Holiday Gifts from $50-$100
Looking to add an extra touch to your gift-giving while still keeping it real with the budget? This category offers a range of practical and personalized gifts suitable for all golfers. First up is this golf scorecard and photo album, perfect for remembering all the bucket list golf courses they played or that great golf vacation they took this year. And speaking of great golf trips, if you’ve got a collector on your list then consider a handcrafted golf collectible display from Great Golf Memories. No matter what they collect, they’ve got a high quality display to organize it and make it a showpiece in any room.
For those who enjoy a libation or fine cocktail, this barware collection features golf-themed glassware that can be personalized with a name or initials or stock versions adorned with golf scores that celebrate the game with every toast they make. They’re a can’t miss item, just like these authentic Masters hats purchased at the tournament store.
If you want to give the gift of better golf, consider some equipment that makes it easier to practice golf at home. This 10x7 ft practice hitting net pops up in a jiff so players can shag balls anytime there’s a break in the weather. With three target holes above a central bullseye, golfers can practice a variety of shots while the side panels catch any errant hits. And if they’re going to be taking swings into the net, a diagnostic tool like the Divot Board provides immediate feedback that golfers just can’t replicate on artificial mats.
Want to help them deck the halls with Masters golf art? This quality framed canvas poster is made from a digitally remastered map reproduced from an original pairing sheet given to patrons during the 1981 Masters golf tournament. Each pairing sheet featured the starting times on one side, and a map of Augusta National Golf Club on the other. Available in multiple sizes, this is the perfect decoration for any Masters party, man cave, clubhouse or pro shop. It provides a unique view of the entire course and the full text of a message from Robert Tyre Jones, Jr., President of ANGC, written in April of 1967.
Golf Gifts in the $100-$250 Price Range
With a bit more room in your holiday budget, you can indulge with some really fantastic gifts. Treat their feet to the latest in golf shoe fashion from two of the top brands in the game. The Nike Air Jordan Men’s 1 Low G Essential Golf Shoes are perfect for those who like a stylish golf shoe, offering a retro look that will thrill any child of the 80s or 90s. For those who prefer a classic style, you can’t go wrong with Foot Joy DryJoys, one of the premiere spikeless waterproof golf shoes on the market today. Enhance the gift by including a stylish Masters shoe bag, purchased from the tournament store in Augusta to keep duffle bags and car trunks free of dirt and grass after the round.
If their shoe collection is already up to par, level up their playing space with a golf club floor display stand. Crafted from solid hardwood, this stand accommodates 14 clubs and 13 golf balls, showcasing vintage golf clubs or keeping sticks at the ready for their next simulator session. For a more entertaining twist, explore budget-friendly and highly-rated golf simulator games, advanced swing training aids, or authentic Masters apparel like these Masters performance golf shirts, available in various styles and colors. To complete the ensemble, a genuine Masters duffel bag with five storage compartments and a sturdy shoulder strap makes for a practical and stylish accessory, ideal for weekend getaways or trips to the course and gym alike.
If you want to give that golfer in your life something to pass the time over the winter, the Phigolf2 golf simulator is a really fun toy. It uses your television to connect with a modified swing stick that is surprisingly responsive and while it might be more game than golf simulator, nobody is going to complain when it yields hours of fun for the whole family.
While winter does put a damper on our ability to golf, there are always breaks in the weather that afford intrepid golfers a chance to get out and take some swings. And when those times come, a “Sunday” style golf bag is the perfect lightweight companion. One of our favorite versions is the Sunday Loma from the Sunday Golf Company, which can hold up to six clubs and all the necessities you need for a brisk walk spoiled. Of all the golf bags we reviewed this past year, my Sunday Loma golf bag review was one of our favorites!
Last but not least is a swing training system from Scotland called Golf’s Essential Move (GEM). The creators of this golf swing aid say that this particular move (proper wrist hinge and getting your lead hand square at impact) is the hardest thing to teach in golf instruction. So what the GEM Trainer does is helps you physically feel that motion. Working with the GEM promises to help you unlock more power and achieve incredible distance by learning how to release the club head faster through the hitting area.
Holiday Gifts in the $250-$500 Budget Range
This section of our holiday gift guide kicks off with a versatile clothing pick suitable for any occasion but perfect for cooler temps: the quarter-zip Masters green pullover. Whether it's a day on the golf course, a post-round gathering at the 19th hole, or a casually stylish day at the office, this piece is a wardrobe staple. Emblazoned with the iconic Masters logo on the chest, it seamlessly integrates into any ensemble, offering the multi-functional appeal that suits a diverse range of activities during the festive season.
For tech-savvy golf enthusiasts, the BlueTees Range Finder has a range of 900 yards, slope measurement, and a magnetic strip for secure attachment to golf carts or pull caddies. This device perfectly combines precision and convenience on the course. If your gift recipient is into golf analytics, consider the Arccos Caddie system. It's a wearable shot-tracking device that syncs seamlessly with sensors placed in the clubs, giving golfers the gift of detailed data on every shot through a mobile app that calculates average distances, strokes gained, and shots hit per round. This comprehensive bundle equips them with everything needed to inform their thinking and improve their on-course golf strategy.
If there’s a golf trip on the holiday horizon or in the new year to come, this sturdy golf club cover from OGIO will give even the most anxious of travelers peace of mind that their precious clubs will be protected from the hazards of air travel. With padding all around and heavy duty wheels, this travel case is large enough to fit all types of golf bags without taking up the storage space that a hard shell requires. And if they’re in the market for a new bag, consider the Ghost Golf Anyday 5.0, one of the best hybrid golf bags on the market. In our field test and Ghost Golf bag review, we found this to offer the most feature-packed and comfortable carry of all the bags we tested this year.
If you want to give the gift of better putting, then equipment isn’t sufficient. You need to give them the gift of practice, and that requires a proper indoor setup. Fortunately, a DIY indoor putting green is easier than you think with a kit from Camry Golf. This isn’t just a roll-out mat, this is a framed and raised putting surface that uses PGA-level materials trusted by the likes of US Open Champion Webb Simpson. While this DIY kit will take a little work, there are step-by-step instructions for assembly so if you’ve got the space, this gift will be appreciated for years to come.
Our last gift in this category is the best, most affordable piece of technology in golf: the FlightScope Mevo portable launch monitor. If you want your golfer to practice like the pros, this doppler-enabled launch monitor is worth the splurge. Take it to any driving range, home simulator, or golf course and get data across 8 parameters for full swing performance and accurate spin measurements. If improvement is a New Years resolution, this will help them get there.
Great Golf Gifts for $500-$1500
If you're looking to make a lasting impression, these are the gifts that will truly enchant them during the Christmas season. First on the list is the extra-large version of Camry Golf’s indoor putting green system—a perfect addition to the holiday festivities and one that will help any golfer beat the winter blues. Spanning an impressive 18' x 26', this indoor putting carpet boasts a stimpmeter grade of 11, ensuring that putts on this surface roll faster in preparation for the high-quality greens they’ll encounter this spring. With the option to introduce breaks for practicing more than just straight putts, this setup includes 6 cups, detailed instructions, and the build plan found in the smaller version. This in-home putting oasis brings immense joy, especially when the weather outside isn't conducive to outdoor play, making it a splendid Christmas gift.

For those who prefer a ready-made solution as they gear up for the festive season, you can explore pre-made indoor putting greens that offer a touch of realism and authentic green conditions.

Although it operates slightly slower than the Camry version (scoring a 9 on the stimpmeter), the hassle-free, tool-free setup of this two-cup modular system ensures an outstanding indoor putting experience—perfect for a killer indoor putting setup..

Now, let's explore two gifts designed to enhance their mobility on the golf course, perfect for bringing a touch of holiday magic to his game. First on the list is the Alphard Club Booster Push Cart Conversion Kit—an ingenious accessory that lives up to its name by converting any push/pull cart into a fully remote-controlled golf caddy. Compatible with most push cart models, this kit allows for remote control or a convenient follow mode, ensuring his golf bag glides effortlessly throughout the round. Whether they opt for manual control or let the kit do the work, relieving them of the burden of a heavy bag on their shoulders and placing it on a battery-powered push cart will undoubtedly grant the energy to concentrate on their game all season long.
As an alternative, consider the top-of-the-line remote control push cart from Callaway, offering a seamless blend of technology and convenience for an extra special Christmas on the golf course.

Simply toss their bag onto this rig, press a button, and they'll never be out of reach of while savoring their leisurely stroll on the course. The rechargeable lithium-ion battery sustains power for up to 27 holes and conveniently folds up for effortless transportation and storage post-round.
The last two recommendations within this budget category zero in on game improvement. The Net Return Pro Large Golf Package, now in its second generation, presents a lightweight and rust-proof hitting net suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. The package includes a spacious 6’ x 10’ hitting net with side barriers to corral any errant shots (because, let's face it, they happen), one Pro Turf hitting mat, two rubber tees, and a convenient duffel bag for effortless packing. Crafted in the USA, this practice aid is ideal for individuals who prefer honing their golf skills in the comfort of their home. Designed to withstand ball speeds of up to 225 MPH, it allows them to swing away with confidence!
But what about the golfer who is ready to upgrade their actual playing equipment? You can gift them a complete set of one of the most popular golf clubs ever made: the RBZ Speedlite from TaylorMade. This package includes a 10.5-degree lofted driver, two fairway woods, two rescue clubs, perimeter-weighted irons, a wedge, putter, and golf bag. If they want to get golfing fast, this is a great set for players of all skill levels who are looking to get serious about their golf game.
Golf Gifts from $1500 & Up!
If you've got the cash, these next two sections showcase some of the premier golf equipment in the game. From the Mercedes of golf caddies to launch monitors fit for the pros, the gifts we recommend here will spoil your favorite golfer beyond their wildest imagination.
Consider, for instance, the ForeCaddy Smart Follow golf caddy. This piece of equipment has every feature you can imagine: a beverage and umbrella holder, wireless phone charger, sand bottle holder for fixing divots, and a convenient surface for the scorecard. This sleek piece of tech is powered by two high-power electric motors with speed control and auto-braking, with enough battery juice for 36 holes. They don’t even need to steer it; just set the remote to “follow” mode, and it will accompany them all over the course. This item spares no expense, and it shows.
Maybe your giftee wants to upgrade an existing simulator setup, or has dreams of creating their own? Then they’ll love the 2023 edition FlightScope Mevo+ Launch Monitor, one of the most advanced in the game. They can use it indoors and outdoors to get the type of golf performance data that used to be available only to the pros. This is the golf monitor of choice for professionals, golf coaches, and club fitters because of its patented FlightScope Fusion Tracking technology, which uses 3D Doppler tracking radar and synchronized high-speed image processing to provide the type of accuracy and consistency for every golf shot.
Link it up to their phone or tablet through compatible software to deliver simulated play at some of the most storied courses in golf, or enjoy a simulated range session with more advanced analytics than they’ll know what to do with. If you don’t have the budget for a complete golf simulator package, or are buying a rig piece by piece, this is the type of technology that can do no wrong.
If you’re on the fence about golf simulators because of the space they consume, then we have good news. With the right projector, you can create a multi-purpose setup that works for golf simulation and lets you stream television and movies that everyone can enjoy! That’s the advantage of the Optomo Golf Simulator Projectors, which are some of the most popular in the industry. These projectors use “short throw” projection, which is ideal for golf simulators and designed for smaller spaces like indoor setups to limit shadows and deliver a crystal-clear simulation experience. Even with light in the room, the 3000+ lumens these projectors deliver let you avoid playing in the dark. Plus, their full 1080p High Def resolution lets you enjoy all forms of entertainment, and their built-in speakers deliver enough punch to make it count.
If the golfer on your list wants to benefit from all this advanced technology without bringing it home, consider booking them a golf club fitting session with the experts at Club Champion. They offer a 3.5-hour fitting session for every club in the bag, going through their methodical 8-step process to deliver the optimal clubs for their body type and game. If they’re in the market for new clubs, then taking the extra time to go through the club fitting process will provide a nice return on their investment, and they’ll learn a lot about their game during the process.
Or maybe they’ve already got their eyes on some of the most beautiful sticks in the game: hand-forged Miura irons. Equal parts art and function, these irons are coveted by golfers in the know, and the price tag certainly adds to the exclusivity. Miura has been making the world’s finest forged golf clubs since 1957 in Himeiji, Japan, where they are hand-crafted, club by club, and inspected by the company founder Katsuhiro Miura or one of his two sons. If you want to see them smile wider than they ever have before, watch them open a set of these on Christmas morning. They’ll be the envy of every one of their golfing friends.
Many shoppers in this budget category are thinking about going big with a home golf simulator. It’s hard to blame them. Today’s setups tout top-notch performance with multi-functional use for streaming movies, television, and video games. Take, for example, the Net Return™ Simulator Golf Series Net & Screen. Now you can have the ultimate golf simulator experience without dedicating space purely for golf, as the high-quality screen displays all types of media, including any golf simulator software. The lightweight aluminum includes side barriers to protect your walls and can be set up by one person in 45 minutes. That means your home theater can become a high-tech practice range for dad, or vice versa, for a premium family home entertainment space that everyone can enjoy.
If you’d rather dedicate your simulation budget to the sole purpose of golf but don’t have the luxury of infinite floor space, then the OptiShot 2 Golf In A Box Pro Golf Simulator Package is worth considering. It comes with everything they need for an indoor golf experience, including a retractable screen enclosure, high-quality projector, premium hitting pad, and OptiShot software featuring simulated play at 15 world-class golf courses.
For The #1 Golfer on the Holiday List
For the person who has been the best, golf technology isn’t the only 5-figure golf gift you can buy, like sending them away on an epic bucket list golf trip or the absolute best golf clubs on the market.
Consider a four-day pass to the Masters, which you can get on Vividseats for around $12k. If they’ve never gone, the chance to experience the opening round through the back nine on Sunday is a dream for many golf fans. And if this is stretching your budget, you can at least rest easy and know that once they’re inside the club, Masters food prices are low enough that they can eat and drink like royalty each day for less than $100.
But we’ve saved the best for last: the most expensive golf irons in the world. Now you might think that a $30k set of irons would be the exclusive domain of the pros, but that’s not the case. The Honma BERES Aizu Irons fall into the game-improvement category, which means they’re made for everyday golfers with a cavity-back design producing high launch angles and greater distance. They honestly look like they belong in a museum. Their intricately designed club heads and proprietary shaft technology offer maximum forgiveness for any swing. Honma is a Japanese company that has been making golf clubs for over 60 years, and the BERES line has been linked to celebrities and sports stars like Jack Nicholson and Roger Clemens. If spoiling them is on YOUR Christmas list, then Honma golf clubs will deliver the highest watermark you could ever attain!
No matter what you gift them, and no matter how much you spend, they’ll appreciate the thought and effort you put into selecting the best golf gift. Whether it’s a personal touch, high end technology, premium equipment or a bucket list golf vacation, Christmas with a golf-theme is sure to please even the most discerning of people.
