Golf Gifts

The trouble with buying a golfer a present is that the exciting gifts are the ones you are most likely to get wrong, and the useful ones feel too boring to hand over.

The trouble with buying a golfer a present is that the exciting gifts are the ones you are most likely to get wrong, and the useful ones feel too boring to hand over.

Everything here sits in the middle: gear golfers genuinely get through, packed so it feels like a gift rather than a restock. This page is our complete golf gift guide — by budget, by who you are buying for and by occasion.

Start here: the two rules

Buy consumables, not equipment. Balls, gloves, tees, headwear and accessories work for any golfer at any ability. Clubs, shoes and clothing depend on specifications you almost certainly do not have.

Check the glove hand. Golfers wear one glove, on their lead hand. A right-handed golfer wears it on the left. It is the single most common golf gift mistake.

Shop golf gifts by who they're for

Golf gifts by occasion

What makes a good golf gift

Golf is a sport with consumables, and that is the whole insight. Balls disappear. Gloves wear through by spring. Tees snap. Caps get filthy. Towels get filthier.

None of that is glamorous written on a shopping list. All of it gets used, which is more than can be said for the golf-themed mug, the novelty headcover or the book of golf jokes. Shop the consumables on their own: golf balls, golf gloves, golf tees and golf accessories.

What to avoid

  • Clubs — shaft flex, length, lie angle and grip size. Even a good guess is usually wrong.
  • Shoes — same problem, plus width.
  • Clothing — sizing, fit preference, and golfers are strangely particular about brands.
  • Anything with a pun on it.

Single item, gift box or mystery box?

Format You know the contents Best when
A single item Yes You know exactly what they want and their specifications
A gift box Yes They are particular about brands and you want certainty
A mystery box Categories only You want the most gear for the money and the unboxing to be part of it

We wrote an honest assessment of the third: are golf mystery boxes worth it. Comparing sellers? Here is the UK golf box market. Want to choose every item yourself? Build your own box.

The one detail you need

Every box includes a glove, so we ask for a size and which hand at checkout. Golfers wear the glove on their lead hand — the opposite hand to the one they play with, so a right-handed golfer wears it on the left. Most adult men take a Medium. Our golf glove size guide has the full chart.

Guess Medium and right-handed if you genuinely cannot find out. It covers most people, and we will swap it if it is wrong.

Buying for yourself instead?

Different problem, different answer. A one-off box is a present; a golf subscription box is a supply line for your own bag. If you play weekly, the second makes more sense.

One last thing, because people ask: we are not Clubhouse Golf. Here is the difference.

Golf gift FAQs

What is a good gift for a golfer?

Consumables: golf balls, a glove in the right size, tees, headwear and accessories. They suit any golfer at any ability and always get used.

What should I avoid buying a golfer?

Clubs, shoes and clothing, because they depend on specifications and preferences you probably do not know. Novelty gifts rarely get used.

What if I do not know their glove size?

Choose Medium and right-handed, which covers most adult men. If it is wrong, we will swap it.

How much should I spend on a golf gift?

Under £20 buys one good consumable. Around £50 buys a gift box with several items, which makes a better main present.
