Best Gifts for Kid Golfers

Getting the golf bug early on is a huge advantage. It’s finally cool to be a kid golfer. That’s not how it was when I was a kid! If your child, grandchild, niece or nephew is passionate about golf and you’re looking for the perfect gift, we’ve got you covered. Whether you’re shopping on a budget or looking to spend more, we have options for every price range. Here are some of our top picks for the best gifts for kid golfers in 2024.

Rovic RV3J Push Cart

Kids have tons of energy to burn and don’t have a driver’s license so walking the course is a no-brainer. However, we all know that golf can be a little less fun when you have to lug your gear around.

ClicGear solved that problem with the Rovic RV3J Push Cart.

This push cart is designed specifically for junior golfers and weighs just 12.5 pounds. It has a compact console and easy-access foot brake. There are four colors to choose from so it’s easy to find one your junior golfer will love.

Go For It Golf Kids Putter

The Go For It Golf Kids Putter is an affordable gift for new kid golfers.

The putter is adjustable from 17 to 35 inches so it can grow with the child. It’s a standard blade-style putter that can work around the house or at any putting green to get kids interested in the most important aspect of the game.

The package includes three golf balls and a cup so it’s usable as soon as it’s opened—an important aspect of any gift for kids.

Ralph Lauren Bear Crewneck

Part of being a great golfer is looking the part on and off the course. The classic-looking Ralph Lauren Bear Crewneck is a great place to start. It will get any junior golfer through the winter months. Pair it with the Whitman Relaxed Fit Corduroy Pant from Ralph Lauren and you’ll have a complete winter golf outfit.

PING Prodi G Clubs

This isn’t your typical junior golf set made with budget materials.

PING uses the same technology that you’ll find in their top-of-the-line clubs for adults. The driver features a 460cc head, a thin TI face and optimized ball speeds using Spinsistency technology. PING has a fitting tool called WebFit Junior to help guide you to the exact set configuration your junior golfer needs.

Vice Pro Air Neon Drip

I don’t care how old you are, the Vice Pro Air Neon Drip golf balls are cool.

In fact, they are on both of my kids’ Christmas lists this year. If the Pro Air doesn’t work, the Drive comes in blue, pink and yellow.

The Vice Drive is a very affordable golf ball for a junior player. For better players with a little more speed, the Vice Pro Plus shade could be a good choice.

Shot Scope PRO L2 Laser Rangefinder

The Shot Scope PRO L2 laser rangefinder typically retails for $149,but it’s currently on sale for $129. If you have a junior golfer starting to get some consistency in their game, a rangefinder is a great gift.

With this PRO L2 laser rangefinder (our best-value rangefinder of 2024), your junior golfer gets a built-in cart magnet, slope technology, 6X magnification and a precision clear lens. The Shot Scope PRO L2 may not be as feature-packed as the top golf rangefinders of 2024 but this is a perfect option for a good junior player.

Playing it Forward Golf Cart Towel

Kids want all the gear and accessories that adults have. I recently bought one of these towels for my daughter and it’s been a huge hit.

As much as I love magnetic golf towels, the towel with the clip is less likely to get lost among the junior crowd. The Playing it Forward golf cart towel has several designs and patterns.

Tin Cup Golf Ball Stencil

If you know a kid who likes art, attention to detail and golf, the Tin Cup golf ball stencils make a great gift. There are dozens of designs to pick from and all you need is a Sharpie marker to customize golf balls with fun logos.

Bad Birdie Golf Shirts

Bad Birdie has some great golf shirts for kids. The fabric is comfortable and not restrictive. My kids love the patterns and designs they have to choose from. There are options for boys’ and girls’ polo shirts and the sizing is true to size.

SKLZ Golf Indoor Putting Green

The SKLZ Golf indoor putting green is a great gift for junior golfers. This one can be set up indoors as a place to practice when it’s hard to get to the course. Combining this gift with the GoSports Align Putting Gates can make it even more fun.

GoSports Pure Putt Challenge

If you or the junior you are buying for already has a large carpeted area to practice putting and doesn’t necessarily need a putting mat, the GoSports Pure Putt Challenge makes it easy to set up a mini golf course at home. We’ve had a lot of fun with this one. It comes with golf balls, cups and a reusable scorecard.

FootJoy Fuel Junior Golf Shoes

Finding junior golf shoes in various sizes is harder than you might think. The FootJoy Fuel Junior golf shoes hold up well, come in two different styles and are always in great shape when my kids grow out of them.

We’ve noticed that the FootJoy Fuel junior shoes have great traction. If you know a junior golfer who has only played with sneakers and has yet to try golf shoes, this is a gift they will appreciate.

Palm Golf Coast to Coast Youth Snapback

Every golfer should have a hat they love and it’s hard not to love the Palm Golf Coast to Coast Youth Snapback. These are designed for juniors and come in several patterns so pick one that matches your kid’s style.
