Respectful volume, great sound, cup holder-friendly
There’s always that one guy on the course—the one with the speaker blaring just loud enough to drown out birdsong, conversation, and the sound of your own swing thoughts. I never wanted to be him.
But I also love music on the course. A little blues or acoustic between shots, maybe a podcast on the range. Something to take the edge off a double bogey without turning the whole round into a tailgate party.
So after trying a few forgettable options, I finally found something that just works: the Bushnell Wingman View Golf Speaker. And honestly, it’s the first speaker I’ve used that feels like it was actually designed with golfers in mind.
It’s Not Just a Speaker—It’s a Golf Buddy
This thing does more than play your favorite playlists. It gives audible GPS yardages—front, center, and back—at the push of a button. It even shows the distances and music info right on the LCD screen. For someone who already forgets his glove on the third hole, not having to dig out my phone for yardages is a gift.
Respect the Game, Respect the Volume
The sound quality? Legit. 30 watts of power is plenty, but here’s the key—it sounds great at low volumes. Crisp, clean, and not overpowering. You can clip it to the cart or stick it in the cup holder and still hear it without being “that guy” three holes over.
Other Features I Didn’t Know I Needed
- Bluetooth pairing is quick and stable.
- Calls and texts show up—you can screen them without ever pulling your phone out.
- It runs a full 10 hours on a single charge, even with GPS and music both running.
- The remote is magnetic—easy to slap on the cart frame for quick yardage updates.
- It comes with a durable carrying pouch that clips right onto your bag.
Final Thoughts
I didn’t expect to love this speaker. I figured it would be another gadget that ends up in the garage bin. But after a few rounds with the Bushnell Wingman View, I can say this is one of those rare golf accessories that actually adds to the experience without taking anything away.
It’s respectful, useful, and just plain fun to have along for the ride.
And hey—if it keeps me from throwing a club, that’s a bonus.
