To play golf successfully in winter, the right gear is key. Here’s what belongs in your winter golf bag—and what doesn’t.
During the colder months, trolleys and golf carts are often unavailable, meaning you’ll likely carry your bag. That makes choosing a lightweight and waterproof golf bag essential. Brands like Big Max and OGIO offer models weighing around two kilos, available in various colors and fully waterproof.

Since winter bags are smaller, only the essentials should be packed. Consider reducing the number of clubs to just your most-used ones. Here’s what else you should include for a well-equipped winter round.
Winter Golf Bag Must-Haves
Start with the right towel. Wet and muddy conditions call for more than one. Large microfiber cart or tour towels help keep your hands and clubs clean and dry.

Next, upgrade your gloves. Winter gloves like those from FootJoy feature leather palms for grip and insulation. Rain gloves are also useful for wet grips. Always carry spares so you can swap out wet or cold ones.

Still cold? Oversized mitts that attach to your bag or cart offer extra warmth between shots. Options range from basic fleece to heated luxury models.

Layering and Weather Protection
In addition to your winter outfit, pack a set of rain gear. Waterproof jackets and pants help retain body heat and shield against wind and rain. Look for easy-on designs like side-zip pants for mid-round changes.

A neck warmer is another smart addition. It keeps your neck warm without restricting your swing or vision. Adidas offers a stylish, insulated version that fits easily in your bag.
