Golf is better with music. The hard part is finding a speaker built for the course. Here's how ours stack up.
#1 – Sound Stick PRO
The Sound Stick PRO won Best New Product at the 2026 PGA Show, making Pinned Golf the only brand to win that award back to back.
It's a speaker and a full golf GPS in one.
The touchscreen shows front, center, and back yardages for 45,000+ courses and a live leaderboard for your group, all free. A Premium Membership unlocks green heat maps, hazard views, and advanced Pulse metrics. Party Mode syncs up to 100 speakers at once.
- Battery: 10+ hours
- Waterproofing: IPX7
- GPS: Yes, 45,000+ courses (core features free, Premium unlocks advanced views)
- Bluetooth: 5.0
- Charging: USB-C
Best for golfers who want sound, GPS, and scoring all in one.
#2 – Sound Stick
No GPS, no screen. Just great sound.
The dual driver bass system delivers rich, full-bodied audio that most speakers at this price can't match. At 15+ hours, it has the longest battery in our lineup. One charge covers multiple rounds.
- Battery: 15+ hours
- Waterproofing: IPX7
- GPS: No
- Dual Speaker Pairing: Yes
- Charging: USB-C
Best for cart riders who want the best sound without GPS.
#3 – Dart 2.0
Great sound, strong magnet, and IPX7 waterproofing at $64.99.
The N52 grade magnet keeps it locked to your cart on the bumpiest paths. A detachable carabiner clips it directly to your bag for walkers. Dual Dart Pairing links two units for stereo sound.
- Battery: 10+ hours
- Waterproofing: IPX7
- Magnet: N52 grade
- Carabiner: Yes
- Bluetooth: 5.0, 125 ft range
- Charging: USB-C
Best for walkers, grab-and-go use, or gifts under $100.
What to Look For
Magnet strength. A weak magnet comes off on cart path bumps. All three of our speakers are built for cart life.
Battery life. A round takes 4 to 5 hours. All three cover that with room to spare. The Sound Stick's 15+ hours is the most forgiving if you forget to charge.
Waterproofing. All three are IPX7 rated. Rain, dew, and splashes are not a problem.
GPS. If you want yardages and scoring without your phone, get the PRO. If you just want music, the Sound Stick or Dart 2.0 are the simpler options.
Walking vs. cart. All three mount to a cart bar. Only the Dart 2.0 has a bag clip carabiner for walkers.
The Bottom Line
The Sound Stick PRO is our most complete speaker and the best option if you want everything in one device.
The Sound Stick is the pick for pure audio and battery life.
The Dart 2.0 is the move for walkers or anyone shopping under $100.
