Looking and feeling the part on the course can give you the edge when it comes to your performance. However, one often forgotten part of a great golfing outfit is the belt. Not only should a belt give a comfortable fit and help keep your pants or shorts where they should be, but the belt is also a chance to make a fashion statement too, as shown by some of the models we've set out below.
Whether you are after a leather design, a stretchy woven model, or something to help you stand out, there is plenty of choice out there. It is also important for you to think about what material you want your belt to be made out of because these days you can get polyester, leather, polyurethane and other materials in belt design that each do different things.
Speaking of which, we have created this post to give you an idea of some of the best golf belts out there. From Puma to FootJoy, Galvin Green to Nike, there is something for everyone. What's more, if you want more buying advice, we recommend checking out a couple of the other posts below to make sure you have the perfect clothing and equipment setup. Such as the best golf pants, best golf shorts or the best golf tops.
Best Golf Belts
Why you can trust Golf Monthly
The List
Sizes: S - XL (32" - 42")
Colors: 9+ (White, Black, Navy, Blue, Brown etc)
+ Used by the Tour pros
+ Loads of colors
- Nike sizing can be tricky
The Nike Stretch Woven Golf Belt is incredibly stretchy for a comfortable fit on the course. Nike is worn by some of the biggest names in golf, including Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Brooks Koepka, with all three men opting to use this belt on a number of outfits in Majors and other Tour events.
What really sets this belt apart though are the number of colors it comes in. This means whatever color pant you go for, there will be a Nike belt to match it and it goes without saying that it will keep your trousers well fastened at your waist.
Sizes: Regular, Long
Colors: 4 (White, Grey, Black, Navy)
+ Very comfortable and hard-wearing
+ Wearable on and off course
- Styling may be too basic for some
First and foremost, this is comfortable. The thick, woven material means there’s no need for buckle holes, which makes it so much easier to find the right fit every time. Whilst the basic styling might be too simple for some, we thought it was both smart and versatile.
The leather tabs are also the same color as the belt making for an unfussy design that is modern, but without requiring you to wear the same outfit every time you play!
Sizes: Small - Extra Large
Colors: 3 (Black, Blue, Stone)
+ Easy to adjust
+ Stretches nicely
- Two-tone color design will put some off
Ping is famed for high-quality golf gear and this belt is no exception. It comes in black, blue and stone color designs, with the leather and metal trims adding a premium feel for those golfers looking to stay smart on the course.
Because it is designed with split leather trims and added stretch, it can fit comfortably to any size, with a sturdy and stylish metal buckle keeping the material in place so you can focus on your golf game. Admittedly it is limited in versatility, you probably wouldn't use it off the course, but this is only a minor point given the quality of the golf specific performance.
Sizes: One size fits all
Colors: 2 (Navy, Grey)
+ Stretchy material
+ Very stylish
+ Handy buckle
- Polyester material may not be the most durable
Quality is engrained in all of the best Callaway golf products, and this belt is no different. It is a stylish, clasp fit belt, that is made from 100 per cent polyester materials that make it very comfortable and easy to wear.
The belt is also very stretchy, so will expand and contract with your swing, but features a reliable clasp that will keep your trousers locked around your waist during your round. There are two colors to choose from and we liked the subtle Callaway branding which you can see on the buckle above.
Sizes: One size
Colors: 5
+ Premium buckle
+ Plenty of color options
- Needs to be cut to fit
This premium, stretchy belt from Galvin Green will top off any outfit you put together thanks to the premium buckle design with a cutout G logo, which features a flip closure mechanism that allows you to easily adjust the belt to your size.
Most people will need to cut it to size initially by unlocking the rear section of the buckle to release the strap, which is a little fiddly but worth doing so you don’t have too much excess strap hanging out once secure. The stretchy nature of the strap means it doesn’t offer maximum support but does provide a little leeway and means it will never feel too tight, restricting or uncomfortable.
Sizes: 30-42
Colors: 4 (Black, Steel, White, Academy)
+ Feels high quality
+ Nice amount of stretch
- Thick design
This is a classy belt that looks fantastic and is extremely functional and adjustable. It can be worn however you like and it also comes in a perfect size, too, so we’d recommend going with your usual waist size.
It’s a fairly heavy, tight belt that feels very good quality and has a nice amount of stretch in it, opposed to some other lighter belts that are perhaps too stretchy and feel a bit cheaper. The metal buckle feels very solid and is easy to open and close, with four color options meaning there is bound to be a suitable option for your tastes. What's more, it can be worn away from the course too.
Sizes: S - XL (30" - 40")
Colors: 2 (Heather Grey Pinstripe, Heather Grey)
+ Robust and Durable
+ Fits exactly with no holes
- Only one color
The Pueblo belt from Cuater by Travis Matthew is a robust and stylish accessory that will complement any golf look well. First thing to note is there are no belt holes to worry about. It’s a stretch woven fabric design and the buckle spike can punch through at any point to deliver the perfect fit.
As it’s a stretch fabric, there’s just enough give to deliver excellent comfort. It offers a sleek and contemporary look with black metal buckle and leather detailing.
Sizes: One size fits all
Colors: 4 (Black, Navy, White, Grey)
+ Reversibility provides plenty of options
+ Doubles up as a bottle opener
As the name would suggest, this belt can be reversed, giving golfers the opportunity to change their look. It comes in a one size fits all format and features a metal claim buckle that features the iconic Puma cat logo on its face. It even has the capacity to open bottles if you're the type of golfer who enjoys a few drinks during your round.
How we test golf equipment
When it comes to testing golf belts our comprehensive methodology revolves around, as you would expect, playing a lot of golf. We feel putting golf products to the test on the golf course, on the range and in practice is the best way to find out how usable and well-designed some belts are.
On that note, we feel it is particularly important to use all golf belts in different conditions, on the course or in practice to ascertain how each performs. We also looked to use belts off the course as well to see how versatile they were in social situations or when wearing them to work. Importantly, every member of the Golf Monthly team is a regular golfer so we put golf belts to the test over a number of rounds. The final point we should mention is no manufacturer can buy a good review. This is because our testing team tells it how it is and we seek to be as insightful and honest as possible.
How to choose a golf belt
While you might think golf belts are some of the more simple pieces of golf apparel on the market, there are a variety of things to consider and bear in mind when purchasing your next golf belt. To help you make the most informed choice possible, we've set out below a list of considerations you need to keep in mind when picking your next golf belt.
Material
The first thing you should consider is what do you want the belt to be made out of? No longer are belts just made out of leather these days as nylons, polyesters and other materials and fabrics are used. Each of them create a unique fit, feel and look so knowing what material you want will help narrow down your search.
Size
Importantly most of the models above are one size fits all but sometimes brands adopt more specific sizing measurements so this is definitely something to be aware of.
Comfort
Because a comfortable belt is a good belt, right? On the course, you're going to want to be as comfortable as possible to ensure you're able to focus on playing your best golf. For that reason, look for a belt that combines the right material, size, flex and stretch to allow you to hit good shots and stay relaxed.
Colors
As you can see from the key info sections on a lot of the models above, you can now get a golf belt in pretty much any color so it is a case of a) picking one you like the look of, and b) making sure the color will suit the pants and shorts you use for golf. Do not pick a color that only works with one outfit because you want to get more for your money here.
Budget
Finally, be aware of how much you want to spend on a belt. If you want to go for a premium design, there are models from J Lindeberg and G/FORE which have got you covered. Whereas if you want a more value-conscious option, then there are models like the one from Inesis too.
While having a golf belt is very important, so too is having a good pair of golf shoes that match your belt. For that reason, take a look at our guides on the best golf sneakers, best waterproof golf shoes and best spiked golf shoes.
FAQs
What is the purpose of a golf belt?
Regardless of your golfing style when it comes to pants, trousers or shorts, a good belt remains an important part of your golf outfit. This not just because they are functional and help keep your pants and polo in place, but a belt can also elevate a golf outfit by looking more classy or with a touch of flair.
Do I have to wear a golf belt?
No, you don't have to wear a golf belt. But it is advisable to do so for multiple reasons. The first is that golf belts can make your outfit much smarter. They can also improve how you play by delivering good comfort and can ensure that your trousers do not fall down when on the course.
What color should your golf belt be?
The simple answer here is whatever color belt you are comfortable wearing. There are people who say don't put those colors together and other such rules but if you want to wear a traditional black or brown belt, you should. The same can be said for those who want to wear a belt to stand out. Whatever you want to wear, do so as this is entirely up to different people. If it was up to us, we always try and get out belt to match or suit the pants or shorts we are wearing on the day.
