Types of Bags
We have broken down each bag so that you can easily decide which best fits your golf game!
Carry Golf Bags
Carry bags are the lightest of the choices. They are strategically designed for players who love to walk the course and don’t require too much storage.
Stand Golf Bags
Stand bags are the one stop shop to everything you need in a golf bag. This type of bag is our top choice if you find yourself walking more often. They are designed to be light weight for this exact reason. These bags also works great with carts and have more than enough storage for the everyday golfer. Stand bags are more convenient than carry bags because they are easier to take around the course with the retractable standing legs.
Cart Golf Bags
Cart bags are designed with more storage and dividers for golfers who are always in the cart. Cart bags are typically used by professional golfers and more serious golfers, as they offer much more storage space for their golf gadgets. These bags are generally heavier than stand and carry bags, but can also be used with push carts or trolleys.
Tour Golf Bags
Tour bags are designed for the highest level players, offering them the maximum amount of storage of any bag with a pristine look. They are typically used by the professionals or competitive golfers who need the extra space. They are commonly referred to as “Staff” bags.
Travel Golf Bags
Travel bags are specifically designed to keep your golf clubs safe when traveling. The materials are usually thicker or sometimes have a hard case for ultimate protection. These bags are for golfers who typically use the riding cart or trolley.
