Arccos Groundbreaking Arccos Smart Laser Rangefinder
Arccos has announced the launch of the Arccos Smart Laser Rangefinder, the first AI-powered laser in golf.
Shipping from late October, the new device delivers the most advanced “plays like” distances ever seen in the sport, adjusting instantly for wind speed and gusts, slope, temperature, humidity, and altitude.
With precise mapping for more than 40,000 courses worldwide, the system promises unparalleled accuracy for golfers looking to make smarter decisions on the course.
Arccos Launches World’s First AI-Powered Rangefinder
Unlike traditional lasers, which simply display yardage to a target, the Arccos Smart Laser uses AI to generate real-time adjusted distances.
The technology merges local weather data with GPS positioning and Arccos’ extensive mapping library to provide golfers with the “Arccos Number” — a single, trusted figure that accounts for playing conditions.
Sal Syed, CEO and Co-Founder of Arccos, explained:
“Traditional rangefinders haven’t evolved in a decade. We built the Arccos Smart Laser as an AI-powered, software-driven device that connects to your game and keeps getting better. It turns complex conditions into a single trusted number.”
For players in tournament play, the device includes a competition-legal mode that disables environmental adjustments, ensuring compliance with the Rules of Golf while still delivering GPS distances.
Advanced Features Built Around AI and Software
The Arccos Smart Laser Rangefinder is built as much around software as hardware. Key capabilities include:
- AI-powered “plays like” distances – accounts for wind (including gusts), slope, temperature, humidity, and altitude.
- Global mapping – coverage of 40,000+ courses with precise GPS awareness.
- Automatic pin setting – instantly records pin positions in the Arccos app, enhancing strokes gained analytics and saving time.
- Automatic software updates – continuous improvements with new features and enhanced algorithms.
Dave LeDonne, VP of Product at Arccos, added:
“The Arccos Smart Laser turns complicated physics into a single, trusted decision input. You get the most accurate number available, and the confidence that comes with that, without changing your pre-shot routine.”
Pricing, Availability, and Integration with Arccos Game Tracking
The Arccos Smart Laser Rangefinder is priced at $299.99 / £231 and includes a one-year Smart Laser subscription (renewing at $16.67 / £12.85 per month, billed annually).
A launch bundle priced at $449.99 / £346.50 includes the Smart Laser, Arccos SmartSensors, and one year of both the Game Tracking and Smart Laser subscriptions.

Trusted by professionals such as Matt Fitzpatrick and Edoardo Molinari, and already used across more than 25 million rounds and 1.3 billion tracked shots, Arccos’ platform is widely recognised as golf’s #1 game tracker.
With the launch of the Smart Laser, the company is bringing AI deeper into the golfer’s bag, offering unprecedented precision and confidence on every shot.
