Best Cart Bag: RevCore Cart

• Bag Type: Cart
• Clubs: 14
• Weight: 9.12 LBS
• Pockets: 9
• Material: Synthetic Leather

If you never walk and only use a cart, this bag could be perfect for you. When you combine the quality and performance you get with the price, it’s pretty tough to beat.

It’s not a cheap bag, but you could compare it to models that are $100 more expensive from brands like Taylormade, Ping, and Vessel. The full-length club dividers and synthetic leather material are my favorite features.

The reason I prefer this over the Big Rig is that they’re almost the same price, but this bag is built with more durable material. It’s synthetic leather compared to fabric. It has metal zippers compared to metal/string.

The PROS:

• Full-length dividers make it easy to take clubs out
• More than enough room for all your stuff
• Durable stain-resistant material

The CONS:

• Not ideal for carrying
• No magnetic pocket

Runner-Up Cart Bag: Sunday Golf Big Rig

• Bag Type: Cart
• Clubs: 14
• Weight: 7 LBS
• Pockets: 12
• Material: Nylon

If you’re looking for a cart bag that’s a bit lighter than the RevCore, this could be the best option for you. It had plenty of room for all my stuff, it was pretty light, and the quality was top-notch.

It’s one of the best-looking bags on the market and the quality is just as good as most of the higher-end bags out there. My wife claimed it for herself as soon as I took it out of the box.

It’s middle of the range in terms of price but is well worth it because it’ll last for the next 10+ years (as long as you take care of it). The material it’s made from is tough and stain-resistant, which should keep it looking new for a long time.

The reason I prefer the RevCore is that it’s a bit more high-end, with synthetic leather, metal zippers, and velvet dividers.

The PROS:

• The clubs are smooth to take out and put in
• It has convenient pockets for every piece of gear
• Has a bigger selection of colors

The CONS:

• The zippers aren’t as durable as the RevCore bag

Best Stand Bag: RevCore Stand

• Bag Type: Carry
• Clubs: 14
• Weight: 7.5 LBS
• Pockets: 7
• Material: Synthetic Leather
• More Info: Read Our Review

If you’re in the market for a high-end carry bag that has a clean and classy look, this could be the one for you. In most cases, it’s the bag I’m leaving the house with.

If you’re worried about weight, this may not be the best option for you. Other bags on the market weigh less than 5 lbs, so this is a bit on the heavier side. It’s not something I find important, but some people do.

What I like about this bag is that you have the option between 6 and 14-way club dividers. I went with the 6-way top because it doesn’t have as much club clatter.

Currently, it comes in black and blue (like the cart version). I have both colors and they’re nice. Blue has a bit more character while black is classic.

The PROS:

• High-quality feel and look
• It has all the features you’d want
• The strap is well-padded

The CONS:

• It’s a little bit on the heavier side
• Color options are limited

Runner-Up Stand Bag: Sun Mountain 4.5LS

• Bag Type: Carry
• Clubs: 14
• Weight: 5.4 LBS
• Pockets: 8
• Material: Fabric
• Check Price: Amazon or PlayBetter

If you occasionally walk and carry your bag, you’ll want a stand bag. This is my second favorite option since it’s lightweight, durable, holds all my gear, and can also be used on pushcarts.

There are several stand bags that don’t work well on a cart, which is frustrating. The 4.5ls works fairly well, not perfect, but it’s far better than some.

It’s got a middle-of-the-range price tag, but it’s something that’ll last for many seasons to come (or your entire weekend golf career) if you take care of it. A lot of bags have issues with the zippers coming apart, but everything has held up nicely on this one.

It’s probably the most comfortable bag to carry, better than the popular bags from Taylormade and Callaway. Comfort is one of the top factors to look for, so that’s why I’m recommending this one.

The main reason to go for this bag over the Revcore is the weight and color options. The 4.5ls is 2 lbs lighter and comes in quite a few more colors.

The PROS:

• Plenty of room
• One of the more comfortable bags to carry
• The 14-way dividers are awesome

The CONS:

• Doesn’t have a bigger putter slot
• Being able to remove the straps would be nice (for when it’s on a pushcart)

Best Mid-Sized Bag: Sunday Golf El Camino

• Bag Type: Carry
• Clubs: 10
• Weight: 3.9 LBS
• Pockets: 5
• Material: Nylon
• More Info: Read Our Review

This is the bag I use when I walk the course and carry my clubs. It’s a Sunday bag, which means that it’s smaller than your traditional bag and doesn’t hold a full set of clubs (it holds up to 10 clubs).

If you play with a full set of clubs then this won’t be for you. If you’re like me and have 10 clubs or less, it could be perfect for you.

Why?

It’s lightweight and easy to carry on shorter courses (if you play par 3’s). It’s big enough to carry most of what you’d need on a full course. It can also be used on the cart.

The PROS:

• It has plenty of pockets for all your stuff (5 total)
• It’s the most versatile bag
• It has an insulated drink pocket
• It’s light and easy to carry

The CONS:

• Not the best for full sets of clubs
• The legs are a little bit narrow

Best Sunday Bag: Sunday Golf Loma

• Bag Type: Carry
• Clubs: 6
• Weight: 1.95 LBS
• Pockets: 4
• Material: Nylon

If you’re someone who doesn’t carry a full set of clubs, this could be the bag for you. Whether that’s to the range, par 3 course, or walking a quick and light 9 holes.

This is a very niche bag so it won’t be for the majority of people. The reason is that it’ll only fit 6 clubs. That said, it’s less than 2 lbs which means it’ll be super light.

I don’t know about you, but I usually don’t bring all my clubs to the range. I also play 9 or less holes quite often. The Loma is a perfect bag for these situations.

The main downside is that it comes with a single strap. A double strap would be more comfortable, and if that’s important to you, they have the Loma XL.

The PROS:

• Extremely lightweight
• Pretty decent price tag

The CONS:

• Comes with a single strap
• Limited space for clubs and gear

Best Travel Bag: CaddyDaddy First Class

• Hard Case: At The Top
• Weight: 10 LBS
• Pockets: 3
• Material: Nylon

If you’re traveling with your clubs (especially by plane) you’ll want to get something to protect your clubs. A lot of people will spend $500 yearly on a new driver but not a couple hundred to protect them.

I’ve looked at a number of different options at different price points. Some of the cheaper bags are essentially large duffle bags that don’t have much padding. Some of the bags that have a lot of padding are $400+.

I wanted to find something in the middle, one that offered a good amount of padding, had reasonable storage, and wasn’t going to cost a fortune.

This is the one I ended up with.

It doesn’t have the most padding but is built really well, it’ll hold my bags/clubs/shoes/jacket, and it’s fairly affordable. Plus, we have a discount for our readers.

Final Thoughts

Hopefully, this list of bags has narrowed things down and pointed you in the right direction. They’re all solid picks but they’re not all for the same person.

If you never walk the course, you can get a cart bag to maximize storage. If you occasionally walk the course, a cart bag is the wrong choice.

We’re going to continue testing different golf bags and will keep this list updated. If you have any questions related to the bags above, be sure to leave a comment. You can also mention a bag that could be added to the list and we’ll check it out!
