Golf Travel Bags

Travel bags are essential for protecting clubs during transport. Hard cases offer maximum protection but are pricier and bulkier. Soft cases balance protection with portability. Much safer than using your regular golf bag for travel.

Remove club heads where possible, use club head covers, pack towels around clubs for cushioning. Wrap clothes around clubs for extra protection. Use a stiff arm extender to protect club shafts. Remove valuables from golf bag pockets.

Hard cases offer better protection but are heavier and more expensive. Soft cases are lighter, easier to store, and usually cheaper. Consider airline baggage restrictions and how frequently you'll travel with clubs.

Choose a travel bag at least 50 inches long to accommodate drivers. Allow extra space for golf shoes and clothing. Standard sizes range from 50-54 inches. Check airline size restrictions before purchasing.

Most travel bags have space for golf shoes, rain gear, and additional clothing around the clubs. Don't overpack as it reduces protection. Use dedicated shoe bags and clothing compartments where available.
