Finding the perfect golf gift can feel like a challenge—especially when you’re shopping for someone who seems to have everything. But golf is about so much more than just the clubs! Whether your friend or loved one is a seasoned pro, a casual weekend player, or just starting out, the right gift can spark pure joy.
The best gifts for any hobby or passion are the ones that either inspire progress, help improve skills, or add a personal touch to something they already love.
So, if you’re looking for that perfect golf gift idea, we’ve got you covered with some great options for both men and women!
High-tech Golf Gadgets
Golf and technology go hand in hand these days – and there’s no shortage of gadgets designed to help players up their game. Smartwatches, for example, can double up as a caddy (at least in terms of offering advice) and laser-precise rangefinders can help you gauge distance with a click of a button.
- Garmin Smartwatches (alongside other smartwatch brands) can help you keep track of fitness in general, but Garmin’s Approach S62 is packed with features specifically designed for golfers.
- A highly rated rangefinder, such as the Bushnell Tour V6, helps your golfer get fast focus, slope-switching technology, and JOLT feedback for incredible accuracy.
Personalized Golf Accessories
Nothing says thoughtful like a personalized gift. This can be anything – from functional to aesthetic – but the added personalization shows that you went the extra mile for the person receiving it. Look for:
- Custom golf balls – with a brand like Titleist, you can order custom golf balls that have your recipient’s name, favorite phrase, or inside joke printed onto the high-quality balls.
- Custom divot tools & ball markers – these small (though essential) tools can be engraved with initials or a meaningful message.
- Custom golf towels – how much more swish can you get than a personalized towel?
Stylish Golf Apparel
Like with any sport, great golf gear doesn’t just look great, but it helps players to perform at their best. Go for clothes that combine form with function, such as moisture-wicking polo shirts or tour-level shoes.
- Nike Dri-FIT polos – these polo shirts from Nike are lightweight and breathable; perfect for warm-weather rounds – as well as being underlayers in less favorable weather.
- TravisMathew apparel – TravisMathew is a favorite for modern golf fashion. They use really high-performance fabrics to create casual, stylish, and versatile clothes.
- FootJoy Pro SL golf shoes – when you’re spending so much of your golfing day either standing or walking, it’s crucial to have comfortable shoes that offer traction and waterproofing.
Golf Training Aids
The best golfers in the world didn’t wake up one day to discover they were suddenly really good at golf – they spent years practising, and still practise as often as possible (usually at least 5 days a week). So, training aids are a lovely gift for anyone working on their swing, short game, or putting strokes. An added benefit here is that many training aids can be used at home or in the office.
- SKLZ Gold Flex Trainer – This handy gadget helps to improve swing, tempo, strength, and balance (while also doubling as a warm-up tool) without having to actually hit a golf ball.
- PuttOut Pressure Putt Trainer – When working on the endgame, this tool provides instant feedback and works on any flat surface.
- Chipping nets & mats – If you have the space, these can help to transform your backyard into a mini short-game training facility (with a lot less walking!)
Golf Experience Gifts
Some of the best and most thoughtful gifts aren’t items at all, they’re unforgettable experiences. This can be something like playing a dream course or getting the opportunity to have private lessons with a real professional. Experience-based gifts are perfect for golfers who already have all the gear they need!
- Golf lessons with a local pro – a quick Google search for lessons in your area can show a wealth of pros looking to share their knowledge. If there’s a particular pro that your friend or loved one looks up to, it can even be a once-in-a-lifetime experience to book them travel and accommodation for a one-to-one or small-group training session.
- Rounds at bucket-list courses – most golf lovers have seen famous courses on TV, but very few ever get to actually play on those courses. Pebble Beach, TPC Sawgrass, and Torrey Pines are a few iconic US courses that offer public access.
- Golf resort getaways – similar to booking golf lessons, booking a weekend or week-long getaway at a golf resort is an amazing way to not only have a memorable vacation, but to get a lot more practice in!
Golf-focused Subscription Boxes
These are gifts that keep on giving; subscription boxes offer doorstep surprises every month, in curated packages that are perfect for real golf lovers. They can often include a mix of gear, apparel, and accessories, and you can usually order a semi-specialized one if you know that your friend or loved one is particularly interested in one aspect of their game.
- Mullybox – These include training aids, gear, and accessories that help to improve performance.
- Short Par 4 – You can buy these subscriptions in a tiered way to reflect the needs of the recipient (or the importance of the gift). They send trendy, customized apparel and golf wear every month.
