In recent years, OGIO has developed a reputation for bold and colorful patterns, as you can see on the All Elements and Fuse stand bags below. We're aware these styles aren't for everyone and if you're more of a golfing traditionalist, you might just love the OGIO shadow stand bag...

This luxury bag certainly has class and shelf appeal with its sleek, modern design blended with a classic, timeless aesthetic. It's built to last too—it's constructed with premium synthetic leather, premium stitched handles and carbon fiber legs that are every bit as strong and sturdy as they sound

In testing, we found the straps to be some of the most comfortable on any of the top stand bags we've tested. This is thanks to the Fit Disk technology which automatically adjusts the straps to level out the bag when picked up onto your shoulders. These can also be adjusted manually for the perfect fit. Plus, the perforated moulded hip pad is extremely soft for comfort and breathable to stop your back sweating on hotter day.

Of course, storage is critical too. There's 9 pockets in total including two magnetic pockets, ideal for tees, balls and valuables. Our qualm was the lack of space; the larger pocket was barely big enough to fit a sweater. This could be dealbreaker if you play in all weather conditions and may look to carry a rain jacket or trousers. But if this isn't a dealbreaker, we are confident you will enjoy the performance from the Shadow bag.

Not everyone will like the external ball storage compartment

Available in five eye-catching colorways, the first thing you will notice about this Fuse Stand Bag is how beautifully designed it is. We tested the 'Aloha Oe' model and, if that look isn't to your tastes, then OGIO have other models available, some equally as bright, and others a touch more subdued.

It's not just the look where this bag performs, as the overall construction of the bag is very strong and durable throughout. There are multiple solid sections, such as the top rim, bottom of the bag and the stand, but there are also more delicate areas, such as the soft padded back rest or the soft inner lining of the valuables pocket. Coming in at 4.8lbs or 2.1kg, the bag is easy to carry and comparable with some of the best lightweight golf bags.

Providing users with a four-way divider and six spacious pockets, we really enjoyed carrying this bag for multiple rounds on the course, as the ample storage, sturdy construction and a comfortable carry make this one of the best golf stand bags currently on the market.

The color options won't be for everyone

Perhaps one of the coolest, stylish and eye-catching bags currently on the market, the OGIO All Elements Hybrid Stand Bag combines exceptional looks with performance. OGIO have broken the mold in terms of their fresh and funky designs and we salute them for their innovative styles, which are perfect for any golfer looking to make a statement on the course.

But this bag is more than just looks. To begin with it is fully waterproof, with its seam sealed zips keeping our belongings protected whilst they store nicely in the bag's nine roomy pockets. It's slightly larger than a standard carry bag like the Ping Hoofer and as a result has plenty of storage space like a cart bag would.

If you're the type of player who likes to have all your clubs neatly organized but doesn't want to carry around a tour bag, then the eight-way divider on the top of this bag is ideal organizationally.

One other cool thing about this bag is that it houses a ball silo on the back, which, while seeming slightly gimmicky, housed a full packet of the best premium golf balls easily.

Legs don't fold out automatically

The clue was in the name, but this is arguably the most fun I've had testing a golf bag of late. OGIO's new Sunday bag - playfully named Funday - has hit the brief of a lightweight, easy to use, pencil-style golf that is designed for sheer ease of use for a quick nine holes in the evening - but with clever new additions that add even more practicality.

For Funday, OGIO has added two modular pockets that allow you to customise your storage needs, both of which can be moved about or simply removed if you don't need them which is a great innovation in my opinion.

One pet peeve I have with Sunday bags is that, in the quest for the most lightweight design possible, they'll sacrifice comfort in that quest. This typically means the straps can often be rather uncomfortable, but it's not the case with this bag. Instead, the moulded shoulder and hip pads are brilliant and offer that extra bit of padding every golf bag should have, regardless of the weight. The Funday is the epitome of clever design and continues OGIO's momentum in making excellent golf bags.

The color options will divide opinion

The All Elements cart bag is part of OGIO's re-introduction into golf and won a place in our Editor's Choice. We put the All Elements bag to the test in grim weather and we can confirm the bag is definitely fully waterproof throughout. As with the Silencer Cart Bag, the eye-catching aesthetic will definitely divide opinion but we think it's a welcome and refreshing look for the golf bag category.

There's plenty of space too. The All Elements bag features 11 pockets with two large side ones for your waterproofs and other larger items of clothing, then there’s options galore for your valuables, balls, umbrella and drinks (with an insulated cooler pocket). Along with pockets, there are 15 dividers, with each of them particularly roomy for each of your clubs, and there’s even room for an extra slot where any alignment sticks can go.

We're aware that the All Elements is slightly more expensive than some of the best golf bags on the market. But we genuinely believe that OGIO really have thrown everything at this bag and we can say with some confidence that this will last you forever. The detailing inside the pockets and the feel and ease of the zips are obvious signposts that this is a step up when it comes to functionality, durability and quality.

Minimal interior pocket space

OGIO’s Renegade is one of the best golf travel bags we have tested and the top model from OGIO at the moment. It delivers in every way you would want a travel bag to, particularly when it comes to durability.

Constructed from recycled yet ultra-tough 1680D ballistic polyester, the exterior is built to withstand knocks and scrapes. Inside the cover, 600D abrasion panels help absorb shock, while generous padding on the upper half of the bag protects the most vulnerable area - your clubheads. The base also deserves praise as OGIO’s SLED system (Structural Load Equalizing Deck) adds a large, reinforced plastic platform that boosts stability and durability when the bag is dragged or set down.

There is also robust strapping on the inside and outside, including compression straps which help secure the bag in place during transit.

I was also impressed by the Renegade’s large, smooth-rolling wheels that make it very easy to maneuver. Overall the Renegade performs exceptionally well for its design category and combines toughness, practicality and style in one very capable package.

Ogio Renegade Travel Cover review

Getting into specifics, we test golf bags outdoors on premium golf courses to get a thorough understanding on what design features each bag offers. This testing takes place over a number of rounds and we aim to test all bags in different conditions to see how they perform. Using the bags over a significant period of time gives us insight into details like durability, usability, overall performance and just how easy they are to use day-to-day.

Ultimately, we aim to be as insightful and honest as possible in our reviews, so it is important to acknowledge that no manufacturer can buy a good review. This is because our team tells it how it is. To learn more about our methodology, see how Golf Monthly tests products in our guide.

How to choose a golf bag

There are several things you should think about before buying a golf bag and we have laid out the most important below...

Bag type

Put simply, what kind of bag do you want? And it normally boils down to two options: stand bag or cart bag? Both have their positives and negatives, so you should think about what is most important to you. Stand bags are built for those who want to carry their clubs, so factors like comfort and weight are very important. Added features like waterproofing, as well as the strength and robustness on offer might also be a consideration many have.

The two negatives most associated with stand bags are they require more effort to use, and they usually don't offer as much storage as cart bags. However, that being said, there are several options above that can also be used on golf carts, so maybe that is a way of killing two birds with one stone.

Cart bags are for those who want to use golf carts on the golf course. If this is you, then you'll likely want a stable model that is not only easy to lift and move around, but also one that sits firmly on your cart. One big advantage we have found is that cart bags also tend to offer ample storage for accessories, apparel, valuables and all the other golf paraphernalia you might need during the round. The main negative is they are just bulkier and have to be taken off the cart before and after the round, whereas stand bags offer a bit more freedom.

Storage

These days a good golf bag has to have pockets for the many different reasons mentioned above. Cart bags tend to have larger pockets because they are just that, larger. They also require less effort to use, which means players are able to carry more stuff with them if needed.

Stand bags on the other hand usually have enough to house just the essentials. But this might be all that's required depending on your round-to-round requirements. So, have a think about how much gear you want to take onto the golf course, and pick a bag accordingly.

Waterproofing

If you live or golf somewhere that gets a lot of rain, then getting a waterproof bag is a no-brainer. If you don't, however, this factor won't be as important. We should acknowledge that some models above are better than others in this regard because they have been designed as such.

Weight

Across all types of bag, weight is important. Stand bags obviously have to be lightweight because players will be carrying them on their backs and shoulders all day, while cart bags should also have a degree of lightness so they are easy to maneuver on the golf course, and from the car to the cart itself. Thankfully most brands these days make lightweight models across their ranges because not many players want to use a heavy bag.

Looks

How do you want your golf bag to look? Whatever the model, brands try their best to create design aesthetics that stand out, or blend in on the golf course. Therefore have a think about which models you like the look of, or if some bags have different color schemes.

Budget

Our final factor to consider is of course price. There are golf bags at every single price point, so if you want to go for a premium model you can, or if you want a cheap stand bag you can also do that too.

FAQs

Should I buy a stand bag or a pencil bag?

A stand bag typically is a bit heavier than a pencil bag, but allows you to carry more clubs and equipment. A pencil bag is better for players who carry fewer clubs or dont want to be burdened by carrying a large weight on their back. That's why they're often called Sunday bags as they can be great to load a few clubs in for a quick round on a Sunday. Depending on what type of golf you want to play, either can be great options for amateur golfers.

Is it important to get a golf bag with a good strap?

Yes, particularly if you suffer from back pain. Golfers should always look to take care of their posture by buying a golf bag that disperses the weight of their clubs out over their shoulders. A golf bag with a full set of clubs inside of it can be very heavy to carry over 18 holes. So it is important to remember to buy one that is comfortable and supportive on your back.

What bags do most golfers use?

The majority of amateur golfers use golf stand bags. They are lightweight, generally easy to carry and you can stand them up pretty much everywhere on the course. The majority of professionals use tour bags as they are larger, can fit more equipment and are typically carried by caddies.

If OGIO is not for you though, also make sure you check out some of our other bag guides from other brands - such as the best Titleist golf bags, best TaylorMade golf bags, or the best Ping golf bags.
