November 26, 2019

When it comes to finding the best golf products, every golfer needs a little guidance. Don’t sweat it, we got you covered! For our new Best of Everything series, we’ve canvassed the golf accessories, apparel and game-improvement space to identify the very best stuff for your game. Think of us as your personal shopping assistant.

BEST GOLF BELTS

Belts may be the most ubiquitous style accessory in both men’s and women’s closets. It’s rare to own just one, or even two. You need a variety of styles to match specific occasions: Formal, casual, work attire, and, of course, golf. But believe it or not, belts have only been a fashion staple for the past 100 years or so. Before the Roaring ’20s, pants didn’t even include belt loops. Now, you’d be hard-pressed to find a pair without them, unless you’re into wearing sweats or joggers, which don’t count as welcome apparel at some courses.

Regardless of your style preferences when it comes to pants, belts remain an important element of on-course wardrobes. Apart from adding a bit of flair to an otherwise run-of-the-mill ensemble, they’re also functional, helping to keep pants and polos firmly in place. While belt buckles had a bright, shiny spotlight on Tour about a decade ago, adorning the waists of players like Anthony Kim and Rory Sabbatini, today’s belts are a bit more understated, although no less fashionable.

Woven belts have become especially popular in recent years, and the myriad color combinations make it easy to find one to complement any outfit. For those who like a traditional look but welcome modern convenience, you can even buy hole-less belts that tighten with a hidden mechanism behind the buckle. Regardless of the type of belt you opt to purchase, it’s important to remember that truly fashionable belts should stand out on their own, while workhorse solid-color versions should let your outfit do the shining. Here are our picks for the best golf belts.

Best golf belt for all-day comfort

Beltology

Beltology’s signature woven design (handcrafted in New York City) is hole-free, meaning you can insert the prong wherever you please and never get caught between sizes — useful for when you’re not in, ahem, peak golf shape. The belts also stretch up to 15 percent, so they’ll move with you as you twist, turn and torque on the tee box.
