10 Best Golf Bags on Amazon, Reviewed by Experts

What’s going to work for most people hitting the course is this: Mizuno’s BR-D3 is an incredible all-around bag, a perfect bridge between a big tour bag and a lighter-weight carry bag. The four-way top can fit a full fourteen-club set. The eight pockets are great for gear hoarders who come to the course loaded up, and the insulated drink pocket is something we don’t normally see at this size, price, and weight.

It’s the size and weight—about 4.5 pounds with a solid two-shoulder carry strap—that make this our favorite overall bag, really. Most golfers walking a course can do so pretty easily with this thing. We love the four-point adjustment and padding across the straps.

All that said, it’s got a rubberized bottom and a back strap if you want to use it as a cart bag. See? All around, it’s a great pick.

All right, big dog, if it’s a tour bag you want, it’s a tour bag you’ll get. For us, the giant logo and beefed-up accents are a bit much, but we like to walk a course anyway. If you’re a cart guy, consistently spring for a caddie, or use an intern as a caddie during work games (do y’all still do that?), nothing’s going to beat this Titleist tour bag.

The six-divider top makes sure clubs aren’t getting stuck on each other on the way in or out. The five pockets have plenty of space for whatever you want to bring. And although I said the branding and finishing are a bit much, I really do appreciate the leather trim on this one.

Cleverly named brand Sunday Golf makes...pretty good Sunday bags. And you’ll find our favorite par-3 bag on Amazon.

First of all, this bag is lightweight, clocking in at two pounds. Unlike some Sunday bags, though, it’s still got a stand, which is a big deal when you don’t have the luxury of a cart. The two-divider top isn’t the perfect size for par-3 courses; we’ve found it to be a tad big for a super-light carry. But that sometimes works in its favor. If you’re traveling and only going to play nine holes somewhere, you can stuff a few extra clubs inside for a slightly-more-than-bare-bones sort of setup.

On top of that, the two pockets are decently sized and keep your valuables separate from your balls, tees, and markers. As far as par-3 bags go, this is an excellent one.

For the city-living, fashion-forward golfer, we love this option from Tourbon. For one, it’s just a solid Sunday bag—nicely sized, good-looking, and durable. It costs a tad more than other Sunday bags, but it looks better and you get a few luxury touches. The rain cover has a soft fleece interior, with leather trim and brass hardware.

Its real benefit is its ability to fold up, though. The bag has structure at the bottom, but through most of it, the weight of the thick twill fabric is what keeps it upright. So if you need to pack it away in a closet or box under the bed, you can just roll the top down to compress the bag.

That aside, not having a stand is a serious knock on a carry bag for us. It’s great for the driving range or city living. But if you’ve got a bit more storage space, get one with a stand.

This isn’t a bag per se, but people are always asking us about a good travel cover. It’s a tough product to make well. It has to be easy on the clubs while also being both sturdy and lightweight. The platonic ideal is this one from Tumi, but it costs a rack.

As far as Amazon options go, we’re really impressed with this one from Bag Boy. The T-660 is sturdy where it needs to be and soft where it can be, balancing durability and weight nicely. The wheels glide pretty smoothly for airport travel. And even though you’ll have to check it, there’s enough to protect it from baggage claim’s not-so-gentle practices.

If that first Mizuno is a tad too heavy for you, the BR-D2 can be a decent fix. It cuts down on weight with a slimmer build, shorter legs, and no frills. Plus, it’s still got the hallmarks of Mizuno golf gear: meticulous design, solid construction, and a not-too-professional team look.

The reason the other bag edged out this one for our overall spot is its performance as a cart bag. The extra pound doesn’t change the carrying experience, but the extra space massively improves the cart experience.

Another tour bag we love is this one from TaylorMade. There’s nothing that makes it any more or less functional than the Titleist we featured earlier. What makes this one worthy of a shout is the all-black option. It gives you all the performance benefits of a tour bag without making you look like a totally wannabe tour player. The logo is still there, but it’s more low-key in a monochrome black design.

Also worth noting here is its full fourteen-divider top. If you’re frequently hauling a complete set of clubs, this is a good bag for the job.

Even though I just trashed the idea of looking like a billboard with a tour bag, I will say...it’s okay to have a degree of brand loyalty. Some of us are so enamored by old-school Tiger that we want Nike everything. (We don’t recognize Sun Day Red but are glad he is doing his own thing.)

Apart from the all-in-on-Nike look, this is just another solid carry-slash-cart bag. At around 4.5 pounds, it can pull double duty, a great option for players in a variety of scenarios.

For some people, the only thing a Sunday bag needs to be is cheap. It's not your go-to bag; it’s just the one you bring to the range. In that case, this one comes in at a healthy $70.

Beyond the price, it’s a solid par-3 option. Plus, the plastic carry handle can hook the bag to an even larger cart bag for a putter and wedge situation when you’re on or around the green.
