Our Verdict

The Garmin Approach G30 is a top-tier handheld GPS device that punches well above its weight in both size and performance. For golfers who value speed and accuracy without adding bulk to their setup, this model is hard to beat. The compact form is ideal for slipping into a pocket or clipping to your bag, yet it’s still equipped with a vivid 2.3-inch colour touchscreen that’s easy to see—even under direct sunlight.

What truly sets the G30 apart is its combination of speed and depth. The high-sensitivity GPS locks onto satellites rapidly, meaning your distances appear almost instantly—no waiting, no lag. Distances to the front, middle and back of the green are displayed clearly, but it doesn’t stop there. You also get precise readings for doglegs, bunkers, water hazards, and more. If you want to focus on a specific point, just tap it on the map using the Touch Targeting feature. The device will show the exact yardage, allowing for smarter club selection and better shot planning.

Another huge plus is the Green View feature, which allows you to manually move the pin placement to match the day’s layout—something that makes a big difference when precision counts. And for players who like to track performance, you can record scores, total distance played, and round duration, then sync your data via Garmin Express for review later.

This GPS is also Bluetooth enabled and integrates with the Garmin Golf app, giving you added functionality without any complexity. Whether you’re playing at home or abroad, you’ll have access to more than 40,000 courses from around the world with free updates. It’s a great tool for lowering your score and building confidence with every round.
