Stewart Golf Nero Cart Bag Review

Stewart Golf has been making some of the best remote electric trolleys and best push carts for the best part of a decade now, so it’s only appropriate that the brand dipped its toe into the cart bag market to help compliment its award winning range of trolleys. While the brand had dabbled before in some mid-market cart bag options, the new Nero represents the first premium cart bag offering from Stewart. We took it for a spin on our Stewart Vertx Remote to see what it had to offer.

We really like the sleek black look Stewart has opted for here. It compliments the trolley nicely and the all-black means it won’t mark up too quickly, looking fresh and sharp season after season in all weather conditions. It is made from a tour-grade synthetic leather meaning it's soft to the touch and looks very premium too. It wipes clean really easily too, which is a nice added benefit. 

This bag excels from a practical point of view, too. Nine pockets in total include two plush velour-lined valuables pockets, a large insulated front pocket and a magnetic front pocket which is ideal for a rangefinder. The insulated front pocket is huge. You can easily store a couple of bottles and some food in there with room for more. This impressed me as far too many of the larger cart bags like this neglect the cooler pocket. 

Further functionality comes from the umbrella sleeve, 9.5in 14-way full-length dividers and a padded shoulder strap which comes in handy when taking it from the trolley to the car. The extra large putter well is a nice touch too, which holds putters with any sized grip. Another nice added touch is the customisable zipped front panel. This can be zipped on and off in its entirety and allows you to customise this part of the bag with some embroidery if you wish to. A keyed base allows the Nero to sit perfectly flush on Stewart trolleys like the Vertx or QFollow. It’s much like the case in that Motocaddy and PowaKaddy cart bags are built to integrate seamlessly with those respective electric trolleys - the Nero is much the same. 

Being brutally honest, this isn’t a cart bag that anyone not already using a Stewart trolley will really be looking for, and I suspect the brand knows this. However, I think it's the perfect companion for anyone who already has or who is looking to invest in a Stewart trolley. It really completes the look and I think anyone who uses it will deeply appreciate the efforts Stewart has gone into to create a premium, functional cart bag that perfectly complements its range of premium golf trolleys.
