Finding gifts for your favorite golfer can be a daunting challenge, even for those of us that play the game regularly. Making things more complicated, there are tons of lists on the internet that push products that normal golfers would never use.
That’s why we are here. We’ve compiled the the 10 BEST GOLF GIFTS that you can rest assured will hit the mark, no matter the skill level.
Pro V1 Golf Balls
The Best All-Around Golf Ball That Every Golfer Can Use and Enjoy
Pro-V1 golf balls are widely considered the best golf ball on the market. They are played by a majority of PGA Tour players because they really do provide the best performance.
Simply put, these balls go the farthest and have the softest feel around the greens, period.
Are there cheaper options out there that can compete with the Pro V1? Yes.
Is this still one of the best golf gifts for someone who plays golf? Also Yes.
Pro V1 is the gold standard, and there isn’t a golfer on the planet that would be unhappy with having these in their bag.
If you buy these as a gift, rest assured, your gift will be happily received!
Buying tips:
- Buy white golf balls unless you know they like playing yellow golf balls
- Get high numbers (5-8) vs (1-4), since higher numbers are less common. This makes it easier to distinguish your ball on the course from others
WOSPORTS Laser Rangefinder
Must Have Gift for Every Golfer
Until recently, rangefinders were prohibitively expensive for the average golfer, but those days are now gone. Still, many golfers don’t have one in their bag. That makes a rangefinder one of our all-time top golf gifts.
While there are many top-of-the-line rangefinders that we love in the $400-$500 range like this Bushnell rangefinder, that level of precision or accuracy isn’t necessary for the average golfer.
That’s where the WOSPORTS Rangefinder comes in. I have had this rangefinder in my bag for over a year and it does everything and more that a golfer could need, and is simple to use and requires no setup.
The options this item has:
- Standard laser distance to any target on the golf course (just point and shoot), with range up to 650 YARDS
- Flagpole lock – locks onto the flagpole and vibrates when locked on – making flag acquisition simple
- Mode that takes into account elevation to give you the effective distance on courses with terrain
- Hunting mode (just a bonus); can be used for hunting
- 18 month warranty for piece of mind
Buying tips:
- For ease of use, this magnetic rangefinder strap from STICKIT allows you to secure the rangefinder to any metal on your golf cart for easy access
JBL Flip 4 Speaker
Wireless Waterproof Speaker to Keep the Golf Round Groovin’
More and more golfers listen to music when they play golf these days. It’s a way to take some of the edge off an otherwise serious round, and remind yourself that you are outside playing a game when you could be working instead.
For those that don’t already have one, a JBL Speaker is an decently priced option for a high quality product.
Even better, it’s waterproof, so when the unfortunate rainstorm rolls in, the last thing you have to worry about is your bluetooth speaker getting waterlogged.
Not too mention, this isn’t just a golf product. Everyone can always use a good bluetooth speaker.
And with over 27,000 ratings on Amazon, you can be confident your purchase will go over well!
Titleist Lightweight Cart Golf Back
The Ultimate Golf Riding Bag – Titleist Cart 15
The new bags from Titleist have the following handy features:
- Extremely lightweight
- 15 full length dividers and a dedicated putter well
- Removeable front cover allows for your name to be embroidered
- Works great for golf carts and push carts
- Has a built in insulated cooler pocket for on-course beverages
- Has dividers that keep clubs neatly organized

This bag won’t make you shoot better scores, but it will make your on course experience more enjoyable in the process.
FootJoy Golf Gloves
The Most Comfortable, Best-Selling Glove in Golf
Most golfers think of gloves as an afterthought so they end up buying whatever is cheapest at the course right before they play. This creates a cycle of playing with sub-par gloves over and over again. Honestly, I’m guilty of this more than I care to admit.
That is why buying good gloves is a great gift for those looking to spend around $20, or for those looking for an inexpensive gift add-on (for example to Pro V1s and Indestructible Golf Tees).
When shopping for golf gloves, there are only 3 things that matter:
- Soft feel/comfort
- Maximum durability
- Good fit
FootJoy gloves check two of the three boxes with very high marks. Just make sure you get the right size.
Buying tips:
- Make sure you get the correct hand (left hand glove for right handed golfers and vice versa)
- Make sure you get the correct fit, so ask them what size they generally wear. If you want to be sneaky, tell them you are looking for a golf glove and want to know what size they wear as a guide.
- Generally, medium works for most people if you are unsure. Most pro shops will let them exchange for free, since it’s the most common brand.
Caddy Daddy Golf Bag Cooler
Slim Insulated Cooler That Neatly Fits into Golf Bag
A recurring problem for many people is that hot temps on the golf course make keeping cool refreshing drinks a problem.
Yes, you can usually get bags of ice from the clubhouse, but a few holes later, you are left with a watery mess that leaks all over your cart or golf bag.
Enter Caddy Daddy.
This Golf Bag Cooler can be stored in a golf bag for those walking or using a push cart, or put straight in the cart.
Features:
- Insulated to keep drinks cool for a full golf round
- Holds six 12-oz cans
- Includes free ice pack
- Has additional pocket for other gear like koozies
Club Brush / Groove Sharpener / Divot Fixer Combo
Useful Tool Every Golfer Needs to Keep Clubs Clean for Better Ballstriking
It is also surprising how many golfers do not have one.
There is a reason that pros have caddies that clean their club face after every shot – it is crucial to ensure solid contact on the next one.
Unless you are the type of golfer that plays with a caddie every time, a tool to clean your clubs after every shot is essential to make sure that dirt doesn’t get in the club grooves, and potentially alter the contact the ball makes with the face on subsequent shots.
This is another inexpensive gift that will get a lot of use immediately, and will result in lower scores.
Bonus Items:
- Comes with a golf ball divot fixer and ball marker set
- Also comes with separate groove sharpener for clubs that are worn down
Golf Practice Net
Keep Your Game Sharp When You Are Away From the Course
While many don’t have the luxury of being able to get off work in time to play a few holes or head to a driving range, this practice net is the next best thing!
This durable practice net is easily assembled in minutes, and comes in three different sizes (medium size presented here). Just snap it together and you will be able to step into your own private practice facility
Features (as shown):
- 12′ (L) x 7′ (H) x 6.6′ (W) practice net enclosure
- 2 year limited warranty
Putting Alignment Tool
The Key to Practicing Smarter & Lowering Scores
That’s where the EyeLine Golf Putting Mirror comes to the rescue.
This tool allows you to check the three key tenets of a great putting stroke:
- foot alignment
- eye position
- shoulders alignment
Even PGA Tour Pros use this simple system to hone their stroke before they play tournaments as shown here.
The reason they do it? Because it works.
As the saying goes “Drive for show, putt for dough”.
Bonus Items:
- Carry bag for easy transport
- Tees that create “gates” to make sure your stroke is on the correct path through backswing and follow through
Indestructible Golf Tees
Golf Tees That Don’t Break
One of the annoying things for many golfers is that they are constantly breaking or losing their wooden tees each hole, and by the end of the round, they run out of tees. As a result, they have to resort to looking for them throughout the course (which looks ridiculous), or borrowing from their playing partners – who many times are in the same predicament!
The Pride Professional Tee System solves that problem.
These are the best tees I’ve ever encountered, and I’ve used a LOT of tees throughout my lifetime. These tees simply don’t break.
A nice feature of this package is that it includes 40 driving tees (2 3/4″) and 10 shorter tees (1 1/2″) for teeing up fairway woods or irons.
Get these tees and never worry about running out of tees during your round again!
