You decide you want to play the game of golf.
You know you need clubs, balls, tees, and a golf bag to carry all of your gear.
Shopping for a golf bag is easy, right?
I mean how many options truly exist?
You might be surprised to learn there are at least 5 types of golf bags. The right bag for you will depend on your golf budget and how you enjoy playing the game.
You’ve probably heard of Sunday golf bags, carry golf bags, stand golf bags, and cart golf bags, but are you familiar with the luxury golf bag category?
The luxury golf bag category is the one that many golfers aren’t aware of - you probably won’t see any luxury golf bags in the pro shop of your local public golf course.
With that in mind, we spent some time checking out these bags.
What Is A Luxury Golf Bag?
The name sort of gives it away.
It’s a high-quality, stylish golf bag that’s made from the finest materials and truly stands out at the golf course.
It’s highly possible you’ve never seen one at your local driving range.
How does it differ from a regular bag?
Most luxury golf bags are made from expensive leather and were designed with fashion/style in mind. They include various features that aren’t available on regular golf bags. Are they as functional as a regular golf bag? The answer to that question depends on the player.
Why do you need a luxury golf bag?
You want to look good on the golf course and like to invest in your golf game. You want to stand out and be unique. You want to make sure no one else has the same golf bag when you step to the first tee.
How To Choose The Best Luxury Golf Bag
If you’re interested in finding the best luxury golf bag for your game, we recommend you keep 5 factors in mind while shopping.
1. Material Used

The material does vary.
Do you want python leather or canvas?
You’ll be able to choose from the finest materials.
2. Overall Quality
As you can imagine, luxury golf bags are true works or art and designed to be the highest of quality.
That doesn’t mean they’re all the same. Pay attention to craftsmanship and customer reviews.
Make sure your luxury golf bag is functional and not just beautiful.
3. Durability
A significant amount of time is spent making luxury golf bags look great.
You could argue they’re as much fashion and art as they are golf equipment.
If you plan to use your luxury golf bag on the course, you need to make sure it’s built to last.
4. Design & Features
You should love the design of your luxury golf bag.
It should be love at first sight, but also focus on the “extras” or features that are offered with it.
Luxury golf bags are selling a look and an experience.
You want to make sure that’s the experience you want to have on the course.
5. Price
As you’ll see below, all luxury golf bags are an investment, but that doesn’t mean they’re priced the same.
Determine your budget before you start shopping.
You never want to spend more than you can afford.
