Rangefinders are great; however, they don’t tell you information that can definitely help, including distances to the front, middle, and back of the green. Also, knowing exact distances to hazards and layups is critical, especially when playing a new course. Having a powerful handheld GPS device is the key, and the one I’ve been using is great.
This company I have done reviews for in the past is ShotScope and they have always offered amazing products, and their new H50 GPS Handheld offers a ton of useful detailed information you can use on every hole. First, it comes with a large 4.3” AMOLED color touchscreen so everything is clear and visible. Next, it’s loaded with 42,000 courses worldwide, and it shows a view on the entire hole so you can see if there’s a dogleg or if it’s simply a straight hole.
The ShotScope H50 GPS Handheld also shows you the exact distance to the front, middle, and back of the green. And one of my favorite features is the green contour mapping, so you the faster part of every green, and when you have sloping greens this is a huge bonus that can save you strokes. The H50 also includes hot tracking and a built-in scorecard.

I have been using my ShotSCope H50 GPS Handheld on several golf courses I play regularly over the past 4+ weeks, and it is terrific. It shows the full hole before hitting your tee shot, so you know what the entire hole looks like. The layup and hazard distances are crucial to making better shot choices. I’m a huge fan of knowing the front, middle, and back distances as many of the holes I play you cannot be long or past the flag as the greens are either super sloped or so fast you will be 3-putt territory for sure. The H50 has a super strong magnet, so it stays put on the golf cart, and the screen is crystal clear and bright even in direct sunlight. ShotScope has really thought of every feature you could ask for in a handheld GPS device, and even some you may not know existed but are included in their full-featured complete H50 GPS Handheld device every golfer will love.
