Best Golf Pants 2026

Sizes: 28-44
Colors: 5

+ Excellent freedom of movement
+ Versatile, casual style
- Not the warmest

Once wearing the Adidas Ultimate365 5-Pocket Pants you'll find the stretchy twill fabric moves with you, offering unrestricted mobility for every swing and step. The five-pocket design provides a familiar, casual look that’s smart enough for the clubhouse and practical enough for everyday wear.

Made with a significant commitment to recycled and renewable materials, these pants are just one of the sustainable choices offered by Adidas. They feel lightweight and breathable, making them comfortable for warmer days but they may have your legs feeling chilly on the course during winter months. The regular fit and mid-rise offer a balanced silhouette which we preferred over a slim-fit look. While versatile, those seeking very heavy-duty winter trousers will be better looking elsewhere, but for all-around performance and style, these pants are a solid choice for the modern golfer.

+ Premium model that performed
+ Color choice
- Pockets could have been bigger

A brand you would've seen worn by the likes of Justin Rose in the past, Bonobos is a company that often makes shirts which stand out from the crowd. However, this is not the case with these classic, traditional looking pants which are available in nine subtle colors.

Constructed from a very soft and comfortable fabric, they allow for great freedom of movement and the fabric also provides UV resistance that allows them to be worn in hot conditions. What's more, they have moisture-wicking and quick drying properties, if you do get caught in an unexpected shower. The button closure is a nice design feature and I also liked the pattern stitching on the inside, two design features which make these Bonobos pants one of our absolute favorites currently on the market.

+ Perfect fit
+ Can easily be worn off the golf course
- Straight leg finish not for all

The G FORE Tour 5 Pocket 4-Way Stretch Straight Leg Trouser is easily among the very best golf pants you can buy. They have been designed with input from professional golfers to be lightweight, stretchy, breathable and moisture-wicking. You’ll get a lovely tailored, straight-leg fit and five pockets including two stitched-on at the back which makes them blend in for everyday wear.

You can wear them almost anywhere so you’re getting good value for money with these premium trousers. In terms of colors, there are five good, basic options to choose from.

There really isn’t much to say about these other than they’re absolutely excellent. They are expensive but certainly good value for money with how much wear they will inevitably get.

+ Lightweight and comfortable
+ Premium looks and colors
- Price might be only stumbling block

Without doubt my favorite pair of golf pants right now are the eb66 Performance Pants from Peter Millar. As you would expect from the brand, they offer premium performance which does mean they come with a premium price, but given my experience of testing them, they are definitely worth it.

The fabric is 100% polyester and feels comfortable against the skin, whilst the two-way stretch delivered when playing shots, moving around and getting into different stances on the course. They feel extremely well-made and the little details like the five pockets and inner stitching, elevating the pants further. Finally they look fantastic everywhere, come in loads of colors, and have a classic look and fit which many golfers will enjoy. A five-star pair of pants.

Sizes: 30-40

+ On/off course use
+ Super comfortable
- Tapered fit not for all

The Jupiter 5 pocket pants might have just become my new favorites on the market, competing heavily with the Peter Millar eb66, and the Bonobos Performance pants. Why? Well first I think the versatility here is clear to see as these pants can be used everywhere, I know this because I have done so. I tested the Iron finish but there are four other colors each of which look great in different situations and as part of various outfits. Comfort is also king when it comes to golf pants and the Jupiter’s delivered here.

The Japanese fabric blend gives a wide range of motion and a lightweight feel, to the point where I found them comfortable despite wearing them all day on more than one occasion. Admittedly the tapered fit might not be for all but I like this kind of aesthetic, and I also liked three subtle branding throughout. There is no shouting about Sun Day Red, just subtle, high-quality performance.

+ Well tailored slim fit
+ Strong collection of neutral colors
- Golfers with large legs might find them a touch tight

The Nike Golf Tour Repel Slim Fit Chino Trousers offer a modern, slim fit for the stylish golfer. Constructed with lightweight and comfortable Nike Dri-FIT fabric, these trousers ensure superior breathability and moisture management, keeping you dry and comfortable on the course. The water-repellent finish adds practicality, while the subtle herringbone fabric provides a touch of sophistication.

Featuring two front pockets and two rear pockets these trousers blend functionality with style. The branded gripper tape waistband also ensures a secure fit for your polo to prevent untucking, and the Nike Swoosh on the back right pocket adds a subtle touch of branding for the big Nike fan. The slim fit nature of these trousers does mean that golfers with slightly wider legs may find them a touch tight.

+ Lightweight, stretch material
+ Classic look
- Some can fall in between sizes

If you are looking for a classically stylish pair of golf trousers that you can wear on the course, in the clubhouse or even to work - the Drive Tapered Pants should be high on your shortlist.

The tapering at the bottom feels modern and the grip waistband means you don’t have to spend forever faffing with your polo shirt and constantly re-tucking. There is an extensive range of colour options available, meaning you can pair this with literally anything you have in your wardrobe, but to be honest I liked them so much that I’d probably like at least two or three different colours in my summer golf repertoire. The trousers are breathable and lightweight but they also repel water, so these really are the perfect option for most conditions you’ll encounter throughout the spring and summer.

+ Excellent stretch
+ Slimmer fit by ankles
- Best for athletic fit

Based on the brand’s best-selling Fusionn shorts, I had high hopes for the Knit Performance Pants from Johnnie-O. Whilst I will admit right away that they will best suit those with an athletic build, and those that prefer a slimmer fit down by the ankles, I think the unique design should definitely be one to consider if you are in the market for a new pair of golf pants.

The uniqueness comes from the pull-on style, with the button by the waistband being purely cosmetic really. Given this design the pants stretch beautifully and have an almost tailored feel, especially around the waistband which doesn’t feel restrictive at all. The comfort was immediately noticeably when putting these pants on and a couple of other elements I liked were the magnetic pocket closures, and you can get these in three neutral, versatile colors.

+ Lovely tailored fit
+ Versatile enough to wear on and off the course
- Price could be a stumbling block

Pants are a weird one in the sense they aren’t maybe as exciting as a new pullover, ¼ zip or golf hoodie. I wasn’t overly excited when I took the Brian pants out of the packaging, but I quickly fell in love with them after a few minutes of wear. Made by B.Draddy, which is a brand all golfers need to know about given the overall quality of the apparel, they come in several versatile colors.

The tailored fit was perfect for me and was complimented beautifully by the soft feel of the premium Peruvian Prima cotton.

The pockets are deep enough to carry everything you need out on the course or your keys and wallet if you’re heading out for dinner or to the bar in the evening where these pants will seamlessly match your smart casual fit. The price might put some potential buyers off, but I expect these pants to be regularly in my rotation for many years to come.

+ Unbeatable stretch
+ Incredibly lightweight and breathable
- Crease up quite easily

Lululemon made its name in activewear, and as soon as I put on the ABC trousers that heritage became very clear. These are perhaps the stretchiest and least restrictive trousers I have ever worn. Combined with the fact that the material is very lightweight, they are an absolute dream to wear. In terms of pure comfort these may be the best trousers in the world, not just golf.

The pockets are deep and well placed, the selections of colours and sizes are ideal, there really is not a lot you can argue with. With that in mind, there are two small issues to mention. Firstly, the material does crease up quicker than other golf trousers I have worn. While this isn’t a deal breaker, it’s worth bearing in mind if you are adverse to using an iron. Finally the price point may be restrictive to those golfing on a budget.

+ Smart traditional cut
+ Very flexible
- If you need a longer than standard leg

The TravisMathew Wanderlust Golf Pant provides you with a lightweight, breathable stretchy fabric - it's so comfortable, you might forget you're not wearing pajamas! It may not offer the thickness of true winter trousers, but its fabric is quick-drying and perfect for those ambiguous transitional weather days. The modern, tailored fit is sleek, ensuring no excess material puts you off during your swing. The smart, versatile styling means they can be worn easily away from the course, working equally well for a birdie putt or a lunch date.

They lack the bulky cargo pockets of some outdoor pants, prioritizing a clean, sophisticated line. For comfort and convenience, the deep pockets are functional, but maybe don't trust them with too many loose tees. This pant is perfect for the golfer who believes looking good should feel effortless and views comfort as a competitive edge.

Sizes: 30-42

+ Comfortable tapered fit
+ Excellent mobility in the golf swing
- Could feel restrictive for people that like a looser fit

These tapered fit golf trousers would pair perfectly with pretty much any golf garment you can find in your wardrobe, thanks to the classic sleek look and advanced design. With the stretch silicon waistband you can play in comfort without worrying about constantly tucking your shirt in, while the functional side entry pockets provide the practicality needed for the modern golfer.

The four way stretch material offers great mobility and unrestricted movement in the swing, while a subtle FootJoy logo on the rear pocket adds to that timeless look we have come to associate with the brand. I regularly wear these trousers, both for work and on the golf course, and I would recommend them to anyone who values comfort and style in equal measure.

Sizes: 30-38

+ Pockets feel durable and made to last
+ Very smart look
- Golf specific, so not ideal for off course wear

The 101 Pure Tailored Pant from Puma are a high quality pair of golf pants that offer great value for money. They have a very smart look and fit well for a tailored look on the course. They come with four pockets, which all feel highly durable and well made.

You get two at the front and two at the back, one with a button closure system and one open pocket with a subtle Puma logo. They have a nice amount of stretch to them and a decent amount of warmth, too. There are an impressive five color options to choose from. Overall, they’re difficult to fault.

Light, comfortable material
Modern, smart look
Not ideal in colder conditions

Finding golf trousers that fit well and look smart is often harder than you think. Too often, a pair that ticks most of the boxes is uncomfortable to wear over long periods of time. Not these Tide To Tee pants from Turtleson.

First of all, the fabric they have used (described as a hybrid performance material) feels almost like linen. They are light and extremely comfortable. What’s more, they also look very smart. We tested the Pacific blue colourway which provided a modern, summery look. You can easily couple these with a classic upper half for a smart look or a more sporty top for a relaxed look. As such, even in this light blue colorway, you have a pair of trousers that should provide plenty of use.

Sizes: 30-40

+ Extremely stretchy
+ Good value for money
- Golf specific

The Epic trouser from Callaway is a high quality performance pair of pants that are extremely comfortable to play golf in. They’re remarkably stretchy and flexible thanks to a ‘tricot’ blend of nylon-elastane, and the added detail of Callaway’s Chev grippers inside the waistband keep your shirt nicely tucked in.

These tailored pants come with two open front pockets, one open back pocket with the Chev logo and another back pocket with a button closure system. They are also made to be wrinkle-resistant so should not need a great deal of ironing. Overall, there’s not much to complain about in these very impressive golf pants.

Sizes: 30-38

+ Wide array of color choices
+ Nice tailored fit
- Better suited for summer golf

There are a total of 10 colors to choose from with the Vent pant, so if you’re indecisive then you might want to look elsewhere…

I tested the huckleberry colorway and although I wasn’t in love with them when taking them out of the packaging, those doubts were quickly swept away once I put them on. They feature a very small checkered-like design that I thought would be very obvious when I wore them, but once on you barely notice it.

Instead, you notice how stretchy these pants are and how they’ve clearly been constructed purely for golf. They’re lightweight and thus don’t provide a whole heap of warmth, meaning they might not be the best for winter golf, but they remain an excellent trouser choice for those who prefer to play in spring and summer.

Sizes: 29-40

+ Very light and breathable
+ Waistband gripper
- No zip pockets

Oscar Jacobson describes the Bowen tapered trousers as “sophisticated and performance-driven”. Every small detail has been carefully considered, including the internal waistband gripper that keeps the shirt nearly tucked in. This is the perfect summer pair of golf trousers - they’re lightweight and extremely breathable. They’re also able to withstand a bit of light rain. The front pockets are larger than most, which some golfers will like. Others might prefer a zip or a tighter feel to keep accessories safe.

The light grey, whilst smart, does show up marks, but there are a few darker colors in the range, including ‘watercress’, which is a smart addition. The OG logo pin is always a smart touch, and this can be found on the upper back pocket. With top marks in pretty much every department, this is sure to be a popular item in the spring/summer range.

+ Stretch fabric allows unrestricted movement
+ On-course performance with everyday style
- Regular fit may feel slightly relaxed for those preferring a slimmer cut

Built with a balance of performance and versatility, these 5-pocket trousers are designed to transition seamlessly from the course to casual wear. The stretch construction ensures all-day comfort and freedom of movement, while the regular fit keeps things easy without feeling restrictive. A classic five-pocket layout adds a more relaxed, modern look compared to traditional golf trousers, making them just as wearable off the course. Finished in a clean Cloud colorway, they offer a sharp, adaptable option for any golfer’s wardrobe.

After finishing a round of golf, it is nice that you are able to feel like you don’t have to rush into the changing room to change out of the golf gear, these trousers provide that hybrid look which means that they are suitable for on and off course wearing. The navy colorway is a great addition to your golfing outfit.

+ Lightweight, stretch material
+ Casual look
- Some might find fit too baggy

While Reebok names these trousers as tapered, I think they’re actually on the slightly baggier side of the legwear spectrum. Closer in style to what Tommy Fleetwood (not Reebok sponsored) was wearing at the Masters than to the pants of Bryson DeChambeau (Reebok sponsored). Luckily, I like both smart slacks and slightly looser trews so the look works for me.

I’d say that these are very much summer-weight trousers, as the mainly polyester fabric is reasonably thin. It has added elastane which provides quite impressive levels of stretch. As I said, I think these wear reasonably loosely, which might not be to everyone's taste and meant that in gusty wind I could feel the material flapping against my legs. The rear pockets are plenty big enough for a scorecard, and a nice touch is the rubberised Reebok logo on the waistband which helps prevent shirts from riding up.

Sizes: 32-42
Colors: 5

+ Very comfortable and flexible
+ Flattering look
- Pockets don’t feel that roomy to me

As someone who generally goes for non-golf cotton chinos rather than the more modern materials used in tailor-made golfing trousers, I was extremely impressed with how comfortable these predominantly polyester Ross Trousers are. The material is soft to the touch - inside and out - and remains perfectly fitted whether standing, seated, or on the move. The cut and shaping is ideal, not at all baggy as are so many such products, but also not so tight that they look or feel in any way uncomfortable or unnatural.

As icing on the cake, my non-golfing wife has commented - completely unprompted and very favourably - on how they look on each of the occasions I have worn them. They could also as easily be worn off the course as on. Having never been very impressed with the comfort or style of dedicated ‘golfing’ trousers before, I finally have a pair that I will very happily wear. Definitely recommended.

Sizes: 29-40

+ Very light fabric so ideal for summer days when you don’t fancy shorts.
+ A degree of water-repellency is an added bonus.
- Tailored lower leg fit won’t appeal to all.

A close-fitting lower leg isn’t something I would naturally lean towards but I quickly grew to like the fit here, especially on a very windy test day with less fabric flapping around in your line of vision as you stand over the ball. There is lots to like here from the lightness of the fabric to the degree of water-repellency that means you don’t need to instantly rummage in your bag for the waterproofs as soon as the first raindrop falls.

Perhaps best of all are the welcome hint of stretch in the fabric, so you can still get into them after a week of over-indulgence, and the rubberised Stuburt branding on the inner waistline that helps the trousers stay in place better when worn with a particularly shiny shirt material.

Sizes: 30-40

+ Stylish alternative to waterproof pants
+ Keeps winter chills out
- Not fully waterproof

Not everyone enjoys the baggy look of traditional golf waterproof trousers, which is why these slim fitting thermal trousers are a compelling alternative for the style-conscious golfer that plays all year round. They look like any normal pair of golf pants but are actually made of a thick and stretchy thermal material that does an incredible job of keeping any chill at bay.

On milder days, they didn’t provide the breathability we were hoping for, but on colder outings these remove the need for an additional pair of pants and the soft inner lining means they’re comfortable to wear against your skin. While they’re not technically fully waterproof, we wore them during some heavy showers on the course and didn’t get any water coming through.

Sizes: 30-38
Colors: 6

+ Premium four-way stretch and lightweight feel
+ Smart styling with wrinkle-resistant fabric
- You may prefer a looser, more traditional trouser style

The Bad Birdie Golf Pants deliver a clean, athletic look that works just as well off the course. The premium four-way stretch fabric moves effortlessly through the swing, while moisture-wicking tech keeps you comfortable throughout the round and beyond.

They feel lightweight without lacking structure and the wrinkle-resistant finish helps maintain a sharp appearance all day. Thoughtful details like the interior elastic waistband keep everything in place and UPF 50 protection is a welcome bonus on sunny days.

Sizes: 30-42

+ Extremely comfortable
+ Lightweight and stretchy
- Deeper pockets would be welcomed

The Apex Chino is a well-designed golf trouser that is clearly designed by golfers, for golfers. These aren’t just a pair of pants that work on the golf course looks-wise, instead they’re specifically designed to compliment the body throughout the movement of walking and the golf swing.

They are feather light, meaning they’re very comfortable to wear as you walk. The stretch is superb and the rubber material on the inside of the waistline keeps your shirt tucked in through all 18 holes - a great design feature. I only wish the pockets were a little deeper, for I have a lot of stuff in there during my rounds of golf.

Sizes: 30-46

+ Lightweight and comfortable
+ Water-repellent
- Functional rather than stylish

I’m happy to admit that there are now three pairs of Stromberg Hampton trousers in my household. When my son and I were at the beginning of our golfing journey, we picked Hamptons up in a sale at our local American Golf outlet and they’ve served us well. There’s nothing flashy about them and, if one is picky, the 98% polyester material is a little shiny but they are well suited to any golfer.

The straight cut might not be on-tapered-trend, but it does mean that there’s no restriction of movement. I have worn these for damp rounds and the water-repellent Teflon Zelan R3 finish does mean water beads if showers are light and brief, so you can delay reaching for the waterproof overtrousers. The four pockets are a decent-size, with the two buttoned rears big enough for scorecards and yardage books.

Sizes: 28-40
Colors: 3

+ Grippy inner waistband to keep shirts tucked in.
+ Extremely light and stretchy fabric
- Double fastening (button and popper) a minor faff.

Much like the Stuburt Simp that I also tested, the Putter trousers by Abacus feature a much lighter fabric than I would normally wear, but I really liked it. There is ample stretch here to accommodate both freedom as you swing and the minor variations in waist size that can creep up on you unexpected if you’re not careful!

There is also more than enough pocket space, while the rubbery strip around the circumference of the inner waistband cleverly acknowledges that keeping shirts tucked in has become a slightly trickier task in this era of shinier-feeling manmade fabrics. The closer-fitting lower leg is certainly a departure from the norm for me, but I actually thought it looked pretty smart once I’d got used to it.

Sizes: 28-38
Colors: 2

+ Very stretchy material
+ Water resistant and offer UPF protection
- Slim fit will not be for all

The Castore Golf trousers are made from an extremely stretchy woven fabric, making them very comfortable to wear during a round. They are flexible enough to cope with any movements made during the swing or as you walk the course, and are very lightweight. The material is finished with ProTek technology, which offers a water-repellent shield and adds to their versatility. A nice touch is the zip pocket on the left-hand side, which gives an extra layer of security for your valuables.

There are three additional pockets, so things like tees and scorecards can easily be accommodated too. They feature UPF technology, which shields the body from sun exposure on hot days. One word of warning, they are billed as slim fit, so maybe one to avoid if you require a bit more room to breathe.

Sizes: 30-40
Colors: 5

+ Good amount of stretch
+ Plenty of color choices
- A little tight around the crotch

For golfers seeking a technical, high performing pair of golf pants you’ll like what you experience from Galvin Green’s Noah. These slim fitting pants come in a whopping 21 size options, so you’re sure to find a pair that will fit you perfectly, although even in our size they do come up a little snug around the crotch area.

They incorporate a shirt gripper waistband to help keep your shirt tucked in and with both front and back pockets, these pants are as functional as they are stylish. The UV protection of 20+ provides a barrier from the sun’s harmful rays and the stretch in the material maximises comfort and freedom of movement while you’re playing golf. It also dries quickly for added convenience, making them a near-perfect option for the course.

+ Super stretchy, comfortable material
+ Versatile for off course use
- Perhaps more of an athletic fit than traditional golf pants

If you have seen Tom Brady play golf at any point you would undoubtedly have seen him wear NOBULL golf gear, and as such I thought it best to try and test out some of the apparel designed for the golf course. One such piece I managed to get my hands on was the Gamechanger 5-Pocket Pants, which I really enjoyed testing.

First up I loved the fit. Whilst it is perhaps more of an athletic fit than other pants, I thought it was generous and tapered nicely towards the ankles, without being too tight, like a jogger.

They are also exceptionally soft and comfortable, whilst they stretch nicely as well because of the nylon and spandex construction. Finally I think they look great and the more neutral colors work off the course so you get some value here too.

Sizes: 30-38
Colors: 2

+ Flexible and lightweight
+ Fitted design adds to fashionable aesthetic
- Only available in two colors currently

Out of every Lupr product I tested this year, the Lupr Fescue Trouser was my top pick. It is a really impressive product and I couldn’t recommend it enough. The fitted design looks great and its flexible two-way stretch material means it works practically as well. The addition of a front zip pocket for ball markers etc is a cool touch and the pockets are more than deep enough to store tees, golf balls and a glove. The Fescue Trouser is quick drying, particularly helpful if you’re caught in a flash shower out on the course, and it’s wrinkle-free so you still look the part entering the clubhouse post-round.

The only minor drawback is the Lupr Fescue Trouser is only currently available in two colorways, but the black or navy options are a great staple option for your golfing wardrobe.
