A quality travel bag is a must-have for the globetrotting golfer. Your clubs are your prized possessions and taking them away with you can always be a risk, so keep that risk as low as possible with these bags. At Golf Monthly we are all regular golfers and all manage to go on golf trips often and as such we have managed to test a lot of different models out there. 

Therefore we think we are in a good position to pick out the best golf travel bag whilst also giving you advice on the several things to consider. First they have to be strong and able to deal with the trials and tribulations of travel in planes, trains and automobiles. Strong materials, padding, and excellent construction are all vital with models like the Motocaddy and Titleist leading the way here.

Additionally maneuverability is a huge benefit too because awkward travel bags make everything more difficult. Ones that move easily with strong wheels are hugely important which makes the Sun Mountain a top choice. We also think it is good for travel bags to be easy to identify because you never know what can happen in an airport in terms of people accidentally taking your luggage or clubs. As such the Ogio Alpha is one of the best out there and there are plenty of other models with distinctive designs as well.

(Finally we also recommend taking a look at some of our other guides too, such as the best golf luggage , best golf bags , and the best golf tops .) 

The MacGregor VIP II Premium features a cover that can stand up to airport abuse, it’s easy to transport, and it’s an exceptional value at its price.

MacGregor VIP II Premium Travel Cover

Our expert review:

Specifications

Reasons to buy, reasons to avoid.

The VIP II Premium travel cover offers all the durable protection and ease of use of the Deluxe model, with a few extra features for added peace of mind - like additional padding around the top of the cover increases the layer of protection for the clubs, while an internal support strap keeps clubs secure during transit. We cannot stress how much of a difference these little design details make. As some of the best golf clubs can cost a lot of money you're going to want to ensure that your bag has a lot of protection on offer to keep them safe. 

Three heavy duty external straps provide a fail safe seal on the cover and lockable dual zips add a final level of security that makes this travel cover very good value for money. There is also plenty of space to throw in the clothing and footwear that didn’t make it into your suitcase. And to give you an idea of how much space there is, there’s enough to accommodate a 49-inch driver. We should also mention the price because despite having the word Premium in the name, it definitely comes at the value end of the price spectrum which is very appealing to us.

The Sun Mountain Club Glider Meridian Travel Cover pictured at an airport

Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Travel Cover

The superbly-innovative ClubGlider from Sun Mountain will be your best friend when on a golf trip, featuring an integrated leg set that retracts easily and supports all the weight of the bag for easy wheeling on all surfaces. Just like the name suggests, the four wheels simply glide around the airport and this takes away any stress from your back, arms and wrists for when maneuvering it. Additionally when we tested it we found the legs to be very sturdy, akin to many of the best Sun Mountain golf bags and the wheels roll excellently

The padding around the top of the bag is very thick and should mean that there are no accidents with your driver and fairway woods. The bag also comes with two spacious outside pockets, one on either side, that can easily house jackets, coats, jumpers or anything else you see fit to put in there for easy access. Inside the bag, there are two straps to keep your golf bag secured and there’s enough room for plenty more too. Overall we loved this model, it does cost a little bit more than some others on this list but it is well made, performs well, protects your clubs and makes travelling with clubs significantly easier which is a big plus.

The Motocaddy Flightsafe Travel Cover resting on the floor of an airport departure lounge. 

Motocaddy Flightsafe Travel Cover

A versatile travel bag that is perfect if you're looking for more protection for your golf clubs when traveling. Motocaddy are well known for producing some of the best electric golf trolleys and best golf cart bags on the market and their experience in the industry, using top class materials, makes them one of the most trusted brands around. When we tested this bag out, we were very impressed with the protection it offered our clubs. The durable and padded nylon materials made it very protective and we were enamored by the size of the bag. Motocaddy resisted the temptation to make it too big and cumbersome and it is just the right size for all your gear and a pretty chunky bag. 

You'll also be able to fit a pair of the best golf shoes in there too and some clothing or apparel. One of the highlights of this bag was how easy it was to maneuver the bag around the airport thanks to the handy six-wheel design on the base of the bag. In addition, there are both internal and external straps that do a good job of holding your clubs tightly to the bag an addition that really put our mind at ease that our clubs wouldn't move around too much in the bag. There’s no doubt you’ll find more eye-catching flight bags on the market. However, this has a simple, understated but premium look that we liked and it did an excellent job of keeping our clubs well protected.

The BagBoy T-660 Travel Cover resting on grass

BagBoy T-660 Travel Cover

The new Bag Boy T-660 features a wrap-around zipper that opens up the entire front of the travel cover. From there, you simply lay your golf bag in there and, unless it's oversized or severely overstuffed, we found it to be pretty easy to get in and out of the bag. What's more, when folded up and not in use, you can easily fit it into a small space behind the seat of your rental car when you're traveling, or put it in the corner of the trunk. The T-660 also weighs less than 6 pounds, so it's easy to maneuver when not in use and you can store it on a shelf at your house or in your garage without it taking up much space. 

There were other elements we liked in testing - for example it also has reinforced corners, a skid plate, skid bars, and a large front pocket at the bottom for your shoes or outerwear. It also comes with high quality inline skate wheels for smooth rolling. Last but not least we think the price, given the solid performance, offers excellent value, and all of this makes it an ideal option for those golfers who go on trips via the airport. The lightness and strength of the bag ensures you can move it around easily, and yet won't get broken by the most heavy handed airline staff. We would say add a  colorful ribbon or something to a handle though, as it doesn't really stand out that much!

Sun Mountain Kube Travel Cover and its excellent luggage case

Sun Mountain Kube Travel Cover

We are big fans of the Kube. It's an excellent innovation that not only serves its main purpose of protecting your clubs well in transit, but also allows you to collapse it down to a neat size smaller than the average cabin bag (23 x 33 x 38) when not in use via its clever foldaway system. It has a robust hard-case shell with two external and internal straps to keep everything secure on the inside. We also like the reinforced padded area at the clubhead end for added protection. 

The wheels glide well and the case is easy to move around thanks to the handle, not to mention it weighs just 3.08kg/6.6lbs as well. Right now there are several colors to choose from so if the orange and grey isn't for you, you can also get it in navy, green/black as well as a pink/graphite finish. Sun Mountain make many fantastic products, especially when it comes to bags which is why we created a best Sun Mountain golf bags guide too.

Ram Fx golf travel cover review resting on the floor of an airport.

Ram FX Golf Travel Cover

A well-thought-out and user-friendly golf travel cover, the Ram FX is made from a very sturdy ripstop fabric with extra padding across key areas where the golf clubs would be. A large main compartment houses golf clubs and features one main strap to hold your clubs down once they are packed. 

Exterior pockets include one perfectly sized for a pair of the best golf shoes  and a similarly sized pocket we found useful for packing accessories like some of the best golf socks  and belts. Additionally it may seem like a small feature, but we really liked the blue accents on the outside of the bag because it made it very easy to spot when a deluge of golf travel bags get dropped off at the oversized baggage section in the airport. Overall with a lower RRP than some others on this list, this bag easily represents one of the best-value travel bags on the market, but you aren't compromising on that much performance.

Titleist Players Travel Cover being wheeled into the airport

Titleist Players Travel Cover

Featuring two premium skate wheels and a large carry handle, the Titleist Players Travel Cover is very functional and a safe home for your clubs. Having tested it extensively, we were very impressed with the protection and quality it offered. Specifically we felt it dealt with the trials of travel extremely well, with the durable polyester fabric handling bumps, scrapes and such very well indeed.

The bag also comes with a handy strap on the inside that'll hold your clubs in place and it's worth pointing out  that there would be ample space inside this bag for one of the best golf cart bags . But that additional storage space was great for us, as we could place our golf shoes inside the bag along side our clubs, without worrying about our suitcase being overweight. The bag does have a premium feel, but what's more is that it also comes with two premium skate wheels which operate very nicely in and around airports to help you transport your bag without straining too much to carry it. 

That is complimented by a very comfortable handle that is easy to grasp, hold and pull. One down side is that it comes in black only, which in fairness, is fitting for such a no-nonsense, high-quality product, yet may not appeal to those players looking to make a statement when they walk into the airport with their golf clubs.

The Ogio Alpha Travel Cover finished in blue

Ogio Alpha Travel Cover Mid

The Ogio Alpha travel bag is a very roomy option that can store shoes, clothes, balls and still have space left over for a souvenir or two. With all of this equipment in it, we thought it might be overly cumbersome and heavy, but it was a fantastic lightweight option when lifting it into cars, or from an airport carousel. 

That makes it a great cover for golfers looking to put as little strain on their backs as possible and it features two strong wheels that make this bag very easy to maneuver and pull behind you while you're out walking. It features a skid plate on the bottom which protects the bag from any abrasions but is also made of a durable material that is well padded around your club heads for additional protection and structure. 

The D-shaped opening makes it easy to gain access to your clubs and the bag also features some handy compression straps which keep your clubs well secured inside the cover. The last thing to note is the eye-catching colors that the Ogio Alpha comes in. We tested out the Cover's 'Warp Speed' colorway and it was very easy to spot in the airport. But you can also get it in other colors like 'Terra Texture', 'Black', and 'Mid Haze'. In fact this color choice really differentiates it from the competition but you are guaranteed not to lose it in the airport or wherever you are.

Our  testing for golf gear  is built upon a comprehensive process combined with the knowledge and expertise of the Golf Monthly test team. Our team usually attend product launches and then when it comes to our actual testing, we test products over a period of time that we can gauge the performance. For travel bags we do our best to use them when travelling because doing this allows to gauge performance in scenarios that you might face as well. It should also be mentioned that manufacturers cannot pay for a good review and we make our conclusions from the testing and our experiences. This is because we strive to give the best reviews possible so you can get a greater understanding of the products themselves.

How to choose a golf travel bag

As your travel bag will help to protect your golf equipment, there are a variety of factors that you need to consider when looking to pick up a travel bag that's going to keep your clubs safe. So for that reason, we've outlined some key points that you're going to want to think about when you're purchasing your next travel cover. 

1. Strength/durability/materials

Above all else, a travel bag has to protect your golf clubs properly as well as be able to put up with general wear and tear of travel. As a result, the bag should be made from strong, tear-resistant materials, and they should also have some features to protect the clubs on the inside of the bag too like compression straps on the inside and outside, along with foam padding around the top of the bag. The wheels should also be strong and move properly.

2. Maneuverability

Good models are also very easy to move around which means having wheels that slide well and can change direction properly. From a luggage perspective we would recommend four-wheels but with travel bags two-wheels work well because they can be laid on the ground easily. 

Given you will be moving the bag around, weight is very important, especially if a model only has two wheels. Here a fine balance has to be made between lightness and strength because you don't want to compromise on either. Some of the best lightweight golf bags weight literally next to nothing when stored away in a very easy to carry travel bag, so make sure to think about that when purchasing your next cover.

4. Warranty

This is definitely a factor to consider if, god forbid, your clubs and golf gear are damaged or broken. We recommend checking with retailers and manufacturers themselves how long they offer on warranties. The longer the warranty the better! 

Finally have a think about how much you want to spend on a golf travel bag. We think this is not an area to compromise on given they are designed to protect your golf clubs however we do think there are good models that don't have to cost an arm and a leg, as the above models show. For more advice on the best golf bags on the market, take a look at our guides to the best golf travel bags for under $100 , best golf pencil bags and best golf cart bags .

What should you be looking for in a travel bag?

Strength and durability is your starting point. A good travel bag has to be strong and durable to put up with the general wear and tear of travel. This means being made of strong, tear-resistant fabrics, and also having some features to protect the clubs on the inside of the bag too like compression straps on the inside and outside, along with foam padding around the top of the bag. The wheels should also be strong and move properly.

Is weight important for a travel bag?

Given you will be carrying the travel bag around, weight is very important, especially if a model only has two wheels. Here a fine balance has to be made between lightness and strength because you don't want to compromise on either.

Good models are very easy to move around which means having wheels that slide well and can change direction properly. There are several excellent models above with more than two wheels and these are usually the best in this factor, but some two-wheel options move well too, such as the Sun Mountain Kube.

Can I put other golf equipment in a travel bag?

Depending on the weight you're allotted for your transfer or flight, you can sometimes opt to put more equipment in your travel bag, as well as your clubs. You may opt to put your waterproof gear, golf shoes or even some golf clothing in your travel bag. 

What kind of bag do pro golfers use?

From our research we have found the model that Tour players often use is from Club Glove and the official Large Pro model because it is big enough to house Tour golf bags which are the biggest in the game.

Do you need a travel bag to bring golf clubs on a plane?

You don't officially need a travel bag for golf clubs on a plan but it is highly recommended to make sure they are protected and aren't broken during travel.

A durable golf travel bag is essential for protecting your clubs and giving you peace of mind whether you’re traveling by car or airplane to one of the world’s best courses. While there are plenty of storage options for safely traveling with your clubs, we tested the best golf travel bags based on qualities like durability, portability, and capacity. 

Our top pick for the best golf travel bag overall is the Club Glove Last Bag Large Pro golf travel bag, which thoroughly impressed us. The bag is made with durable nylon material with plenty of padding to ensure that your clubs make it to your destination safely. We were able to fit clubs, clothes, golf balls, and other accessories into the bag without any issues. If you’re looking for a hardshell case or a budget-friendly bag, we found options for a variety of categories to fit the needs of all golfers. 

Best Overall

Club glove last bag large pro.

• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Portability 5 /5
• Durability 5 /5

It’s built to last with single webbing reinforcement and burst-proof construction. 

The bag is on the heavier side.

The Club Glove Last Bag Large Pro golf travel bag is one of the best-made travel bags we've seen. Fit for a weekend golf getaway , the bag can comfortably fit a set of clubs in a standard-sized carrier, golf balls, shirts, shorts, towels, and two pairs of golf shoes between the main compartment and two exterior pockets. Despite the 45-pound weight after packing, we thought the balance was evenly distributed throughout the bag and the inline skate wheels rolled smoothly and felt sturdy due to the plastic wheelbase that is designed for high-impact travel. We noted the high-quality feel of the water-resistant nylon material that adds durability to the bag, which truly feels like it will last a lifetime.

The bag is outfitted with self-lubricating YKK zippers and ITW Nexus buckles that come from a manufacturer that makes military-grade hoops, locks, and buckles. An aluminum stiff arm to reinforce the padded protection for impact during traveling is included. We flew with this bag twice in one month of testing and it still looks like it just came out of the box. The durability, functionality, and sleek design of the Club Glove Last Bag Large Pro Golf Travel Bag make it well worth the price for golfers that are planning to travel with their clubs.

Best Budget

Caddydaddy constrictor 2 travel cover.

This bag includes large pockets that can store all of your extra gear.

The sides aren't padded, so you may want to add cushioning to protect your clubs.

For frequent travelers or golfers who want a bag that can store even their bulkiest gear, this CaddyDaddy bag is the perfect option. Not only is the bag itself large enough to store all of your clubs, but we love that it also features side pockets big enough to pack your shoes and even extra clothing. Even with all of this space, the bag still doesn't feel bulky.

Made of thick rubber and nylon, we feel confident this bag won't break, tear, or otherwise fall apart making it a great value. The fabric is also thick and well-stitched. To give you added peace of mind, it comes with a one-year full replacement warranty so you can test it for yourself.

The Details: 27.5 x 18.9 x 14.5 inches | 9 pounds | Wheeled | Nylon and rubber

Most Spacious

Caddydaddy golf club travel cover with wheels.

• Design 4.5 /5
• Portability 4.5 /5
• Value 4.5 /5

The interior has tons of room for clothing or shoes in addition to golf clubs. 

It has straps that are slightly uncomfortable.

The CaddyDaddy First Class Premium Padded Golf Club Travel Cover with Wheels has tons of space for not only clubs, but golf shoes, clothing, and anything else you would ever need on a golf trip as well. Since the golf travel bag weighs just 10 pounds, golfers can pack up to 40 pounds of clubs, clothes, and other accessories before reaching the general 50-pound checked bag limit for most airlines. We loved the spacious side pockets for toiletries and golf shoes, as well as the well-placed straps that can be tucked in during traveling to prevent damage.

The weight of the golf bag is mostly evenly balanced, and the wheels and handles make it easy to carry and maneuver; however, the top handle could have been a little more comfortable. The materials and the zippers of the bag feel durable and well-made. We're confident that this bag would last a very long time and would not be something you'd have to worry about replacing anytime soon.

The Details: 51 x 13 x 15 inches | 10 pounds | Wheeled | Nylon

Best Softside

Sun mountain clubglider meridian travel cover.

• Capacity 4.8 /5

There are fold-out legs in the center with wheels that make rolling the bag even easier.

Travelers might want to consider a stiff arm for added protection.

For golfers looking for a simple yet functional golf travel bag, the Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Travel Cover is a solid option. The design of the bag includes everything you need for hassle-free packing and travel experience, including a spacious interior for a cart or stand bag, two exterior pockets, and a pull-out leg mechanism with an additional pair of wheels besides the ones at the bottom of the bag. We found it very easy to collapse the legs in and out and the bag rolled a lot more smoothly than expected.

The high-quality, durable feel of the handles on the front, bottom, and middle of the bag equally impressed us by making it a breeze to lift and maneuver comfortably. While the nylon exterior material and padding feel sturdy and durable, the bag would likely only protect golf clubs against low-impact hits.

The Details: 51 x 15 x 14 inches | 8 pounds | Wheeled | Nylon

Most Durable

Club glove collegiate travel cover with stiff arm.

PGA Tour Superstore

• Capacity 4 /5
• Design 4.9 /5

It comes with a stiff arm to protect the heads of the clubs.

Packing the clubs was a tight fit with the length.

Traveling by air with golf clubs can be risky considering the potential for rough handling that comes with checking in luggage, but the Club Glove Last Bag Collegiate Travel Cover with Stiff Arm is made of high-quality materials and includes a stiff arm that is designed to protect gear from hard impact. The adjustable stiff arm is made of nylon plastic and lightweight aluminum, and although it doesn’t take up much room, we had to jostle the bag to get the stiff arm in with the golf clubs. With the smaller-sized interior, we appreciated the two large exterior pockets that can fit items like shoes, clothing, or sunscreen. The fully-packed bag is comfortable to carry with top, bottom, and middle straps that evenly distribute the weight of the lengthy bag and we liked how it can stand up on its own.

After flying with this Club Glove design, there weren’t any scuffs or damage to the bag. The exterior of the bag is made of water-resistant ballistic nylon fabric and the backing has single webbing reinforcement — a common fabric used for climbing, military gear, and parachutes. 

The Details: 52 x 14 x 14 inches | 11.3 pounds | Wheeled | Nylon

Best Portability

Izzo golf high roller.

• Capacity 4.5 /5
• Design 4.8 /5
• Durability 4 /5

There are six wheels on the bottom of the bag so it can be rolled upright. 

It feels slightly top-heavy.

The Izzo High Roller golf bag impressed us with how easy it was to transport by wheeling or carrying it. The six wheels on the bottom of the bag make it possible to push or pull it while standing upright. In addition, the bag can collapse down to just 12 inches for easy storage while traveling or at home.

While the bag felt a little top-heavy while being wheeled through an airport, the handles made it easy to lift and hold onto while rolling the bag. Even if the bag were to fall over, it has a solid amount of protective padding on the inside and outside, and it’s made of tear-resistant nylon that feels sturdy and durable. The interior of the bag is large enough for golf clubs and extra shirts, and the exterior pocket is big enough for a pair of golf shoes, but it was a tighter fit than we would’ve preferred. We think the Izzo High Roller bag is perfect for golfers who could benefit from having exceptional portability and durability while traveling through airports.

Dimensions: 53 x 16 x 12 inches | Weight: 8 pounds | Wheels: Yes | Nylon

Best Hybrid

Caddydaddy golf travel bag cover with hard case top.

• Design 4 /5
• Portability 4 /5

Only the top half is hardshell, which makes storing the bag much easier.

It feels top-heavy while carrying.

The CaddyDaddy Enforcer Golf Travel Bag Cover with Hard Case Top is designed with traveling golfers in mind, especially those who live in big cities where storage space is limited. This golf bag has a unique design where the top half is a hardshell case and the bottom half is softside. The half hardshell gives you the protection you want for your clubs and we love how the bag can compress into itself, making it more space efficient for storing when not in use.

The exterior of the bag has two pockets for storing balls or shoes and although there aren’t any pockets on the inside, there was a good amount of room left over for clothes. Though the hardshell top makes it slightly top heavy, the bag maneuvers well on the inline skate wheels at the bottom, while the top, bottom, and center handle make it easy to lift the bag into a car or onto a weight scale at the airport. 

The Details: 51 x 13 x 13 inches | 9 pounds | Wheeled | Nylon

Best Lightweight

Tourtrek tc pro travel cover.

Dick's Sporting Goods

• Durability 4.8 /5
• Value 4.8 /5

It feels lightweight whether it’s being pushed or pulled over a variety of surfaces.

The interior of the bag could be bigger.

The TourTrek TC Pro Travel Cover offers an abundance of protective padding and excellent portability. We think this bag is a fantastic value thanks to durable design and interior space that’s roomy enough for a set of golf clubs and two mesh pockets for accessories, as well as an exterior pocket for a pair of shoes. The cushioning is very generous and the bag feels protective and sturdy with 360-degree padding to keep your golf clubs safe whether you’re traveling by air or car. The handles are padded as well, making them comfortable to hold onto while lifting or rolling the bag. And it includes a lock and key set for an additional layer of security and peace of mind.

Weighing 6.6 pounds, this golf travel bag is lightweight and takes up less of the allotted 50-pound weight maximum that most airlines limit checked bags . While we think the interior could be a little bit bigger, this golf travel bag has high-quality features that lead us to believe it will protect golf clubs and last a long time with prolonged use, too. 

The Details: 52 x 14 x 14 inches | 6.6 pounds | Wheeled | Nylon

Travel & Leisure / Chris Abell

We had our expert product testers and golfers take 19 golf travel bags on the road to find out which ones will keep your clubs safe whether you’re flying or driving. Our testers evaluated the bags by flying, driving, walking around, and carrying the bags and rating various attributes on a scale from one to five based on capacity, design, durability, and portability. 

Our testers packed their golf clubs into the travel bags and noted how easy it was to place the clubs into them and if there was room leftover for clothes, shoes, golf balls, or other accessories between the main compartment and any pockets. While packing the bags, we checked the quality of the zippers and buckles, as well as how much padding there was and if it felt sufficient for protecting the clubs. The bags with the highest ratings for capacity were spacious with extra room leftover, and the best performing bags for design had thoughtful and intuitive features that had golfers in mind and made packing easier.

After packing up the travel bags, our traveling golfers tested portability by carrying and wheeling the bag to get a feel for how it maneuvers. The top performing bags for portability were exceptionally easy to lift and wheel with comfortable, padded straps and handles. Durability of the travel bags was tested when they were transported by airplane or car. Our five-star ratings for durability went to the travel bags that had no damage to the exterior or items on the interior after being used and gave us confidence that they would hold up well with prolonged use. The testers determined that the bags with the best value performed as or better than expected given the price, especially pricier bags that needed robust justification for the cost.

Other Golf Travel Bags We Liked

While there were plenty of well-performing golf travel bags, there were a few listed below that almost made our list of best golf travel bags but fell short during testing. 

Samsonite Golf Deluxe 3 Piece Travel Set : The bag is functional and has a sleek design, but there isn’t much padding and the zippers are plastic, which made us question the durability of the bag while flying. 

Samsonite Hard Side Golf Case : The hardshell feels durable, but there isn’t much give so it was a tight fit to get the golf clubs in, and the case is difficult to store since it can’t break down.

Amazon Basics Soft-sided Golf Travel Bag : This bag is very affordable, but has an unstructured bottom, so it can't stand up on its own.

SKB Cases ATA Deluxe Standard Hard Travel Golf Case : This case was built to withstand a lot of rough handling and includes TSA-approved locks, but can become heavy due to its thick plastic.

Bag Boy Golf T10 Hard Top Cover : For minimalist golfers, this simple bag fits just what you need, but won't give you room for extra equipment or gear.

Other Golf Gear You May Need

When you're heading out for a long day on the course, be sure you're prepared with everything you need from sunscreen to golf gloves to ensure you stay completely focused on enjoying the game.

Titleist Players Flex Men’s Golf Glove: These high-performance gloves are a classic for a reason. The cabretta leather is silky smooth, offering optimal comfort and breathability, so your hands won't sweat mid-swing. Plus, the Satin Net materials across the knuckles provide plenty of flexibility.

Peter Millar Solid Performance Jersey Polo : If you're someone who gets caught up in the game and forgets to reapply sunscreen, this golf shirt is for you. Not only is it made of moisture-wicking materials in 13 vibrant colors, but it provides UPF 50+ sun protection as well, so you can stay safe without even thinking about it.

Adidas Men's Tour360 22 Golf Shoes : These shoes provide excellent cushioning to keep you comfortable all day long, and still feature 11 metal spikes for traction and grip. They're also designed with roomy toe boxes and heel reinforcement to ensure your foot stays in place.

Wilson Sleeveless Club Dress : This stylish golf dress is made with four-way stretch fabric that is breathable and feels good even in extreme heat. It also features hidden and roomy pockets so you can store any essentials you may want ready and on-hand.

Tips for Buying a Golf Travel Bag

Consider buying a stiff arm .

Whether you’re buying a hardshell or softside golf travel bag, a stiff arm can add another layer of protection to your golf clubs. A stiff arm is usually an adjustable metal rod with a plastic disc at the the top of it that extends longer than the driver or longest golf club. The rod is placed into a golf bag to absorb the hit if the bag is tossed around and prevent the clubs from being directly impacted. 

Hardshell versus softside 

When looking for a travel golf bag, you'll want to look at durability and padding. Both hardshell and softside golf travel bags can prevent damage to your golf clubs while traveling and are a worthwhile investment for golfers that travel several times per year. A hardshell suitcase can get more scuffed than a softside golf bag, but you might not need to buy a stiff arm since a plastic case offers a more structured layer of protection. Whereas a softside bag might need extra protection like a stiff arm, it’s easier to store a soft bag than a bulky hardshell case that can’t be folded down. Some airlines will only cover damaged or lost clubs that are in a hardshell case, so be sure to check with the airline to find out the policies. 

Look at the types of wheels

From upright wheels to inline skate wheels, golf bags are created with a variety of options to make transport easier for all types of players. You should look at wheels that will smoothly and easily roll over different terrains without adding weight to the overall bag.

You’ll want to make sure your golf bag and clubs can fit in a travel bag. While you don’t want to squeeze your clubs inside, you won’t want them swimming in a roomy case either. If there is extra room in your travel bag, stuffing the sides with clothes or towels can help keep everything in place, especially if you’re flying. If your club heads can be removed and covered, that can further prevent damage to your gear. 

Every airline will be different but most follow the same policies as regular check-in luggage regarding weight and size limitations. The weight limit for check-in luggage, including golf clubs, is almost always 50 pounds or less. If your bag weighs more, there will likely be a surcharge fee. Airlines also have different restrictions and policies for packing golf shoes or balls in your bag, and coverage for lost golf bags can be dependent on the type of golf travel bag. For peace of mind, consider securing an AirTag holder with a tracker to your golf bag.

Generally, airlines do not pay travelers for damaged golf clubs. Some, like American Airlines , may compensate if the equipment traveled in a hard-sided case that is visibly damaged and was properly packed, but you should always check your specific airline's policies before flying to guarantee safe and secure travel.

TYPES OF GOLF LUGGAGE AVAILABLE

Protecting your  golf clubs  and equipment whilst travelling is a must. We provide an extensive range of full travel bags, backpacks and luggage giving you everything you need to prepare for a golf trip in one place.

Hard-cased golf travel bags can provide protection to your clubs and other equipment during transit.

The addition of wheels and handles makes these bags easier to manoeuvre through airports or streets.

Soft-cased golf travel bags are a popular choice among many players thanks to their lightweight yet durable construction. Built using strong nylon materials, these bags feature integrated padding that cushions your bag while providing added protection against damage caused by drops or bumps en-route. Additionally, most soft-cased golf travel bags come with adjustable straps which help secure the bag in place and reduce the shifting of contents during transport.

Best Golf Travel Bags 2024

Published: 03 November 2022 Last updated: 31 January 2024

Travel Bags Main

If you’re flying with golf clubs, a good golf travel bag is a critical piece of equipment to protect your clubs and make them easy to transport on your next golf break.

Travelling with your beloved (and expensive) golf clubs is not without risk. There is always a small chance golf equipment can be lost or damaged by air travel companies, especially if they don’t have the correct labelling and protection.

A well-made golf travel bag can ease those fears a great deal and the likes of TaylorMade, Callaway, J Lindeberg, Puma and Benross are just some of the big brands who make excellent options.

A good measure of the strength of a material is the denier rating (D). Anything above 1,000 puts it in the elite level when it comes to toughness, making it ideal for protecting your precious gear. And the beauty of a golf travel bag is that they’re large enough for you to fit plenty of clothes, shoes and accessories in, too.

Of course, if you’re in the market for a golf travel bag then you’re probably in the market for a golf break, and we can help with that, too. Head over to our  Golf World Top 100 homepage  to find our rankings of the best golf resorts in  Great Britain and Ireland ,  Continental Europe  and the  World . We’ve also got guides to the places you have to play in the  USA , along with guides to the must-play courses in  England ,  Scotland ,  Wales  and  Ireland .

When it comes to golf travel bags, we’ve done extensive research and testing to provide you with unbiased reviews and recommendations.

I’m Craig, the founder of Fun Golf. Golf has always been my passion, and I work with a team of golf enthusiasts who aim to make the game fun for everyone. With my experience working at Woburn Golf Club, and as an Amazon best-selling author, I’ve had the opportunity to write on a variety of golf topics for different audiences. Our goal is to help golfers have fun and improve their game through this website.

With so many options available, we’ve narrowed down the top 5 golf travel bags to help you choose the perfect one for your needs.

Best Golf Travel Bags: Factors to Consider

Before diving into the top picks, here are some important factors to consider when choosing a golf travel bag:

Strength and Durability

Your travel bag needs to be strong enough to withstand the trials and tribulations of travel, whether it’s on a plane, train, or automobile. Look for bags made from strong, tear-resistant materials, with ample padding and excellent construction.

Maneuverability

A travel bag that moves easily is essential, as awkward bags can make travel even more difficult. Strong wheels and a design that glides easily can make a big difference.

Easy Identification

Make sure your bag is easy to identify, so you can quickly spot it among a sea of luggage at the airport. This can help prevent the risk of someone accidentally taking your bag or clubs.

Best Golf Travel Bags: Top Picks

• Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Travel Cover – Editor’s Choice

The ClubGlider from Sun Mountain features an integrated leg set that supports all the weight of the bag for easy wheeling on all surfaces. The bag simply glides around the airport, taking the stress off your back, arms, and wrists. It has thick padding around the top of the bag to protect your driver and fairway woods, as well as two spacious outside pockets for easy access to jackets, coats, and other items. The bag also has two straps to keep your golf bag secured, and enough room for plenty more.

• Bag Boy T-660 Travel Cover

The Bag Boy T-660 features a wrap-around zipper that opens up the entire front of the travel cover, making it easy to get your clubs in and out. When folded up and not in use, it can be easily stored in small spaces. It weighs less than 6 pounds and has reinforced corners, skid bars, and a large front pocket for shoes or outerwear. The inline skate wheels make for smooth rolling, and the price offers excellent value.

• MacGregor VIP II Premium Travel Cover – Budget Choice

The VIP II Premium travel cover offers durable protection and ease of use, with additional padding around the top of the cover and an internal support strap to keep clubs secure during transit. Three heavy-duty external straps provide a fail-safe seal on the cover, and lockable dual zips add a final level of security. The bag also has plenty of space to accommodate clothing and footwear, and can fit a 49-inch driver.

• Sun Mountain Kube Travel Cover

The Kube is an innovative travel bag that not only protects your clubs in transit but also collapses down to a neat size when not in use. It has a robust hard-case shell, with two external and internal straps to keep everything secure. The reinforced padded area at the clubhead end offers added protection, and the wheels glide well for easy maneuverability. It’s available in several colors to suit your style.

• Ram FX Golf Travel Cover

The Ram FX is made from sturdy ripstop fabric, with extra padding across key areas where the golf clubs would be. The main compartment has one strap to hold your clubs down, and the exterior pockets are perfectly sized for shoes and accessories. The bag has blue accents for easy identification, and it offers excellent value for the price, definatley one of the Best Golf Travel Bags.

How to Choose a Golf Travel Bag

There are several factors to consider when looking at the Best Golf Travel Bags, including protection, weight, maneuverability, and warranty. Above all else, a travel bag has to protect your golf clubs properly as well as be able to put up with general wear and tear of travel. As a result, the bag should be made from strong, tear-resistant fabrics, and they should also have some features to protect the clubs on the inside of the bag too like compression straps on the inside and outside, along with foam padding around the top of the bag. The wheels should also be strong and move properly.

Given that you will be moving the bag around, weight is very important , especially if a model only has two wheels. Good models are very easy to move around, which means having wheels that slide well and can change direction properly. There are several excellent models above with more than two wheels, and these are usually the best in this factor, but some two-wheel options move well too, such as the Sun Mountain Kube.

Warranty is also a factor to consider if, god forbid, your clubs and golf gear are damaged or broken. It is recommended to check with retailers and manufacturers themselves how long they offer on warranties.

Budget is also a consideration when choosing the Best Golf Travel Bags. Travel bags are designed to protect your golf clubs, so it’s not an area to compromise on. However, there are good models that don’t have to cost an arm and a leg, as the above models show.

Golf Travel Bags

Travel bags are essential pieces of gear when playing golf and these models provide excellent protection. In addition, they fold down into an easily transportable size, have handles to facilitate transportation between courses and have handles to make handling them simpler when entering and exiting vehicles.

This premium collapsible golf bag is the choice of Tour stars and can accommodate bags up to 47-inch drivers. It comes equipped with multiple padded handles and inline skate wheels for maneuverability.

Sun Mountain Kube Travel Cover

The Sun Mountain Kube golf travel cover stands out from its competition by folding into itself like luggage for easy transportation and storage when not in use. Additionally, this convenient feature makes transport and storage very straightforward - plus the handle makes toting around even simpler when folded up and unfolded! While not the largest or roomiest bag available it does provide excellent protection for clubs - with plastic shells providing one layer while dense foam padding at the top adds another.

Sun Mountain's Kube golf travel bag is the latest addition to their growing selection of golf bags, combining hard wearing ballistic style fabric with plastic half-shells to provide state of the art club protection during transportation. Padded bag bodies provide extra reinforcement in high wear areas while two-way zippers run the length of its cover for convenient loading/unloading. When not in use this travel bag folds down into a compact cube for convenient storage and weighs only 6.8 pounds which helps avoid additional baggage fees at airports.

The Kube is the most compact and portable golf travel bag available, making it a highly effective means of protecting your expensive pride and joy when traveling. Resembling a suitcase in appearance, its distinct appearance may help prevent its being stolen during your travels.

Sun Mountain ClubGlider Travel Cover

If you've struggled with packing and transporting your golf bag, the Sun Mountain Club Glider Travel Cover was designed to alleviate those struggles. As the lightest soft travel bag capable of packing a full set of clubs while being lightweight enough for air travel, it comes equipped with tons of storage space as well as eight bright colors so it's easier than ever to locate at baggage claim. Furthermore, thick padding helps protect clubs while heavy duty two-way zippers support padlock compatibility ensuring security of the contents of your bag.

The Club Glider covers your entire bag and is attached with an easy snap clip at its base. Constructed from ballistic nylon material and fitted with plastic half-shells to protect your clubs, this cover also comes equipped with an exterior zipper pocket for quick and easy access to keys or small items - plus its legs retract into a plastic tray for effortless travel!

Unlike most golf travel bags, the Club Glider stands out by featuring an ultra-maneuverable wheeled base for easier airport maneuvering. Equipped with padded top protection to safeguard your bag and an internal mold to provide stability as well as exterior pockets to store extra gear, this bag makes an impressionful statement at every airport you travel through.

The Club Glider stands out from other bags because its legs fold into its body when not being used, making it easier to transport through tight spaces or turn corners. Plus, they swivel, so that rolling the bag around in your car won't be an effort!

The only drawback of the Club Glider is its higher cost; however, you get what you pay for. Furthermore, due to its bulkiness it may need to fit into your trunk if your vehicle does not offer enough room.

Ping Rolling Travel Bag

Ping Golf equipment is synonymous with premium golfing gear, and when it comes to traveling with them they understand their need to protect it properly. That is why they created the rolling travel cover designed specifically to do exactly that - designed for cart and stand bags alike and featuring plenty of room for all clubs; made of high-grade material to withstand bumps and bruises during transport - with plenty of protection against bumps.

This cover is less bulky than some of the others on this list, making it easier to transport and store. With six handles that make carrying easier, and its sturdy base made with plastic supports that help protect it against any rough treatment it might experience, this bag makes transportation a breeze. Additionally, its plastic bottom protector helps shield from any potential abrasions or punctures.

Material selection should be one of the key considerations when purchasing a golf travel bag, particularly to protect the clubs inside it and survive airline travel rigors. This bag is constructed using high-grade ballistic nylon that will protect it against bumps and bruises that might occur along the journey.

The Ping Rolling Travel Bag is one of the easiest golf travel covers on this list to use, and does a wonderful job protecting your clubs. Light enough for easy airport maneuverability and able to collapse down to 15" when not in use; with its zipper opening up all around its front face making loading clubs a snap!

This bag is ideal for those searching for something a bit more advanced than what has already been listed here. Although slightly more costly, its construction is superior with extra padding to protect clubs during transportation as well as pockets and security straps to help secure them against loss or theft during their travels.

Club Glove Last Bag Collegiate Travel Cover

Club Glove bags are specifically designed to withstand the rigorous demands of travel. Tour Pros rely heavily on them and it is clear why. Their bags feature plenty of room to accommodate almost any stand or cart bag while still folding into an easily transportable size that fits in trunks or closets when not being used. Zippers, buckles and rivets made from heavy duty materials hold up well over time while the base features high impact plastic that protects its base - this makes the bag more resilient than soft bags with cloth covering their bases alone - more durable. Additionally they boast two separate shoe pockets to store shoes as well as gear!

The Last Bag stands out from other soft golf bags by including TSA-compliant locks for added protection of your valuables. Although it doesn't feature any pockets on its interior, its padding at its neck provides additional club protection - something often neglected with soft golf bags.

The bag is assembled in the United States using quality components designed to withstand travel wear and tear. The main bag body is constructed using Invista Cordura 1000-D water resistant nylon that's up to three times stronger and five times longer lasting than standard polyester, while its handles feature high tensile strength nylon webbing connected by metal rivets for rugged industrial styling. In addition, its interior lining consists of durable ballistic nylon that's both water resistant and antimicrobial; plus this limited lifetime warranty bag accommodates most stand bags up to 47 inches in length!

Best golf travel bags explained

A golf travel bag is a specialised protective case designed for transporting golf clubs during the travel.

It protects the clubs from damage during transit and can also make them easier to transport.

Do you need a travel bag for golf clubs?

While it is not strictly necessary to use a travel bag for golf clubs, it is highly recommended as it provides protection and makes it easier to transport your clubs.

Without a travel bag, your clubs can be damaged during transit, and it can be more challenging to carry and transport them.

Can you put clothes in a golf travel bag?

Some golf travel bags come with additional pockets and compartments for storing clothes and other items.

It’s important to keep in mind that the primary purpose of a golf travel bag is to protect your clubs, so overloading the bag with clothes and other items may increase the risk of damage to your clubs.

How to pack golf clubs in a travel bag?

Here’s how to pack your golf clubs in a travel bag:

• Disassemble the clubheads from the shafts, if possible
• Wrap each clubhead in a protective cover or wrap
• Pack the clubheads in the head compartment of the travel bag
• Pack the shafts in the shaft compartment of the travel bag
• If your bag has additional pockets, use them to store accessories and other small items
• Close the bag and secure the zippers
• Check the bag for stability and balance before lifting and transporting it.

It’s important to ensure that your clubs are packed securely in the bag and not rattling around loose, as this can cause damage to your clubs or other items in your bag.

When buying a golf travel bag, consider the following features:

A hard-case golf travel bag offers several benefits compared to soft-sided bags or other types of travel bags. These benefits include:

• Increased Protection: Hard case golf travel bags are designed with a hard outer shell, which provides increased protection to your clubs during transit. They are particularly useful for protecting expensive or delicate clubs.
• Durability: Hard case bags are often made of strong, high-quality materials that can withstand the hazards of travel and protect your clubs from damage even in rough handling situations.
• Weather Resistance: Many hard case golf travel bags are water-resistant, which can help protect your clubs from moisture damage in wet weather conditions.
• Stacking Ability: Hard case bags can be stacked on top of each other, which is useful for packing in tight spaces or for storing multiple bags in one place.
• Increased Security: Hard case golf travel bags often come with lockable zippers or other security features, which can help prevent theft or accidental damage to your clubs during transit.
• Easy Handling: Hard case bags are often equipped with wheels and handles for easy transport, making them a convenient option for travel.

Overall, a hard case golf travel bag offers improved protection and durability, weather resistance, stacking ability, security, and ease of handling compared to other types of travel bags.

A soft case golf travel bag offers several benefits compared to hard-sided bags or other types of travel bags. These benefits include:

• Flexibility: Soft case golf travel bags are made of flexible materials, which makes them easy to pack into tight spaces.
• Lightweight: Soft case bags are often lighter than hard case bags, making them easier to carry and transport.
• Cost-Effective: Soft case bags are often more affordable than hard case bags, making them a cost-effective option for budget-conscious travellers.
• Increased Storage Space: Soft case bags often have additional pockets and storage options, making it easier to organise and store your golf gear and other essentials.
• Style: Soft case bags come in a variety of colours and styles, which can add a personal touch to your travel gear.
• Packing Convenience: Soft case bags are often easier to pack and unpack compared to hard case bags, as they can be compressed and conformed to fit your clubs and gear.

Look for a bag that is made of strong, high-quality materials that can withstand the rigours of travel.

You want a durable golf travel bag that will provide better protection for your clubs during transit. It will be less likely to rip, tear, or otherwise become damaged during travel, which can help to keep your clubs safe and secure.

A durable golf travel bag will last longer than a less durable bag, which can save you money in the long run as you won’t have to replace it as often.

They also make it easier to transport your clubs, as they will be less likely to break or become damaged during transit. This can save you time and hassle, especially when travelling with your clubs.

Plus, it will give you peace of mind, knowing that your clubs are well protected during travel. You won’t have to worry about them getting damaged or lost, which can help to reduce stress and anxiety.

Make sure the bag is large enough to accommodate your clubs and any other gear you may need to bring with you, such as shoes or gloves.

A golf travel bag that is the right size will provide better protection for your clubs during transit.

A bag that is too small won’t be able to accommodate your clubs properly, which could result in damage during transit. A bag that is too large, on the other hand, can lead to your clubs rattling around and becoming damaged.

When flying with your clubs, it’s important to ensure that your golf travel bag meets the size requirements set by the airline you’re travelling with.

If the bag is too big, you may be required to pay extra fees, or the bag may not be accepted for travel at all.

A golf travel bag that is the right size will make it easier to transport your clubs. If the bag is too big or too heavy, it will be more challenging to carry and manoeuvre.

A bag that is the right size, on the other hand, will be more comfortable and convenient to transport.

Plus, it will be easier to store when not in use. A bag that is too big may take up too much space, while a bag that is too small may not be able to accommodate your clubs properly.

Also, look for a bag that offers adequate padding and reinforcement to protect your clubs during transit.

Wheels and Handles

Consider the type of wheels and handles offered on the bag. Some bags come with inline wheels for easy rolling, while others have a backpack style for hands-free transport.

Wheels and handles are important in a golf travel bag for several reasons:

Wheels and handles make it easier to transport your golf travel bag, especially when it is loaded with clubs and other items.

A bag with wheels can be easily rolled, reducing the strain on your back and arms, while a bag with handles makes it easier to carry.

Bags with wheels and handles are generally more durable, as they are designed to withstand the stress and wear of being transported. This can help to ensure that your bag lasts longer and provides better protection for your clubs.

They are also more manoeuvrable, which is especially important when navigating busy airports, train stations, or other crowded areas. This can help to ensure that your bag stays protected and secure during transit.

Other factors to consider

• Ease of Use: Bags with wheels and handles are generally easier to use, as they are designed to be more convenient and user-friendly. This can make the process of travelling with your clubs more stress-free and enjoyable.
• Accessibility: Make sure the bag is designed in a way that makes it easy to access your clubs and gear when you need them.
• Weather resistance: If you’re travelling in different weather conditions, look for a bag that is water-resistant or has a rain cover to keep your clubs dry.
• Brand: Consider the reputation of the brand and the warranty offered on the bag. Some brands are known for producing high-quality golf travel bags that are built to last.

Golf Club Protection: The Best Golf Travel Bags

Just imagine that you booked your ultimate golf bucket list trip. Maybe you chose somewhere iconice like Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, Bandon Dunes, TPC Sawgrass or Pinehurst.

You’re probably excited beyond belief. A vacation with your friends or family playing the course(s) you’ve always dreamt about playing.

That is, until you start thinking about the travel aspect of it. More specifically, how to travel with your precious golf clubs and make sure they don’t get damaged.

Because let’s face it, if you’re going to play a once in a lifetime course you need to play with your own clubs. This isn’t a time to try out some generic rental set when you’re forking out big bucks for a once in a lifetime round.

Luckily, traveling with golf clubs doesn’t have to be as bad as it seems. While we’ve talked about traveling with your clubs, I want to dive into the best golf travel bags on the market.

There are so many choices out there that if you haven’t bought one yet, I want to make sure you get the right fit for your game. I’m confident after reading this post, you will find the one that will help get your clubs to your dream destination or just safely to your next golf adventure.

Our Picks for Best Golf Travel Bag

• Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Golf Travel Bag – Best Soft Travel Bag for Most Golfers
• SKB Deluxe ATA Golf Travel Bag – Best Golf Travel Bag (Hard Case & Best Premium)
• Caddy Daddy First Class Travel Bag – Best Value Golf Travel Bag

What to Look for in a Golf Travel Bag

If you’re endlessly researching the best golf travel bag, you’ll quickly learn there are a ton of choices out there. From buying locally at a sporting goods store, on Amazon or somewhere else, there is no shortage of selection for golfers.

Key Takeaways

• You need some sort of golf travel case for your golf clubs, shoes, and other accessories on an airline. Do not attempt to check your clubs without a case! 
• There are two types of golf travel bags – hard shells and soft shells. 
• The hard shell cases are more protective but also weigh more which makes them harder to roll. Plus they’re bigger and not as easy to store in your car or garage.
• Soft shell cases are cheaper and easier to travel with. They also offer several versions with a hard shell top, more storage, and a kickstand. 

Here’s what you should compare when picking out your next golf travel bag.

Hard Case vs. Soft Case (Protection)

The first thing you’ll notice about the wide selection of golf bags is the case structure itself. Some have a hard exterior (hard cases) while others have a soft case like a normal piece of luggage. Both have their pros and cons depending on your golf travel needs.

The main pros of soft cases are that they are usually cheaper and easier to transport, especially if you have a smaller vehicle. Plus, they’re a lot easier to store in your garage when you’re not traveling. Hard cases on the other are usually much bigger and heavier but also provide more protection for your golf clubs.

I’ll review the best golf travel bags for both soft and hard shells, so this is more of a personal preference than anything else. Also, some companies make a shell top only that goes on your bag but we don’t recommend this option as it won’t protect your gear like a normal golf travel bag.

Durability & Padding

The next most important factor for picking out your golf travel bag is ensuring it’s durable and has plenty of padding inside to protect your sticks. Some have an internal compression strap system while others don’t or have as much padding on the inside.

Whether you choose a hard shell or a soft shell case, I always recommend a Bag Boy backbone travel cover support system too. This makes it less likely for your stuff to get damaged when handled at airports and thrown into a rental car or shuttle. Make sure you invest in a Bag Boy Backbone to ensure your clubs are protected and not crushed.

The last thing you want to have to deal with when you’re out of town is a snapped driver shaft. Keep your clubs safe and pack accordingly, especially for air travel.

Wheel System

The wheel system is another factor that will help you move around in crowded spaces. Some golf travel bags have spinner wheels while most only have two wheels (more like in line skate wheels) which make it a lot harder to maneuever. When researching your golf travel bag, make sure you consider the wheel system that works best for you.

Another big factor is the price of the bag. You’ll see these golf bags range from pretty inexpensive all the way up to the $500+ range depending on the model and brand you choose. 

Like any golf gadget, price isn’t everything thought. It’s important to find a bag that fits your budget but will also last a long time so you don’t have to revisit this a year down the line. 

Remember, this travel bag will protect the clubs that you probably spent thousands of dollars on. Don’t get cheap now and suffer when something happens to them in transit.

Depending on how frequently you travel, it’s important to get one that is relatively easy to transport back and forth. If you’re older or have some back issues, I recommend getting a lighter, soft shell bag to ensure it’s easy to get them in and out of the trunk. No need to suffer a pointless injury on the way to your golf vacation.

Plus, weight is a big factor for how much it costs to shipping your golf gear as well. Depending on the airline, if you go over a certain limit you’ll have to pay even more money each way. 

Also, it’s important to note unlike bags, these do not come with a shoulder strap and you’ll always have to push or pull it.

External Pockets 

Another important factor is the amount of storage within the bag itself.

This is one area where the soft cases usually win as they have 2-3 extra pockets outside the bag to house golf accessories (like balls, golf shoes) and other equipment. Extra storage is especially helpful if you’re playing somewhere that you might have to battle the conditions (like Bandon Dunes) and need to bring cold weather gear too. 

It’s important to remember to always check airline rules when it comes to the total weight for your golf bag. Usually, if it’s over 40 or 50 pounds, you’ll have to pay an extra $25 to $50 each way (which is a few sleeves of Pro V1s).

The last factor when selecting from our list of the best golf travel bags is the warranty.

You want to make sure the company behind the bag offers a warranty in case something happens (which the odds are a lot higher with air travel). This is more important with soft shell cases as they can get holes and tears while hard-shell bags seem to last a lot longer.

When researching these travel bags, I was surprised that some manufacturers have a warranty that covers incidents related to air travel!

Golf Travel Bag Reviews

Now that you know what you’re looking for before you buy, here are the best golf travel bags for airlines. You really can’t go wrong with any of these products!

1. Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Golf Travel Bag

The Sun Mountain ClubGlider Tour Series golf travel bag is for the serious golfer who doesn’t want to risk anything while traveling. If you’re a very serious player who’s invested a lot (i.e. PXG golf clubs) this is a great bag for you. The overall look plus durability, makes this one of the best golf travel bags for so many reasons. 

• Internal cinch strapping system to keep your bag secure.
• Lightweight – 11.8 pound design. Sort of a hybrid between soft and hard case.
• 4-wheel design unlike most golf travel bags which makes it easy to move around. The pivoting caster wheelers make it much easier to maneuver in tight spaces. 
• It has some of the best protection available and has some of the highest reviews on the internet. 
• Not only is durable but it’s aesthetically one of the best cases to look at with five color choices. 
• No external pockets for additional storage making it tough if you bring extra golf accessories.
• The biggest con for most golfers is the higher price tag as it’s one of the most expensive bags on the market but the quality of this bag is top-notch.

Overall Review

The 4-wheels make transporting it incredibly easy and the extra storage makes it easy to transport all your gear. Some reviews said the release mechanism is a bit stiff when opening and close and the main zipper isn’t that accessible. All in all, the internet didn’t have too many negatives for this epic golf bag.

All color options are great looking and easy on the eyes but with dark colors will withstand the wear and tear of travel. If you can afford it and are a serious jet-setter, this bag is well worth the price.

2. SKB Deluxe ATA Case Golf Travel Bag

The SKB Deluxe ATA golf travel bag looks more like a weapon to take to war more than one to transport your golf clubs. While its design is a bit over the top, it provides the ultimate protection for your clubs. If you’re someone who has aftermarket shafts or expensive clubs like PXG, this case will help you protect your investment more than most. 

• Hard shell case for maximum protection.
• Comes with a TSA locking system for safe travel and allows them to check it easily.
• Durability, durability, durability. This hard shell bag seems unbreakable. It’s made of polyethylene which also keeps moisture and dirt out. 
• The makers of this product are so confident about this case, they offer a $1500 club coverage and a million-mile guarantee.
• High price tag. It’s one of the higher investments on our list but provides incredible durability for your gear. 
• Weight – these golf travel bags weigh in just under 18 pounds before adding clubs. And as the average of clubs and gear weighs another 25-35 pounds, this makes it easy to go over the 40-50 airline weight limit pretty easily. 

The SKB golf travel bag is made of durability and works for both stand bags and cart bags but a little tight with bigger cart bags. They also have a TS lock which makes it more likely to be searched so don’t put too much else outside your bag itself. 

Overall, this is the best hard case on the market with the only con being the weight. Since it’s so heavy, make sure to pack accordingly and weigh it before you show up to the baggage counter. 

You can read our full hands on review of the SKB Deluxe ATA Travel case here .

3. Caddy Daddy First Class Premium

If you don’t need a hard case, the Caddy Daddy First Class Premium is another great choice. It’s lightweight but provides plenty of protection with 1000D Ballistic Nylon construction. 

Inside the case they have 2-layer foam padding to protect your clubs and hopefully avoid a lazy TSA agent. Like the other Caddy Daddy, this travel case has two generous sized external pockets with exterior zipper access. Plus, you can even lock these as well to make sure nothing falls out and keep your gear safe. 

But the main selling point for this travel case is the premium oversized wheels. While there are only two wheels in this case, I’m confident they won’t break anytime soon. The “all season” wheels are larger than most bags and very heavy duty. 

Unlike other bags, this one even has a 2-year warranty as well. Paired with the self-standing wheelbase, internal/external straps, this is a great option for golfers who travel frequently. At only 10 pounds, it has everything you need to protect your sticks. 

• Ultra-durable nylon construction.
• Two year full replacement warranty.
• Large side pockets for extra storage.
• All season, heavy-duty wheels are very sturdy. 
• No hard shell feature. 
• Only one color option.

4. CaddyDaddy Golf Constrictor 2 Travel Cover Bag

The CaddyDaddy Golf Constrictor 2 travel bag is a great bag that I’ve personally used for several years now. I’ve got hands-on experience with this one and they’ve helped get my clubs all over the country including a trip to Pebble Beach and Spyglass Hills. Needless to say, it’s very durable.

Here’s why it’s at the top of our list. 

• Accommodates cart bags and stand bags easily. 
• New internal compression straps to keep your bag secure.
• It’s super easy to fold up and put in a storage cabinet in the garage. 
• Molded luggage tag and business card window to find your bag quickly off the carousel.
• With 3 outside pockets, there is plenty of room to store clubs, shoes, rain gear and more. 
• Another huge pro is the 9 pound design. I’ve never had a problem loading it up with gear and ever going over 37 pounds of total weight. 
• The major downside is the lack of reinforcement around the clubs themselves. There’s very little padding next to the heads themselves so make sure to pack them with extra towels for protection. 

If you’re only traveling a few times a year and want a budget-friendly bag, this is a phenomenal option. It’s pretty inexpensive, it’s lightweight, easy to store and has tons of storage.

This is a great option for most golfers, especially if you have a smaller stand bag. Not to mention, a one-year warranty (which even covers damages caused by airlines). 

If you want more info, check out my in-depth review of the CaddyDaddy Golf Constrictor 2 .

5. Himal Soft Sided Golf Travel Bag 

Similar to the CaddyDaddy option is the Himal golf travel bag . It’s also a soft shell, all black design that is great for transporting your clubs. If you’re a golfer who doesn’t travel much and don’t want to spend an arm and a leg, this is a great choice for you.

• Heavy duty velcro carrying handle.
• One external pocket for additional shoe storage.
• Business card holder on the front of the bag for easy verification.
• Made with 600D polyester oxford materials which is very durable. 
•  Warranty information. Unlike others on this list, the warranty length was a little gray and couldn’t find specifics for total warranty length.

This bag isn’t fancy by any means but for a casual traveler, it has everything you need to get your golf gear from A to B. While not as luxurious as Sun Mountain and others on this list, it’s very affordable and still a lot better than a travel cover.

6. AmazonBasics Soft-Sided Golf Travel Bag

At this point, I’m convicned Amazon basically makes every item imaginable, including a great golf travel bag. When they notice an item is consistently selling they’ll create their own “Amazon Basics” model for it, including a low-priced golf travel bag.

The AmazonBasics soft-sided travel bag is very affordable and has a ton of perks for such a low-priced golf bag.

• One of the few freestanding travel bags. When your bag is inside, you can rest it upright or lay it flat. 
• Aside from the price, the biggest pro is the durable nylon fabric and ability to stand on its own even when clubs are inside. 
• This bag has a ton of storage with two massive outside pockets. Plus, it has a ton of padding to protect your clubs too. 
• A few negative reviews (what few there are) talk about wheels falling off and ripping relatively easily. Luckily, users have gotten replacements but it’s still more work and hassle for you if a wheel pops off or need a replacement. 

At such a low price, it’s a great buy with little risk as the investment is so small. Overall, it’s ranked very high by golfers worldwide and a great choice if you’re not traveling often.

7. Founders Club Golf Travel Bag 

The Founders Club travel bag is another top choice among golfers, not to mention its great looking and easy to spot. The soft shell case is made of a very durable material and there is a ton of padding to make sure your clubs travel safe.

• One-year warranty.
• External shoe accessory pocket.
• Easy to transport with dual in line skate wheels. 
• Heavily padded handles that make it easy to grab off the belt or lift out of the car.
• Customizable embroidery panel. You can remove a small part of the bag and get it customized with your name, logo, etc. This will help you spot it quickly and ensure no one accidentally takes your bag. 
• While the external pocket is great, there are also two internal pockets as well. These are great for rain gear, extra towels, and more. Plus, an internal strap to keep your bag secure.
• Only one color choice (light gray) could get dirty quickly. Otherwise, this is an excellent bag.

Founders Club has become a go-to name with cart and stand bags so it makes sense to roll out a golf travel case in their product line. This is one of the most stylish travel bags on this list, very moderately priced, and has a ton of storage for your gear. 

If you like the style but want even more protection, make sure to check out the Founders Club Hard Shell cover bag . It has the same bottom style in a soft shell case with a hard top, making it truly unique and helps you get the best of both worlds. 

8. Caddy Daddy Enforcer Hard Top

If you need a heavy-duty travel case, you will love the Caddy Daddy Enforcer . The hard top design makes it one of the most protective cases on our list but not too heavy either. 

What’s great about this case is that it’s not a 100% hard shell, like others on this list. Instead, just the top part is hard while the middle and bottom section is made with strong fabric. This gives it maximum protection  without  making it too heavy and hard to drag around the airport. 

The case also has both internal and external straps to keep your gear locked in. This will help make sure they don’t rattle around too much during a bumpy drive or turbulent flight. 

The Enforcer Hard Top also features inline skate wheels (only two) but does some with extra pockets. These large pockets make it easy to store extra shoes, apparel, and more. 

But the best part of this premium travel case?

The case folds up so that the bottom fits inside the top hard shell portion.  This makes it easy to store in your garage or even a small closet if you live in an apartment. It looks like a traditional bowling ball bag as it’s so small and even has a handle on the top. 

This case weighs 10 pounds and measures at 51 x 13 x 13 inches. While it’s a higher price tag than some, it’s 100% worth it and consider it to be a nearly perfect travel bag. If you’re a road warrior, this is the best travel case for you! 

• Tons of internal padding to protect your golf clubs.
• The case folds up for easy storage despite a hard shell top.
• Hard shell and soft shell design is perfect for serious travelers but not too heavy either. 
• The lightweight design ​​won’t make you pay extra airline fees by going over the weight limit. 
• Only two in-line skate wheels. 
• Pockets on the outside seem a little small.

9. Club Glove Last Bag

The Club Glove Last Bag is another trusted golf bag that is used and trusted by tour pros so it had to make this list. This tour series bag is made of CORDURA, which is much more durable than nylon and provides a ton of protection for a soft shell case. Plus, it’s so big it makes it easy to transport tour and cart bags with ease.

• It’s made in the USA and everything from the material to the zippers and clasps are made with super high-quality material. 
• It’s super easy to get your stuff in and out and there’s one main zipper. 
• Huge color selection. This travel bag comes in 16 colors so it makes it easier to identify it in the airport carousel.
• When it comes to soft shell cases there really isn’t much wrong with this as far as storage, weight, and looks go. 
• The only downside is the price. As with the Sun Mountain, this is one of the most expensive golf travel bags available.

The Club Glove last bag is legit and easy to see why it’s trusted by the best golfers in the world.

There is also a Club Glove Last Bag XL Tour pro version that’s even bigger and offers all the same benefits. Plus, at only 9 pounds it’s still incredibly light and easy to transport with ultimate protection, especially at the top of the bag.

Both of these models are great golf travel bags but they aren’t cheap. If you’re looking for a reliable bag and travel frequently with a cart or tour bag, this one’s for you. Remember, don’t skimp on quality for price when it comes to protecting your sticks!

10. Samsonite Golf Hard-Sided Travel Case

Some players prefer choosing functionality over aesthetics and the Samsonite Hard Sided Travel Case is a very heavy duty. While it isn’t the best to look at it, it is extremely durable and has plenty of extra storage for all of your equipment. This hard shell case will get your stuff from A to B safely!

• Five year manufacturers warranty.
• Three color choices (black, navy, and titanium).
• Even though it looks heavy and bulky, it is very lightweight and durable solid.
• Inside the hard case travel bag is a padded quilted interior with extra foam cushioning on top to protect club heads (huge benefit over most cases).
• Very easy to move around. With four multi-directional spinner wheels and two inline skate wheels allows the case to be pushed or pulled.
• Internal compression straps secure the bag inside the case to ensure your clubs are secure.
• Accommodates larger 10.5″ top golf bags with longer, 48″ clubs (that’s three inches normal than a standard, off the rack driver).
• There aren’t many downsides but price is important and it’s not cheap. It’s roughly 2-3X the prices of some of the other choices on this list.
• Appearances. Personally, I’m not a fan of the look because it’s bulky and kind of generic looking but at the end of the day, it’s easy to move and will keep your clubs safe.

I won’t lie, this heavy-duty bag won’t win any awards for appearances but it’s one of the best hard case options. It looks more like a rolling coffin but I am 100% confident that your gear will stay safe en route to your destination. The ABS Shell shields your bag and clubs from the wear and tear of travelling. 

Plus, this is one of the few options that allows longer clubs as well. With quality materials and packing features, this piece of luggage can take your clubs is a solid choice.

11. Samsonite Golf Deluxe 3-Piece Travel Set

If you’re skipping hard case golf travel bags because they aren’t as fashionable, I think you will love the Samsonite Golf Deluxe 3-piece travel set . Not only do you get a good-looking bag, this golf travel case also comes with a matching duffle bag and shoe bag too. 

• Six two-tone color choices that won’t get dirty or worn down easily.
• A Duffel bag makes a great carry-on bag that you can use year round.
• Sealed ball bearing inline skate wheels allows for the case to be pushed or pulled.
• Inside features a padded quilted interior with extra foam cushioning on top to protect club heads.
• Made with lightweight and durable polyester that shields your bag and clubs while still looking good!
• Functional shoe bag with mesh ventilation windows to help prevent moisture buildup, and large enough to accommodate two pairs of shoes (up to to size 13).
• Smaller size than most bags. If you have added length to your woods, they might not fit. 
• While the material looks sturdy, some reviewers on Amazon had a different experience. 

One thing I like about this choice is the matching shoe bag and duffle bag. Plus, all the colors are great looking and appear to have been made with high-quality material.

Looks aside, the bag seems highly functional with the extra foam cushioning to protect club heads. Plus, you can push or pull the bag around the airport easily. 

12. Athletico Padded Golf Travel Bag 

The Athletico padded soft cover bag is one of the most affordable options on the market. For a quick weekend trip, I think this is a solid option but for longer destinations, another bag could work better. 

• 5mm of padding throughout, to help protect your golf clubs during transit.  
• Easy to carry. A padded shoulder strap further allows you to carry the bag through crowder airports with ease.
• 600D polyester and feature a vinyl base to protect the bag from scuffs and abrasions. 
• One color choice but the material seems sturdy. 
• Zero external pockets. Where are you supposed to put your extra gadgets and shoes? On the exterior of the bag, the only thing is the strap and name tag. If you’re a golf hoarder and pack heavy, probably not the one for you. 

This soft bag doesn’t look like it’s the most protective but reviews about it have been glowing. Ideally, I think this option is best for a lightweight stand bag not a staff bag. For a quick trip, this one can work but with no outside pockets, you probably have to use your luggage space to carry some of your gear.

If you’re on a budget, you may want to seriously consider this option. Plus, if you need to keep moving through a busy airport, you can throw this on your shoulder and get moving.

FAQs about the Best Golf Travel Bag

Do you have more questions about finding the right travel bag? If so, we got you covered. 

Where should I buy my travel bag?

I think Amazon is always the best place as so many people are Amazon Prime members you can get your stuff delivered quickly. In most cases, you can get your brand-new travel bag in less than two days and in some instances, same-day delivery.

So if you notice your old golf bag has a hole or is looking a little worse for wear, you can easily replace it quickly. Plus, with Amazon’s generous return policy, you can return it if you don’t love it after opening the box. If you take it out of the box and think the material is too thin or a wheel is too loose and could fall off, imagine how bad it will do when a baggage carrier is tossing it around. 

How much should I spend on my golf travel bag?

As you probably know by now, golf is not a cheap sport but it’s so addicting, most golfers will do and spend whatever it takes. While I can’t determine how much you should spend on a bag, I think the total price comes down to what type of travel you plan on doing.

If you’re the type of golfer who is going to travel frequently, you should splurge on a bag that will protect your equipment above all else. Looks don’t matter with a travel bag like they do with a normal stand or carry bag. For avid travelers, protection above all else. 

You also want to make sure it is well under weight limits, so you don’t have to constantly worry about that each time you go to the airport. There’s nothing worse than having to move stuff around so you don’t have to pay extra baggage fees. 

If you’re someone who is only going somewhere 1-2x per year, you can choose a more budget friendly, soft sided bag. While they don’t offer quite as much protection as a hard sided bag, each one above is a quality golf travel bag. Plus, you’ll save 50-75% depending on your choice. 

What are the best ways to pack your clubs?

Regardless of the bag you pick from this list, make sure you use these tips to ensure you end up getting your clubs to the destination safely.

• To protect your club heads, detach your driver and fairways woods if they are adjustable. Then, store them in the pockets of your bag itself or in a separate, checked bag to save room and reduce weight.
• Use towels or bubble wrap for irons or other clubs. Even though it’s more work, you can ensure they don’t get scratched during travel.
• Double-check the weight of your travel bag before you go to the airport. Also, make sure to confirm with the airlines how much weight is allowed per bag so you don’t have to pay extra. 
• Avoid putting anything expensive in your bag in case it gets lost (for example, GPS watch, expensive rangefinder, golf GPS, etc.). Losing your clubs is already a huge pain so don’t compound it by having other valuables inside. 
• Always take pictures of your gear before you go to the airport. This way you have documentation in case anything happens in transit.
• Use a stiff arm if you are worried about using a soft sided bag. A stiff arm is a few inches longer than your driver and will create a more sturdy outer shell. 

These tips with the right golf travel bag should help protect your clubs from normal wear and tear. For more traveling tips and information, check out our full guide on How to Travel with Golf Clubs or go here for a full golf trip packing lis t.

My Experience 

I make several flights per year where I carry my clubs and flying with golf clubs is always a little stressful, even if it’s only an hour-long flight. We’ve all seen too many videos of airline employees throwing clubs around when loading into a plane. Since golfers spend months if not years creating the “perfect set” of clubs, it’s easy to get slightly concerned. 

My best tip to ease your anxieties is to make sure to buy one of the bags on this list so your case is protective. Next, I always pack my clubs strategically with towels between my irons/wedges/woods. It’s also not a bad idea to unscrew your adjustable woods and keep them in a larger pocket. 

Lastly, I always make sure my bag is under airline weight at home to avoid any chaos at the airport. I will also put an Apple AirTag in my bag so I can always track my clubs too. 

Final Thoughts on Best Golf Travel Bags

Regardless of whatever bag you choose, selecting the right travel bag is all about protecting your clubs and finding the right one for your budget. Not all golf travel bags are created equal and I think it’s a great idea to grab a Bag Boy spine as well.

If you’re going on a golf vacation, your number one priority is to make sure they ended up at the destination safely. A broken wood or iron shaft can ruin your mood and experience that you might have spent a lot of money on.

Whether you’re looking for a soft or a hard cases, make sure to do your research. Each golf club case should get your clubs safely but personal preference, budget, color, style, and features will play a factor as well. Not to mention, some of these store easily in your house or garage while others could take up a lot more room. 

Also, you want to ensure the inside of the bag has plenty of protection for your clubs. Don’t forget to factor in your golf bag as well. If you have a cart bag, you might need to get a large carry case or hard case as the smaller, more budget friendly ones won’t fit. 

Pick up one of these golf travel bags, book one of those lifetime golf trips and start enjoying golf more than ever before.

Are you looking for a golf travel bag to safely transport your clubs and other golf gear? If so, consider the list of travel golf bags available on eBay. Coming in various different styles, colours, and sizes, they are bound to offer a completely new experience in terms of both functionality and budget. Why not search through the wide range of both new and used travel golf bags for sale on eBay.

There is a large number of popular golf bag brands available on eBay. The extensive list of brands includes, but is not limited to, Callaway, Mizuno, Motocaddy, Ping, Sun Mountain, Titleist, Masters, MacGregor, Longridge, and TaylorMade travel golf bags. Bear in mind that some of the features, functionality, and the price can vary depending on the specific manufacturer. However, you can find rather cheap travel golf bags that are also highly functional, thus offering the best of both worlds. See the manufacturer site for details.

There are two types of travel golf bags, hard-cased and soft-cased. Hard-cased travel bags are heavier, but they provide additional protection. Soft-padded bags also provide sufficient protection, but in a lightweight alternative. Material choices include canvas, cotton, faux leather, leather, nylon, and polyester. Some materials can be rather durable, but heavy, so make sure you find a balance between maximum protection without prohibitive weight.

Travel golf bags come in a wide range of designs and offer the following features:

• Divider system: A golf bag divider makes sure you keep your clubs and other golfing equipment stored safely. Moreover, there are additional pocket dividers for storing golf accessories. There are deep pockets, tee pockets, fur-lined pockets, and drink pockets where you can stash your cold drinks.
• Dual strap system: The dual strap shoulder system is designed to provide even weight distribution and added security.
• Stand mechanism: Some golf travel bags feature a built-in stand mechanism because they are not designed to be carried around the golf course. They offer great stability and added protection to your golfing equipment.
• Waterproof: Some golf travel bags are made from waterproof material, or they feature a rain protection cover for additional protection of your clubs and accessories.

Appealing to a wide range of tastes, travel golf bags come in a number of different colours and styles. Colour choices available include black, white, red, blue, yellow, grey, and green.

Best Golf Travel Bag 2023

by Independent Golf Reviews

We love traveling to play golf and have tested a lot of golf travel bags over the years. In 2023, we found that the Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Travel Bag is the best golf travel bag.

Golf travel bags should keep your golf clubs safe when you’re traveling. They need to offer that protection, or they’re not doing their job.

Also, golf travel bags must be made from durable material. If the travel bag is easily damaged, your golf clubs don’t stand much chance in transit.

And because you use them when traveling, golf travel bags need to be mobile. You can’t be lugging around a heavy travel bag while on the road. Therefore, the best golf travel bags should have wheels for excellent maneuverability.

The Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Travel Bag offers exceptional protection for your golf clubs. You can rest easy knowing that your clubs will be safe in this travel bag.

It’s made from high-quality materials, so it passes the durability test. We all know how bags can get beat up in luggage handling. However, the Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Travel Bag is solid and tough. You don’t need to worry about it – or your clubs – getting damaged.

With this travel bag, you can glide around the airport with ease. It’ll give you no problems maneuvering it in crowded spaces.

The Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Travel Bag is the best overall travel bag in 2023. Sun Mountain has become known in the golf world for its quality products. And this is a quality golf travel bag.

To protect your clubs, it has thick padding around the top. This keeps your driver and fairway woods safe when your clubs are in transit and on the airport carousel. As the longest clubs in the bag, they’re in most danger of breaking when you travel. However, the Sun Mountain ClubGlider ensures you can travel with peace of mind. Two interior straps also keep your golf bag secure, helping with overall protection.

The best golf travel bags also make going on golf trips easy. They should lessen the burden of traveling with a full golf bag.

This one features an integrated leg set. You can choose between using two wheels or four wheels. For your convenience, you can retract the extra wheels when not needed. The wheels on this travel bag offer you excellent maneuverability. You can glide through the airport easily without being weighed down by a cumbersome travel bag.

We like the storage this travel bag offers. You can store accessories or jackets in the two spacious outside pockets. And inside the travel bag, there’s plenty of room for your golf shoes or anything else you want to take with you.

The Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Travel Bag is a top-class premium travel bag.

2. Callaway OGIO Alpha Travel Cover (Runner-Up)

The Callaway OGIO Alpha Travel Cover is a worthy runner-up in the battle for the best golf travel bags. It’s not as heavy as the previous option, but it offers great protection for your clubs.

The 900D polyester fabric is durable and can take some knocks when you’re on golf travel. However, the protection on offer keeps your valuables and clubs safe. Dense foam padding around the top gives this travel bag a sturdy structure. And a skid plate on the bottom protects it from damage.

With two wheels, this travel bag is mobile and easy to pull along. It’s not too heavy and doesn’t strain your body much. You can get through the airport quickly, pulling this travel bag.

It offers you plenty of storage as well, with two exterior storage spaces. You can slot your golf shoes in here or any other accessories you might want to take.

3. SKB Deluxe Standard ATA Golf Travel Case (Best Hard Case)

The SKB Deluxe Standard ATA Golf Travel Case is the best hard-case option. This is a heavy-duty bag and will protect your clubs no matter how you’re traveling.

This travel cover is incredibly durable because it is made from ultra-high, molecular weight polyethylene. It’s sealed to prevent dirt, dust, and moisture from getting in, offering fantastic protection for your clubs. This hard-sided bag gives you the ultimate peace of mind while traveling for golf.

The cover is molded to fit cart bags, stand bags, or carry bags. This form-fitting design accommodates the vast majority of today’s most popular golf bags. So, it’s unlikely you’ll have a golf bag that doesn’t fit into it.

4. OutdoorMaster Padded Golf Travel Bag (Best Value)

The OutdoorMaster Padded Golf Travel Bag is the best value golf travel bag. This bag has excellent padding that will protect your clubs when you travel. The material is waterproof and wear-resistant, giving you that extra protection and durability.

Extra foam cushioning ensures your club heads have more protection. That’s great news because this area can be more vulnerable to damage.

You’ll have no problem traveling with this golf travel bag. In-line skate wheels make it extremely easy to get around when you’re on the move. Also, it has a shoulder strap and multiple handles, so it’s easy to lift when needed.

There’s loads of room on offer here for storing other items. Each pocket on the sides might as well be a shoe bag. And there’s plenty of space inside the travel bag itself to store extra items.

5. Himal Soft-Sided Golf Travel Bag (Best Budget)

The Himal Soft-Sided Golf Travel Bag is the best budget-friendly bag. This soft-sided travel bag is made of premium 600D, heavy-duty polyester oxford fabric. It’ll protect your clubs at a great price.

This golf travel bag has an excellent wheel system. You can glide through the airport effortlessly with this travel bag. And you can change direction without the wheels jarring, so you can easily get through a crowd when in a hurry.

It comes in a universal size, so you’ll have no problems fitting your golf bag into it. Also, there’s plenty of space left over to store other items. And external compression straps keep everything compact and secure.

6. Club Glove Last Bag Large Pro (Tour Trusted)

The Club Glove Last Bag Large Pro is a tour-trusted golf travel bag. Tour pros like Rory McIlroy and Dustin Johnson use these golf travel bags.

It is spacious and sturdy and will protect your clubs when you travel. That’s why the pros trust it. They can’t afford their custom clubs to get damaged in transit to a tournament.

In-line skate wheels allow you to get around effortlessly. The smooth-rolling wheels glide along and don’t make too much noise.

It’s easy to load this travel bag with your golf clubs. An over-the-top zipper gives you quick access, so you can pack your clubs in no time. Once your clubs are inside, you can make everything secure and compact with three external straps.

7. Samsonite Golf Hard-Sided Travel Cover Case (Alternate Hard Case)

The Samsonite Golf Hard-Sided Travel Cover Case is a great alternate hard-shell option. The solid and durable ABS shell keeps your clubs safe and secure.

A quilted interior with extra foam cushioning at the top helps to protect your club heads. Internal compression straps allow you to secure your golf bag inside the case. It won’t move around, limiting the chance of anything breaking.

Four spinner wheels combined with two in-line skate wheels allow you to wheel this golf travel bag in any direction. It’s great having such amazing maneuverability when you’re traveling for golf.

8. CaddyDaddy Constrictor Padded Golf Travel Bag (Alternate Value)

The CaddyDaddy Constrictor Padded Golf Travel Bag is a fantastic alternate option if you want value for money. At the top of the bag, it has a north pole golf protector. This guards your driver and fairway woods against potentially damaging impacts.

This soft-sided golf travel bag is more lightweight than other bags. However, it still offers adequate protection. The top of the bag is heavily padded, so it absorbs any impact when baggage handlers are loading your travel bag.

In-line wheels make this travel bag easy to maneuver. Combine that with the lightweight construction, and this is one of the easiest golf travel bags to take on a trip.

9. MacGregor VIP II Premium Travel Cover (Great Security)

The MacGregor VIP II Premium Travel Cover gives you great security when traveling for golf. You can seal the cover with three heavy-duty external straps. You’ll be confident in the security that provides for your clubs. Also, lockable dual zips add an extra layer of security for other belongings you may be traveling with.

This travel bag is durable and offers good protection. Additional padding at the top of the cover gives your clubs more protection. And an internal strap holds the clubs in place, giving you even more security.

Space is important in golf travel bags, and this one has plenty of space for other items. You can easily fit in other golf equipment or extra clothing.

10. Amazon Basics Soft-Sided Golf Travel Bag (Alternate Budget)

The Amazon Basics Soft-Sided Golf Travel Bag is a good alternate budget option. Some travel bags can be very expensive, but this one comes at an excellent price.

It’s made from durable nylon fabric, so it’ll stand up to the rigors of travel. Also, reinforced stress points give it some extra protection.

This is a freestanding travel bag, meaning it’ll stand upright even when your clubs are inside. That’s handy because you don’t have to keep setting it down and lifting it again when you’re moving.

This travel bag has good padding, with the top being heavily padded to protect club heads. Also, compression straps inside keep your clubs secure.

Two large pockets on the outside give you ample storage room. These are zippered so you can store your golf gear securely.

WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A GOLF TRAVEL BAG

When buying a golf travel bag, you should look for protection, durability, wheels, weight, interior straps, storage, and price.

Protection is the main thing you want in the best golf travel bags. They must protect your golf bag and golf equipment. If not, they’re pretty much useless.

We all know that baggage handlers aren’t going to carefully set your travel bag down. They just throw it on and grab the next item of luggage. Therefore, the best golf travel bags must protect your clubs.

You also want a good golf travel bag to be durable. If it’s not durable, you can’t have confidence that it’ll protect your clubs.

Also, you want it to last you for a long time. It’s no good having to buy a new travel bag for every few golf trips.

All the best golf travel bags have wheels these days. They make it so much easier for you to travel with your golf bag and equipment.

And you want the wheels to last as well. A broken wheel can make your golf trip much more work than you’d like. In-line skate wheels are a great option because they’re more protected than standard wheels. Also, they roll smoothly, making your walk through the airport effortless.

You should look at weight when buying a golf travel bag. If it’s too heavy, it’ll cause you hassle when you’re traveling. You don’t want to be lugging a heavy bag around, especially if you travel a lot for golf.

Also, you don’t want to injure your back with a heavy travel bag. You’ve got golf to play, after all.

Interior Straps

A travel bag with interior straps gives your golf bag more security. Your golf bag won’t move around inside your case, and that means your clubs won’t jerk around either. That security limits the chances of something breaking.

Storage is essential to look for when buying a golf travel cover. It’s not enough just to have enough space for your clubs. You need space for other golf accessories as well. Our favorite golf travel bags always have a good amount of storage. Maybe you’re playing some hard courses and need to take some extra golf balls on your golf vacation.

You should look at the price because you want a bag that meets your needs but fits into your budget. Golf travel bags widely range in price, so you need to consider the price.

If you go on a golf vacation once every few years, you may not want to buy a premium option. However, that’d make sense if you travel a lot for golf.

And that’s everything you need to know about golf travel bags. You have some excellent options to choose from in 2023.

The Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Travel Bag is the best overall. It gives you exceptional protection and security. And the high-quality material is extremely durable.

The wheels work great, and there’s plenty of storage available. Whether you have a stand bag or a cart bag, it’ll easily fit into the best golf travel bag in 2023.
