Beginner or pro, shopping for golfers is no easy task. It seems like they already have everything. But golfers can always use an upgrade. This guide is packed with great gift ideas at a range of price points, so you can find something they’ll love (and actually use).
New Bag = Best Gift Ever
For many golfers, they are long overdue for a bag upgrade. Whether they walk, ride or just hit range sessions, here are three no-brainer options.
SB-100 Stand Bag
The SB-100 is a brand-new release that delivers premium performance without the premium price. This bag is sleek with a minimalistic design that meets feature-loaded comfort. Built for walkers who want it all and don’t want to carry extra weight.
Lite Rider 2.0 Cart Bag
The Lite Rider 2.0 is the latest cart bag designed for golfers who need extra storage. It boasts a lightweight build, 14-way full-length dividers and comes in five eye-catching colors. If they’re always filling the riding cart with “just one more thing,” this is the bag for them.
Loop Lite Sunday Bag
Traditional and streamlined with no stand and no fuss. The Loop Lite is ideal for early-morning range sessions, quick 9s and par-3 courses. It’s the bag that carries everything they need and nothing they don’t.
Push Carts & Electric Carts They’ll Flex on the Course
If you're unsure if a cart would be a good gift for your golfer, here's an easy way to figure it out:
✔ They rent a push cart every round → They’ll love owning one
✔ They complain about heavy bags → Push cart
✔ They use a bargain cart with a painful setup → UPGRADE
✘ They insist on riding every time → Skip the cart idea
If a cart is the move, we recommend:
Nitron Push Cart
The Nitron is the #1 cart in golf for a reason. It opens smooth with a one-step auto-open tech that feels like magic. No awkward setup. And more color options than anyone else on the market. One gift = years of easier walking.
Volt Electric Cart
For golfers who love gadgets and deserve something epic, you’ll want to check out the Volt Electric Cart. A remote-controlled electric cart that powers the bag for you. In short: a personal robot caddy. Named MyGolfSpy Staff Pick: Best Electric Cart of 2025.
For the Jet-Setter
If they love playing bucket-list courses (or keep hinting they want to), you owe it to them to snag them a durable travel cover this holiday season. It should be padded, durable and ready to face the most aggressive baggage handlers.
ZTF Travel Cover
The ZTF Travel Cover features an expandable design that adjusts to fit both stand and cart bags with a snug, secure hold. Extra padding protects the clubheads where it matters most, and with a recent $60 markdown, it’s now just $99 — a small price to keep your clubs safe on every trip.
Stocking Stuffers & Small Gifts
These are the items golfers never think to buy but always appreciate receiving.
Golf Towels
Golf towels are always a welcome gift. The Pop Culture Collection from David O’Keefe brings iconic golf movies and moments to life in bold, eye-catching art. Or go with a 2026 U.S. Open towel if you’re planning to pair it with the ultimate surprise: tickets to the championship.
Umbrellas
Umbrellas are one of those items golfers rarely think to buy (until they’re stuck in a downpour wishing they had one). For the course, the Hurricane 2.0 is a must-have: sturdy, wide coverage and built to withstand gusty fairway winds.
For everyday life, the Traveler Umbrella is the ultimate sidekick. It tucks easily into a golf bag, car door or backpack so they’re never caught off guard again. The best part? Automatic open and close.
Golf Ball Retriever
For beginners, it’s a smart, money-saving essential. For that friend who has a sixth sense for finding the water hazard? It’s a playful reminder and a money-saving essential. The SL 14' Golf Ball Retriever might get some laughs (until someone in their foursome needs to borrow it), but it also keeps more balls in play and more cash in their pocket. Win-win.
Wrap-Up
Shopping for a golfer doesn’t have to be intimidating (even if you don’t know a bogey from a birdie). With any of these gifts, you’ll give them something they’ll use, love and be excited to show off on the course.
