Introduction
As their name would suggest, Sunday Golf started out making slim walking bags, like the Loma XL [review HERE]. Over the last few years, however, they’ve expanded their line to include a bag for every golfer. The Sunday Golf El Camino Superlite golf bag sees the company getting back to its roots with a lighter, more compact version of the beloved OG El Camino. I tested one to see how it stands up to the rigors of the course.
Looks
From clubs to bags to clothes, a lot of golf products move through the Saternus home. My wife and two daughters usually treat it like furniture – stuff to be ignored and walked around. However, the Sunday Golf El Camino Superlite golf bag drew special notice from both of my girls. They each commented on how much they liked the color and that it has some visual interest without doing too much. This may be a commentary on how dull most golf bags have become, but I thought this was worth mentioning.
After spending some time with it, I’ve decided I agree with my kids. The El Camino Superlite uses contrasting colors to draw attention to its multitude of features, but the minimalist branding keeps it looking cool. The Sunday Golf script logo appears on the bag three times, but you have to look for it. Their sunset (or sunrise) logo pops up on the strap junction and on the left side pocket in a sharp tone-on-tone reflective.
The Sunday Golf El Camino Superlite is available in three colorways: neon yellow, grey blue/black (shown here), and tan/black.
Features
Superlite does not have to mean short on good features. The four thoughtfully designed zippered pockets are headlined by a waterproof valuables pocket that sits on top of the full-length apparel pocket. The ball pocket held 18 balls comfortably and could probably stretch to two dozen. It also features a divider if you need to stash something else alongside your golf balls.
Beyond the zippered pockets, the Sunday Golf El Camino Superlite has two other compartments -one above the ball pocket and one below the valuables pocket. It also has a Velcro glove holder and a loop for a towel or rangefinder case. Finally, a feature that I really like on a lighter bag like this is the elastic tee holder. If you’re trying to keep weight down, you don’t want a giant pocket full of tees, you want enough to get you through the round. Additionally, keeping the tees in these loops keeps your pockets (pant and golf bag) organized.
Performance
Over the last year or so, I’ve tested numerous “luxury” golf bags, like Sunday Golf’s Ryder S-Class [review HERE]. Most of these bags tip the scales at over 5 pounds, so when I picked up the Sunday Golf El Camino Superlite – which weighs just 3.2 pounds – it was like lifting air. I wouldn’t have thought that 2 pounds would make such a big difference, but it’s really noticeable. If you think in terms of percentages, it makes more sense: the El Camino Superlite weighs less than 60% of what these lux bags do.
Sunday Golf was able to shave all this weight by making the bag smaller and using different materials. The ripstop nylon is extremely light, and the top of the El Camino Superlite is over an inch smaller than the Ryder’s in both dimensions. Sunday Golf gave the El Camino Superlite a four-way top, but they didn’t skimp on the dividers: they’re all full length. They state that it can fit “up to 12 clubs”, and I found that 12 clubs (with midsized grips) slid in and out without issue.
Turning to the bottom of the bag, we find another place that Sunday Golf saved some weight. The El Camino Superlite doesn’t have a “full” bottom, instead using a modified base that’s essentially a beefier kickstand. This should be substantially more durable and sits more easily on a cart. The leg deployment gets a C (which is average, no grade inflation here) – the stand extends and retracts as it should but without any snap.
Finally, the Sunday Golf El Camino Superlite has a solid double strap system. The straps are well-padded, self-balancing, and easily adjusted while in the carrying position. The El Camino Superlite also has the same excellent clips that are used on the Storm Ryder [review HERE] to remove the straps. I don’t imagine the El Camino Superlite is going to ride that often, but it’s nice to be able to get the straps out of the way when it does. There are handles on the spine, top, and bottom that make the bag easy to move even when the straps are gone.
Conclusion
If you want to walk more rounds this year, putting your clubs in the the Sunday Golf El Camino Superlite is a great idea. The bag itself lives up to the name, and it will encourage you to bring only the necessities to the course. You may find that less gear leads to better focus and lower scores.

If you want a lighter bag, don’t put 18 balls in it! 200 tees are lighter than 10 golf balls.
That being said, I like the bag.
