Costco has the Bushnell Golf Pro X3 Rangefinder for $479.99. Normal price of this is $599.99.

Just note that when you get the item shipped, there's a sticker on the product box:

"This item is covered by Costco's guarantee to refund your purchase price if you are not completely satisfied. Costco's guarantee applies, even though this item may not be covered by manufacturer's warranty, because Costco is not an authorized dealer of the merchandise."

Obviously, there are a lot of rangefinders out there but if you're in the market already for a Bushnell - here's your deal.

Thumbs up for golf deal although I really can't wrap my head around paying this for a rangefinder. My $60 one seems to give me every possible yardage I need, what am I missing out on?

I came to ask this same question. What makes a rangefinder worth that premium?

100% agree. There are MUCH cheaper options that do the exact same thing.

You'll pay more for the slope option which I have to have living in the mountains of NC. I bought this one earlier this year and it's been fantastic. I've played about once/week and haven't replaced the battery yet.

I bought the original Bushnell rangefinder in 2001 for about $150 and have use it since. It has a 7x magnification and selectable slope function. It is horizontal like a binocular. As far as I can determine it does exactly the this $500 unit does with the same 1 yard quoted accuracy. When I lost my original rangefinder about 5 years ago I tried a new one but after using it for two weeks returned it a got another original Bushnell on Ebay for $50.

In addition to slope, the X3 also takes in account for temperature, and barometric pressure which will affect yardage. When you play in the morning, it's colder which means the ball doesn't travel as far. This is also why most players have the illusion of "I play better on the back 9." Sorry Johnny, you still suck, but the temperature, and barometric pressure are in your favor.

The lens, and pin finder on this device are far superior than what i've used on the market. Most range finders, you would need to shoot the flag like 5 times before you can be confident on the distance. The clarity on this lens is awesome, especially at 7x magnification. Keep in mind that most range finders are at 6x magnification.

That being said, the VAST majority of people will not need this. A simple rangefinder, with slope will give you 80% of what you need. The last 20% is pretty much getting to the practice range early so you can figure out how far your ball is going before the first tee box.

For the minority of people who are considering this. This is mainly if your swing is pretty dialed in, and you're making serious attempts at lowering your score 1 or 2 strokes to becoming a scratch golfer. The 7x magnification and clarity on this lens makes it easy to calculate yardages on bunkers, trees, etc. when making your approach, especially at 200yds+

If you got money to burn, then this is the best rangefinder you can buy on the market.
