Know Someone Obsessed With Golf? Here Are 33 Gift Ideas We Love
I didn’t really get it … at least, not yet. But I think this may have had a bit to do with the fact that it seemed like there was just so much gear, and I had no idea what was what. And everyone — and I mean everyone — had thoughts on what constituted the right kind of gear for their game.
So whether you’re just discovering the sport (like I was), have no idea what to get the golf lover in your life, or you’re just looking for new gear that’s actually worth it to give this year, we’re here to help. We’ve tested dozens of golf products this year with the help of actual golfers, and these are the things we think would be great gifts.
Golf Balls
/taylormade-tp5-golf-balls-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=fe5a14dc_1)
For the Advanced Golfer
TaylorMade TP5 Golf Balls
The TP5 is made for golfers who stake their game on spin and shot control. It will give them plenty of spin on approach shots, letting the ball land softly and not roll off on its own. The TP5’s softer feel also gives a more precise feel on putts and chips.

Golf Clubs

For a Comprehensive Set for Beginners
Callaway Golf Men’s Strata 12-Piece Set
This is a solid set for any new golfer. It includes a fairway wood, a hybrid, irons, a pitching wedge, a putter, and a driver: basically anything they’d need to play a full round. These Callaway clubs are designed to be forgiving, so mishits and imperfect shots will be straighter and a little more playable. It’s a great starter kit for a golfer who’s just learning the game.
Side note: We know this is labeled as a men’s set, but the sizing is designed to fit the average height and strength of most adult golfers.

/dsg-mizuno-pro-245-irons-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=f554ed88_1)
For the Golfer Who Needs More Iron(s)
Mizuno Pro 245 Irons
My family loves Mizuno irons because, while they do have a thinner face that can be tougher to hit at first, they perform really well once you get used to them.
The brand also offers game improvement irons, and its newest model, the Pro 245 Irons, offers great distance and a smooth feel of impact. I’d recommend these for a golfer who has moved past the beginner stage and is ready for irons that require a little more precision: They’re almost guaranteed to feel the difference in performance.
/dsg-mizuno-craft-omoi-putter-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=7146b8a_1)
For the Golfer Who Needs a New Putter
Mizuno M.CRAFT OMOI 01 Putter
Putters aren’t usually included in sets, and it can take a little trial and error to find “the one.” This is the putter I have been using for ages. It’s a classic blade-style putter that feels balanced and steady and basically helps you hit straighter without overthinking it. The 01 is also a bit heavier than most putters, giving you a steadier, more consistent putt.
We know most golfers won’t splurge on a putter for themselves, so if you want to give them a thoughtful gift that will earn a place in their bag for decades, you may want to consider the OMOI 01.
Golf Accessories
/rapsodo-mlm3pro-launch-monitor-golf-simulator-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=6654cd28_1)
For the Golfer Who Wants to Play All Year Long
Rapsodo MLM2PRO Mobile Launch Monitor + Golf Simulator
Okay, I know what you’re thinking: Why would you want to spend this kind of money on a simulator? Well, if your golfer loves to practice and lives in a place where the weather doesn’t allow you to golf all year round (for example, Minnesota, where I live), a simulator is your new best friend.
This simulator from Rapsodo pairs with an app, so you can pull detailed stats like your spin rate, swing speed, and ball flight. And all that practice pays off; we’ve seriously increased our handicaps. For a golfer who’s serious about improving (or just stuck in a cold climate like I am), this is a gift they’ll use constantly.
/bushnell-golf-laser-rangefinder-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=2c3fd2a_1)
For the Golfer Who Wants to Up Their Game
Bushnell Golf A1-Slope Laser Rangefinder
Range finders help you determine the distance to the pin or hazards so you know exactly which club to use. It may not be part of a beginner’s typical kit, but try one out, and you’ll quickly realize how helpful a range finder can be. They’re a great way to take the guesswork out of navigating an unfamiliar golf course.
My family has been golfing for 20 years, and we love this newer range finder by Bushnell. The A1-Slope is smaller than other range finders we’ve tried, making it easy to handle and fit in your pocket or golf bag. (I especially like it because I have small hands.) It also works incredibly well to help me calculate my uphill and downhill shots and locks onto the pin quickly and accurately. It’s an investment, but I’m confident it will last my family for many years to come.

/scheels-golf-pride-z-grip-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=1a85031d_1)
For Helping Your Golfer Get a Grip
Golf Pride ZGRIP Cord Align Grips
Golf Pride is the gold standard for grips, and these are the exact ones my family keeps on our clubs. The company offers a range of textures, thicknesses, and colors, so you can find the perfect match. The Align Raised Ridge Technology keeps your grip consistent, which is something most golfers appreciate. The brand also tends to discount last year’s models when new ones come out, so it’s easy to stock up for when you’re ready to re-grip your clubs.
The only catch? Grips are super personal, so I’d make extra-sure you know what your golfer prefers before making a purchase.
Golf Shoes

For the Golfer Who Also Loves Fashion
The Golf Shoe: Men by Heathlander
/ecco-womens-golf-shoe-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=d18f8d7d_1)
For the Golfer Who Wants Style and Comfort
Ecco Golf Lt1 Hybrid Women’s Leather Waterproof Golf Shoe
/cloud-9-comfort-stability-series-golf-shoes-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=63731a4e_3)
For Shoes You Can Wear Off the Course
Cloud 9 Comfort Stability Series Golf Shoe
These shoes quickly became my husband’s favorite thanks to how comfortable and supportive they are; he has knee issues, which can definitely put a crimp in his golf game. These have a wider heel base and toe box to allow your feet to move more naturally, and the grippy outsole offers plenty of traction even without spikes. They’re also waterproof — no more damp socks!
The extra cushioning does raise you slightly higher than standard golf shoes, which took him a little getting used to when putting, but overall, these are well-made, knee-friendly shoes that I wouldn’t be ashamed to wear off the course.
Golf Clothes
/heathlander-mens-wind-sweater-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=a75e1371_3)
For the Golfer Who Loves a Luxury Layer
Heathlander The Men’s Wind Sweater
/johnnieo-mulligan-performance-woven-shorts-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=8ae07a68_1)
For the Golfer Who Wants Performance Without the Bulk
Johnnie-O Mulligan Performance Woven Shorts
When it comes to golf, you really don’t want to wear anything that restricts your game; you want clothing that works with your body and doesn’t weigh you down. Johnnie-O has this concept nailed down.
I was so impressed with how lightweight and unrestrictive the brand’s clothing feels. The Mulligan Performance Woven Shorts move with your body and are made with a stylish, breathable material. We also love the clever, golf-centric details, like magnetic closures on the pockets (no more dropping tees or your phone) and a waistband that keeps your shirt tucked in, even when you’re rotating through a full swing.
/johnnieo-momentum-stretch-knit-performance-pant-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=ff6387e7_1)
For the Golfer Who Prefers Pants
Johnnie-O Momentum Stretch Knit Performance Pant
/johnnieo-featherweight-performance-polo-marlin-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=c10f777d_1)
For the Golfer Who Loves a Classic Polo
Johnnie-O Featherweight Performance Polo – Marlin
For a polo that looks crisp but won’t mess with your swing, the Johnnie-O Featherweight Performance Polo is so lightweight that you’ll almost forget you’re wearing it. It’s made of a light jersey fabric that wicks away sweat, keeps you cool, and has UPF 50 sun protection (super important if you’re spending the day outdoors).
I wasn’t familiar with Johnnie-O until this past summer, but after testing several of the brand’s pieces, they can count me and my family among its biggest fans.

For the Golfer Who Loves Lightweight Layers
Johnnie-O Zimmer Featherweight Performance Vest
/johnnieo-performance-golf-dress-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=7d413b68_1)
For the Golfer Who Wants a Flattering, Functional Fit
Johnnie-O Tessa Performance Golf Dress
/court-life-golf-patch-sweatshirt-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=da78f456_3)
For the Golfer Looking for the Perfect Themed Sweatshirt
CourtLife Golf Patches Sweatshirt
This themed sweatshirt is made from an amazing Peruvian cotton blend, making it warm without being heavy, and the slightly cropped fit works well on the course. The sleeves don’t bunch, and the cuffs don’t interfere with my swing. I thought the elbow patches would annoy me, but they’re placed exactly where they don’t get in the way. And, okay, I got a little grief from the “golf” logo, but I actually really like it — it makes a basic sweatshirt feel a little more fun.
The only downside for me is the price (I have a hard time spending $100 on anything), but the quality is excellent, and it comes in five fun colors, so you can match it to almost anything in your closet.

CourtLife The Golf Jacket

Black Clover Timeless 3 Adjustable Hat
/honey-gold-womens-short-sleeve-zip-up-bodysuit-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=2e247d23_1)
For the Golfer Who Wants a Stay-Put Outfit
Honey Helen Sleeveless Bodysuit
If you’re the kind of golfer who really doesn’t want your shirt to become untucked when you swing, Honey’s bodysuit and skirt are ideal. The body suit may look tight, but once it’s on, it’s so comfortable, almost like a second skin. Plus, it’s not so tight that it’s going to restrict your swing. It comes in five sporty colors and pairs perfectly with the Sally Classic Skirt for a polished, course-ready look.
/alyn-golf-ace-cut-dress-500x500.jpg?sfvrsn=221120ff_1)
For the Golfer Who Wants Inclusive Sizing
Alyn Ace Cut Dress
This golf dress may not come in a wide range of colors, but it’s comfy, stylish, and worth the money. The fabric helps you stay cool on the course, and it’s held up well to regular washing and use. I also appreciated Alyn’s inclusive sizing — the company offers sizes up to 2X, making it just a bit easier to find options that fit a variety of body types. I also got the chance to try the Essential Crop and have to admit, it would make a great gift, too.
