2022 BLUETOOTH SPEAKERS BUYER’S GUIDE

Do you listen to music on the golf course?

We have tested some of the best Bluetooth speakers on the market to help you jiggle jiggle and fold.

Some speakers are fully waterproof with the ability to link multiple speakers while others can tell you what yardage you have to the hole—all while listening to your favorite music.

During testing, some models stood out for their sound quality and robust features. No matter your budget, you can buy a speaker to keep you swinging to the beat.

Whether you’re looking to buy a Bluetooth speaker today, need some buying advice to get started or just want a closer look at what’s on the market, this guide will help you find the right speaker to fit your needs.

Winner: UE WonderBoom 2

If you want the best Bluetooth speaker, look no further than the UE WonderBoom 2. Its compact design might look unassuming but it packs a punch. It comes with a 360-degree sound with a meatier base to help you hear your song from 20 feet away. The WonderBoom 2 is also fully waterproof. Throw in 13 hours of battery life and you have the best Bluetooth speaker of 2022.

MOST DURABLE SPEAKER - ROKFORM G-Rok

If you want a bluetooth speaker that can handle a few bumps and bruises along the way, the ROKFORM G-Rok is the one for you. Its military outer casing can withstand drops, bumps, club slams, you name it, it will still work.

The Best Bluetooth Speakers – Features That Matter

Connectivity

No matter how great a speaker sounds, it’s only as good as its connection. The best Bluetooth speakers for golf allow you plenty of room to wander.

The top performers maintained their connectivity despite 40-plus yards of separation. If you carry your phone while playing, especially if you find yourself wandering far from your cart, maximizing your connectivity distance is essential to keeping the music going.

The JBL Clip 3 and the JBL Flip 4 offer superb Bluetooth connectivity.

Sound Clarity (Omnidirectional versus directional)

Listening to music should be an immersive experience. Sound quality shouldn’t fade because you’re on the wrong side of your speaker. The sound from directional speakers is less immersive, often limited by the direction the speaker is facing. We found that omnidirectional speakers are better suited for the golf course and are the best Bluetooth speakers for a golf cart.

Speakers like the UE WonderBoom 2, Treblab HD77 and Bose Soundlink Revolve are great examples of quality omnidirectional speakers. Directional speakers are not as well suited for the 360-degree challenge of the golf course, at least for those looking for consistent sound in and out of the cart.

Battery Life

Bluetooth speakers can last from five to 36 hours per charge. For a day that starts at the course and ends at the pool, an extra couple of hours can come in handy.

Examples of the best Bluetooth speakers that have long-lasting battery life are Treblab FX100, RokForm G-Rok and Anker Soundcore, which offer 36 and 24 hours of boogie time.

EXPERT TIP - Finding the Right Speaker for How You Travel the Course

Golfers who walk should favor smaller and lighter speaker options. The ideal solution is likely one that clips to your bag. Golfers who prefer to ride, should take advantage of sound-rich speakers which easily fit in the car's cup holders.

MOST FEATURE RICH - Precision Pro ACE Smart Speaker

The Precision Pro ACE Smart Speaker not only plays music but it has a LCD face which shows GPS yardages as well as relays those yardages via voice control. The ACE Smart Speaker take into account your personal club data better known as MySlope. Throw in a magnet to attach to the cart and you have the whole package.

Bluetooth Speakers – More Tips

Bigger doesn’t always mean better (or louder). Some smaller speakers outperform their large competitors and better fit in a cart’s cup holder.
Some Bluetooth speakers come with clips that attach to your golf bag. This is a great option for those golfers who like to carry.
Nearly all Bluetooth speakers are portable, meaning you can take them anywhere without needing a cord for them to play music.
Some speakers have multiple features that include magnets, bottle openers, the ability to pair multiple speakers, relay yardages and provide personalized distances on every shot.
Some Bluetooth speakers can also be used for phone calls. The added versatility can be helpful, especially if you don’t have to sacrifice sound quality to get it.
While most speakers are water-resistant, some, like the like JBL Flip 4 and UE WonderBoom 2, are waterproof. So even if you get rained on during your round or your speaker tumbles into the pool, the music will keep playing.

What I Need to Know About

Q: How do I charge my Bluetooth speaker?

A: Most up-to-date devices have USB ports that charge your speaker. Some older, less advanced speakers still require batteries to keep the music going.

Q: What is the difference between waterproof and water resistant?

A: Water-resistant speakers will survive a few drops of rain or a quick dip in the pool. Waterproof speakers can tackle the harshest of weather conditions and be submerged under water for an extended period of time without harm.

Q: Are Bluetooth speakers allowed on the golf course?

A: While we’d wager some courses have explicit rules against speakers, we hope it’s not common. Golf is a game, right? Aren’t games meant to be enjoyed? Yes, there is a rule prohibiting music during competition (something about using the rhythm of the beat in your golf swing) but, if you’re respectful of others on the course, listening to music with your buddies during a fun round shouldn’t be an issue. Keep it at a reasonable volume and it’s all good. Go ahead and post your scores. We won’t tell.

This is an amazing guide. I found it very useful.

MGS, why not do ear bud reviews?

Scott

How do I hear you yell FORE if I’m wearing earbuds?

G

There is no place for music on a golf course. Wear a pair of Ear buds. It’s disrespectful to others that want the peace of nature. Also not everyone shares the same taste in music.

Critter

Amen! Ban them all

Jeff

I’ve got the JBL Clip and generally enjoy it. As a walker, it clips onto the bag easily.

One data field I’d like to see in all of these rankings though is range from phone to speaker.

I used my phone for GPS tracking and take it on the green with me to track putts and the flag. My cart/bag is usually just off the green. However, the JBL Clip starts to fade out on the Bluetooth connection at around 75 feet from the speaker it seems.

Having range between speaker and phone would be a very useful stat to size them all up.

Joe Duffer

Music on the golf course is purely an extension of a larger issue that rears its ugly head in almost every other aspect of day to day life… an overwhelming amount of entitlement. The lack of consideration and respect for another is at an all time high with no signs of improving in the near future. When did subjecting your fellow man (or woman) to your bullshit become a great idea? Perhaps the better question is why should anyone have to be accepting of it?

Think the above logic is a little warped. The individual who just paid their hard earned money with the intention of enjoying a once peaceful hobby and perhaps taking in the natural surroundings and everything it has to offer is not the “entitled” portion of the golfing community. In summary, feel free to step on my lawn, just don’t shit on it out of a lack of respect and then try to justify it.
By all means, listen to your precious music. Listen to your music through headphones or earbuds and don’t ruin the experience for those who didn’t sign up for your super, awesome playlist of the day.

Andrew the Great!

“Music on the golf course is purely an extension of a larger issue…an overwhelming amount of entitlement. The lack of consideration and respect for another”

You’re conflating two different things, music on golf courses and disrespect for others. They are not mutually-inclusive, though you portray them as such.

Many, many people (I included, a 60-year-old) play music on golf courses without being inconsiderate or disrespectful of others who either may not like music when they golf or may not like *my* kind of music.

The same can be said of swearing on golf courses as is said of music – uttered quietly, only within earshot of yourself or within earshot of your sympathetic playing companions is fine; screaming it at the top your your lungs gets into the “inconsiderate and disrespectful” territory.

The same can be said of slow players, folks who are oblivious to the groups behind them. That’s “inconsiderate and disrespectful”, too.

The issue is NOT music on a golf course; it’s disrespectful and inconsiderate GOLFERS on a golf course, and they manifest themselves in numerous ways.

To name just two more – not fixing ball marks on greens, not replacing divots or using divot mix.

The list is long. If you want to rail against something, the proper target is golfers’ behavior, NOT their music per se.

Jimmy

It’s science that there’s a direct correlation between one’s age and how much one thinks that the kids today have no respect. I bet I can guess yours!

Seeing as the speakers aren’t going away, I can offer a few tips to help you cope.

1) next time someone’s music is ruining your day, drive over there and politely ask them to turn it down. I bet they will!
2) if they don’t, call the pro shop and politely ask them to send a ranger out. If it’s as bad as you make it sound, the other golfers on the course will appreciate it too
3) get some therapy. If you’re not just being hyperbolic and someone else’s music “ruins” your round, I think a professional could provide you with some tools to help with your lack of resilience

Try that next time and report back to let me know how it went. I think we can beat this together, Joe!

That’s funny. Yeah music is a personal thing. Just because you like Eminem it doesn’t mean everyone does. Put some Buds in if you want to listen to music. Some courses seem like pulling into a 7-11 gas station at midnight.

Mike

You think “I recommend therapy” is a punchline?

Amen! Ban them all! Every time I encounter one on the course I disloyal my displeasure! And I’ll later raise this concern in the pro shop! We should all do this now before it gets out of control!

TKinVA

Most people agree, if you are going to listen to music, use headphones or keep the sound to your cart. We all love music. We don’t all love YOUR music. If you are blasting music on a golf course everyone knows it’s one of two things: 1. You are a hipster or frat-boy and completely self absorbed. 2. You are an aging hipster or former frat-boy who is still self absorbed and thinks he is still cool but….You are that guy. The old dude who thinks he still has it, who thinks he is still cool…..no those people are not laughing with you….

Jonathan Gangano

Just curious, what is “outdoor mode”?

Trever

I’m an old fart who always thought I would hate music during my round. Now I realize … I’m just an average golfer and I need to maximize fun on the course. I bought the JBL Clip 3 a month ago and love it – and my 80s rock – on the course.

Dan Zimmerman

I’m with the 85%…
and yes, I have played behind young white hackers listening to loud, profane, sexist, violent rap… Phony “wanna-be” think-they’re-cool knuckleheads would have ruined my mood if the course had been crowded. I was thankfully able to skip holes and get out of earshot.

MikeB

WOW!! there are tons of “get off my lawn” old farts out there. Here in Florida, I play mostly public courses, and more than occasionally play the local private courses, same amount of music going at all of them. Nobody complains because we all know – 1. It isn’t going away and 2. THIS ISN’T THE MASTERS!! My speaker is going all the time, but I know it’s not a rave out there. If it bothers you, take the batteries out of you hearing aids, pick up that putt for triple, and move on! No Green Jackets handed out here.

Walter K

100%

In other words, you’re a-hole & just don’t give a crap as long as YOU can do whatever YOU want.

I played a course recently and what did I find? Bluetooth speakers IN THE CART?!? Hey Sherlock, I guess someone wants to listen to music. Don’t like it? Join a private and outlaw speakers. Can’t afford that and have to play muni tracks? Then deal with it, Karen. If you think speakers are going away, ask yourself why does every big box golf retailer merchandise them at the front of the store? Its not because they don’t sell and its a dying trend.

Phil Shockley

If you insist on playing music while on the course, have the COURTSEY to keep the volue confined to YOUR cart.

Joe

Let me find a universally loved playlist for the golf cart. I will start off with Bollywood, followed by Australian aboriginal didgeridoo, Scottish bagpipes, Swiss Alpine horns. Turned up just as the group in front is putting or at the T box. I am sure they would love the rhythm to help with their strokes..

Kyle

I absolutely love music. I listen all the time. One time when I was following a group, I heard Black Sabbath on someone’s Bluetooth speaker. It was pretty clear, good sound. He was 200+/- yds away!!!!
I still listen to music on the course, but it’s my music.
I use AFTERSHOKZ wireless bone conduction headphones.
They are great!!!! I listen to music & have conversations with my buddies. More people should try them….. PLEASE!!!!!!

One more point. – I don’t consider it a “feature” that a speaker fits in a cup holder. Those cup holders are few, two per person at best, and it seems a waste and inconvenient to use one up with a speaker that, if it were better designed, would have a strong magnet, or a loop allowing it to be hung from some part of the cart.

My cupholders hold some combination of a water bottle (coincidentally, the Hydro Flask that you top-rated last year), my phone (GolfLogix GPS app), my rangefinder, yesterday one held my turkey sub, there’s no good reason for a speaker to be designed to fit in a cupholder, IMO.

And think about this with regard to cupholders – you plunk down a bunch of cash for a speaker…and then you stick it in a cupholder. Great way to marginalize the quality of the sound you just spent hard-earned (I assume) money to buy.

FORERIGHTAGAIN

And you hit a bump and the speaker goes flying out of the cart

“More” is not always better. A 36-hour charge? Who’s not going to have access to an electric plug during a 36-hour stretch? If you sleep just 2 hours a night, these puppies can be charged. A 36-hour charge is severe overkill. So is, IMO, anything exceeding around 12 hours (and that assumes you’ll need the speaker for 2 rounds of golf then a few hours poolside with the fam, and THAT assumes you don’t have some OTHER source of music at the pool)..

I would also suggest that the longer the charge, the more likely you’re gonna think you still have sufficient charge when in fact you don’t, because you won’t remember all the times you played the speaker and consumed part of that 36-hour charge without recharging it. The longer you go without charging it (because hey!, it’s got a 36-hour battery!), the greater the chance you’ll have 2 hours left when you’re on the first tee. And if you’re diligent and avoid that by plugging it in every time you get home after a round of golf…then you don’t need the overkill 36-hour battery.

I have the Bushnell Wingman, have had it for 2 years. I don’t use the GPS feature – I consider it a gimmick (I use other, more functional devices for GPS) – I only use the speaker. And its 10-hour charge is more than sufficient for a round of golf and then lawn work in the backyard for the rest of the afternoon.

Very happy with the Wingman’s performance all around.

So many times I’ve thought the speaker still had charge left and it conked out in the middle of the round. Now I keep a charging cord in my bag and hook it up to the charger port in the cart

ChrisK

Here’s my story on the music: almost everyone i know that plays music on the course has it loud enough to easily be heard by others in other fairways. I know one guy that plays it low and it can only be heard in his cart. Perhaps there are others like that. But the few that do go loud, are just awful.

I was playing in a club tournament one day, and the course was packed. I was on the first green, attempting my first putt. The group BEHIND us had hit their tee shots, and were within 100 yards of us, and you could hear their music. The group ahead of us, on the next tee, was waiting for a group ahead of them to clear before hitting, and they had their music loud enough to hear too. And neither had tunes that were quite alike.

I’d be more than happy to let them skirt the rules and wear headphones, or earplugs, or whatever, just to eliminate the sound. For a game built around etiquette, it’s incredible what this music on the course has become today.

John F

Personally, I much prefer not to have any music playing when I am on the course.. And I do not appreciate it when others nearby have it playing.. First of all, when they do, many have it way too loud. Secondly, they may be playing some genre of music that I don’t like in the first place.

When on the course one might consider the noise from lawn mowers, leaf blowers, and weed whackers (an an epithet or two from your golfing buddies) a necessary evil.. But IMHO, playng music on the course is not only unnecessary and it is inconsiderate to others. If you really want to listen to it when you play, think of the rest of us and get yourself some bluetooth earbuds.

CK

This is the worst trend in golf.

Nick Costanzo

I agree with both sides of the pro/con speaker comments. No speaker during competition or if ANYONE in the group has a reservation about it and YES to a speaker during friendly afternoon drinking, golfing, and friendship.

Best speaker by far and not included in this article is the new BOSE SoundLink Flex for $149. Please add it to your review matrix and I’m sure you’ll be crowning a new winner.

Where is it that all of you olds are playing where you’re *gasp* FORCED to listen to someone else’s music? I play public golf in Florida every week, and this has literally never been an issue.

Next time, when this totally common and definitely not at all totally made up problem arises, try calling the pro shop instead of complaining to MGS when they review speakers.

Not like any of you can hear anymore, anyway. Grow up!

Joseph Kaiser

Listen to the pot trying to call the kettle black…. Hilarious!! Wipe your nose child.

Maybe someday you’ll be doing a test of the best proximity Bluetooth signal jammers to use on the golf course.

Where do I get one?

chrisk

Now that’s a review i’d like to see!

This post makes me laugh every year. My buddy’s CC just got new carts with speakers in them, Played Bayonne Golf Club a few weeks back and the group behind us, which were all members, had a speaker going from their caddies bib.. The muny I play has speakers built in, and another course we play does not, so we use a Beats Pill. The only problem I have is that my regular group DJ plays some truly awful songs.

Micah

No matter what you listen to, someone within earshot thinks your taste in music sucks, period. Wear a single earbud if you must, that way you can hear someone yell “fore” or idk, have a conversation about golf that doesn’t include you shouting over your loud music that no one else wants to hear.

Great points!

If the group (twosome to foursome) agrees on the genre, then no, someone within earshot doesn’t think anyone’s taste in music sucks. Whether someone is within earshot OTHER than the people in your group, that’s an issue of volume.

I play either alone or with 1-3 particular other people. We are fully capable of conversing – without needing to shout – while the music is playing. I’m 60, and they’re roughly my age.

The absolutist comments on this issue are hilarious.

Love music on the course. Just keep the volume down. If you can hear the tunes on the tee box from your cart it’s too loud. As much as we all want correct behavior on the course, I’d rather deal with music than some jackass that thinks he’s a pro cursing and killing the mood for everyone.

Barclay M

Earbuds ???????? – Speakers ????????
Not on the course please

Herb

Smoking indoors is banned as non-smokers are exposed to second hand smoke. Bluetooth speakers on the golf course is to golfers is what second hand smoke is to non-smokers indoors.

Not a valid analogy. Smoking indoors is banned regardless of whether anyone inside is smoking. It’s also banned in an entire building even if people in just one room want to smoke. So people nowhere near where the secondhand smoke would be keep smokers from smoking.

If bluetooth speakers on a golf course are used properly and considerately, no one else is bothered, just as people in a different room completely divorced from the smoking room are not bothered by the smokers.

Your analogy is inapt also because secondhand smoke is hazardous while music on a golf course, wafting over from someone else’s group, is not.

joselo

Love music on the golf course, never had a problem hearing music from 3,4 fairways away, guess I’m lucky, or deaf

Friend of mine has the Bushnell wingman and rarely use it for yardage, solid speaker

Manotee

My understanding it is against USGA/RGA rules to listen to music as you hit a golf shot. Playing music aloud is not only against the rules, but discourteous.,

If I were playing with someone playing music, I would ask for them to turn it off, or play with someone else.

Mark R

Notice it’s only high-handicappers and boozers that have music on the course.

There are plenty of places to enjoy music…the course isn’t one of them.

If I see you playing music, I know you’re a terrible golfer.

Garrett

I would like this a thousand times if I could.

I’m a Tour Tempo person. I have to concentrate so hard when there’s some knucklehead listening to Yacht rock in my group. Guess I just have to outdrive past them out of sound range!

Dr Tee

not universally true, but pretty much on target.
hate music on the course
won a Wingman in a contest on my course–trying desperately to sell it

How much are you asking for it? I have one, and I’d like another.

Gary

So funny and so not true. I play in the Gross group at my son’s club and they have music all the time. Just cause you think it’s true, doesn’t mean it is!

My index is 7.4. I’m 60 years old. I don’t drink. I listen to music on the golf course (Bushnell Wingman).

My son is 30. He’s about a 9. Hits his 5-iron 220, for example. Doesn’t drink. He listens to music on the golf course (in fact, I had never before listened to music until I played with him a bunch of years ago, and he had music going. Didn’t think I’d like it, but I did, and adopted the practice).

Absolute statements are always ill-advised… When I see one, I know that person’s critical thinking skills are not well-developed.

Wear headphones? Then you can’t hear someone yelling FORE, which to me is more important than hearing music.

Outside of holes where greens and tee boxes are next to each other, I’ve never experienced another group’s music getting in the way. I also didn’t realize Judge Smails was commenting on MGS.

Just as easy to play a course surrounded by housing where people are having a party and bumping music in the yard.

Headphones/earbuds now have hear-through technology now. I can play music and hear sirens, traffic, my dog barking, and somebody yelling “fore” in my direction. It’s not a problem at all.

John Courtney

No. If you’re caught using speakers to play music on the golf course in the UK, you will be covered in bbq sauce and fed to lions.

Geno

If people want to listen to music using bluetooth while they’re golfing, I suggest they DON’T, BUT if they must ~~ HEADSETS. Not everyone likes other people’s music in the first place and a Golf Course isn’t their private listening room.

Willie Jones

We get enough of tech in everyday life I go to play golf to relax and enjoy the peace and quiet , if you start to allow any sort of music on the course that is the end of golf as we know it , nip it in the bud now and ban them all .
Willie

More melodramatic gatekeeping from the olds. Here’s an idea: if you don’t like it, don’t listen to music when you play!

Before you go complaining about other groups, I’ll point out that I play golf too, often at crowded public tracks. This isn’t a problem now, and there’s no reason to think that will change going forward.

Sean

My company recently installed some speaker all the way around a massive putting green at a local country club. I remember when we were doing the quote thinking man I’m surprised they’re even thinking about doing this, mygolfspy comments are always so negative about music on the golf course. Our bid ended up getting accepted. On the day of the install, One of the members walked up all happy, and curious, and asked, “What are you guys up to?”I thought damn, this guy is sure happy about this project. I said, “we’re installing some speakers”. He instantly got an angry look on his face and stormed off and said, “no comment!” LOL Ive never seen a 180 in someones demeanor like that day! I personally love having music on the course. I have the Marshall Kilburn II and it is great.

Josh Duane

I have been using the ROKFORM G-ROK for ~6 months and love it. The magnet is very strong and the battery life is great.

MarkM

“85% of you didn’t want me to hit publish this morning on this test.” Absolutely correct

Mike D

Heck yea, UE getting some due appreciation! Been using the Wonderboom 2 for a year or two, and love it for the course. For walking, carabiner hooked onto the bag works great. Only barrier is carts – some carts (older/cheaper) don’t have a good spot to hook it, so I leave it on the bag or hook it onto the basket (actually prefer the UE Boom line for cart versatility).

Added bonus: you can get multiple Wonderbooms and connect them for bigger/better sound.

albatrossx3

I dont care if you play your tunes, but keep it to YOUR hole, it is ridiculous when I can hear your crap 3 fairways over.

Yours is the most succinct, correct observation of the issue, IMO.

Most of us have heard the saying, “Everything in moderation.” That applies to music on golf courses. I listen, I have the Wingman, but no one other than those in my group (who I consult when we choose the genre) can hear it.

Brian Liming

Please, let’s not play music on a golf course via a speaker. Earbuds are fine if you’re playing solo.

marco

You are right !!! Music and speakers should be banned from golf courses….
Respect for golfers !! Metallic or heavy rock not a great choice on the course !
I love music that I listen in my house and car !!
