Of the Garmin range the Feenix 5 has this (but is pricey)
There are also dedicated garmin golf watches but don't look like they are good for much else.
Is there any other options available inside the Garmin range?
Or even a different brand that would have what I'm after?

You've come to the right place!
I have a Fenix 5. Its been great and I probably use 20% of its capacity of features.
You can load gpx files so as long as your golf course has it in that format should be ok but not sure how you link it to distances to the hole etc.
Suunto do a big watch range for runners.
Might have to wait for it to come on sale closer to $500?
I will look into suunto. With the running I have a fitbit which links to my phone GPS but it's not even close to accurate. Ive had Strava and fitbit running at the same time using phone as GPS, last Sunday I ran 13km by Strava (I believe accurate) but fitbit said 11.2, then Tuesday night I ran 7.5km by Strava and fitbit said 9km. Plus using an arm band is getting uncomfortable when running for an hour, so to have accurate GPS on watch would make it more comfortable
But to have the ability to link to golf course which gives distance to middle of green would be awesome to have which the Feenix 5 does but unaware of other watches that also do this.
Cheers

If you don't like it, change it. If you don't want to change it, it can't be that bad!
