After testing thousands of items and putting countless clubs, balls, accessories, and more through the paces, these are the standout golf gifts of 2023.
Ghost Golf Magnetic Towel
Nothing is more annoying than bending down to pick up your damp towel after lipping out a birdie putt. Ghost Golf’s Magnetic Towel is just what you need to keep your clubs, putter and golf ball clean without doing too much work.
This premium microfiber towel is easy to clean and easy to pick up – stick it anywhere metal is present.
- Magnet to attach to golf cart, pick up with golf clubs, etc
- Waffle weave pattern
- Soft Microfiber construction
- Machine washable
adidas MC80
The adidas MC80 is a newer release from the company (meaning there is a good chance your gift recipient doesn’t already have them). MC80s retail for $180 and come in four colors and in men’s and women’s sizes, making it one of the best golf gifts for 2023.
The shoe features a premium leather construction, the BOOST midsole and a TORSION bar for added stability. When we tested the adidas MC80, we found the shoes to be comfortable and stable, a tough balance to strike in golf shoes.
- Great for the male or female golfer on your list
- Four different colors
- Premium leather construction
Shot Scope Pro L2
The Shot Scope Pro L2 was the “best value” choice in our 2023 Best Rangefinder testing.
With a price tag of just $149, we didn’t expect the accuracy or technology to be as good as it is. When testing on the course, the Shot Scope Pro L2 held its own against premium rangefinders.
The Shot Scope Pro L2 has a precision clear lens, six-times magnification and target lock vibration. We found it to be quick to scan and the two-year limited warranty is a nice addition.
- Great gift for the newer golfer
- Fair pricing
- Water-resistant, adjustable eyepiece, comes with a case
SkyTrak + Launch Monitor
Save this one for the favorite person on your list.
The SkyTrak+ Launch Monitor is a dual Doppler radar system equipped with machine-learning software. What does this mean to you as a gift giver? The SkyTrak+ is very accurate with a ton of capabilities. Staying busy during the winter season won’t be a problem, making it one of the top golf gifts this holiday season.
A SkyTrak+ Launch Monitor is $2,995 and it comes with all necessary cables, the launch monitor itself, the SkyTrak App and the virtual driving range. In other words, you can give this as the best gift and it’s usable on the first day.

- 40% larger hitting area than other models (easier to set and use)
- Higher price but it’s premium technology for the serious golfer

If you have a person on your list who loves hats, get them something extra-special for cooler weather with the Melin Trenches Icon Infinite. The hat retails for $79 and comes in four colors.
What makes the Melin Trenches Icon Infinite so good for winter golf? It features a microfleece lining, water and snow resistance and the Dri-Blaze sweatband. In other words, the Melin helps you retain body heat.
- Natural antimicrobial material
- Soft interior for added comfort
- Modern modified flat bill design
Maxfli Golf Balls
We did an exhaustive golf ball test this year and one of the balls that kept coming out on top was Maxfli. If you know the swing speed of the person you are buying for, here are a few Maxfli golf balls to consider:
- High swing speed golfers: Maxfli Tour S
- Mid swing speed: Maxfli Tour S
- Low swing speed: Maxfli Tour S, Maxfli Tour X
The Stack Training System
The Stack System is a training program to help golfers gain strength, swing speed and, ultimately, more distance on the course.
This one comes with five milled Stack weights and a two-year license for The Stack training app. What we love about this is the training program that’s included. The Stack Training System retails for $349 and comes in adult and junior versions.
- Need to purchase a separate speed radar to work through the program
- Guided workouts and progress tracking
- Great for golfers looking to take their game to the next level
Johnnie-O Easton Quarter-Zip Pullover
The Johnnie-O Easton quarter-zip pullover is that perfect extra layer to throw on for an early-morning or late-afternoon tee time. It features moisture-wicking technology, breathability and UPF 50 fabric all for $228.
One of our favorite things about the Easton is the four-way stretch technology. Not all pullovers work for autumn or spring golf because they can be restrictive. The Easton pullover was made for golfers but can be worn on and off the course.
- 22% Spandex
- Built for golfers
- Can be worn on and off the course
32 Degrees Cool Classic Polo
The 32 Degrees Cool Classic Polo is a slim-fit polo with moisture-wicking technology and four-way stretch for improved mobility. The best part? It’s $10.
Colors include navy, black, grey heather and blue steel heather. If you need an inexpensive golf gift with a modern look and feel, this is a good option.
- Bulk discount: purchase three for $25
- Enough stretch for golfers
- Anti-microbial fabric
Therabody Theragun Relief
Golf can hurt. A day on the course requires a lot of walking, twisting, turning and bending and can result in aches, pains, tension and stiffness.
The Therabody Theragun is a percussive massage device that can provide relief.
The Theragun Relief retails for $149. It’s simple, lightweight and easy to use. If you know golfers who complain about muscle pain, aches and tension, this is a perfect gift.

Keeping hands quiet during the putting stroke is something that even professional golfers struggle with. The SuperStroke Zenergy Tour Grip is a Tour-proven golf grip featuring SPYNE Technology to give golfers more confidence and stability in their strokes.
If your gift recipient has ever mentioned inconsistency in their putting game, the SuperStroke Zenergy Tour Grip will make it easier to square the face. Prices start at $29.99 and there are numerous colors.
- Optimized feedback and control in the putting stroke

Garmin Approach S70
Continuing with some more technology for the tech-obsessed golfer, we have the Garmin Approach S70. The Garmin Approach S70 took the top spot in our Best Golf Watch testing this year.
We loved the 16-day battery life and the virtual caddie to help golfers choose the perfect club every time. The Garmin Approach S70 has plenty of on- and off-course functionality and health-tracking features.
If you are going to purchase a multi-functional watch for someone who plays golf, this is the one to get.
- The bright panel makes visibility easy

Revo Sonic 2
The Revo Sonic 2 are not your ordinary sunglasses. Sonic 2 frames feature Bluetooth technology, health tracking through the Revo app and 11 hours of battery life. With these sunglasses on, it becomes easy to answer a quick call on the golf course or track how many steps you took that day.

- Unique gift, better than just standard sunglasses
- Features RevoWhisper noise cancellation
- Lens technology developed with NASA
PUMA Scotia Quilted Golf Jacket
If you are buying a jacket for a golfer, make sure it’s designed specifically for a golfer. Most jackets don’t give the flexibility that players need to swing and stay warm at the same time.
The PUMA Scotia quilted golf jacket is water-resistant, has a two-way zipper and retails for $260. It comes in navy or black.
- Great for cold-weather golfers

goodr Back 9 Blackout
The goodr Back9 Blackout are $25 polarized sunglasses made for golfers. The lenses are built with a non-reflective material. No squinting required!
What we love about the goodr is the no-slip and no-bounce technology. Some golfers have a fear of sunglasses sliding down their face while swinging and the design of the Back9 Blackout prevents that.
The bottom line: Even though these cost just $25, they have a lot to offer and make an affordable gift choice.
- Great value
- Easier to see the ball at setup
Yeti Rambler
The Yeti Rambler 18oz is the perfect size for a round of golf. Staying hydrated while golfing is incredibly important to help avoid injury and stay focused on the game.
Look for the Rambler with the Chug Cap. When it’s sitting in the golf cart cup holder, it’s much less likely to spill. For bonus points, be sure to add on the new Cocktail Shaker lid.

Liv and Let Die
If the golfer in your life is a reader, LIV and Let Die by Alan Shipnuck is a great gift option. Shipnuck delves deep into the tumultuous world of professional golf, highlighting the conflict between the PGA TOUR and the LIV Golf League.
Golfers will enjoy the behind-the-scenes drama, secret meetings and personal feuds. For $27, this book provides a lot of insight and entertainment.
Palm Utility Rangefinder Case
The Palm Utility Rangefinder Case fits a golf rangefinder and a phone. Rangefinders are an expensive piece of golf tech to replace so they have to stay protected. The Palm’s fleece lining and padding accomplish that.

- $40
Strategies For Buying The Best Golf Gifts of 2023
Our best golf gifts of 2023 list has options for clothing, head covers, technology and more. How can you possibly choose the right one? Here are our best strategies to follow.
- Start with price: Golf gifts can range from $5 to $5,000 or more. Narrow things down first by how much you want to spend
- Think outside the box: If you want to really impress, you have to look for unique gifts, not the standard box of golf balls.
- Consider technology: Even avid golfers have a hard time staying current with the latest golf technology. You can usually find an opportunity to get someone a gift they will love (and use!).
- Consider the player: A 35 handicap and a 5 handicap will likely value different golf products. Have some idea of the handicap of the golfer you are purchasing for.
