I personally tested the 27 best golf gifts that players will actually want this holiday season — you'll be the best gift giver with any of these

One of the nicest things to get the golfer who has everything is a tee time at the nicest course in the area (or whatever level of course you can comfortably afford). After all, no matter how many golf gadgets and accessories the golfer in your life has, they buy them all to play golf. And if you don't know what course they want to play, a GolfNow gift card will do the job, and I've booked several tee times using the service with good results.

If you know a golfer who travels to play famous courses, this scratch-off poster from Uncommon Goods is a thoughtful gift idea. This way, they can track where they've played and where to book their next trip. I just played golf in Punta Mita at the tremendous Gourmet and Golf event, but sadly, Mexico isn't on this scratch-off. Guess I'll just have to settle for scratching off Winged Foot.

A den caddy is a fun thing to have around the house for storing clubs, balls or just about anything else. It's like a mini golf bag that happens to look cool. I have a PXG den caddy in my simulator for storing my various training aids (some of which are outlined above), but it's just a cool accessory to have around, and at $105, PXG's is one of the more reasonably priced options.

The Golfer's Journal is everything a magazine should be in 2026. It's packed with stunning pictures and well-written articles, and it's backed by a membership and community that all golfers will love being part of. Members of The Broken Tee Society get all the benefits of a magazine subscription, plus access to exclusive events and premium members-only gifts like the gorgous Quiet Please book I can't stop looking at right now.

Quince Golf apparel: starting at $29
Golf clothing is usually quite expensive. Most of my favorite pieces are $90 or more. But Quince is setting out to disrupt the trend by offering nice clothing at affordable prices. I tried Quince golf pants, a comfy polo and more and found them to be just as comfortable as stuff from more expensive brands. They're a great gift because you don't need to spend tons of money to get stylish, comfortable golf clothing for the player in your life.

Good belts are a must for golf attire, and our favorite value option is these stretchy Nike belts. This three-pack makes a great gift for golfers, considering it's one of those things you can never have enough of. The color options let golfers complete their outfits, since the belt is often the finishing touch to a style. I purchased this belt pack for myself, and three years later, I still wear all of them.

On the course, golfers need to carry a divot tool, ball marker, tees, balls and anything else they need to enjoy their round. The Byrd Belt is a fun gift that turns many of those products into a belt. It's a nice belt that I wear off the course as much as on it. I have several Byrd belts in my rotation, and I'm more than happy with them.

Okay, so this belt is rather expensive, but I'm not kidding when I say it's the best belt I've ever owned. It fits perfectly, stretches well and comes in vibrant colors that complete any outfit. A pop of color could be exactly what the golfer in your life needs, and this belt delivers.

This is the perfect gift for the golfer who seemingly has everything. It's a putting target the size of a golf hole, so when the putting green is busy and all the holes are taken, they can throw this down and get their warm-up putts in. I always keep this putting disc in my golf bag so I can practice putting anywhere. I still stink at putting, but that's okay; at least I can feel like I'm improving.

The MagnetOwl is one of the coolest golf accessories I've ever used. It turns any towel into a magnetic towel so you can stick it to your putter, golf cart or the company's own magnetic Landing Pad, which clips to your bag and gives you a giant magnet to stick stuff to. The MagnetOwl also comes with a ball marker that sticks right to it. It's a really cool little golf accessory that's worth getting if you already have everything.

No one likes dirty golf clubs, and the Caddy Splash Pro is the best way I've found to keep them clean. I never play a round without one clipped to my bag (I used to roll with the original Caddy Splash, but I've since upgraded to the newer, slightly better model).

Another piece of equipment a golfer can never have enough of is a fresh golf towel for their bag. We like this magnetic one, which you can quickly pick up off the ground with a club, and it has plenty of great color options. Ghost Golf has quickly risen to become one of the most popular brands, and it's largely thanks to making high-quality gear that I'm always happy to use myself. And if the golfer you're shopping for already has one, it never hurts to have an extra towel when one gets dirty.

I have this organizer in my trunk, and it's helped me make sure I always have a couple of pairs of golf shoes (I have a couple dozen pairs, so it's good to have some handy) and all my accessories ready to go. Sure, your golfer might just throw the stuff loose in their trunk, but why do that when this organizer is readily available?

I just tried one of these tumblers, and it's a fun novelty for sure! Importantly, it also works as a good cup for keeping your liquids cold (or warm) while offering a fun way to track your golf score and stats. If you think the golfer in your life has everything, this might be the perfect gift to get them that they haven't snagged yet. And if you prefer a smaller cup, you can get a 20oz version, too.

This is the perfect gift for the golfer who already has everything. A bunch of fun, limited-edition golf balls in an advent calendar will keep them entertained all holiday season, and they'll end up with two dozen cool golf balls when all is said and done. I purchased one of these myself, and it's been an absolute joy!

Every golfer needs headcovers to protect their driver, woods, hybrids and putter, so getting a stylish, themed one from Pins & Aces is a perfect gift. The company makes some of the most fabulous headcovers on the market, and you can choose from a variety to suit the tastes of the person you're shopping for. I have a Pins & Aces cover on 2 of my woods, and my driver and I love looking at all of them.

To me, Vessel bags epitomize golf luxury. The Player V Pro was the best golf bag I've ever used, but the Player VI Pro has surpassed it. However, if you want to get a tremendous bag for a little less, I can still easily recommend the Player V Pro! I even had the chance to talk to Vessel's CEO about what makes the bags so good. I don't think I'll ever go back to another golf bag at this point — Vessel's are just that good

Okay, so this isn't your typical golf gift, as it's super expensive, but if you have a hefty budget and want a gift that most golfers will want but might not want to buy themselves, this is the electric push cart I use to golf every single round. With its rugged, all-terrain design, GPS screen and other well-appointed features, this is the premium gift for any occasion.

This portable option is hard to beat for golfers who want a simple practice net. It can be used indoors and outdoors to practice chipping, with multiple pockets to hone accuracy and aim. Rounds are won and lost around and on the greens; this practice tool can make a difference. The pop-up design makes it easy to toss in the trunk and practice anytime, anywhere.

Golfers can spend their entire lives mastering their swing, but a trusted accessory for practicing swing sequencing and tempo is a swing trainer like this one. It fits in a golf bag, so golfers can warm up even on the course, as the extra weight helps get the blood flowing, allowing for a looser, more confident swing. The Amazon model is quite a bit cheaper than the branded ones, but after trying both, I can't really tell the difference.

Yes, golfers do need dedicated training tools for each golf skill. So, if they don't already have a putting mat, this roll-up one would make a great gift. Measuring 10 feet, this training mat can help golfers master their putts. It feels as close to a real green as you can get, and the rollback feature worked very well in my experience.

I've talked before about how much PathPal helped me improve my slice, and I can't recommend this product enough. The complete system includes everything you need to improve your swing path and get better at golf. Is there a better gift for the golfer in your life than an improved swing? Better swing = more fun.

I'll be honest: when I first saw BucketGolf, I thought it was a gimmick that would get old, but we play ours all the time. My partner, her son and I spend hours in the backyard setting up custom courses and playing BucketGolf together. It's a simple concept that's done incredibly well, especially the quality of the clubs.

I've spent the last few months practicing with HackMotion's wrist-based training tool, the Sensor 3, and I'm constantly blown away by how much you can learn about your golf swing just from your wrist angles. I've noticeably improved both my ball striking and tee shots since using this fancy golf tech, and I can't imagine practicing without it.

For my money, no product on the golf market beats Arccos. Since I started golfing, I've tracked my game with the club sensors, and now the company offers the Air, which provides the same level of tracking without anything on the clubs. If the golfer you love is looking to improve their game, this is the gift to buy.

This Garmin smartwatch has more features than any other golf watch on the market, and it's no contest. I started using it, and I'm blown away. It has wrist sensing, which is perfect for the driving range. It also helps with green reading, lets you see how your heart rate affects your golf performance and offers maps, scoring and more. It's expensive, but for the features, it doesn't feel overpriced.

The latest Rapsodo golf launch monitor is a tremendous big-ticket gift for the golfer looking to measure their game. This clever gadget analyzes swings and shots to offer guidance in a companion app, and it even works as a complete golf simulator with most of the popular software options. I've been using it as my go-to launch monitor in my home simulator recently, and I love it. And if budget is a concern, the slightly less feature-packed MLM2PRO is great and much cheaper.
