As someone who was forced to play golf as a country club tween, I’ve now come to love the sport after picking it up again while living in North Carolina. I’ve gotten my boyfriend into it too and it's a hobby we can enjoy together—but it's a hobby that requires a lot of stuff. It’s expensive, to say the least. Luckily, that means golf gear makes a great gift, as long as you know what to buy. Because, trust me, you don’t want to embarrass yourself by getting them the wrong balls.
There are tons of golf-themed gifts that the golfer in your life would be thrilled to open, but make sure you're keeping their personality in mind. Sure, Mom might be a boss on the greens, but a tacky golf mug might not be her style. Opt for a nice new athletic skirt or other golf clothes she can sport. If you're looking for a gift for your husband who air-swings his fake club in the living room, golf gadgets like a Meta Quest to play virtually may be a bit more fun.

The 66 Best Gifts for Dad That He'll Actually Use (& Won't Abandon in the Garage)
1. Callaway Adjustable Visor
They'll appreciate this sleek visor to keep the sun out of their eyes while they're lining up the perfect shot. It's equipped with 30+ UV protection, an adjustable band and a cooling sweatband, which they'll be thanking you for as they're nearing the end of the course. Buyers rave over how comfortably it fits, too, as one shared: "What I love most about this visor is how lightweight and comfortable it is. The moisture-wicking fabric ensures that sweat won't be a problem, and the adjustable strap allows for a perfect fit every time. Plus, the Callaway logo adds a touch of class to any golf outfit."
2. Putt-A-Bout Grassroots Par 3 Putting Green
They'll be able to practice their putt in the comfort of the basement. At 9 feet long and 3 feet wide, they'll get a realistic, long-putt feeling. The ramp adds an extra challenge and the sand traps will catch any balls that fall behind the holes, too.
3. lululemon Down For It All Vest
If the golfer in your life likes to hit the green even as it gets cold out, this vest is made with down to offer some extra warmth. Since there are no sleeves, they won't have to worry about feeling restricted during their swing. Plus, its an unobtrusive layer to their already (hopefully) stylish golf polo.
4. Rites In The Rain Golf Notebook
Some people play for fun; some people play to win. If you know someone who falls into the latter category, help them keep a meticulous score with this notebook to (hopefully) get down their handicap. It's weatherproof, so if it's raining, the cover will protect the pages.
5. Titleist 2023 Pro V1 Personalized Golf Balls
Nothing makes you want to not lose a ball in the woods quite like a personalized golf ball (my dad still won’t hit the ones with his dog’s face on them). You can personalize a dozen (or more) golf balls to say whatever you want within the character limit of 17 characters per line. It’s a great wedding gift for a golf couple, and you can embellish it with their wedding hashtag.
6. Nike Dri-Fit UV Advantage Top
Early morning tee time? Protect their shoulders from the sun in style. This moisture-wicking, long-sleeved T-shirt protects from UVA and UVB rays. It's also lightweight, so they won't overheat. Plus, we're kind of obsessed with the mock neckline.
7. SettingFire Golf Bag Tag
This adorable tag can be customized from the name to the color so that they won't confuse their Ping bag from someone else’s when they head to Pinehurst. As a bonus, it has holders for up to five golf tees and the strap is adjustable.
8. Team Effort Blade Putter Cover
Is the golfer in your life all about their alma mater? Gift them a personalized cover for their blade putter so they can show it off with pride when they're on the course. This one is designed to fit most blade putters and the exterior is water-resistant.
9. BuffaloBottleCraft The BeerWedge
Not only does this cute little keychain look like a golf ball, but it also has a beer opener on it. It’s a clever addition for the bottle-preferring beer drinker and might give them just enough liquid courage to hit it over the water on hole 16.
10. PrestigeDecanturs Golf Ball Decanter
Complete with two low ball (pun intended) glasses and a decanter in the shape of a golf ball. It will impress their golf buddies and give them a reason to talk about their swing off the course. Plus, it's engraveable.
11. Sunday Golf Loma Bag
If the golfer in your life frequently hits the range or does par 3 courses, they’ll adore this mini bag that can fit six clubs and a water bottle and only weighs 2 pounds. A frosty beverage pocket ensures that cans will stay chilled and there’s additional pockets to stash balls and a glove. Plus, It comes in multiple colors and can even be personalized.

Who says golf is limited to the course? This cute tie is adorned in greens and golf clubs and the avid golfer in your life is going to love sporting it to dinner. Plus, it's made of a luxurious 100 percent silk.
13. Tohifer Golf Practice Net
Fold it up and take it anywhere—this net is great for travel, practicing chipping at the park or just keeping in the backyard. It comes with the net, green mat, tee and five balls. Reviewers note it's great for backyard use, but the pins aren't super sturdy to keep the net in the ground and you may need extra reinforcement for windy days.
14. Yeti Hopper Flip 12 Soft Cooler
Whether he spends his days on courses or practices his putting in the backyard, this fan-favorite cooler will come in handy. That's because it has excellent insulation that will ensure his drinks and snacks stay cold for hours. It also holds up to 13 beer cans and 16 pounds of ice, making it roomy enough to pack for a full day of golfing with no interruptions.
15. TaylorMade 2023 Classic Stand Golf Bag
Upgrade your hubby’s old golf bag with this sleek one by TaylorMade. It has 11 pockets, plus a removable golf ball pocket. The legs automatically kick out when you set the bag down for convenience (especially if he doesn’t have a golf cart).
16. Callaway Supersoft Golf Balls
These balls have a hybrid cover that helps get the ball higher and farther with low spin when it’s hit. They’re super soft to the touch and are available in six colors. Plus, they aren't super expensive, so they won’t feel that bad if one gets lost in the woods.
17. Footjoy Weathersof Golf Gloves
Golf gloves never last as long as you think they do (and get smelly fast), so it’s always good to have multiple on hand. The leather material of these gloves enhances the feel and grip of the club when teeing up. Plus, the fingers have ventilation holes, reducing the chance of sweaty hands, and it’s available for righties and lefties.
18. Callaway Women's OptiColor Leather Glove
Forget boring white golf clubs. These hot pink and blue options from Callaway are one way to stand out on the putting green. The leather martial is comfortable, and there are perforations on the palm, fingers and thumb allowing your fingers to breathe.
19. Garmin Epix (Gen 2) GPS Smartwatch
If you really want to impress the golfer in your life, gift them this luxurious Garmin smartwatch. For $900, you can bet its capabilities are endless.

Underneath compartments stash all sorts of tools, including a cheese chisel knife, hard cheese knife, cheese fork, corkscrew, bottle stopper and drip ring. Gift-wise, it’s going to be a hole-in-one.
22. Adidas Golf Men's Ultimate 3-Stripe Tapered Pant
The three stripes on these adidas pants adds an extra cool factor to traditional golf pants. Made with a stretchy fabric, they have a loose fit that’s actually comfortable. My boyfriend owns these in multiple colors and he can wear them casually without looking like he’s heading to the course.
23. Nike Dri-fit Perforated Golf Hat
Like the tees, you can never have too many golf hats. This one has perforations along the back to let out any heat and keep the head cooled off even on the sunniest days. As someone with puffy, curly hair, it’s one of the few styles that actually looks good on me.
24. Bombas Men’s Performance Golf Ankle Sock
Designed for movement, these socks are a great pair to wear for golfing. The elevated lip on the heel makes for a comfortable cushioning to avoid blisters or uncomfortable rubbing.
25. Mark & Graham Golf Cart Decanter And Glasses Gift Set

26. Kikkerland Putter Cup Golf Mug
Morning coffee will never be the same. This is a great mug to keep on a work desk because he can practice his putt on a micro-level whenever he needs a little bit of a distraction. Just be sure to hand wash it or the greens may fade fast.
27. Taylormade Hydroblast Bandon 3 Putter
Treat your partner to a new putter, and this is one of the best. It can reflect a little glare, but not much, and the prong style adds extra support for a little more forgiveness on fast greens. This sleek putter is a great choice if he’s in need of a new one.
28. Stanley Quencher H2.0 FlowState Tumbler
The hot sun and dehydration can be a recipe for disaster on the course. But this super popular Stanley tumbler will ensure they stay hydrated.

30. Phigolf Smart Golf Game Simulator
Nothing like playing virtual golf in the comfort of your living room. The controller is similar to a golf club, and you can switch up your courses and play with multiple people.
31. Blue Tees Golf Series 3 Max
Help them stop guessing how close they are to the pin with a rangefinder. This one from Blue Tees has neat features like a flag locking tool so they can know their yardage and therefore what club to use and a magnetic strip they can attach to their cart for easy access. Plus, with seven times magnification they can opt to see how close the water is and use a slope switch to account for any incline. They will thank you later.
32. FootJoy Men's Fj Flex Golf Shoe
A cross between a sneaker and golf shoe, this is for the guy who doesn’t want to wear fancy footwear. The EVA midsole is incredibly supportive while the performance mesh upper makes sure his feet won’t overheat on a hot day. Also, the bottoms don’t have spikes so he can casually wear them to run errands after a “quick” 18.
33. G/Fore Women’s Kilte Durf Golf Shoe
G/Fore is one of the top names when it comes to fashionable golf attire — and these shoes are no different. With a waterproof leather exterior and a funky fringe front, they’ll immediately upgrade their exercise dress. The insoles have a comfortable “massage” insoles that feel great when they’re on their feet for four-plus hours and the gentle spikes provide a bit more footing for swings.

39. Uncommon Goods Wooden Hand Palm Roller
After a long day of gripping clubs, this little palm roller will give their hands some much-needed relief. It’s about 4 inches and can fit inside a golf bag or even in a pocket.
40. Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls
If they’ve finally graduated from losing a full sleeve of balls on the front 9, then it’s time for them to hit some Pro V1s. While expensive compared to other golf balls, pros and amateur golfers agree that they are superior with gradient core technology and a high-flex casing layer to lower long game spin for longer distances. Trust me, they will feel the difference.
41. G/Fore Skulls & T's Ball Markers
If you can’t swing for G/Fore attire, these flashy skull ball markers will do just fine. The five-pack will definitely have them standing out on the green during tournaments on a casual round where they’ll need to mark their ball during putting. They are a bit thicker than other ball markers, but that makes them easier to grab post a stressful long putt.
42. Athetico Padded Golf Travel Bag
Traveling to a golf tournament? Or maybe to Scottsdale for a friend’s bachelor party? She’s going to love having this travel case for his clubs. It’s padded, so it will keep all of those expensive clubs nice and protected.
43. Pride Professional Tee System Pro Length Tees
You can never have too many tees for the golf course. The color bar shows the tees’ length when inserted into the ground and each one is a solid 3 ¼ inches long. Plus, the plastic material ensures they won’t break like wooden tees do.
44. Dynasty Magnetic Golf Towel
This towel is a party trick on the course thanks to a magnet that allows them to hook the towel to their bag—or pick it up with their club. The waffle texture makes it absorbent when cleaning clubs, and they can toss it in the washer when it does get too dirty.
45. lululemon Quick-Dry Sleeveless Polo Shirt
Made with quick drying fabric, this polo is ideal for those hot days that you plan on getting lunch after. Read: the sweat spots will dry fast. It comes in plenty of cute colors to pair with a shirt and has that classic collar required for the course. It will look just as fabulous tucked in as it will tucked out.
46. Golfdotz Summer Daisy Mix
Using these cute stickers is a good way to differentiate your balls from others on the course, especially if you’re all using the same brand. Featuring four different colors of daisies, they’re designed to easily stick to their favorite balls. Plus, they give them another reason to try to not lose their balls!
47. Tovolo Golf Ball Ice Molds
Chilling their favorite whisky is even more on brand when their ice cube is shaped like a giant golf ball. The 2.5-inch sphere ice ball will melt slowly, preserving the flavor of their drink, and it’s easy to fill up the shape. The molds are also BPA-free and dishwasher-safe for minimal cleaning effort as well.
48. Nike Men's 2022 Dri-FIT UV Golf Bucket Hat
This bucket hat is a great alternative to block the sun on especially sunny days and makes sure their face and neck are covered. The drawstring helps create a better fit, and the Dri-Fit material keeps it from getting too sweaty.
49. Weatherman Umbrella
This umbrella from Weatherman makes rainy day golf weather a little more attainable, and dare I say fun? With a large diameter of 62 inches, this umbrella has got you covered. It also has a UPF 50+ barrier, can withstand winds of 55 mph and can attach to a properly fitted pushcart to keep them dry. Otherwise, they may need a caddy to hold it over them.
50. The Ball in the Air
Golf is fun but incredibly frustrating. Maybe that’s why we keep going back. In The Ball in the Air, author and sportswriter Michael Bamberger unpacks the popularity and psychology of the sport. Even non-readers will be excited to dive in.
51. SKLZ Gold Flex Golf Swing Trainer Warm-Up Stick
If they can’t swing a club indoors, they can improve their form with a warm up stick. Featuring a weighted ball on top, continuously swinging the SKLZ can help warm them up and follow the proper swing pattern on the course. According to the brand, only 10 to 15 swings per day is all it takes.
52. Travis Mathew The Zinna Slub Piqué Polo
Travis Mathew makes some of the softest, most comfortable polos out there. This one is specifically wrinkle resistant and comes in multiple colors for a fashion statement. It looks just as good on the course as it does at the office.
53. Ghost Golf Gary Belt
A golf belt must strike the perfect balance between comfort and its ability to keep everything up. This Ghost belt features woven webbing for a tight fit without belt holes and gives a good amount of stretch, which is essential while swinging. Each belt is named after a different golf pro, but the black “Gary” model will go with nearly anything.
54. Callaway Golf Happens 19th Hole Cap
This is for the one whose favorite hole is the 19th one — a.k.a. the bar where they’ll be getting drinks after. It’ll keep them protected from the sun and will earn a few high fives from their golfing buddies.
55. Alo Grand Slam Tennis Skirt
You can never go wrong with a pleated skirt on the course. This one from Alo is my favorite because it’s high-rise and a mid-thigh length, breathable with the brand’s Airlift fabric and comes in multiple colorways. I own it and love the way it swishes when you hit a drive. Plus, the interior side pocket is perfect for stashing extra balls, a ball marker or your phone.
56. Theragun Mini 2.0
For a sport without a ton of cardio, golf sure leads to plenty of aches and pains. But the Theragun Mini makes it easy to rub out their sore shoulders and back pain after a round. It features three speed options, an ergonomic handle and it’s portable enough to bring on their next golf trip.
57. Daphne's Giraffe Headcover
Protecting their favorite driver is a lot cuter with an animal-themed headcover. The brand sells multiple animal heads, but we’re partial to this adorable giraffe. It fits most 460cc drivers and is durable to survive being jostled around in the bag.
58. Oars + Alps Everyday SPF 35
Let’s not forget the gift of skin protection. This mineral sunscreen is made of natural ingredients and is sweat- and water-resistant for 80 minutes. They’ll be happy to have it when they’re stuck at the beach (a.k.a. in a sand trap).
59. Clicgear 4.0 Golf Push Cart
Golf is essentially just a power walk with some swings in between, which is much easier to do if you're pushing a bag instead of lugging it over your shoulder. This one from Clicgear is ergonomic for a comfortable experience and has a cup holder, umbrella mount and little hammock to store balls and tees. It’s the perfect way to be a little more active when golfing.
60. Meta Quest 2
The Meta virtual reality headset isn't just equipped with fun games and workouts, you can golf, too. Whether you play nine or 18 holes or utilize the driving range powered by Top Golf, there are a ton of golfing options to download.
61. DeadEyeVR Golf Club Handle Accessory
Speaking of the Meta Quest, this attachment allows the player to feel like they have an actual golf club in their hands instead of pretending. This will help with practicing their swing instead of just throwing their hands through the air. Hopefully they can apply it IRL on the course, as well.
