The 8 Best Golf Bluetooth Speakers of 2023

For better or worse (better), things have changed. Today, music on the golf course is not only acceptable, but it’s becoming the rule rather than the exception. So much so that some of the most reputable brands in golf technology now make sophisticated golf-specific Bluetooth speakers.

In 2023, many golf Bluetooth speakers are in their second generation, and today’s golf Bluetooth speakers truly add entertainment to your day on the golf course.

The Best Bluetooth Golf Speakers

I checked out a bunch of golf Bluetooth speakers at the 2023 PGA Show, and these are the eight best of 2023. Keep reading for complete specs and reviews of each speaker.

Choosing a Golf Bluetooth Speaker

Golf Bluetooth speakers must choose one of two lanes. They either prioritize premium sound with golf-specific features built in, or they prioritize a compact profile for the walking golfer, and tack on some nice features from there.

Golfers who usually use a cart gravitate towards the larger units built to mount directly to a cart bar. These speakers have superior sound and many feature a display in addition to some pretty cool golf-specific features.

More compact speakers entice golfers to clip them to their golf bag, and may sacrifice some sound quality for a carryable size.

Golf Bluetooth Speaker Features

Before you can pick which golf Bluetooth speaker is best for you, we recommend deciding which features are most important to you.

Here is a list of some of the most common features in today’s golf Bluetooth speakers, and which types of golfers they benefit. Once you prioritize what features are important to you and decide your budget, the best golf Bluetooth speaker for you should become pretty obvious.

Blue Tees Player+

Of the handful of features that a golf Bluetooth speaker can offer, the Blue Tees Player+ seemingly has them all, which is why we tabbed it the best golf Bluetooth speaker of 2023.

Blue Tees Player+ Specs, Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Glass touchscreen display with hole layout distances to front, center and back, last shot distance, distances to hazards, and music controls
• Magnetic cart mount
• 4 speakers, 360-degree sound
• Dual pairing
• Built-in power bank to charge your phone
• Seal on charge port protects from rain/water damage

Cons:

• $200 is the top of the golf Bluetooth speaker price spectrum
• Walkers may want to consider a more compact speaker

Blue Tees Player+ Review

The Player+ is the only golf Bluetooth speaker that offers a glass touchscreen display. Swipe through the screen for hole layout, distances to front, center, and back of the green, distances to hazards, drive distance, and control your music.

From a sound standpoint, the Player+ is once again at the top of the class. With four speakers inside, including subs on the top and bottom and a speaker on each side, the Player+ gives you premium, 360-degree sound.

“Number one, while it is a GPS speaker, it is a speaker first and foremost,” Blue Tees co-founder Drew Koehler told GolfLink. “If we’re on the golf course, if we’re listening to music, we want it to sound good.” 

The Player+ carries over some standout features from the original Blue Tees Player speaker, like the magnetic cart mount, premium sound, and sleek styling. The Player+ will be available in May 2023, and Koehler said battery life is around 10 hours.

While we can’t really find anything we don’t like about the Player+, there are a couple things to look out for. Given all the features and the competition, the $200 price tag is easily justified, but if you’re on a budget and are willing to sacrifice some features, there are more affordable speakers out there.

Secondly, golfers who prefer to walk and want the most portable speaker may want to consider a more compact speaker with a built-in clip to attach to your golf bag. You can get a magnetic attachment to mount the Player+ to your golf bag, but it’s still bulkier than some of the competition.

Available May 2023

Bushnell Wingman

The Bushnell Wingman is one of the most popular golf Bluetooth speakers, and for good reason. It features a detachable remote, which gives you audible distances with the push of a button, even if the speaker is half a fairway away.

Bushnell Wingman Specs, Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Audible distances to front, center, and back
• Detachable remote for audible distances
• Magnetic cart mount
• Premium sound quality

Cons:

• No display

Bushnell Wingman Review

Another great golf Bluetooth speaker for your cart, the Bushnell Wingman locks snugly to the cart bar with its magnetic strip. The speaker itself provides premium sound quality and 10 hours of battery life, which should be more than enough to get you through two rounds of golf. On top of that, the Wingman has a USB port, allowing you to charge your other devices.

Like the Player+, the Wingman is best for golfers who typically use a cart. Its larger profile delivers great sound, but doesn’t do much for walkers who want to lighten their load as much as possible.

At around $150, the Wingman is a great value all the way around.

TecTecTec Team8 S

The TecTecTec Team8 S is the only speaker on this list that you can actually just stick in your pocket while you play golf, making it one of the best golf Bluetooth speakers for walkers. If you want the best sound from the most compact GPS golf Bluetooth speaker, the TecTecTec Team8 S is it.

TecTecTec Team8 S Specs, Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Audible GPS distances to front, center, and back of the green; end of the fairway
• Compact design 
• Audio designed for personal use
• Includes clip to attach to golf bag, ideal for walkers
• Measure shot distances
• Belt clip makes it wearable
• Surprisingly unnoticeable when clipped on belt
• 3 color options (black, gray, yellow)

Cons:

• Competing with some more robust speakers at the $100 price point
• Sound is good but not great

TecTecTec Team8 S Review

The TecTecTec Team8 S is not much bigger than a golf ball, and whether you drop it in your pocket in place of that second spare ball, or use the magnetic clip to stick it to your belt, you truly won’t notice it on you while you play. You can also use the magnetic mount to clip it to your golf bag, or the loop to hang it next to your towel.

Besides being the only golf Bluetooth speaker you can keep on your person during a round of golf, the Team8 S gives audible GPS distances and can even track the distance of your last shot with the push of a button.

For its size, the Team8 S turns out high-quality sound, but it wouldn’t be a fair comparison to put it in the same class as a Bushnell Wingman or Blue Tees Player.

Battery life on the Team8 S is up to eight hours with normal usage, or a little less if you take full advantage of the GPS features and crank the volume up.

I prefer to walk when I play golf, so I love the Team8’s lightweight, compact design that you can stick in your pocket, on your belt, or mount to your bag without it dangling and bouncing around. But not every golfer has those same priorities, and at the $100 price point, the Team8 has some stiff competition in the Bushnell Wingman Mini (for walkers) and the Precision Pro Ace (for all golfers).

Blue Tees Player

The precursor to the Player+, the Player was Blue Tees’ debut golf Bluetooth speaker and won over golfers with an array of endearing features at an attractive price.

Blue Tees Player Specs, Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Dual pairing (pair multiple speakers)
• 360-degree sound with subs on both sides of the speaker
• Magnetic cart mount
• Great value at around $130
• Built-in power bank to charge your phone

Cons:

• No screen
• Not made for walkers
• No charging block included
• No GPS yardages

Blue Tees Player Review

While the Player is a Bluetooth speaker built specifically for the golf course, it stops short of providing GPS distances, and well short of a touchscreen display that shows hole layout and distances, but it’s still got some great features at a great price.

The magnetic cart mount and power bank make the Player great for the golf course, and the ability to pair two Players eliminates the awkward dueling speakers situation. The Player packs a powerful punch with, 360-degree premium sound, all for around $130.

Bushnell Wingman View

The Bushnell Wingman gets an upgrade starting in April 2023 with the Wingman View. The View adds a few fun features to the already popular golf Bluetooth speaker, including and LCD display with GPS distances.

Bushnell Wingman View Specs, Pros & Cons

Pros:

• LCD display with hole number, and distances to front, center and back
• Removable magnetic remote to provide distances and control music
• 1st tee introductions
• Built-in microphone allows you to take calls through the speaker
• Magnetic cart mount
• 360 degree sound

Cons:

• LCD display is not a touchscreen
• Top end price point at $200
• Not ideal for walkers

Bushnell Wingman View Review

The Bushnell Wingman View gives the Blue Tees Player+ a run for its money for best overall golf Bluetooth speaker. The View boasts an LCD screen with GPS distances to go along with premium sound and a long-lasting battery. 

Like the original Wingman, the Wingman View offers a detachable remote so golfers can get audible GPS distances with the push of a button, even when they aren’t within reach of the speaker. The View also has first tee introductions, a cool feature to set the tone for a fun day on the course with your favorite music and playing partners.

The large magnetic strip is a dead giveaway that the Wingman View is made for riders. This speaker is built to give premium sound with some cool golf features. It’s not made for golfers looking to lighten their load for an 18-hole walk.

Available April 2023

Precision Pro Ace

The Precision Pro Ace is the only golf Bluetooth speaker with a magnetic cart mount and a visual display at the $100 price point, which is why we tabbed it the best value golf Bluetooth speaker of 2023.

Precision Pro Ace Specs, Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Display with front, center and back distances
• Magnetic grip to mount on golf cart
• Best value Bluetooth Golf speaker at $100
• Four color options (black, red, gray, black & white)
• 20+ hours of battery life

Cons:

• One-directional speaker
• Not ideal for walkers

Precision Pro Ace Review

The Precision Pro Ace packs more features into a $100 golf Bluetooth speaker than any of its competitors. With a magnetic cart mount, GPS yardages, and 20 hours of battery life, there’s no better value golf Bluetooth speaker in 2023. While the Ace doesn’t offer the same four-speaker sound or the touchscreen display as the Player+, at half the cost, it still kicks and gives double the battery life. It’s up to you to decide if the tradeoffs are worth it.

As another speaker designed to be mounted to the cart, the Ace isn’t the first choice of the walking golfer, but any value shopper should give it a good hard look.

Bushnell Wingman Mini

We’ve tabbed the Bushnell Wingman Mini as the best golf Bluetooth speaker for walkers. The Wingman Mini combines quality sound with some great golf functionality in a carryable size and an accessible price point. But don’t get us wrong, the Wingman Mini is also a great speaker for golfers who use a cart, or do some of both.

Bushnell Wingman Mini Specs, Pros & Cons

Pros:

• 1st tee introductions
• Audible distances to front, center and back of green
• Built-in microphone allows you to take calls through the speaker
• Strong competitor at the $100 price point
• Easily clips to golf bag, providing walkers a convenient option
• 2 color options (black & white, white & orange)
• Magnetic cart mount and clippable loop make it great for walkers and riders

Cons:

• No display
• No remote

Bushnell Wingman Mini Review

The Bushnell Wingman Mini is the best golf Bluetooth speaker for walkers, and it’s also the most well-rounded golf Bluetooth speaker. We love that it has a strong magnet and a loop, allowing you to easily mount it to your cart or clip it to your bag. A little larger than the TecTecTec Team8 S, you won’t stick it in your pocket, but you can expect slightly better sound from the Wingman Mini, a tradeoff we suspect many golfers would be happy to make.

The Wingman Mini also features audible first tee introductions and GPS distances, and offers 10+ hours of battery life. Finally, the Wingman Mini has a built-in microphone, allowing you to take calls on the golf course, in case you need to alert the home front that you’ll be taking advantage of the replay rate.

Pinned Dart

While every other speaker on our list of the best golf Bluetooth speakers checks in at around $100 or more, the Pinned Dart comes in at half the price, around just $50. That makes it the most affordable golf Bluetooth speaker of 2023.

Pinned Dart Specs, Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Most affordable Bluetooth golf speaker
• Two color options
• Magnetic cart mount
• Built-in microphone
• Weather-resistant

Cons:

• Does not give distances
• 5-hour battery life gets you through a full round of golf, but not much more
• No loop or clip to attach to golf bag

Pinned Dart Review

If you’re looking for an entry-level golf Bluetooth speaker, check out the Pinned Dart. It offers a magnetic cart mount and 5+ hours of battery life. Slap it on the cart bar on the first tee and enjoy music throughout your entire round.

However, that’s pretty much where the golf-specific features end. Despite being smaller in size, the Dart doesn’t feature a loop, which would be convenient for clipping it to your golf bag. It also doesn’t give GPS yardages or have a display, it’s just a straightforward, affordable speaker that mounts to your cart and gets you through a round of golf. It does have a built-in microphone and is available in red or black.
