Editor's Note: This article is written in partnership with G/FORE.
Like sugar and spice, golf and luxury have enjoyed a centuries-long partnership, each enhancing the best the other has to offer. The trick is finding luxe golf gifts—by which we mean apparel, accessories, gear, and equipment—that also bring the best in performance. This list is filled with thoughtful, elevated golf gifts marrying, in equal measures, innovation and quality, so every golfer on your shopping list can play better, smarter, and longer. From cactus-powered performance skincare for faster recovery after a long day playing in the sun, to supremely soft G/FORE cashmere hoodies tailored for sport and beyond, we’ve got you covered with all things sportive and high-class in golf.
Meet the “MG4+ O2,” a refined evolution of the upscale performance brand’s best-selling “MG4+” golf shoe that amplifies the athletic design and superior comfort of the original model. The shoe is now available in two performance-driven options: the first is the “G/LOCK softspike system,” ideal for those after ultimate grip and traction; and the second is a spikeless design, engineered for maximum comfort and control on the course.
This sleek golfer must-have delivers full-color course data with 15 hours of battery life (yes, even when GPS mode is activated) in one slim package you won’t be embarrassed to show up in. The utility watch connects with any smartphone to capture stat-tracking, stroke counting, and more. And the most luxe feature? With texts and emails delivered to your wrist, you can leave your phone in the cart.
This best-selling carry bag features a four-way top complete with velour lining for maximum club protection, as well as a rotator stand system for maximum stability, a self-adjusting convertible strap for automatic equal distribution, and a compression-molded neoprene back panel for comfort. The exterior boasts elevated grosgrain detailing and quilted panels, plus a self-colored rain hood, and an umbrella holder. It’s also equipped with several pockets, including a large garment compartment, a water-resistant pocket for personal items, a cooler-lined water bottle sleeve, a magnetic velour-lined rangefinder pocket, and a pen pocket—all coming in at an impressively light 5.75 lbs.
Bid farewell to sticky, glumpy sunscreen thanks to this high-end, sheer sun-protecting duo. The easy-to-apply stick is travel-friendly and means you don't need to take your gloves off to stay UV-smart. And the moisturizing lotion is supple and sweat- and water-resistant for more than an hour.
Engineered for all-day wear and all-day play, this polo is formulated from super-soft stretch knit that’s moisture-wicking and breathable, taking you from hot afternoons on the greens to cool nights at the clubhouse in one fell swoop. Simply throw it on with your favorite pair of pants, joggers, or shorts, and you’re all set.
There’s nothing less appealing than digging around for misplaced rangefinders, brushes, towels, and other golfer necessities, holding up your foursome in the process. This clever attachment fits any golf bag on the market, keeping your tools and goodies in place, safely and securely, and at the ready with style, function, and fool-proof ease.
This cashmere hooded sweater is equal parts relaxed and refined. It’s fabricated from premium cashmere, meaning you get all the warmth plus plenty of breathability. The layering staple is soft-to-the-touch and looks elevated with jeans or trousers, or slipped on under a jacket and joggers for an effortless, weekender look.
This techy upgrade to the alignment stick is not your grandfather's training aid. At a fairly entry-level price point, unlock pro-approved, laser-driven drills—all in one sturdy, durable product.
This rustic-chic carry-all is handmade in the USA, ideal for keeping a few golf balls, tees, markers, lip balm, flask, and cash at the ready. The waxed canvas and embossed leather construction has a retro, old-school feel that's fit for any muny or upscale links.
For the golfer on your list who loves nice things, this travel-ready trio of tough, juicy cactus-infused luxe men's skincare includes a cleanser, toner, and serum to purify, energize, and hydrate weathered skin.
This completely waterproof (and spill-proof) cooler is hardy and durable without the clunky plastic feel of old-school hard-sided coolers. Plus, it's versatile, available in a slew of sizes for your foursome's libation needs, and a variety of sleek color ways from sage to sand.
