Items Under $100

Club Brushes – We love club brushes as a gift here at F1C, because they are small and relatively inexpensive. Club cleaning is a chore that most golfers neglect because they don’t have the right tool for the job. The days of the old wire club brush are out, and new wet-club brushes contain water to make cleaning clubs easy after every shot. This is the perfect gift under $25 for a golfer you know!

• Caddy Splash Original Club Brush – $19 – See our full review HERE – A great tool that was well reviewed at its previous price point, only made better by the new $19 price.
• Grooveit Club Brush – $25 – See our full review HERE – Last year, we declared this product to be the best club brush on the market, and still, the Grooveit is a great value and well built product.
• *NEW* Caddy Splash Pro Club Brush – $25 – The new kid on the block for club brushes features a new, more ergonomic design. This is also sold in a package with other items on this list, like a magnetic towel and golf shoe cleaning kit, if you are looking to spend a bit more on your golfer this holiday.

Golf Trunk Organizer – Admittedly, we didn’t think we would like the golf trunk organizer when we reviewed one for the website, but we were wrong. It has become a staple in the vehicle, and it is a great place to store all the random golf items like shoes, golf balls, tees, scorecards, and even an emergency change of clothes. We reviewed a pricier model, but other models exist on Amazon that can get the job done if your golfer likes to stay organized.

• MXWL Golf Trunk Organizer – $60 – See our full review HERE – We found that the MXWL golf bag was well made, strong, and made a very convenient, customizable organizer for a good price.

• Golf Trunk Organizer from Amazon – $30 – $50 – There are literally TONS of similar products on Amazon for a cheaper price than the MXWL, but probably less well made as well. However, it may be worth the price difference, depending on your golfer’s needs.

Golf Balls – If you are going to buy golf balls for your golfer, it is important to note that there are many, many different brands and types of golf balls, and golfers are normally specific to one specific brand and type of golf ball. However, there’s only one golf ball that is a little more universally used. I’ve been disappointed in receiving golf balls as a gift if they are not my preferred golf ball, but nobody in the history of golf has ever been disappointed in receiving a box of Titleist Pro V1 balls. A dozen Pro V1s is sure to be a hit, because all golfers, regardless of skill level or preference, will use Pro V1s without a second thought. It may be the only thing we golfers all agree on. Additionally, for the holidays, Titleist appears to be running a two-dozen gift set for 10% off on Amazon that looks very nice.

Magnetic Towels – Magnetic Towels are gaining in popularity as many golfers use a towel on the green to clean their golf balls before putting, and the magnetic features of the towel make it easy to pick up with a golf club or store on the golf cart. Here are some good, inexpensive picks as a stocking stuffer or small gift for your golfer.

• *NEW* Caddy Splash Pocket Mag Towel – $30 – The Caddy Splash towel is a great magnetic towel that also comes with a small pocket in the corner of the towel for convenience.
• Ghost Golf Magnetic Towel – $30 – Ghost offers a similar product at a similar price with many more color options, but it does not have the cool pocket on the towel like the Caddy Splash product.
• Stickit Magnetic Golf Towel – $30 – Another similar product, the Stickit may be the inventor of this product category. However, its design is beginning to look dated, but is still very highly rated on Amazon.

Golf Shoe Cleaning Kits – Every golfer I know struggles to keep their shoes clean. We often wade through the mud in our expensive leather golf shoes, but change out of them long before they make it back into the house to be cleaned. A mobile cleaning kit makes for a convenient way to freshen up the kicks before heading out on the course.

• Caddy Splash Golf Shoe Cleaning Kit – $34 – Highly rated and easily packaged with the other Caddy Splash items on this list to create a bigger gift.
• Shank Juice – $20 – A reliable an inexpensive Amazon find to get the job done.

Items Over $100

As we transition to some more expensive items, keep in mind that these are all ideas for very avid golfers in which you are a bit more familiar with their equipment and level of interest and represent a serious wish for many avid golfers. These gifts may be best suited for a spouse, child, or immediate family member.

Arccos Sensors – $150 – For data driven individuals, Arccos Sensors may be the perfect gift. These sensors easily attach to the end of any club and allow your golfer to automatically track all of his or her stats during a golf round (and golf season) with little work. The sensor is able to track which clubs are used, and in doing so, keep stats for each golf shot. This results in measurable data that your golfer can use to improve at the game.

Outdoor Launch Monitor – $600 – A launch monitor provides instant data to the golfer about the shot just hit and is a great practice tool for your golfer if they like to go to the driving range and practice. The Rapsodo MLM2PRO is a launch monitor designed to set up quickly and be used outside where it can give your golfer feedback on how far their ball just went, as well as other critical stats like launch angle and spin rates. This is a pricey option, but is the least expensive launch monitor designed for outdoor use. Top of the line systems can go for more than $20,000 in this space, so $600 represents an incredible value.

Swing Training and Aids – There are a few speed and swing training aids I would recommend for all golfers, regardless of skill level or ability. These products, if used properly, will increase any golfer’s ability.

• The Stack System – $540 – The Stack is the premium speed training device on the market and offers the “club,” and programs on its app, to help your golfer swing faster and hit the ball further.
• Rypstick – $340 – The Stack’s best competitor is Rypstick, a similar product with an improving app, is another speed trainer. I have linked the indoor version. Both this and the Stack can be swung inside to increase your golfer’s swing speed indoors during the off-season, and represents a great holiday golf gift that can be used right away!

• WhyGolf Alignment Disk and Rod Bundle – $119 – These alignment rods and disks can help any golfer drill their favorite practice drill and represent a versatile, useful addition to any golfer’s lineup of training aids.
• WhyGolf Putting Thing – $99 – A great tool for use on the putting greens for any golfer that helps drill starting putts on the intended line. It also doubles as a tool to gauge the speed of any green surface. Fun to use on the putting green or at home on the carpet in the winter for practice!

An Expensive Golf Round – Here is an out of the box idea: there are charity auctions at bucket list golf courses that run weekly at Member for a Day. If you have some disposable money to give to charity, and want to secure a bucket list golf round for your golfer (and a few friends), consider trying to bid in Member for a Day’s weekly charity auctions.

Conclusion

These are our best picks this holiday season – items that will work for almost any golfer at any skill level that they probably don’t already have! Think of any others? Feel free to leave a comment and tell us if you’ve found the perfect gift!
