- 12 total pockets, including 2 large accessory pockets and one for valuables
Cons:- Some users had issues with the bag’s zippers

If you’re looking to carry a few extra beverages on the course, then Bag Boy Golf Chiller Cart Bag is probably the bag for you.

The Chiller Cart Bag certainly has enough storage for full day on the course. It also has a 15-way top with full-length individual dividers, so your clubs won’t jumble together at the bottom of the bag.

Pros:- Keeps contents cold for 8-10 hours (4 12-ounce can capacity)
- Straps securely to your golf bag
- Easy to carry for walking the course
Cons:- Takes up a decent amount of space in the freezer
- Only holds 4 12-ounce cans
- Some users thought it was a bit heavy
Just like the PrideSports Cooler Bag listed above, the FlexiFreeze Freezable Golf Bag Cooler won’t hold your clubs, but rather the drinks you bring on it.
How the bag works is it has 60 FlexiFreeze ice cubes built-in to the sides of the cooler. These ice cubes are made of purified, filtered water with no chemicals. Then you put the bag in your freezer to chill the ice cubes. And when you’re ready to head to the course, add your beverages (it holds four 12-ounce cans) and you’re set.
The bag, which straps easily and conveniently to your golf bag, will keep them cold for 8 to 10 hours; plenty of time to get your 18 holes in. The FlexiFreeze Cooler is easy to clean and is reusable.
