Select the Best Golf Bag for YOU!

Choosing a golf bag depends on your playing style, how you transport your clubs, and how much gear you need. There are several main types, from lightweight carry bags to large, feature-rich cart bags.

Ideal for golfers who use a motorized golf cart or push/pull trolley. They have a non-slip base and a single carrying strap since they aren't meant to be carried long distances.
Pros: Feature ample storage with plenty of pockets for apparel, balls, and accessories, plus a stable, non-slip base.
Cons: Heavier and bulkier than stand bags, making them impractical to carry for a full round.

1. Stand/Carry bags

2. Cart/Trolley bags

Best for golfers who enjoy walking the course. These bags are lightweight and feature retractable legs that prop the bag up for easy access to your clubs.
Pros: Comfortable padded dual-shoulder straps for carrying, versatile for walking or using on a cart.
Cons: Less storage space than cart or staff bags, and generally use thinner, less durable materials.

The largest and most feature-rich bags, typically used by professional golfers. They are designed for caddies to carry or for use on a cart.
Pros: Maximum storage capacity, highly durable construction, and a luxurious, professional look.
Cons: Very heavy and expensive, making them impractical for most amateur players.

4. Staff/Tour bags

The lightest and most minimalist option. These are for golfers who only want to carry a few clubs for a quick, casual round or a trip to the driving range.
Pros: Extremely lightweight and compact for easy transport.
Cons: Minimal storage for clubs and gear, and offers little protection from the elements.

3. Sunday/Pencil bags

Key features to consider

Storage capacity: Think about how much gear you bring to the course. Cart and staff bags offer the most storage, while stand and Sunday bags are more minimal.
Dividers: Dividers organize your clubs and protect them from banging into each other.Fewer dividers (e.g., 4-way): Common on lighter bags, with a small putter well or none at all.
More dividers (e.g., 14-way): Often found on cart bags, with a designated slot for each club and putter.
Full-length dividers: Keep club grips from tangling at the bottom of the bag.
Straps: If you plan to carry your bag, look for padded, comfortable straps. Stand bags often have dual, backpack-style straps for better weight distribution.
Material: The material affects a bag's weight, durability, and weather resistance.
Nylon and polyester: Lightweight, durable, and generally water-resistant.
Leather: Luxurious and highly durable, but also heavier and requires more maintenance.
Waterproofing: If you often play in wet conditions, a waterproof bag with sealed seams and zippers will keep your gear dry.
