Choosing the perfect golf gift for Dad can be tough, especially if he’s been playing for years and already has everything — clubs, balls, you name it. A golf T-shirt, shoes or a mug might seem like a safe option, but trust me, you can do better! 

Don’t worry; even if you’re not a golf pro yourself, we’ve got some great ideas for you. In this list, we’ll dive into the best golf gifts for Dad—from handy gadgets to cool accessories. You’ll find something that’ll make him smile and show him how much you care, no matter his skill level!

Why Golf Gifts Are the Perfect Choice for Dad

Getting a golf gift is more than just a nod to your dad’s favorite game- it’s a thoughtful way to show appreciation while giving him something he’ll truly enjoy. Unlike generic presents, a golf-related gift shows that you know his passion and want to improve his experience on the course.

Beyond golf itself, these gifts encourage relaxation, social connection, and even physical activity. Whether he’s playing solo, with friends, or competing in a friendly match, your gift helps him stay engaged with the sport he loves. Plus, every time he uses it, he’ll think of you! Also, you don’t have to spend a fortune either. Check prices for golf gifts under $300.

Top 12 Best Golf Gifts for Dad

Here are our top twelve (12) golf gift recommendations for dad: 

1. Golf Balls (Because He’ll Always Need More)

Your dad is bound to lose golf balls—it’s just part of the game. That’s why a fresh box of high-quality golf balls always makes a great gift. Top brands like Swinglogic, Callaway, and TaylorMade are excellent choices. For a personal touch, you can customize the golf balls with his name, initials, or a funny message.

Foam PU Golf Balls (Pack of 21)

To go a step further, consider pairing them with a custom magnetic ball marker. These markers can feature his favorite golfer, a meaningful image, or a logo he loves. They come with a magnetic hat clip or a divot repair tool (and in various colors, too). This adds a unique and personalized touch to his golfing experience.

2. Golf Gloves

A well-fitted golf glove is more than just an accessory—it’s an essential part of every golfer’s game. It provides better grip, control, and comfort, helping your dad swing with confidence. 

Leadbetter Glove

The Leadbetter Glove is the perfect gift to help him improve his game. Made from 100% genuine cabretta leather, it’s soft, durable, and fits like a second skin. But what really makes this glove special is its built-in training features – palm alignment guides, lifeline indicators, and knuckle visibility cues, to help your dad perfect his grip. With this glove, he’ll know exactly how to position his hands for a more powerful and consistent swing.

3. A Golf Club Holder 

A golf club holder is a practical and thoughtful gift that helps keep clubs organized, protected, and easily accessible. Instead of having clubs scattered around or leaning against walls, a dedicated holder keeps everything in place for a less cluttered setup. See it in action: 

Carl’s Golf Club Holder 

For top-tier equipment organization, Carl’s Golf Club Holder is an excellent choice. It comes in two styles—Clubhouse Classic and Clubhouse Compact—both featuring 13 club slots and extra storage for balls and tees. Durable, sleek, and practical, he’ll definitely love it! We also sell electric golf push carts which come with these holders.

4. Golf Cart Bag (or Organizer):

A great golf cart bag makes every round easier by keeping clubs and other valuables protected, organized, and ready to go. If your dad loves riding the course in a golf cart, a high-quality cart bag is a gift he’ll use every time he plays.

Founders Club Premium Cart Bag

The Founders Club Premium Cart Bag is a top choice. Its 14-way divider system ensures that each club has its rubberized slot, preventing it from rattling or getting damaged. This bag also comes packed with handy features, like a fur-lined valuables pocket for his phone and watch and an ice pocket for his drinks. 

Another great option is the Bat-Caddy Quiet-Top Waterproof Golf Bag. Lightweight yet durable, this bag keeps his gear dry so he can focus on his game, even if there are light rain showers. 

5. A High-Tech Golf Rangefinder

If you want to give your dad an edge on the course, a high-tech golf rangefinder is the way to go. Instead of guessing how far the hole is, he can get an exact distance reading without leaving his spot: 

Crimson Trace HorizonLine Pro Laser Rangefinding Binoculars

One of our most impressive options is the Crimson Trace HorizonLine Pro Laser Rangefinding Binoculars (CT01-3002001).  If your dad loves cool gadgets, a rangefinder is a gift he’ll use every time he plays. 

These binoculars do more than just zoom in—they also measure distances with high accuracy. The CT T-OLED display provides a clear view, and the high-quality design makes them a top choice for golfers and outdoor enthusiasts. 

6. A Golf Simulator for Indoor Practice: 

If your dad loves golf but doesn’t always have time to hit the course, a golf simulator could be the best gift for him. With one of these setups, he can practice his swing, play virtual rounds, and improve his skills—all from home.

SIG12 Golf Simulator Studio

One of the best options we have is the SIG12 Golf Simulator Studio. This 12-foot-wide setup delivers an incredibly realistic golfing experience, with a large screen, high-quality projector, and a hitting mat—just as if he were on the golf field! The package includes everything he needs – a ceiling mount, landing pad turf, and more! 

7. Golf Simulator Software: 

For a more enjoyable indoor golf experience, golf simulator software is the ultimate gift. He can play all year round, improve his swing, or compete with friends online right from his home.

ProTee United TGC 2019 Simulator Software

One of the best options is ProTee United TGC 2019 Simulator Software, a top-tier program packed with realistic 3D courses, online multiplayer play, and a built-in course designer. With this, he can use his clubs to take full shots, drives, fairway approaches, chips, and putts — just like on an actual course. The detailed swing analysis will also help him get real-time feedback and refine his game.  

8. Electric Remote Control Push Cart: 

Let’s be honest, lugging a heavy golf bag around the course isn’t exactly the most enjoyable part of the game. A remote-controlled electric push cart takes that stress away, especially if he’s on the older side. This is the perfect gift to make his game more relaxing.

M7 REMOTE Electric Caddy

The M7 REMOTE Electric Caddy is one of the best options in the market. With a rechargeable remote, he can control it from over 100 yards away – forward, backward, left, and right. This cart comes with DHC technology and a removable anti-tip rear wheel, which keeps everything stable. Plus, with dual control mode, he can easily switch to handle control whenever he wants. 

9. A Personalized Golf Towel: 

A golf towel is a simple yet thoughtful gift that every golfer needs. It keeps clubs clean, hands dry, and grips in top condition. When picking one for your dad, look for durability, absorbency, and a design that matches his style.

 Hometown Golf Towel Mile High

The Hometown Golf Towel Mile High, with its Rocky Mountain state flag design, adds a personal touch. It's perfect for a dad who loves Colorado. The Classic Sunday Golf Towel, with its waffle-textured microfiber fabric, offers superior cleaning power. If he prefers a classic look, get him the El Classico Microfiber Golf Towel, which has a sleek design and absorbs moisture rapidly.

10. Golf Swing Trainer: 

A golf swing trainer is a great way to help your dad improve his swing without needing to hit the course every time he wants to practice. Whether he’s working on his tempo, timing, or consistency, a good swing trainer will make a big difference in his game.

Lag Shot 7 Iron Golf Swing Trainer

The Lag Shot 7 Iron Golf Swing Trainer is one of the best options in the market – named the #1 Golf Training Aid in 2021! It features a weighted clubhead and a super-flexible shaft that naturally improves lag, rhythm, and accuracy. It’s perfect for a dad who wants to add distance to his shots and hit irons more consistently.

11. A Day at a Golf Course

Sometimes, the best gift isn’t just something you buy—it’s an experience. Treat your dad to a round of golf at his favorite course, or take him to a famous golf destination for a day. Spending time together on the course can be the best gift of all. Also, while you are at it, check out our guide on finding the perfect golf gift for your son if he is into it alongside grandpa.

12. Golf Sim Package

Like they say, it’s good to save the best for the last. A Golf Sim Package is the ultimate gift for a golf-loving dad, as it brings the full experience of the course right into his home. If he doesn’t have a golf setup at home, you should consider this all-in-one setup lets him practice, compete, and improve his game anytime, no matter the weather.

A high-quality golf simulator package usually contains a launch monitor for accurate shot tracking, a hitting mat for a real-course feel, an impact screen for crisp visuals, a projector, and various software options with hundreds of virtual courses. Some packages, like the TruGolf APOGEE Launch Monitor Golf Sim Package, even come with an enclosure to create a fully immersive experience. It’s the best way to give your dad year-round golf at his fingertips!

At its core, the TruGolf APOGEE Launch Monitor delivers unmatched accuracy, using high-speed cameras to track every swing with real, measured data—no special balls or clubs needed.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Golf Gift for Dad

Picking the right golf gift for your dad isn’t just about grabbing the first thing you see—it’s about finding something he’ll truly use and enjoy. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

1. His Playing Style and Needs

Think about how often your dad plays and what he might need. If he’s always on the course, something like high-quality golf balls or a golf glove would be useful. If he loves improving his game, a golf swing trainer or a high-tech rangefinder can help him play better.

2. Convenience and Comfort

Your gift should make golf easier and more enjoyable for him. If he struggles with carrying his clubs, an electric remote control push cart can take the load off. Or, go for a golf cart bag to keep everything organized.

3. Space and Setup

If your dad loves golf but doesn’t always have time to go to the course, a golf simulator or sim package lets him practice at home. Just make sure he has enough space for it!

4. Personal Touch

A thoughtful, customized gift can make a big difference. A personalized golf towel adds a unique touch and shows you put extra thought into it.

5. Experience vs. Equipment

If he already has all the gear he needs, gift an experience instead. A day at a golf course or a new golf simulator software lets him enjoy the game differently. If you also have a husband who is equally invested in golf, check out our guide on finding the best golf gift for husbands.
