13. Linksoul Woods
Perhaps more decorative than practical, these Linksoul clubs harken back to a time when a player’s 1 Wood was actually made of wood. Handmade in Kentucky, these clubs are made of genuine North American persimmon trees. That’s the same material that provided the clubs for Bobby Jones, Ben Hogan, Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus. A modern player can take these woods to the course for a challenge, but they’re pretty enough to serve as decorations wherever golf clubs live. This isn’t a budget golf gift, but it’s the perfect conversation for a sophisticated billiards room or clubhouse.

The third cooler-related item on this list proves golf and adult beverages are forever wed, especially if you’re shopping for the best golf gifts in the summertime.

Buy: Everlane 7 $50.00
28. Acu-Strike Golf Mat
Once a player learns the basics of a golf swing — stance, grip, takeaway, release, followthrough, etc. — they face the most common challenge for any amateur player. A well-struck golf shot needs the club head to strike the ball first before hitting the ground and taking any divot. A 2019 Best New Project Winner at the PGA Merchandise Show, the Acu-Strike Golf Mat allows the practicing golfer to see where the club touched the ground in its fabric. Whether they hit behind the mark or ball-forward, the mat will reveal all. A simple swipe erases the mark. So, it’s swing, read, erase, repeat.
Buy: Acu-Strike Golf Mat 49.95
29. Vice Pro Soft Golf Balls
Vice Golf doesn’t have the longstanding reputation of Callaway or the high-tech reputation of Mizuno, but this newcomer to the golf scene is already making some of the best golf balls in the world. Available with varying core designs and coverings, Vice Golf wants to appeal to every player, from high to low handicappers, whether for distance, spin or soft landings. The Pro Soft compresses more on impact and offers more length off the tee. Like most soft golf balls, they can be more difficult to control around the greens. So, high handicap players get more distance, but low handicap players might have more trouble with shot-making.
Buy: Vice Pro Soft
30. Honma T//World W4 Wedge
Honma makes beautiful golf clubs, and the Honma T//World W4 Wedge fits in with the family nicely with its graceful lines and smoothly shaped sole. Designed ideally for turf use, especially in the rough, that smooth bottom edge improves what Honma calls “turf interaction.” That means “…it gets through the grass nicely…” to the rest of us. At the higher loft numbers like 58 or 60, you’ll see some nice backspin off more lofted shots.

Buy: Wilson 'The L' Putter $99.99
33. Finn Cycle
This isn’t a golf cart. You don’t push it. You don’t pull it. You ride it — all while looking cooler than any other golfer on the course. Essentially a fat-tired electric scooter, the Finn Cycle can cut golf round time in half as each “born to be wild” player zips to their own ball. While it’s pricey for a golf toy, the machine is available on a growing number of courses as a rental option.
Buy: Finn Cycle $3,499.00
34. BirdieBalls
Put simply; a curved, hollow BirdieBall behaves like a traditional golf ball. It will get up in the air. It’ll draw and fade. It’ll land softly. It just won’t travel more than 40 yards. It’s popular for those looking to practice in limited space environments at full speed. A player can swing full momentum and still walk over to pick up the result. The only question is how they get them off of the birdies.
Buy: BirdieBall $39.99
35. GolfLogix Plus 12 Month Subscription
The GolfLogix app brings detailed hole readouts to the user on thousands of golf courses.

Buy: GolfLogix 12 Month Subscription 49.99
36. Swing Align
The best time to learn good swing mechanics is when a player first decides to pick up the game of golf. If a golfer comes to the sport as a child, they can learn from the ground up and find a comfortable swing at an early age. For adults coming to the party a little later, getting to the Swing Align trainer early can help them learn proper swing path, arm position, hip turn and other critical physical functions.
Buy: Swing Align 124.95
37. Fami Golf Putting Cup
An executive golf classic, this putting cup is designed to turn any carpet — or hardwood, if you’re playing Pebble Beach – into a putting green. The Runytek gives you a target you can lay down anywhere from the office to home to the range (if you wisely put in between shots while hitting a bucket of balls). The hinged edges offer a little extra resistance at the end of the putt, training you to avoid the yips and leaving it short.
Buy: Fami Golf Putting Cup $6.99
38. Frogger Golf BrushPro
We once had a golf coach who warned us he would send us home from the range or golf course if we showed up with dirty golf clubs. That taught us to clean our clubs regularly after practice days and after rounds. Not only does the practice show respect for the game, but the grooves and leading edges of golf clubs also work better when they’re clean. The Frogger Golf BrushPro has different brush strengths to clean club faces and a spike to clean grooves.
Buy: Frogger Golf BrushPro
39. Arccos Caddie
The Arccos Caddie system employs a mix of a free app and specially designed sensors that plug into any standard club grip. The sensor caps work with the app to offer accurate data on shot requirements, average club distances, range-finding to the pin and advanced swing analytics. All added together, Arccos does behave like a caddy on hand to aid your round. It just can’t carry your clubs.
Buy: Arccos Caddie $266.67
40. TecTecTec ULT-G Golf GPS Watch
Hand-held, laser rangefinders work well to read the distance to the pin. Still, they require a player to put down the club, unpack the device, take a laser shot, etc. The TecTecTec ULT-G Watch keeps all of that distance reading right on the wrist for the player who simply doesn’t want that delay. Using standard GPS settings worked into thousands of courses, the comfortably weighted watch needs only a quick glance to let the wearer know distances to course hazards and the front, middle and back of greens.
Buy: TecTecTec ULT-G Golf GPS Watch $99.99
41. Qwik-Fold 3 Wheel Push Pull Golf Cart
The manufactures over at Qwik-Fold promise their 3 Wheel Push Pull Golf Cart will fold and unfold in a snap, and they mean that literally. Taking one second to open and close, the Qwik-Fold 3 Wheel comes with a handy (or “footy”) pedal brake to keep it in place on inclines. The design throws in an umbrella stand and a drink holder for kicks.
Buy: Qwik-Fold 3 Wheel Push Pull Golf Cart $179.12
42. TaylorMade Truss TM2
With an inventive hosel design, advanced alloys, and excellent balance, the TM2 puts the ball where I aim it every time. That builds confidence on the greens. Its TaylorMade engineers designed the forked mallet layout of the putter to look like a more traditional putter from above, so it doesn’t throw off the golfer.

You can’t send your favorite golfer out on the green without gifting them a classic polo from Bonobos.

Ask them their favorite color in passing and pick one up before his next outing.
Buy: Bonobos Classic Pique Polo $68.00
44. Mizuno Elite
This scribe switched to the Mizuno mid-season and stayed with it. Designed to maintain its soft feel through multiple uses with fine leather and layered stitching, the Mizuno Elite works in patches of flex mesh material to add extra flexibility and breathability — reducing sweat inside the glove. The Elite is a more affordable option from a trusted golf brand, using a bit less leather with the mesh filling in.
Buy: Mizuno Elite $15.99
45. Ping G410+
“Forgiveness” is an excellent way for a company to say to a golfer, “You’re not very good. Here’s golf club technology that will make up for some of your deficiencies.” The Ping G410+ isn’t just selling forgiveness; it provides it. Movable weights along the outside edge of the club can correct ball flight if you hook or slice. Finally, the Trajectory Tuning 2.0 shaft is adjustable to add or reduce loft.
Buy: PING G410 Plus Driver 399.00
46. Amazon Essentials Men’s Straight-fit Stretch Golf Pant

48. Bushnell Tour V5 Shift
Bushnell sets the game’s standard for golf laser rangefinders. The Tour V5 Shift sits one tick below the top of the company’s line at $399. It comes with plenty of practical features, such as a durable, high-impact design and its BITE Magnetic Mount for convenient attachments to golf carts. Still, it’s the Bushnell Slope Compensation technology that sets the Tour V5 apart. Onboard A.I. reads elevation changes and adjusts distance readout to match to allow the best possible club selection.
