Considerations
As your golf vacation approaches, it's time to
figure out what to pack. What youll want to
bring depends on your travel plans. When
traveling by car, youll have more room for
clothes and gear. When traveling by plane, youll
have to be more mindful about what gets packed
due to space limitations. Youll also need to
consider whether your hotel has laundry services
and what the weather conditions will be like.
With a little planning, you'll be ready for
anything.

Golf Travel Case
The primary piece of gear needed is your travel
bag for your clubs. Hard cases provide the most
protection on an airplane. Soft and padded cases
are more suitable for car travel. A hybrid
between the two is also an option, and because
theyre partially soft, they take up less space
than a hard case.

Carry Case
For your time on the course, youll want a
lightweight carry bag. The word lightweight is
the key because caddies gravitate to the lightest
bag in the group. If your carry bag looks like a
heavy burden, it could make for a very long day
on the course for you and your caddie.

Clothing for Golf
and Other Activities
The clothes you pack should prepare you for the
types of activities and weather you will be
experiencing. Microfiber fabrics are lightweight,
wrinkle resistant, and dry quickly. Purchase
quality golf outerwear that protects you from the
sun, wind, rain, and other natural elements. When
youre away from the golf course, be prepared
with clothes and shoes for potential activities
such as swimming, sightseeing, and going out to
both casual and formal meals.

Golf Shoes
Bring two pairs of waterproof golf shoes in
case it rains, you will have a back-up dry pair
available. Having two pairs of shoes is also
ideal on longer trips this is great when one
pair isnt fully broken in or grows painful.
Dont forget shoe trees to maintain the shape of
the shoes during travel.

Stain Remover
It seems like a minor thing to remember, but if
you get a stain from a meal or the mud, youll be
glad you thought of this. Treating the stain
immediately will improve the chance you can wear
what you intended to wear more than once.
8
Golf Balls and Extras
Spare yourself from having to overpay on golf
balls by bringing back-ups. If youre a high
handicapper, youll need them. Calculation based
on your history should give you a sense of how
many to pack. Youll also want extra tees,
pencils, and divot repair tools, which arent
always readily available at certain golf courses.

Technology
A golf GPS system can help you track distances. A
camera will capture all of the moments of your
trip on and off the course. You should also pack
your cell phone, music player, and any
accompanying chargers.

Summary
Planning ahead when packing for a golf trip will
ensure that youre prepared for any situation.
You want to consider needs for both on and off
the course, as you never know what opportunities
will present themselves. Your mental energy
should be focused on your performance rather than
what you might have forgotten to pack.
