I wasn't too sure about whether to buy a GPS or a laser rangefinder. Both have pros and cons, but I'm glad I chose to go with the Bushnell Yardage Pro Pinseeker 1500 Slope Edition.

I have a buddy that has a Sky Caddie GPS and it seems to work fine. However, often the battery runs down and about half way through the round, we're out of luck. When we first used my Bushnell, he was asking me for precise measurements. It's nice to know exactly what club I should pull.

It does take a little getting use to though. You have to make sure your hand is steady and that you're hitting the target you're shooting. Other than that, which really isn't a big deal, it's great! I look forward to many happy rounds with my personal caddie.

I bought this for my husband who is an avid golfer to replace an much older version. We were amazed at how well the 1500 picks up the flag and cuts out the background. He is not real steady, but that doesn't seem to matter. He is thrilled with this product and prefers it over the Sky Caddie.

I find this product to be very good. Somewhat hard to hold steady on the flag unless using the golf cart for support thus causing misreads on occasion. When held steady it is right on every time. I find the slope feature to be very helpful especially when visiting unfamiliar courses.

The finder is more bulky and heavy than some of the other range finders but I don't find that to be a problem.

I would recommend this item as a purchase.

I bought this Bushnell Yardage Pro Golf Pinseeker 1500 Slope Edition Laser Rangefinder with Slope Calculator about a month ago. I enjoy using it. If you are good consistent golfer it can be very handy to accurately know the distance to your target. The slope calculator is a real plus in that it allows you to know how to compensate your play due to the degree of slope between you and the target. Although not impossible, I have found that I have trouble holding the Rangefinder steady while I aim it at the target location. I would recommend getting some sort of tripod, monopod, or clip on camera mount so that you can attach the Rangefinder to a stable surface such as your golf cart to enable you to easily get an accurate reading of the distance to your target. I purchased Sunpak ClampPod Pro Clamping Tripod from Amazon and it works well to attach the Rangefinder to my pull-cart.
Overall I like this item. It is easy to use and lightweight. It is a little pricey, buy hey, no one said golf is cheap.

Excellent product, but does require a steady hand at more than 125 yards from the flag due to 7 power optics. Have verified the distances shown using friends GPS units and found that it is most accurate.
