Golf trips are more than a chance to play top courses. They’re an opportunity to reconnect with friends, relax and enjoy some friendly competition. Ask anyone who’s been on a great buddies trip and they’ll tell you, you really only need one thing to make it an incredible trip — great company.
That said, a few key details can transform a good trip into an unforgettable one. With the right gear, you’ll stay comfortable, look sharp and even boost your recovery so you can keep going whether you’re playing 18 or grinding out 36.
After all, you always want to be prepared. That’s where this handy list comes in. Keep reading to discover six travel essentials that will enhance your experience and make your time away even more special.
6 must-have items for your next golf trip

Dockers Go Airweave Chino, Slim Fit
It’s not easy to find a pair of pants that can do everything, but these Go Airweave Chinos from Dockers are just that. They are slim fit to give you a tailored, professional look in the office, but their four-way stretch and moisture-wicking fabric means you can bring them to the golf course and bend and swing freely. The Flex Comfort Waistband even has added stretch. Better yet, if you buy a pair now, you can get them on sale!

Dockers Lightweight Nylon Vest
When you prepare for the worst, you’re always ready for whatever the conditions throw at you. That’s why I always pack a couple travel-friendly layers in with my golf travel bag. I especially love compressible items because they’re space savers. I also prefer to bring a vest, like this nylon puffer from Dockers, over a full jacket because they keep you super warm without restricting your swing.

The Imperial Hat Caddie 2.0
If you’re like me, you like to have options when you travel. That’s why I love this hat caddie from Imperial. The structured bag protects your hats from getting dirty or flattened in transport. Now, you’ll be able to pack your hats in your travel golf bag, saving you space in your suitcase and allowing you to bring as many hat options as you can fit in the bag (which is about six).

TRUE linkswear Lux G
Nothing dampens your spirits faster than realizing you’ve packed the wrong pair of shoes. That’s why it’s imperative you bring shoes that you know are as durable as they are comfortable, like the Lux G from True Linkswear. They’re waterproof and feature a coated mesh vamp that makes them easy to clean. Plus, the signature Wanderlux midsole stabilizes and cushions your foot with every step, making them the perfect pick for any upcoming buddies trip.

YETI Packing Cubes – Large
If you feel like you’re playing Tetris every time you pack, or rather overpack, consider investing in a set of packing cubes, like these from Yeti. They fit more than you’d think and are a great way to keep your things organized, especially when traveling to multiple destinations. A pro tip for using these is to put your layers and rain gear all in one. This will give you more space in your golf travel bag and make it easier to carry them in your golf bag.

Recovery is key when you’re on the road and there’s no better way to relieve sore muscles than a portable massage gun, like this one from Hyperice. It might be small, but it’s mighty. This massage therapy device is designed to alleviate stress and tension while also targeting deep knots and fatigued muscles. Use it after your rounds to reduce lactic acid and promote recovery.
