GOLF IS INDENIABLY a game of accessories. Sure, you might just need clubs, a bag, and a ball (or four) to hit the links, but there are dozens of accessories to add to your golf kit that will improve your game, improve your playing experience, and show off your distinct personality on the course. The best golf accessories on Amazon not only do those things, but are oftentimes way more affordable than what you’ll find at your local club or golf store.

No matter if you’ve been playing golf for two days or twenty years, you probably have noticed that it’s easy to end up with a pocketful of tees, markers, and tools—plus a bag and golf cart that somehow become home to a rangefinder, a speaker, water bottles, towels and all kinds of bigger gear. The thing is, all of these accessories are actually useful. So while you don’t technically need a lot to learn the game, you will inevitably become a collector of golf accessories, each of which serves an important function in keeping your scores low.

Best Golf Accessories in 2024

We rounded up 20 of our favorite golf accessories that you can find on Amazon, from head covers that remind us of our favorite golf movie to water-resistant caps, polarized sunglasses, tees and more. Keep scrolling for the full list.

Player+ GPS Speaker with Touch Screen

If you can’t live without your tunes and want to spend your cash on a very golf-specific accessory, you should definitely look at the Blue Tees Player+ GPS Speaker. Not only does this golf gadget bop your favorite playlist, but it lets you measure your driving distance, navigate hazards and get precise distances to the green and pin placement.

Phone Caddy

If you’re a big fan of riding rather than walking, you need to get a phone caddy. Rather than take your phone out of your pocket every time you sit down or stand up, set it up on your cart where you can always see it. This mount fits just about any smartphone and will keep it safe going over the bumps and rattles that inevitably come with riding in a golf cart.

Magnetic Towel

You can golf without a towel, but we wouldn’t recommend it. Keep your hands, your clubs, your ball and your shoes clean with a magnetic towel, which you can carry around with you, use when needed and drop it to the ground once you’re done. Then, pick it up with your club instead of bending over each and every time you need to pick it up.

Stratus Tech Glove 2-Pack

A glove is an accessory that 99% of golfers will realize is a must-have for them. My dad somehow still plays without a glove but I’ve been a die-hard golf glove wearer ever since I accidentally launched my 7 iron into a pond on a 100 degree northern California day. Don’t get caught without a glove, especially in the summer.

Happy Gilmore Leather Headcovers Set

Every golfer has clubs that need headcovers, but they’re an endlessly customizable accessory that gives you space to rep the company that made your driver, your favorite sports team, your favorite pet, or, in this case, your favorite golf movie. The options are endless, but this cover set is unique without drawing too much attention.

10x7ft Golf Practice Net with Tri-Turf Golf Mat

If you’ve got a garage or backyard with room for a practice net, you need to pick one up. Like a putting mat for your home, a practice net and golf mat will help you improve your game when you only have a few minutes to spare, can’t make it to the course or just don’t want to shell out $100 for a round of golf. This one comes with a three-surface mat to practice shots from the fairway and the rough.

Series 1 Sport Golf Rangefinder with Slope

While it would be nice to have our distance dialed in just by looking at the target, that’s just beyond our eyes’ and brains’ abilities. If you really want to know how far you need to hit each shot, you need a rangefinder. This one from Blue Tees is super affordable, measures distance and slope up to 650 yards, and has hundreds of five star ratings on Amazon and across the web.

Crit Enliven Golf Sunglasses

If you want to make sure you can actually see your target on every shot, you need to snag a pair of golf sunglasses. You can invest in some Oakleys or other pricey sport shades, but we also love an affordable pair from Tifosi, who specialize in making durable sunglasses that won’t break the bank. Plus, they’re cheap to replace when you inevitably sit on them.

adidas Men’s S2G Spikeless Leather 24 Golf Shoes

You technically would never need golf shoes, but once you find a pair you like, you’ll never want to go back to wearing tennis shoes on the golf course. Even a spikeless shoe like this one provides excellent support and grip — much better than your everyday trainers could. Adidas made these specifically with the golfer-on-the-go in mind; wear them all day if you have to, they’ll fit in anywhere.

CaddyLite One Push Cart

If you’re not a fan of golf carts or tend to play walking-only courses, consider picking up a push cart to take the burden of your bag off your back. Not only does this cart from CaddyLite tote your bag, but it has a cupholder, an umbrella holder, a mesh net for keeping extra balls close by and folds up for easy storage once you’re done with your round.

Golf Divot Repair Tool

Don’t be the person that can never fix their pitch marks. Get a divot tool (or two) and keep it with you at all times on the golf course. Fixing your divots will keep the course looking nice and will prevent others from having to clean up after you around the greens.

UPF Wide Brim Golf Hat

Another summer golf essential is the wide-brimmed hat with UPF protection. Believe it or not, five hours in the sun is not good for your ears and neck, so slather on the sunscreen and don a big ol’ hat like this one whenever you get your sticks out this summer.

Circuit Trainer Putting System

Putting is a mystery wrapped in an enigma, even for the best golfers in the world, so spending some of your hard-earned cash on an accessory for putting practice makes sense. This Circuit Trainer System sets up in a flash and has a QR code that will take you through over a dozen different putting drills.

Hypervolt Go 2

Believe it or not, regular golfers, weekend warriors, and the twice-a-year crowd all have something in common: the golf swing puts some very weird strain on the body. No matter how limber you are, your body will inevitably feel some aches and pains after a range session or a day on the links, so having a small, portable massage gun like the Hypervolt Go in your bag is a must. Your back, your feet, and all your other nagging pain points will thank you.

Approach S10

If you’re a data nerd and want some real-time GPS yardages to go along with your rangefinder calculations, you need a golf watch. This starter watch from Garmin has data for 41,000 preloaded courses and is shockingly affordable. The benefits and features are countless, but the most useful include distance to the green, information about hazards and doglegs, and serves as a virtual scorecard. It also gives you access to the Garmin Express app, where you can keep track of your rounds and access round data from your phone or computer.

Accelerator Pro Putting Mat

An indoor putting mat is a staple golf accessory. Whether you’re wandering around your office during a conference call or like to unwind with a putting session once the work day is over, anywhere can be a practice green if you pick up a putting mat. This one has thousands of five-star reviews thanks to useful alignment guides, up to 9 ft. of putting distance and automatic ball return.

Vintage Golf Club Carry Bags Travel Case

Earlier we mentioned that a golf bag is a requirement for golf and not quite an accessory, but, over the past few years, minimal golf bags like this one from Tourbon have been coming very much back in style. Whether you’re headed to the range and don’t need to bring all of your clubs, are headed out for a round at the local pitch and putt, or just want to walk a quick 9 holes without weighing yourself down, a vintage-inspired carry bag is an ideal accessory to keep on hand.

Golf Grip Trainer Attachment

If you’ve been known for your notorious slice or your dangerous duck hook, you probably need to work on your grip. While dialing in your hand placement isn’t a panacea for a horrible golf swing, you’ll notice immediate improvement once you figure out the right way to hold the club. This affordable tool clips straight onto your grip and makes it easy to get your hands in the correct position.

Wood Tees, 3-1/4 inch ProLength 135 count

An accessory you should always have on hand is a tee. It may seem like a silly thing to buy in bulk, but when in doubt, you should pack more tees than you think you’ll need. Plus, it’s nice to have a few extra to help your buddies out when they inevitably run out after 12 holes. We still love hardwood tees over plastic ones, so these are a perfect pick.

A-Game Hydro

So this isn’t the most affordable accessory on the list, but Melin hats have become a stalwart in the golf world. They’re comfortable, fit great and the A-Game Hydro is even water-resistant, so you can rock it in the rain or on a nice day.
