Golf is expensive. It's one of the least wallet-friendly hobbies I've ever done. And I don't regret a single dollar spent, as I truly love the game.

But golf being expensive doesn't mean you need to just accept the high prices of clubs, balls and other golf gadgets. With Prime Day upon us, this is the perfect time to stock up on the golf goodies you need at lower prices.

Sure, your next tee time will still put a hurting on your credit card, but at least you'll know you saved some money on the balls, clubs and other stuff you need to make the most of your time on the course.

Best Prime Day golf deals

Champkey Heavy Duty Rubber Golf Ball Tray
Champkey Heavy Duty Rubber Golf Ball Tray: was $27 now $22 at Amazon

I actually purchased this yesterday, and it's scheduled to be delivered today. I've always just had a pile of golf balls near my hitting mat in my simulator, but this deal inspired me to actually get a tray to keep track of them. If you need a ball tray for indoor or outdoor use, this deal is perfect for you.

Vice Pro Golf Balls
Vice Pro Golf Balls: was $38 now $28 at Amazon

These are the golf balls I use on the course, and I couldn't be happier with them. I've seen noticeable improvements in my drives and spin around the green since switching from using whatever random ball I happen to have. And they're cheaper than comparable balls from brands like Titleist and TaylorMade.

TaylorMade TP5 Pix
TaylorMade TP5 Pix: was $45 now $35 at Amazon

This is another golf ball I use all the time, but I don't take them to the course. Instead, these are the balls I use in my home simulator, as the Square launch monitor detects the spin with the image layout of the TP5 Pix. But of course, you can take them to the links, as they're one of the best balls on the market (other designs without images are also on sale).

Callaway 300 Pro Laser Rangefinder
Callaway 300 Pro Laser Rangefinder: was $199 now $149 at Amazon

Everyone needs a rangefinder. Even if you use a GPS app to find the distances to the front, center and back of the green, having the exact distance to the flag can be a game-changer. This popular Callaway model is $50 off, a nice discount to round out your Prime Day shopping experience.

Callaway Rogue ST Max Fairway Wood
Callaway Rogue ST Max Fairway Wood: was $199 now $169 at Amazon

The Rogue ST Max is one of the most forgiving fairway woods I've ever hit. If you've always found yourself shying away from woods because you can't launch them, I urge you to give this one a try. This club might just change your ability to put the ball on or close to the green on your second shots.

Garmin Approach G80
Garmin Approach G80: was $499 now $299 at Amazon

I haven't personally used the Garmin G80, but I do use the G82 and love it. This has most of the same features, including GPS distances and a built-in lanch monitor, but it's a fraction of the price thanks to this Prime Day sale. You really can't beat this price for what this Garmin device offers.

Ghost Golf Stand Bag
Ghost Golf Stand Bag: was $415 now $352 at Amazon

Ghost Golf stand bags are expensive. But they're incredibly gorgeous and well-made, so you do get what you pay for. And since there's actually one on sale for Prime Day, you can keep a few extra bucks in your pocket. If you're sick of showing up to the course with a boring, basic bag, this deal is for you.

Rapsodo MLM2Pro Launch Monitor
Rapsodo MLM2Pro Launch Monitor: was $599 now $549 at Amazon

The MLM2Pro from Rapsodo is one of the best radar-based launch monitors on the market, right up there with the Garmin Approach R10. It's not on sale often, so when you get the chance to grab it for $150 off, you don't want to miss out. Whether you're looking for a device to take to the driving range, an outdoor practice net simulator or a full indoor setup, the MLM2Pro can handle it.

Callaway Strata Complete Golf Set
Callaway Strata Complete Golf Set: was $699 now $559 at Amazon

So far, all of the deals we've recommended are for people who already play and love golf. But if you're just getting into the game, this Callaway Strata set is the perfect way to jump in. Unlike some starter sets that only have a few clubs, this has everything — driver, fairway wood, two hybrids, irons, a putter and a bag. And it's available for both men and women, making it perfect for anyone who wants to take golf seriously.

Golf Deals I'd Avoid

There are a lot of deals out there that look good on the surface but aren't worth your hard-earned cash. Namely, I'd avoid the random brand names you've never heard of with prices that seem too good to be true. Can you sometimes get lucky with these products and find a diamond in the rough? Of course. But all too often, I hear stories about random, cheap golf bags falling apart quickly and costing more in the long run.

Another type of deal I'd avoid is any refurbished golf balls. All too often, these balls, which claim to be ProV1 or TP5 models, are cheap balls with a new coat of paint. Often, after a few swings with them, you'll start to see the paint come off and realize it was a Top-Flite masquerading as a better ball, leaving you feeling ripped off.

And no matter how cheap they are, don't buy iron covers. No one needs iron covers; they look goofy, and aside from blocking the noise of your irons clanking together, they really don't do anything useful.
