We get it, finding the best golf gifts can be a real challenge. Unless the golfer in your life just getting started, they probably already have their set of clubs, favorite balls and lucky golf shoes. But fear not, the world of golf is vast, and we've traveled it to help you shop for golf gifts for Father's Days (or Mother's Days), birthdays, Christmases or any other special occasion. Even if you don't know the difference between a birdie and a bogey, we've got you covered!

Our top picks:

This list of the best golf gifts for 2024 includes luxury golfing items they'll never buy for themselves, personalized gifts they will cherish, practical picks, as well as funny ideas, like the potty putter you all will never stop laughing about. Even if the golfer in your life says they have everything they need to play a round, they'll appreciate any of these unique choices. There's a drinking game they can play while on the course with friends, a golf ball retriever that will eliminate one of the sport's biggest hassles and a cornhole golf game for the backyard. We found top-rated, moisture-wicking quick-dry shirts, hard shell luggage letting them safely travel with their clubs, a smart organizer for all their golf essentials and so much more.

And if you're on a shoestring budget, don't fret because most of these clever golf gifts are under $50 and will ship fast with Amazon Prime. Looking to go even cheaper? We have plenty of gifts that are less than $20, too. Even if you normally steer clear of this hobby because you think you're out of your depth, your favorite golfer will love getting any of these gifts and knowing you see them and care about their passion for golf.
