7 Best Cheap Golf Bags for Any Player

Tangkula Golf might not be a household name, but their stand bag offers great value for a quality and functional model. Ranging from just $52.99 to $55.99 the bags are obviously very affordable, but have features you’d find in more expensive models. The bag is durable, yet lightweight (6 pounds), and is constructed of water-resistant materials. And with 7 pockets for gear, equipment, and accessories, there shouldn’t be a storage problem.

Other highlights include a padded dual-strap system, sturdy aluminum legs, a velcro glove holder, a molded handle at the top for easy pick up, and an umbrella holder. The bag is available in 4 colors — Black, Blue, Green (pictured above), and Red. The Tangkula Golf Stand Bag measures 32 1/2 inches long and the 6-way divider top is 11 inches by 8 inches.

Callaway is a titan in the golf equipment industry, so one of their products seems like a good place to start. At just 5 pounds, the Capital Golf Stand Bag is course-walker’s dream. But it offers much more than its lightweight feature. The Capital has five pockets, including ones for valuables, apparel, water bottle, your golf glove, and a full size golf ball pocket.

With a 5-way top club divider, it also comes with a padded dual shoulder strap, a towel loop, a mesh hip pad for comfort, and a rain hood to keep your clubs dry.

Also a bonus; the Capital Stand Bag is available in 5 colors — Black/Blue/White (pictured above), Black/Charcoal/Orange, Black/Red/White, Black/White, and White/Black/Pink. This one goes for $129.99. While inexpensive for Callaway standards, it’s the priciest one on this list.

Another bag just under the $100 threshold (this costs $99.99, too) from another leader in the golf business is the TaylorMade Golf 2017 TM Stand Golf Bag 5.0. A lightweight bag, it boasts an anti-slit stand system with non-slip foot pads, a dual mesh shoulder strap system, and an EVA molded hip pad on the side for extra comfort as its top features.

Other highlights include a 5-way divider top, a rain hood, an umbrella sleeve, and 6 pockets, including apparel, golf balls, tees, valuables, and other equipment and accessories. The TM Stand Bag 5.0 is also available in 6 colors — Black/White (pictured above), Black/White/Red, Blue/Black/White, Grey/White, White/Black, and White/Orange.

The 14 Way Tour Cart Bag from Prosimmon brings us to our first non-stand bag. This bag is designed to provide maximum storage and a sleek look at a good price (roughly $85). As mentioned, the bag has plenty of storage with 6 pockets. There are 2 full-length pockets for storing clothing and shoes, and 1 each for golf balls, tees and accessories, valuables, and an insulated pocket for drinks. 

There is a 14-way top, which has slots for all clubs, including drivers and over-sizes putters. It’s worth noting, though, the dividers aren’t full length.

Also, the bag is best suited for cart users as it doesn’t have a double-strap carrying system or leg stands. Available in 4 different color schemes — Black/Blue, Black/Green, Black/Red (pictured above), and Black/Grey — the Prosimmon Tour Cart Bag weighs just 5.3 pounds and also includes practical features such as a velcro glove holder, rain hood, umbrella strap, and a convenient towel ring. Underrated, Prosimmon makes some of best cheap golf bags.

This particular model from TourEdge — the Exotics Extreme 3 Stand Bag — is actually a closeout item on Amazon. It combines style, functionality, and durability at a very reasonable price ($88.00).

There are plenty of storage pockets, including 2 for garments, a waterproof velour-line valuables pouch, and an insulated one for drinks. You’ll also have room for golf balls, tees, and other accessories. It has a 7-way top which is highlighted by a molded handle for easy pick-up and carrying.

Other convenient features include a scorecard and pen holder, padded double-strap system, a quick-release stand system with non-slip feet. There is also a wide assortment of stylish color schemes to choose from, including Black, Black/Charcoal/Blue, Black/Charcoal/Red, Black/White, Navy, Red/White, Royal/White, and Black/Charcoal/Lime. Remember this is a closeout item, so if you’re interested in it, you might want to order quickly.

Another affordable (about $70) stand bag from a lesser-known company, the 2.0 Stand Bag from Hot-Z Golf Bags combines style and performance.

Featuring an 8-inch, 6-way top with full-length dividers, some practical highlights are a scorecard and pen holder, a rain hood, a double-strap carrying system, 2 lift handles, and 5 zippered pockets, including 1 for valuables, as well as others for gear, golf balls, and other accessories.

The bag is also very lightweight, coming in at about 4.5 pounds (without clubs) and is constructed of nylon. The Hot-Z 2.0 is available in 7 colors — Black/White, Caribbean Blue (pictured above), Forest Green, Deep Sea Blue, Red Black, Ladies Lace, and Orange/Black/Grey. Despite the unfamiliar name, Hot-Z makes some of the best cheap golf bags for the value.

If you thought the Palm Springs Sunday Bag we talked about above was small, then feast your eyes on this little guy. The Pitch and Putt Golf Lightweight Stand Carry Bag from Orlimar isn’t designed to be brought out onto an 18-hole, full-length course as it only holds about 6 or 7 clubs and has minimal storage. It is, however, ideal for Par-3 and Executive courses as well as the driving range.

Weighing just 1.95 pounds, the bag measures 31 1/2 inches long and the two-compartment top diameter is only 3 1/4 inches by 4 1/4 inches. It has 1 storage compartment best suited for golf balls and tees and a handle for easy carrying. It’s available in 4 colors — Black (pictured), Blue, Brick Red, and Orange. If you’re an avid golfer, it’s always a good idea to have a “pitch and putt” bag so you don’t have to lug around your regular-sized one when going to the range. And priced at under $35, it’s quite the bargain.
