A True Guide for Golf Gifts
We’ve seen them, too: the “gift guides” that are nothing more than lists of every product that was released in 2025. Not exactly helpful.
As usual, Plugged In Golf is different. This is a curated list of the very best gifts you can buy a golfer. While it covers a range of items from tech to apparel in every price range, any of these items will put a smile on the face of the golfer on your holiday gift list.
PuttBuddies
If your favorite golfer loves to have a laugh on the course – or if they need to lighten up a bit – make a PuttBuddies divot tool part of their holiday gift. These officially licensed tools run the gamut from wholesome (Spongebob and Barbie) to eyebrow raising (the South Park “Big Balls Randy” marker). PuttBuddies licenses include Harry Potter, DC Comics, and many other coming in early 2026.

Sugarloaf Social Club
Since its inception, Sugarloaf Social Club gear has been the “Bat Signal for golf nerds.” It’s the quintessential “If you know, you know” brand but without the snobbery or fake hype. If your favorite golfer is a true golf sicko, they’re probably already tuned into SSC, and this gift will instantly vault you to “Coolest Gift Giver” status.
While you can’t go wrong with anything from SSC, the two items we’re highlighting here are the Pique Pocket Polo and SSC T-Zip. The polo comes in several colorways that are fun and bold without being over the top, and the fit is comfortable without being slouchy. Their T-Zip is a perfect layering piece that looks great as a top layer but is thin enough to wear under heavier garments.

PAYNTR Sport Classic LE Golf Shoes
PAYNTR is at the forefront of performance footwear, and the Sport Classic LE has the style to match. Despite being a spikeless shoe, these will keep your favorite golfer rooted to the ground for more power and stability. And unlike many high performance shoes, these have all day comfort.

Cobalt Q-6SM Rangefinder
There are countless rangefinders on the market, but Cobalt is one of the few companies focused on quality rather than racing to the bottom on price. This is evidenced by what Dylan calls “fantastic ease of use” and an unconditional lifetime warranty. The new Q-6SM adds a cart magnet – the most-demanded feature by Plugged In Golf readers – to the popular Q-6 Slope.

Sunice Asher Waterproof Quilted Coat
While not technically a golf gift, the Asher coat from Sunice is going to keep your favorite golfer warm all winter. As a Chicagoan, I know from winter coats, and this one is aces. It’s waterproof, packed with 3M™ Thinsulate™ featherless fill, but still breathable. If you’re buying for someone who lives in a cold climate, this is a can’t miss gift.

Shot Scope V5 GPS + Shot Tracker
For the serious golfer in your life, Shot Scope’s V5 shot tracker will offer deep insights into the data of their game. And unlike other shot tracking systems, this isn’t a “gift” that comes with a monthly fee – Shot Scope’s shot tracking and GPS services don’t require a subscription of any kind.

Swing Caddie SC4 Pro Launch Monitor
Don’t let your favorite golfer’s swing rust during the cold winter months. Keep them in the game with golf simulation and data-driven practice powered by the SC4 Pro. Unlike many launch monitors, this one doesn’t require a degree in computer science to use or a second mortgage to afford.

Bushnell Wingman HD GPS/Speaker
With a vivid, full color screen and booming, crystal clear sound, the Wingman HD makes no compromises when it comes to course data or fun. If your favorite golfer loves to have their tunes on the course, this is an easy choice, and the programmable “sound bites” are a fun way to celebrate great shots or get under an opponent’s skin.

Koger Golf Bag
There’s so much great product in the golf world that it’s rare for us to say something is definitively our favorite. It’s even more rare for that favorite status to last for years, but that’s exactly what the Koger golf bag has achieved. This simple Sunday bag is everything the walking golfer needs, done to perfection.

Golf-Grip Training Aid
You may not know much about golf, but you don’t need to: this is a training aid that every golfer can use. Priced at just $25, this is also one of the best values in golf. The grip is one of the fundamentals that never goes out of style and is never fully perfected. This trainer helps to dial it in so that your favorite golfer can hit better, more consistent shots and play happier golf.

PUR Truth Prepare Putting Trainer
The PUR Truth Prepare remains one of our favorite putting trainers because it sets up quickly, is easy and intuitive to use, and it will make you better. Your favorite golfer doesn’t need to be a swing nerd or a digital wizard for this training aid to improve their putting.
