Best golf bags for 2023

Check out Golfweek’s 20 favorite golf bags for 2023.

Golf bags – you can’t play with them and you certainly cannot play without them.

The most obvious golf accessory is a choice that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Whether strapped to your back or the back of your golf cart, choosing a golf bag is as important as choosing a proper golf ball.

Luckily for you, Golfweek has made the search for the perfect golf bag that much easier.

We’ve put the best cart and stand bags all in one place to help you make the most informed decision possible. But first, one tip: there is no golden rule when it comes to golf bags.

If you enjoy both walking and taking a cart, a stand bag is going to benefit you the most. If you’re an avid walker (with a push cart) but are looking for more storage, a cart bag may be your choice.

Best golf bags for 2022: 10 of our favorite bags

What type of golf bag do you need? Unsure if you should go for a cart bag or stand bag? We’ve got you covered. Both have their pros and cons. Cart bags are nearly impossible to carry anywhere besides from your trunk to the cart but also provide a ton of storage options. Stand bags are incredibly light and do exactly what you need them to do. While they have fewer storage options than a cart bag, you’d be surprised at how much can fit in a stand bag.

Our David Dusek already brought you the best stand bags of 2022. Some of them are on this list because simply put, they’re incredible bags and worthy of holding your most precious cargo every time you tee it up.

It all depends on what you want when you play. Do you always use a cart and have accessories like a portable speaker, GPS, umbrella, ball retriever, etc.? Then a cart bag is probably the best fit for you.

Are you a player that takes a cart most of the time but will occasionally take a good walk? A stand bag will help you accomplish both types of rounds with ease.

Best golf stand bags for 2022

Today’s stand bags offer loads of storage and easy access to your clubs and gear in lighter, more durable designs.

If you are in the market for a new golf bag and are not a PGA Tour or LPGA member, a stand bag is probably the way to go. Even if you ride around your local club every time you tee it up, which makes you a prime candidate for a cart bag, a well-constructed stand bag is lighter to transport to and from your car, and it will accommodate everything you should need during your round.

When you consider which stand bag to buy, create some priorities.

  • If you intend to walk and carry your bag, its weight is especially important. Over 18 holes, every pound counts, so be sure to compare how much each bag weighs.
  • If you bring loads of high-tech gear and accessories such as a portable speaker, a spare battery, a water bottle, an umbrella and a laser rangefinder, look for a bag with plenty of pockets and spots where you can easily store your stuff.
  • There are bags on the market that have individual compartments for each of your 14 clubs, but most have a top divided into either four, five or six sections. More dividers can help keep things organized, but dividers add weight. It also can be frustrating to get clubs in and out of individual holders. Opting for a bag with fewer dividers can save weight, but cramming three or four clubs into one section can be cumbersome when the grips and shafts are cluttered.

To help find a good bag at a good price, look for the following models at your local store or online.
