| Did the survey. As far as Range Finders go, the older models are not very reliable beyond 100 yards or so. I just bought the latest Bushnell Pinseeker Range Finder (Tournament Edition, which is the USGA approved version), and it is MUCH better. It picks up the flag accurately from over 300 yards, and is great for finding yardage to bunkers, trees, etc during the round.
It is limited to line of sight, but I live in Florida where 99% of the wholes are pretty flat. In hilly terrain, you'd probably need a sky-caddie or equivalent.
