Garmin is one of the leading names in golf GPS technology, producing an advanced collection of GPS golf watches, handheld devices, laser rangefinders and launch monitors. The 2026 Garmin Golf range includes the flagship Garmin Approach S72, the compact Approach S44 and S50 watches, the easy-to-use Approach S12, the Approach G20 Solar handheld GPS and the connected Approach Z10 and Z30 laser rangefinders.
Garmin also helps golfers improve away from the course with the portable Garmin Approach R10 Launch Monitor. Whether you need straightforward yardages, detailed course mapping, precise laser measurements or comprehensive shot data, Garmin offers technology for golfers of every ability.
The Garmin Approach S72 is Garmin's most advanced GPS golf smartwatch. Available in 43mm and 47mm sizes, it combines a bright AMOLED touchscreen with premium materials, advanced golf analysis and extensive everyday health and fitness features.
More than 43,000 full-colour CourseView golf course maps are preloaded, while golf features include PlaysLike Distance, Virtual Caddie, Green View, Hazard View, PinPointer and on-watch scoring. The S72 also introduces detailed swing metrics, a dedicated driving-range activity, golf biometric information and advanced putting analysis.
A lightweight titanium bezel, scratch-resistant sapphire crystal lens and comfortable fabric strap create a premium design suitable for the golf course and everyday use. The 47mm model provides up to 16 days of battery life in smartwatch mode and up to 20 hours in golf activity mode.
The Garmin Approach S44 provides essential golf information through a bright colour AMOLED display. It is an excellent choice for golfers who want accurate course distances, hazard information and smart connectivity in a slim, easy-to-wear design.
The Garmin Approach S50 adds enhanced health and fitness functionality for golfers who want a watch that can support their game and active lifestyle. It combines detailed golf features with heart-rate monitoring, activity profiles and broader wellness insights.
The Garmin Approach S12 offers straightforward and dependable GPS yardages in a simple watch format. Its sunlight-readable display provides distances to the front, middle and back of the green alongside hazard and dogleg information.
With long battery life and thousands of preloaded courses, the Approach S12 is well suited to golfers who want accurate distance information without the additional complexity of a premium smartwatch.
New for 2026, the compact Garmin Approach Z10 Golf Laser Rangefinder provides fast distance measurements to the flag from up to 350 yards away. Six-times magnification helps identify the target clearly, while visual and vibration feedback confirms when the flag has been located.
PlaysLike Distance adjusts measurements for uphill and downhill shots, while Tournament Mode can be enabled for competition-compliant play. When paired with a compatible Garmin golf watch or handheld device, Range Relay sends the measured distance directly to the connected display.
The Garmin Approach Z30 combines precise laser ranging with connected Garmin Golf functionality. Range Relay technology communicates measured distances to a compatible Garmin device, allowing the laser reading and GPS-calculated front and back distances to be viewed together.
This connected approach provides additional context when selecting a club and planning the shot ahead, particularly when the flag position alone does not reveal the full depth of the green.
The Garmin Approach G20 Solar is a compact handheld golf GPS designed to provide essential course information without requiring a watch to be worn.
Solar charging technology supports extended use, while its clear display provides distances and course information throughout the round. The portable design can be carried in a pocket, clipped to a golf bag or positioned where it remains easy to view.
The Garmin Approach G80 combines full-colour GPS course mapping with an integrated launch monitor. This versatile handheld device provides detailed on-course information and can also measure useful shot data during practice sessions.
Warm-up and practice modes help golfers monitor their performance before playing, making the G80 a practical option for golfers who want course navigation and training assistance within one portable device.
The Garmin Approach R10 brings detailed launch-monitor information to the driving range, practice ground or home-golf setup.
When paired with the Garmin Golf app, the portable device records important shot and club information to help golfers understand ball flight, evaluate swing changes and make practice sessions more productive.
Garmin golf GPS devices use detailed course mapping and satellite positioning to provide accurate distances to greens, hazards, doglegs and lay-up points.
Advanced models can also calculate PlaysLike Distance by adjusting yardages for elevation changes. When connected to a compatible smartphone, selected devices can consider environmental information such as wind, temperature and air pressure.
Selected Garmin golf watches and GPS devices include more than 43,000 preloaded golf courses from around the world. This extensive coverage allows golfers to access course maps and essential yardages without manually downloading each course before playing.
Course updates and additional performance information can be managed through the Garmin Golf app, helping compatible devices remain connected to Garmin's wider golf ecosystem.
Selected Garmin Approach watches provide much more than golf distances. Depending on the model, features can include wrist-based heart-rate monitoring, Body Battery energy tracking, sleep analysis, stress monitoring, activity profiles, smart notifications, music storage and Garmin Pay.
This multi-purpose functionality allows golfers to monitor their game, fitness and everyday activity through one convenient wearable device.
Garmin golf devices are created for regular outdoor use, with water-resistant designs, durable construction and battery performance suited to complete rounds.
From an easy-to-use GPS watch to a premium golf smartwatch, connected laser rangefinder or portable launch monitor, Garmin offers dependable technology that can help golfers plan shots more effectively and understand their performance in greater detail.
