Golf Equipment Reviews

Critical Golf brings you unbiased golf equipment reviews, including in-depth analysis of golf GPS devices, iPhone GPS apps (as well as necessary iPhone battery packs), laser rangefinders, carry bags and golf carts.

We compare equipment across multiple criteria to present a comprehensive picture of which equipment is best, and why. Our testing staff includes players ranging from low to high handicaps to provide perspectives relevant to all golfers, regardless of ability level. If there is specific equipment that you would like to see reviewed, please let us know.

We can’t fix your game, but we can help you find the tools that can!
GPS Device

Golf GPS Devices Rankings and reviews of devices ranging from those that offer only the basic distances to those that offer video flyover of holes and even club recommendations.
Carry Bags

Carry Bags How much do they weigh? How many slots are there for your clubs? Can you fit all the gear that we’ve recommended in the pockets?
Laser Rangefinder

Laser Rangefinders Explore the differences – a variety of weights, and settings that enable you to scan across multiple points and that make pinpointing a flag easier.
Laser Rangefinder with Slope

Laser Rangefinders with Slope The more full-featured devices in this category can compute the distance you should play your shot based on the slope of the hole (and even altitude and temperature!)
Golf carts

Golf Carts We push carts around the course to tell you which to get. And yes, all will do wonders for your back.
Club Glove Last Bag

Golf Travel Bags If you’re going to travel to play, it’s in your best interest to find a bag that can take as much abuse as the airlines can (er, will) dish out.
iPhone

iPhone Golf GPS You already have an iPhone, so is that the only GPS device you need? We delve into the details, and suggest you keep an eye on battery life.
iPhone Battery Packs

iPhone Battery Packs If you’re going to use a GPS app on your iPhone, we highly recommend the purchase of a battery pack to keep you charged throughout the round.
