Best Golf Travel Bags

A quality travel bag is a must-have for the globetrotting golfer.

Your clubs are your prized possessions and taking them away with you can always be a risk, so keep that risk as low as possible with these bags.

With travel bags, there are several things to consider. First things first they have to be strong and able to deal with the trials and tribulations of travel in planes, trains and automobiles. Strong materials, padding, and excellent construction are all vital here.

Additionally manoeuvrability is a huge benefit too because awkward travel bags make everything more difficult. Ones that move easily with strong wheels are hugely important.

We also think it is good for travel bags to be easy to identify because you never know what can happen in an airport in terms of people accidentally taking your luggage or clubs.

So acknowledging all of this below are some of the best golf travel bags currently on the market.

Finally we also recommend taking a look at some of our other guides too, such as the best golf luggage, best golf bags, and the best golf tops.
