Best value garmin for golf and surfing

I am currently running an old forerunner 245 Music which has been great. The only problem I have is that it doesn't support built in golf or surfing apps and the ones available are average at best. The worst part is one of the devs of the surfing app I used said that Garmin just refused to allow the functionality because of the cheap price of the watch, it has all the capabilities.

Anyone have advice on which garmin watch would support golf and surfing and not be AU$1500? I was looking at the Venu 3, it seems to represent the better value but not really sure what functionality it doesn't have.

Any advice would be much appreciated.
