Best Golf Polo Shirts 2025
From classic designs to ones that stand out from the crowd, we collate our favorite golf polo shirts on the market.


Nowadays, the best golf polo shirts look very different to how they did ten or even five years ago, with a whole range of new performance fabrics and technologies used in construction. This is because golf polos have to be able to do a lot of things these days. The best models give a lot of mobility so the athletic movement of the golf swing is not compromised, whilst they also sit comfortably on your torso and arms. A good model will also be lightweight, breathable on those hot days, and even help in terms of wicking sweat, blocking UV rays, and maybe even anti-odor technology.
Finally, they have to look good as well. Some brands and models decide to really push the boat out which is great, whereas some look to have a more understated design so they can be worn anywhere. Acknowledging all of this, below we take a look at some of the best designs on the market. These are shirts that will help you feel and look good on the fairways, allowing you to focus on your game and play your best. Additionally, if you want to complete the ensemble, we recommend checking out some of our other buying guides on the best golf tops and also best golf trousers, so you can get the entire outfit right.
Best Golf Polo Shirts
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 2
+ Super comfortable
+ Throwback spread collar boosts style
- Only 2 color options
Few golf shirts blend comfort and style better than Peter Millar’s Retro Jersey Performance option. The soft, lightweight and stretchy material slides on effortlessly and allows you to swing unrestricted. It also maintains these qualities after multiple washes.
The Edwin Spread Collar is a bit of a throwback but really enhances the look in our opinion.
The fit is just right too - not too snug where it pinches in all the wrong places but also not overly loose or baggy either - just right. If you don’t mind spending a little more to get a high quality polo that will last, this is well worth checking out.

+ Every details feels premium
+ Tiger Woods’ design influence
- All over print divisive
At Golf Monthly we have been itching to test Tiger Woods’ Sun Day Red brand for a while now and after receiving some samples, I can report the performance lives up to the hype. One such example is the Cypress Print polo which features an all-over print that may not be for all, but I liked it.
Tiger’s influence stretches into the construction here as the 15-time Major winner prefers a slightly heavier fabric in spring polos, because of temperate climates. But that isn’t to say this polo is heavy either, far from it. It still felt lightweight and yet comfortably stretchy, and I liked the Heritage Fit as well, which is the brand’s classic, roomier silhouette. It comes in four colors, several sizes and overall I found it easy to wear, easy to play in, and easy to wash.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 4
+ Very stretchy fabric
+ Comfortable and well fitting
- Camo design will divide opinion
I have been a fan of G/FORE gear for a good few years now so was excited to test the SS25 line as part of our testing day. The new range features this Mapped Icon Camo polo which may divide opinion, but I think the modern twist to a traditional polo silhouette really adds something unique.
But for me the star of the show was the fabric. Made with a combination of polyester and spandex, it stretches easily throughout the swing, offers outstanding comfort and I liked the lightweight feel as well, making it ideal for those hot rounds during the summer. Additionally I liked the overall fit of the shirt, athletic and not restrictive, and it works well with mid-layers or quarter-zips over the top as well.
Sizes: XS-XXXL
Colors: 4
+ Excellent breathability
+ Unrestricted movement
- Print may not appeal to all tastes.
Slip on this polo and you'll first notice the exceptionally lightweight and breathable HEAT.RDY fabric, engineered to keep you feeling cool and comfortable, even when the sun is at its peak. The integrated AEROREADY technology efficiently wicks moisture away from the skin, enhancing the cool-feeling sensation. The material offers a good amount of stretch, allowing for a full range of motion without any hindrance to your swing.
Its modern, all-over print provides a sharp, contemporary look on the fairways although it may not suit everyone’s eye. While the specific graphic design might not be to everyone's preference and its focus on cooling makes it less suited for chilly rounds, this polo excels in hot conditions. The classic three-button placket and sharp collar provide a polished golfing aesthetic, making it an excellent choice for the fashion-forward golfer.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 6
+ Fantastic selection of colors
+ Lightweight and breathable
- Collar is quite stiff and loud
Nike polo tops always deliver good performance and this one is no different, the American sporting powerhouse has opted for a contrast collar this season, however, and I have to say it’s a nice change. The colour selection available is also quite abstract, including colours like Cave Purple, which will undoubtedly appeal to those who prefer something a bit more out there than the standard navy polos we see everywhere.
The fit is comfortable, but does come up quite large, which is worth bearing in mind. The only issue I found with this polo was that the collar is very stiff and also quite nosy when moved. Although it wasn’t a massive distraction when playing, it could frustrate golfers who prefer perfect silence during their swing.
Sizes: S-3XL
Colors: 2
+ Eye-catching print
+ Excellent breathability and stretch
- Limited colors will divide opinion
First things first, the main stand out of the Broken Flower Polo is the eye-catching print, which will no doubt turn heads on the golf course. The Puma MATTR is known as one of the best golf polo shirts on the market and, like other MATTR models, it has all the technology you know and love, such as moisture-wicking material.
Obviously, the bright and loud look will divide opinion, but there's no doubt that this design screams summer, with the thinner material very breathable, providing plenty of stretch and freedom of movement. It's also incredibly lightweight and, out on the course, the regular fit means it is a true fit to size that won't cause any distraction when taking a shot or walking to your golf ball.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 5
+ Strong attention to detail
+ Very breathable
- Requires ironing to avoid creases
The Cool Moore Polo from B Draddy is an extremely comfortable and lightweight design that offers up a soft and stretchy fit. The textured detailing on the cross-hatch print shows how much thought has gone into this polo, which even has B Draddy-embossed buttons.
We think it’s the perfect polo for a warm day on the course, and you have five colorways to choose from. We did notice some creasing so it’s certainly one you’ll want to iron before each wear. We also found the fit to be on the baggy side so would recommend going down a size if you’re in between sizes or like a tighter fit.
Sizes: S- 3XL
Colors: 4
+ Simple design with some smart modern detail
+ Lightweight and no ironing required
- Feel of synthetic fabric is not for everyone
This lightweight polo shirt from FootJoy combines a simple, versatile aesthetic with some nice modern touches. We tested the navy blue offering which has a subtle pattern in the collar. The fit is fairly athletic without being too snug and the technical fabric stretches with your body as you swing. One feature we loved was the collar, where the fabric is heavier and more structured. This prevents it from curling up and means the shirt continues to look smart after multiple wears/washes. The synthetic feel of the fabric won’t be for those who prefer classic cotton but there are plenty of benefits, including the fact that you won’t need to iron this one.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 4
+ Eye-catching design
+ UV protection
- Fairly golf-specific so not a polo for off-course life
The Marlon polo from Galvin Green with its abstract argyle print, coming in four colorways, is an eye-catching garment that performs just as well as it looks on the course. The stretch fabric makes for a very comfortable and soft wear, and there’s UV protection 20+ built in to keep your torso and upper arms safe while you play in the sun.
It’s also very breathable and comes with quick-drying properties to keep you in good shape no matter the conditions. We loved the fit of the ribbed arm cuffs as well as the detailing, while the ribbed collar also feels high quality and made to last. We’d recommend ordering your usual size.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Exceptionally soft and luxurious Peruvian Pima cotton blend
+ Signature tailored fit
- Some may prefer a more structured collar.
The Strickland Shirt is one of the most versatile and premium polo shirts on the market. The incredibly soft and luxurious feel of its Peruvian Pima cotton and elastane blend, offers both a refined comfort and good amount of stretch. This polo is lightweight and breathable, making it ideal for comfortable wear on warmer days, while being thick enough to provide ample warmth under a mid-layer on cooler days.
The signature tailored fit from Holderness & Bourne ensures a clean, modern look, allowing it to transition effortlessly from the golf course to various casual and smart-casual settings. The design is enhanced by a subtle chest pocket detail, a vintage applied placket, and a relaxed self-collar that contributes to its versatile, laid-back yet sophisticated aesthetic, although this can blow around a little in the wind. If you want a polo that looks smart on and off of the course, this is by far your best option.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 4
+ Ultra-lightweight "Featherweight" fabric for exceptional comfort.
+ Wrinkle-resistant and easy care
- Fairly slim fitting which may not suit all
When wearing this polo, you'll immediately notice how incredibly light and silky smooth the "Featherweight" performance fabric feels against your skin. It’s designed to be significantly lighter than standard polos, offering a barely-there sensation that's perfect for warm days on or off the course, although the athletic fit would have me wearing it more while playing than in a casual setting.
The moisture-wicking and stretch properties ensure you stay dry and comfortable with a full range of motion when playing on the course or grinding on the range. The clean, subtle stripe design and classic three-button placket provide a versatile look that transitions effortlessly from a round of golf to a relaxed social setting, should you wear it out. It excels in providing lightweight comfort and performance features like UPF 50 sun protection, and helps with comfort on those hotter days on the links.
Sizes: XS-XXXL
Colors: 16
+ Lightweight and breathable
+ 16 lovely designs to choose from
- Would prefer a small UA logo
Modest in price but high quality in terms of performance, the Playoff 3.0 polo from Under Armour very much outperforms the price tag - like most Under Armour gear we tested has done! There are an army of 16 colors to choose from for a polo that should become a regular rotation in your golfing wardrobe thanks to the comfortable and stretchy material that helps you swing freely through the ball.
The anti-pick, anti-pill fabric is extremely breathable and lightweight, performing really well when I played during warmer whether. It also wicks sweat and dries really fast, meaning you won’t feel uncomfortable on either hot days or if you’re caught in an unexpected rain shower. This is a simple but classy polo that combines really nicely with the Drive Tapered Pant, another incredibly well priced, high quality item from the brands’ extensive golf collection.
Sizes: XS-XXXL
Colors: 6
+ Clean sophisticated design
+ Athletic fit looks great
- May not appeal to golfers who dislike bold branding
The KV polo is one of J.Lindeberg’s standout garments due to its simple but effective design, and its standout performance on the course. The sleek athletic fit is particularly complimentary, and the branding on the collar and back give it that extra bit of flair that fashion conscious golfers will love.
Thanks to its synthetic construction the polo is lightweight, breathable and offers plenty of stretch throughout the golf swing making it a dream for warmer summer rounds. The KV is available in a wide range of color options making a great option for those who like to mix and match outfits. Although I love the bold branding on the back it may not suit the eye of those who like a more toned down design.
Sizes: XS-4XL
Colors: 8
+ Comfortable
+ Versatile and loads of colors
- Slim fit will put some off
If you are a classic polo kind of golfer then Lululemon has you covered with the Evolution polo, an ideal model for on and off the course use. Style wise it has a classic, simple look which works well with different colored pants or shorts, thanks to the sheer variety of color choice available. It is worth noting this polo is slim fit so it does hug from chest to waist, which is better for the athletic players among you, but it may put some off.
Construction wise the polo is made from a technical fabric designed to inhibit ‘the growth of odor-causing bacteria’. Basically, that means you should stay fresh throughout a day of golf, and I also really liked the soft feel of the fabric too. It was comfortable and the addition of lycra to the blend gave a lot of stretch and mobility. Hard to fault.
Sizes: S-3XL
Colors: 2
+ Bold statement
+ Comfortable and stretchy material
- Loud design not for everyone
If you’re wanting to make a bold statement on the course, then the look no further than the Callawy Crab Novelty polo. The Galaxy Blue version I tested features a cast of pink crabs which will certainly turn heads in any clubhouse. It’s made using a 56% polyester, 30% recycled polyester and 14% elastane material which is lightweight and stretchy, making it very comfortable to wear.
The Callaway Opti-Dri moisture management system is designed to keep you fresh and dry throughout your round and it certainly lived up to that on a reasonably hot day. It features a three-button placket with an embroidered chevron logo and a Callaway Contrast Tour logo on the on right sleeve, but these are both slightly overpowered by the design. This polo won’t be to everyone’s tastes, but it will certainly get you noticed.
Sizes: S-2XL
Colors: 28
+ Perfect stretchy, slim fitting material
+ 28 colors to choose from
- Can be a touch tight around the arms
A versatile, stretchy and wonderfully comfortable top, the Versa Polo from Mizzen+Main is a wonderful option for those who like a slightly tighter fitting polo without feeling restricted. It fitted me beautifully, fitting nice and loose around the chest and torso whilst tighter on the arms which I like as I prefer not to feel the sleeves flapping as I swing the club.
The moisture-wicking fabric is perfect for the golf course and is available in both a trim and classic fit so golfers of all sizes can find the perfect fit. The Versa is also available in a wide range of colors and designs, meaning theres a style for everyone, be that solely for on the course wear or whether you want this to double up as a polo you wear off the course, too.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 4
+ Colorful and characterful
+ Comfortable and stretchy
- All-over patterns are never universally popular
Penguin clothing is fantastic for those who want to show some personality on the golf course, with the All-Over Lifesaver polo proving a great option for those who fall more on the flamboyant side of conventional. All-over prints are becoming increasingly popular as outside-the-ropes fashion works itself onto the fairways.
Here, you can choose from two bright and summery options that both work with a range of outfits. The All-Over Lifesaver polo is lightweight, flexible and stretchy and the moisture-wicking properties will keep you cool and stylish in the hotter months. It’s also machine washable and available in a wide range of sizes, although a couple of additional colour options wouldn’t go amiss.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 3
+ Striking pattern and design.
+ Soft, lightweight material
- Would love to see it in more colors
From the moment I pulled the Ping Diego Polo on I instantly knew that I loved it. It was that feeling you get when something fits well, in all the right places, aided by the soft comfort of the lightweight fabric. I tried it with a gilet, midlayer and solo in the sunshine - and I loved each variation as much as the next.
The quick dry, crease resistant properties make it very low maintenance, meaning it’s ready to go at a moments notice when the urge to hit the fairways calls. For anyone who likes to stand out on the golf course with a striking pattern, but while also maintaining an aura of style associated with Ping products through the classic colorways available, this polo shirt is the one for you.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 19
+ Classic look
+ Excellent price options
- Anyone looking for non-traditional design
This is a single block of color polo shirt, made from 100% polyester with moisture wicking properties. It is not a shirt that tries to do anything else other than being smart, comfortable and offering a range of color choices. It is in a really decent price point that should be considered by anyone looking for a solid option from a well-respected brand.
The ProQuip Pro-Tech Solid Color polo shirt is a solid, practical item of clothing that won’t let you down. You get an impressive amount of technology for your money and it’s a polo that can be worn all year round.
In summer, the built-in UV protection will keep the sun’s rays at bay, and in winter, the stretch fabric will give you complete freedom of movement, which is essential for the bottom of multiple layers. It also regulates temperature effectively and fits athletically. There is an enormous 20 color options to choose from, but the styling is one-tone and basic.
Sizes: S-3XL
Colors: 4
+ Incredible comfort
+ Has a cooling effect on warm outings
- Color options may divide opinion
A brand known for light and breathable apparel, this drycool polo from Abacus more than fits the bill. Designed for comfort and mobility, it gives you the freedom to produce your full swing.
What impressed me most when testing was its ability to keep me cool. Thanks to its moisture-wicking and breathable properties, I could always play my best golf without overheating. The sleek zippered neckline is another cool feature, adding a modern look to the polo along with its stylish contrast-colored knitted rib collar and cuffs. Coming in four different colors, you're not short of choice and as the subtle logo along the zipper points out, you can 'count on it' this summer.
Sizes: S-3XL
Colors: 14
+ Plenty of color and print options
+ Thin material works great in hot conditions
- Tends to crease slightly easily
Featuring in an array of different styles and colors, there is a lot to like about the Tagus Polo shirt from Reflo, which has 14 different options. The model I tested was the Coronet Blue and, with its Reflo branding on the right shoulder and smart all-over print, it goes well with both shorts and pants. What's more, the neutral look will go with pretty much any other color scheme.
Being a summer model polo, its thin material is extremely lightweight and breathable. This means that, in warm conditions, it kept me cool and comfortable, with the great stretch properties striking the balance, fit wise, really well. The only slight downside is that, because it is a thin material, it does crease a bit, but if you're looking for a polo for hot, summer conditions, there's not many better.
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colors: 3
+ You like a slightly more structured collar
+ You like a slightly shorter fit tucked in to your trousers
- No plain color options in this particular style
This patterned polo has real standout in three assorted blue/green-based shades. There’s a good amount of stretch of offer from the Spandex element in the fabric and it has a slightly heavier feel to it than many polos, which we like. The fit is a little shorter than some, but that said, we didn’t experience that element of constantly having to tuck it back in, which you often get from shirts woven from manmade fabrics when you’re a certain shape!
The more structured collar is a real plus, giving you the feeling that it will retain its form for much longer than certain looser-structured affairs. An eye-catching style in a true-to-size fit, it’s certainly one to look at when refreshing your wardrobe this year. For a plainer look, you’ll need to search elsewhere in Ashworth’s spring/summer 2025 collection.
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colors: 6
+ Premium feel
+ Top quality collar
Designed with premium feeling, high quality Pima Cotton fabric, the Hollow Prima Polo from Kjus just oozes comfort and performance. The fabric promotes thermoregulation and quick-drying properties, keeping you cool and comfortable on warmer days whilst not bogging you down on wetter days on the golf course.
Available in a range of colorways from block colors like black and white to the Fresca/Atlanta Blue modeled above, this polo gives you unrestricted comfort through the golf swing and helps you look and feel good in the process. Pleasingly, there are no brash logos plastered on chest or sleeve like with some rival brands - instead, Kjus stick to their process of subtly placing the logo on your back shoulder and letting the design of this eye-catching shirt do the talking.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 3
+ Ease of movement
+ Breathable
- Pattern not to all tastes
The Stuburt Bullfinch Polo Shirt is an excellent option for those looking for a new golf polo that stands out. It's comfortable and easy to swing a club in, plus it has moisture-wicking and UF-protection properties, and dries relatively quickly.
The material’s elasticity allows for perfect ease of movement throughout the swing. The shirt is long in the body so it can be tucked into pants or shorts and will stay there throughout the swing. Another plus is that the material does not crease and so can be scrunched up tight in your packing, which makes it a handy item to take on a golf trip.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 5
+ Quick drying
+ Stretchy and comfortable
- Collar could have more structure to it
It’s refreshing to see new performance-focused brands enter the golf apparel space and Municipal’s SportCross polo certainly impressed us during testing. While we can’t point directly to the TurboDry tech in the fabric for keeping us cool and comfortable on the course, this shirt was certainly a joy to wear on hot days.
The material also has a subtle texture to it, which gives it a slightly more substantial feel, but it remains lightweight and incredibly stretch so as to not impede your swing in any way.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 4
+ Flattering striped design
+ Flexible fabric maximises range of motion
- Limited off course appeal
Turtleson is becoming one of the more established brands in the premium golf apparel space and the Brady is just one example of the quality and performance on offer. The softness and movement in the material makes it highly functional for golf, managing moisture effectively but more importantly allowing you to swing without restricting.
The striped design and tailored fit will suit all body shapes and the wrinkle-free qualities mean it will look fresh however you choose to look after it. With plenty of color options, you’ll be able to match these with your favorite pants for an eye-catching look on the course.
Sizes: S-XXL
Colors: 8
+ Stretchy and lightweight fabric
+ Clean and classic look
- Design might be too unimaginative for some
For what is a very simple yet effective polo shirt offering, it is quite difficult to find much wrong with the Golf Club Essential Polo from Castore. Available in eight colors across the spectrum, this polo could easily be your go-to option for most outfits. The design is clean and simple, which could be a pro or a con depending on your view. But either way, it’s a great polo shirt with plenty more positives than negatives.
The Essential Polo fit my unathletic body shape wonderfully on and off the course and was particularly unintrusive around the shoulders and back - key areas when swinging a golf club. It has enough material down the trunk to comfortably tuck into your pants/shorts while retaining its sleek fit and was not constrictive around the throat even when buttoning up to the top.
Sizes: S-4XL
Colors: 100+ designs
+ Wrinkle-resistant and moisture-wicking
+ Huge color/design choice
- Many of the distinctive prints may not appeal to some
Sunday Swagger polos come in over 100 different prints and offer something different for everyone, whether you prefer a more subtle design or wish to stand out from the crowd as much as possible. Whichever design you choose, the quality of the Sunday Swagger men’s polo will not disappoint. The moisture-wicking stretchy fabric offers UPF 40 protection from the sun while remaining perfectly breathable.
The tailored fit made it feel like I had more than enough room to move out on the course without feeling too loose and looking untidy. You may have to possess a fair amount of confidence to venture out in a handful of the options, but if that sounds like you, I can guarantee you will be the talk of the golf club!
Sizes: XXS-3XL
Colors: 2
+ Simple, classic aesthetic
+ Tour-proven
- Roomy fit
I really liked the simple styling, some will say it is bland, but I love the understated finish along with the collar stripe to add a degree of style. Speaking of which, I was wary of the collar because it looked like a blade design, but it isn’t and is closer to a standard polo design, which I like. Available in navy and off-white, along with loads of sizes, it will suit a lot of golfers out there.
Made from a mixture of polyester, nylon, and recycled polyester, the shirt features ‘Dry-Ex’ technology which provides moisture/sweat management well, whilst it also has something called ‘Cool Touch’ yarns designed to give an instant cooling sensation. I must admit it was hard to feel this but clearly it worked in the background because during testing I felt very cool and fresh throughout.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 2
+ Very light material
+ Extremely breathable
- Not a polo for off course wear
Mizuno says the bold pattern design draws inspiration from its ST-X metal woods. It’s certainly bold and whilst the style is not going to appeal to everyone, this super sporty polo stands out and gives golfers the chance to have a bit of fun with their outfits. One of the major plus points is the shirt’s breathability - it’s extremely light and the fabric has a stretchable quality that helps with the fit.
This is one to wear on really hot days, because the material is very thin and keeps you feeling nice and cool. It also goes nicely with the Mizuno Tech gilet and the Challenger trousers and shorts. In fact, the Dash is part of a well put together range that is easy to mix and match.
How we test golf apparel
We test golf apparel in the same way we test all golf equipment, by using products properly. In relation to polo shirts this means putting them to the test out on the golf course to see if the design is well thought out, if it moves nicely throughout the swing, and simply is the polo is usable. Additionally, wearing it on the course in different conditions gives us an idea on breathability, warmth if needed, and looks.
We would also wear the polos off the golf course as well because versatility to use a garment anywhere is a great way to get value for money. The final point we wanted to mention here is no manufacturer can pay for a good review because our thorough testing team tells it how it is.
How to choose the right polo shirt
As mentioned, there is a lot to think about when picking the right polo shirt for you. With that in mind, we have come up with several things for you to think about before purchasing.
1. Length
During the golf swing if you find your shirt coming untucked often, or your belly starts to show then you should think about a polo with a longer length. That way it will remain tucked in throughout the round and beyond.
2. Fit
Do you want a more loose fitting polo or something with more of an athletic fit? Slim fit or classic fit? Most polos come in lots of sizes so be wary of getting something that isn't fitting correctly for you.
3. Sleeves
It doesn't sound that important, but a polo with sleeves too long or too short can be annoying. They should come to the middle of the upper arm, and the seam should align with the middle of the shoulders.
4. Fabric
Have a think about what fabric you would like the polo to be made from. For example, there are loads of materials used these days such as polyester, spandex, lycra, nylon and cotton. Often polos are made with a combination of these.
5. Technology
Most brands make polo shirts that offer technology to help in a variety of ways. For example, many help with moisture management and sweat wicking which keeps the body dry and comfortable. Some also offer UV protection and anti-microbial properties too, so it is worth thinking about what aspect you find important here. Of course, several of the models above have been designed with all of these facets in mind.
6. Design
Striped? Floral? An all-over print? Gone are the days of drab boring polo designs and in modern golf most brands really push the boat out. The sheer array of polo shirts we picked out above shows this clearly. Whatever fashion sense you have, there will be a polo for you.
7. Price
Of course the price is always something people should think about. There is great value to be had with the models above but there are also more premium models for those wanting to spend a little more. Put simply, there is something for everyone.
FAQs
What is the difference between a polo shirt and a golf shirt?
The main difference between a normal polo shirt and a golf shirt is the fabric used in construction. Most polos are made from fabrics like cotton and linen whilst golf polos are often made with a combination of fabrics like spandex, polyester and also cotton. After all, the golf polo has to be able to stretch and deal with the athletic movement of a golf swing.
Can you wear golf polos casually?
The short answer here is yes but it has to be the right shirt. Many of the models we selected in our best golf polos guide have understated designs that would look at home off the golf course, whilst others are perhaps best suited for the links and not many other places.
What makes a good golf polo?
A good golf polo does a lot of things. It has to be breathable, lightweight, help with sweat, protect from the sun, feel comfortable, and also look good as well. We also think the best designs can be versatile enough to be used anywhere.
