accuracy and optics are with the best out there.

Love this. Easy to use.

Love the range finder. The magnet works great. It attaches to club heads, carts, and pretty much anything. The one downside I have had is on rare occasions, maybe every 20ish rounds the range finder has a terrible time finding pins. So I just take out battery and reset it. Then works great. It might also be the course I play at has the least reflective flags out there. So dunno. But overall great product. Worth the money.

Bushnell range finder was highly recommended by my golf friends and I decided to purchase this device. About after 2 months of use, it stopped working. I only play few times a month and only in nice weather so total use of the range finder was less than 10 times.I told my friend who recommended Bushnell range finder to me about the device broke within 2 months and less than 10 times of use. He told me about Bushnell has warranty of 2 years. I was very relieved to hear about it since it was not a cheap purchase.I followed the directions on the manual and send the device to Bushnell golf. Their response was fast. I got the product back within a week. But it said, it has water damage and unable to repair. That was unexpected response since I only play golf in a nice weather and when I don’t play, my device was in the case with my golf bag in my garage.I contacted their customer service regarding of their assessment. Their response was below:“It is possible that maybe you had the device in heavy fog. Or extreme temperature changes perhaps?Lets say that you had your device in a bag that you checked when taking a flight. It's freezing when it's up in the air and when you land it's extremely hot/warm, the device going from the extreme cold to hot/warm could cause condensation and water within the device.”I have explained to them I didn’t fly or my bag was never exposed to the bad weather but after the first response, I never heard back from them. But also with their response, they are admitting that their product is not good enough to use in bad weather conditions. I don’t play golf in a bad weather but people play in some bad weather and need to use their range finder. I guess Bushnell range finder is not good for that.I’m not even sure that they assessed my device. They have 2 year warranty but it does not cover it. I’m curious if anyone had an experience with their warranty and had their device repaired or get new one. I’m very disappointed with this purchase and the customer service so I won’t buy it again. Don’t get fooled by their 2 years warranty.
