5 great golf bags we’d buy right now

A new golf bag can be especially appealing at the end of the season, when summer heat, sun, sweat and rain have taken a toll on fabric, zippers and stitching. GOLF.com’s Ryan Noll highlights five models currently worth considering at PGA TOUR Superstore.

Titleist LINKSLEGEND Classic Members Stand Bag

A classic look meets practical organization with a full-length apparel pocket, a velour-lined tee pocket and a hidden drink pocket with magnetic closures. The three-way top with full-length dividers helps prevent clubs from clanking together, while the premium double strap makes walking more comfortable. It is currently 20 percent off, and a personalized plate with up to three characters is available at no extra cost.

Get this bag if: You want a classic look, plenty of pocket space and 20 percent off.

Price: $410 from PGA TOUR Superstore.

Ghost Golf Anyday 14-Way Stand Bag

At just 6.5 pounds, this model is aimed at golfers who walk often. Fourteen full-length dividers with velvet-wrapped tops help protect shafts from scuffs. It also has a magnetic, velvet-lined rangefinder pocket, two waterproof personal pockets, cooler-lined bottle sleeves on both sides and a separate putter well. A rain hood is included.

Get this bag if: You walk your rounds and want a lightweight, highly organized bag with a separate putter well and rain protection.

Price: $415 from PGA TOUR Superstore.

Sun Mountain Eclipse 3.5 Stand Bag

The best value in the group: for under $250, you get an 8.5-inch top with four-way dividers, 11 pockets—including an insulated bottle pouch and two velour-lined valuables pockets—and a magnetic-closure rangefinder pocket. The bag is designed to sit securely on a push cart or riding cart. The X-FIT dual strap carries comfortably, and it can be used as a single strap for a short walk.

Get this bag if: You want the most pockets and features for the least money, plus compatibility with a cart.

Price: $290 from PGA TOUR Superstore.

Ping Pioneer Cart Bag

If you want a dedicated place for everything, the Pioneer is worth a look. It has 16 pockets and 35 liters of total pocket volume, including a removable valuables pouch. The redesigned 15-way top has larger padded compartments to protect each club individually, and the putter well is larger. Other features include alignment-stick sleeves, rain-hood storage, a cart-strap channel, a Velcro glove patch, a towel loop and a key clip.

At 8 pounds, it is heavier than the lightest bags, but it provides substantial capacity and organization.

Get this bag if: You ride or push a cart, want maximum storage and organization, and would rather not wait for a sale.

Price: $330 from PGA TOUR Superstore.

Sun Mountain Leather Legacy Stand Bag

Sun Mountain offers both the best value and the most premium option on this list. The full-leather bag is designed to look better with age. Despite its heritage styling, it is a modern working stand bag: it weighs 6.6 pounds, has a 7.5-inch four-way top and eight pockets, including a velour-lined valuables pocket, a rangefinder pocket and dual hydration pouches.

The legs are made from high-tensile aluminum and have non-slip foot pads. A leg-lock system, lift-assist handle and matching rain hood are included. The 17 percent discount reduces the price by about $200.

Get this bag if: You want a leather bag with keepsake appeal and modern stand-bag performance, and you are ready to spend about $1,000.

Price: $999.97 from PGA TOUR Superstore.
