Just want something that will pick up pins reliably and maybe a fairway bunker. Not looking to spend $200-$300. Looking for something around $100-$150.

That would be ideal..........but rarely do I find myself in the fairway.

I bet a rangefinder called TecTecTec for around $100. I do not recommend. It's cheap for a reason.

That's the one I have. It's awful in my opinion.

Mggolf has a couple starting at 100. Plenty of reviews on other forums.

What's so bad about it? I've used it next to a top of the line bushnell for 3 rounds and it was a yard different every time. That 3 feet isn't gonna make a shite with my game. Sure it doesn't give you slope or vibrate when it locks on to the pin but for the $100 I spent it works very well

I stopped using it now and using my friend's bushnell when he plays. I'm probably getting a bushnell too and just biting the bullett and spending the $300+.

The TecTecTec one now completely misreads it. The numbers are all messed up (it'll look like an 8, when it's a 3), etc. maybe it got wet at some point, but you would hope it's more durable than that

I have an older model bushnell that goes on ebay for cheap. If youre rarely in the FW than you dont need all the fancy stuff the newer ones have. mine works fine for rough estimates. Tested with a buddy's Pinseeker 4 or whatever the latest and greatest is and mine was consistently a yard +/-

Sky Caddie Aire II is about $125 and gives you front back and middle. Very light weight, easy to use.

I've got this one. It seems hit or miss on how it's going to perform each time. Some days it works like a charm, other days it seems I either can't get it to scan the flag or it gives me bad numbers. Seems like it it's a little long sometimes on the yardage.

I got this BUSHNELL GPS WATCH at a golf tournament earlier this spring.
It retails for $149 and So far it has been great.
It gives you the front, middle, and back locations. Depending on where the flag is I just add or subtract as needed.
Been within 2-3 yards of guys with range finders since I've been using it.
