Our Top 3 Golf Travel Bags

Whether you’re traveling for business or pleasure, chances are, if you’re anything like us you’ll be stowing your clubs along for the ride and looking for any chance to get out there on some new golf courses.

However, the idea of lugging a bag of loose, clanking, golf clubs around a crowded airport is far from appealing (and not the wisest thing you can do either).

Sure, renting clubs when you get there is an option, but given the astronomical costs of renting golf club (especially if you’re renting them at an upscale course like TPC Sawgrass or Pinehurst) and adding to that the fact that we’re pretty sure you’re going to want to play these exotic courses with your own sticks; the rental option is rarely the best choice.

So to get you, and you clubs there in once piece, we’ve compiled the following list of our favorite golf travel bags.  Just pick the one that best fits your style and budget, and you’ll be ready to hit the road.

The Nike Travel Cover Golf Bag

Nike Travel Cover:  This bag features a compression-molded shell that will protect your clubs against all that weight sitting on top of them in the cargo bay.  Straps inside this travel help keep your clubs in place within the protective outer shell and the convenient 360-dree zipper makes it easy to load and unload your clubs without much of a struggle.

Wheels on the bottom of this unit make for simple rolling and the bag itself only adds about 11 lbs. to the total weight of you golf clubs/bag combo.

A bit on the pricey side, but in our opinion it’s the best quality soft bag on the market.  You can pick up this Nike Travel Cover Bag up on Golfsmith for around $219.

The CaddyDaddy Constrictor 2

CaddyDaddy Constrictor 2 Golf Bag Travel Cover: For our budget-minded readers, this bag checks off all the necessities on our “must have” list without breaking the bank.

From the overall solid feeling construction to the heavy-duty zippers, this bag provides an overall value far greater than you would be lead to believe looking at the price alone.

The CaddyDaddy comes equipped with durable nylon construction (which users have been saying provides excellent resistance against pulls, rips, and tears), in-line skate wheels for easy transport, heavy pads to protect clubs, and handles for added strength.  Best of all, you can grab it on Amazon for less than $60 and if you’re a Prime Member (grab a free Prime trial here if you’re not), you’ll even qualify for free shipping!

The Samsonite Golf Travel Spinner Wheeling Golf Cover

Samsonite Golf Travel Spinner Wheeling Golf Cover:    Samsonite is one of the premier names in travel bags, luggage, and suitcases, so it’s no wonder their name popped up when we started researching the best golf travel bags.

This excellent travel golf cover is made from nylon with three multi-directional “spinner” wheels which allow the bag to glide effortlessly.

You can get this stylish durable golf travel bag that supports 48” clubs and 10.5” golf bags for less than $100 on Amazon (same Prime shipping bonuses apply).
