Benefits and Features

USGA Compliant

Complies with USGA Local Rule 14-3 for tournament play

The Little Tool that Packs a Powerful Punch

Unprecedented Size

At just 4.4 ounces, the COOLSHOT 20 is also the most compact model in the Nikon Golf line. Even though this rangefinder is unbelievably small, it delivers big on precision. This easy to use tool can fit comfortably in any pocket or golf bag so there's no excuse for not using it on every shot.

The Easy Way to Find Forgiveness on the Course

COOLSHOT 20 displays precise distance to the flagstick, but is just as useful for getting distances to hazards, trees, mounds and other objects on the course. See your best shot option from a player's perspective and get on the straight path to a faster, sweeter approach--the right approach.

View larger	View larger	View larger	View larger
8-Second Continous Scanning Push the Power button and the rangefinder will continuously range for eight seconds. This is great when trying to find measurements of multiple or very small or thin objects, allowing you to know the distances to hazards, pins, mounds, and trees in a push of the button.	First Target Priority Mode With this revolutionary technology, the COOLSHOT 20 will give you the distance reading of the closest targeted object amongst a group of objects. This is extremely beneficial when ranging a flagstick in front of a group of trees.	Weatherproof The materials and technology used in the COOLSHOT 20 will allow for continued use during inclement weather. Having a wide temperature tolerance and being rainproof, there is no need to put this rangefinder away when the weather turns poor.	Versatile Tool The COOLSHOT 20 rangefinder can range any object within sight. This includes hills, doglegs, trees, bunkers, lakes, golf carts, and eventually the flagstick. No need for satellites or reflectors to find a distance to any desired object.

View larger	View larger	View larger
Tee Shot with Dogleg Corner A dogleg corner makes guessing distance difficult. Measure the distance to a tree in front of the corner then the distance to the woods to get the distance to the center of the fairway. Now you can swing without hesitation.	Second Shot with a Hazard With a bunker or pond in front of the green, measure the distance to the edge of the green and the distance to the hazard to play it safe.	Approach Shot On the approach, use COOLSHOT to measure points such as front or back of green, bunkers and the flagstick itself to determine the right approach on every hole. COOLSHOT's 6x optical monocular helps you see what's ahead before you swing.

Couldn't get any better!

June 18, 2015

Style Name: Standard (Single Battery)

After much hesitation, I pulled the trigger on buying this rangefinder. Skeptical of the low price tag at first, I thought surely it was too good to be true. When finding it on sale for about $30 off the original price, I thought it was worth a shot. So glad I bought this. I previously had another high name brand rangefinder that quite working after a few years. This unit is in every way comparable. The clarity is unmistakably clearer than most other brand rangefinders. It is lighter, and picks up on any flag I've ever attempted to reach. Important to me, it also easily reads bunker distances, water hazards, etc. Last time out on the course, I dribbled a tee shot, I shot the distance to the pin, 256 yards and it picked it up very fast and as clear as day. If you were like me and hesitant to buy this because of a "too good to be true" mentality because of the low price, buy this thing. I couldn't imagine being more satisfied.

For $99, an absolute super bargain. For me, it's a game improvement item.

October 29, 2017

Style Name: Standard (Single Battery)Verified Purchase

I paid the unthinkably low sum of $99.00 for the Coolshot 20 on what was apparently a 2 day sale on Amazon. I actually never thought I needed a rangefinder and actually had no interest in buying one, but when I saw this at $100 lower than it's usual $199 selling price, I decided to get one just to mess around with it.

All of these years, I've used the onboard golf cart GPS which is offered by all the courses I play. When I began exclusively walking, I bought a Garmin GPS watch which gave me the same functionality of the golf cart GPS. But now that I own a rangefinder, I have found that it has a positive impact to my game, I can quickly scope trees, hazards, distances to 100, 150, and 200 yard markers, and it has strategically changed how I play. I'm playing a lot more target golf and laying up so I can use my most accurate clubs for an approach shot. For me, I'd rather play a full swing high wedge shot instead of a bump and run, so for me, I'd rather be 80-100 yards instead of 40-70 yards. My pin accuracy has improved since I started using the Coolshot 20.

As for the specifics of the Coolshot 20, I've never used any other rangefinder, so I don't have any basis for comparison. The viewfinder is bright and clear and the cross hairs makes it easy to scope a target within seconds. I have no problems scoping anything within 200 yards. Anything over 200 yards can be a little difficult to scope, but combined with readings from my GPS watch, I can quickly filter out the false readings of landmarks behind the green. The Coolshot 20 is really small, it fits in a pocket, it's easy to operate with one hand. It looks to be very well made and should stand the test of time, and most importantly, it's a Nikon as opposed to these unknown Chinese brands offered at the same price point. From my understanding, this is a very rudimentary rangefinder with no bells and whistles offered by the more expensive rangefinders, but it works great for me.

I really can't speak to its value at its normal sales price of $199. But at $99, it's an absolute must buy for any serious golfer who wants a rangefinder. .

Picks up flag super easy and accurate

April 7, 2018

Style Name: Bonus Kit (Two Batteries)Verified Purchase

Love this range finder. It picks up the flag easy. No worries about your partners waiting for you to range the flag. A quick click and you have your distance everytime. It will pick up a flag very easy.. farther out than any of us can hit a fairway wood, longest I recall picking up a flag was roughly 280 yrds. I'm sure it will pick up farther, there's just no need, I can't hit a fairway wood over 300 yards. I even use it on my drives to range back to the tee box, great for letting you know exactly how far your driving. Automatically turns off quickly for battery life. Play almost every weekend, had it for roughly 6 months, and batteries are still good. Small and compact, attaches to my bag easliy. Good buy, if your thinking about it, do it, you'll be happy with it.

I use this more on the driving range than course; but it works quickly and fairly accurately...really small and light-weight. you have to have a pretty steady hand, in my opinion, because of the size. Nice carrying case with cord. Fits in any pocket or golf bag...so far, I like it. Easy to read; comes with battery too. Viewed a number of videos and reviews on range finders and the consensus on Nikon seemed to show this model to be one of the better models.

Get this laser rangefinder

August 19, 2017

Style Name: Standard (Single Battery)Verified Purchase

I wanted a laser rangefinder but didn't want to spend $400 like my golf buddy did. I went ahead and first bought another model for $200 and it gave bogus readings more than half the time, i.e. the display read 6.8 yards when the flags were 50-200 yards away. I returned it and was losing hope in finding a decent rangefinder for under $200 when I decided to order the Nikon Cool Shot 20. Well, let me tell you, I could not be happier. The Nikon is compact, extremely accurate when compared to my buddy's $400 model and it couldn't be easier to use. It is just what I was looking for. If you want a laser rangefinder, it makes no sense to spend more money on a more expensive model.

Lowered my score today!

March 17, 2018

Style Name: Bonus Kit (Two Batteries)Verified Purchase

ReceIved this on time as ordered. Tried it today on the course and was extremely impressed. Took a couple time to be comfortable with the yardage’s it displayed and feel it it right on the mark. Our club has gps on the carts so I had a round idea but this actually helped my score today. I always seemed to over compensate but now I dialed it the correct club. Wish I hadn’t waited so long to get.

Style Name: Standard (Single Battery)Verified Purchase

anyone who can't get a reading from this thing is probably just not smart or had too much coffee and is a bit shaky. nikon in my opinion is the best with golf rangefinders. cheap, durable, good optics, batteries last long, and accurate.
i have purchased and owned a bunch (golf coach) and my only complaint about this one is that it is so small/light im wondering if it will hold up like my older nikons did that came in a neoprene case

Works great, saves $$

March 4, 2016

Style Name: Standard (Single Battery)Verified Purchase

I almost bought the Bushnell Patriot, saw the Coolshot, which had excellent reviews, and decided to save $100 to put towards a new wedge. Glad I did, The Nikon does everything I need it to, is dependable, extremely easy to use, and is small enough to keep in my pocket or store easily in my bag or cart. Very happy with it. Like my new wedge, too.
