Groove Tube is worth every penny!
I have this one and it’s fucking awesome, even has slope and picks up the distance in 2 seconds.
1 battery has lasted me 2 seasons with no low battery either.

I bought this on prime day and works like a charm. Within your price point as well.
One thing you could consider is a golf net. You can do a lot of specific form work with just a camera and a net set up on a bit of concrete/grass/asphalt somewhere, and it takes way less space.
The tectectec on Amazon has worked very well for me for multiple years. It’s $150. I got it on sale at some point for $125. It is within a yard or my friends $400 Bushnell.

I got this one on amazon on sale for $125. My friends have $400 bushnells and mine is within a yard of theirs every time.
Here's a budget rangefinder. Wosports 800 yard with slope. Normal 'sale' price is about $95. Currently at $87. You can turn the slope function off. Reviews are mixed but mine and my buddy's have worked fine.
I got this Wosports rangefinder on Prime Day, it works great, it's accurate, and I really like it!

I bought this one expecting it to be junk, but it’s as accurate as my friends who spent almost $300.
They can get out of control with prices but I found a killer one that I’ve put up against my buddies Bushnell and it’s within a yard. I just pulled it up and it’s on sale now too...I paid $150 or something and now it’s $80 WITH slope.

I hear what everyone is saying, I’ll counter a little and say get whatever is gonna get you out there the quickest. Unless you’re worried about others opinions, the bag and extra clubs alone probably worth it. You’re not gonna find a new bag for much cheaper than 100-120$. If you’re lucky you might find a used one/used set that comes with one, but that alone eats into a chunk of your funds. You’re basically left with 100$ to fill the rest of your kit out vs what you’d get with the set.
This gets you out there and let’s you keep an eye on the used market to slowly replace clubs in the bag. Then you sell those off on Facebook for like 75$-125$ and you’ve given yourself the luxury of having a set to play immediately and allowed yourself time to make good used purchases. Just my opinion
Oh: or get something like this strata set which is Callaway’s budget set if not sold on top flite Callaway Golf Men's Strata Complete Set https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07H2HQJR5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glc_fabc_XQq8FbT4HNV74?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Get the PuttOut putt trainer.
I love mine and have gotten three as gifts for different golfers.
It's just a well-designed putt returner that gives realistic feedback. It's small and compact, so you can just plot it down wherever and get some practice in. I usually take it with me when I travel.
$33 on amazon. IIRC they used to be more like $25-$28, so maybe shop around?

This one worked great for me all summer, I got one for my father last Father’s Day and it worked great so then I bought myself one.
ATM, not on sale. I have been keeping an eye on them. I'd say it's a great deal if they go under $85 soon. More budget than quality. A friend swears by his.

I was checking out some sets on Amazon and some of them go for $200-400.
Example. It has great reviews but I'm aware getting a good set shouldn't be inexpensive, and this feels like these clubs might fall apart on me. I hate to pick your brain here, but what do you think of those? For a beginner, how much should I be looking to spend for a complete set? I want a set that'll last until I'm ready to upgrade.
Just spend 100 bucks and buy this. Got my father one for Father’s Day and it’s worked great so far.
Also, the US Handicap app is good too (not free, but it’s like 30 bucks a year and you can enter in hole by hole and they give you your handicap.)

I started playing golf in July. I bought Callaway Strata new clubs on Amazon, and they are fantastic. No complaints, and seem like a great value deal! Good luck! http://www.amazon.com/Callaway-Mens-Strata-12-Piece-Right/dp/B00Q8I1BX8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1441067992&sr=8-2&keywords=strata+callaway&pebp=1441067995739&perid=02NF6X60E5Z3WG6P9K3G
I see this one posted a fair amount of times on this subreddit. Very reasonable price as well
This golf brush is pretty nice, but only useful if you don't play on courses with carts that have club washers:
A little more expensive but this one works great: https://www.amazon.com/Wosports-Rangefinder-Flag-Lock-Distance-Measurement/dp/B07F33HVL7/ref=sxin_21_pa_sp_phone_search_thematic_sspa?content-id=amzn1.sym.aaa14246-cb9a-48fe-9b87-d2d824625dd0%3Aamzn1.sym.aaa14246-cb9a-48fe-9b87-d2d824625dd0&cr...
$118 off Amazongo pro hitting net
I have been using this one for over a year, always within a yard or two of my buddies high end ones.
The Gogogo range finder is on sale.

I'll be grabbing one later today
Just get one of these with a hefty retractable cord

Learned about it from this reddit.... seriously the best thing ever
I've got this one and it works great for driving practice, and as a backstop when I'm putting.
this is what i have i like it works pretty good the last 6 years
