Under $25: the stuff every golf bag runs out of
Tees, gloves and a classic book they can read before spring.[1]
Ben Hogan's Five Lessons: The Modern Fundamentals of Golf
- Definitive edition
- Lee Trevino introduction
- Hogan archive photos
Ben Hogan's instruction book on the grip, stance and swing, in a definitive edition with a new introduction by Lee Trevino and photos from the Hogan archive. Online swing tips contradict each other weekly; this is the classic many golfers start from. It is a winter read for the months the course is closed. It suits a golfer who likes the history of the game.[1]
- Good for
- Golfers who want to understand their swing.
- Skip if
- They learn only from video and launch monitors.
PrideSports PTS Wood Golf Tees
- Height stripe
- Natural hardwood
- For drivers and woods
A bag of PrideSports' Professional Tee System wood tees, the hardwood tees sold as the top brand on tour. Cheap tees snap and leave you guessing the height; a stripe on each tee sets the same height every drive. These are the long ones for drivers and woods, and a full bag lasts a season. It is the small gift every golf bag runs out of.[2]
- Good for
- Golfers who play every weekend.
- Skip if
- They only use plastic or step tees.
FootJoy Men's WeatherSof Golf Glove, Two Pack
- FiberSof material
- ComforTab closure
- Mesh back
Two of FootJoy's WeatherSof gloves, the long-running synthetic glove from one of golf's biggest glove makers. Leather gloves feel great and wear out fast; FiberSof material keeps a soft, secure grip round after round. A mesh back keeps the hand cool, and two in a pack covers a long season. It is the practical gift you can buy without knowing their handicap.[1]
- Good for
- Men who play in all weather.
- Skip if
- You do not know their size and glove hand.
$25 to $50: small upgrades they will use every round
Soft balls, a putting trainer, a swing trainer, a towel, a belt and a tour hat.[1]
Frogger Amphibian Golf Towel
- Wet and dry sides
- Carabiner clip
- Cotton and bamboo
A two-sided golf towel: you wet the inside layer to scrub clubs and balls while the outside stays dry for hands and grips, with a carabiner for the bag. Most golfers carry one towel that is either soaked or useless; this one is wet and dry at once. It cleans grooves between shots without a trip to the ball washer. It is a small upgrade they will touch every hole.[3]
- Good for
- Golfers who clean their clubs after every shot.
- Skip if
- They already own one; a second is rarely needed.
PuttOut Pressure Putt Trainer
- Pace feedback ramp
- Perfect putt target
- Folding design
A small putting target with a curved ramp: made putts roll back as far as they would have rolled past the hole, and a tiny target holds only perfect pace. A plain cup on the carpet rewards putts that would race past; this one rejects bad pace and lip-outs. It folds flat and works on carpet, a mat or a real green. It is winter practice that takes no space.[1]
- Good for
- Golfers who three-putt more than they admit.
- Skip if
- They will not practice at home.
BULLIANT Woven Stretch Golf Belt, Two Pack
- Two belts
- Stretch woven weave
- Gift boxed
Two braided stretch belts in a gift box, the woven style that has become standard golf course wear. Leather belts dig in when you bend over a putt; a stretch belt moves with the swing. Any buckle hole fits because the weave takes the prong anywhere. It is an easy wear-on-course gift in a box that is ready to wrap.[1]
- Good for
- Golfers who wear chinos and polos on course.
- Skip if
- They wear only leather dress belts.
Titleist Tour Performance Golf Hat
- Tour Performance line
- Titleist logo
- Prior generation model
Titleist's Tour Performance golf hat, the prior generation of the cap line Titleist builds for tour play. Promo hats from charity scrambles look cheap; a Titleist cap is what serious golfers wear. It keeps sun off the face for a full round. It is a gift that says you know their brand.[1]
- Good for
- Golfers who play Titleist balls or clubs.
- Skip if
- They are loyal to another brand's logo.
Callaway Supersoft Golf Balls
- Holiday edition pack
- Soft feel ball
- Callaway Supersoft
A pack of Callaway Supersoft balls in a limited holiday edition pack, one of the most popular soft balls in golf. Tour balls cost a lot to lose in a pond; Supersoft is the easygoing ball for casual rounds. The holiday pack makes it a ready-made Christmas gift. It is the smart gift for a golfer who loses balls.[1]
- Good for
- Casual golfers with moderate swing speed.
- Skip if
- They play one tour ball and will not switch.
SKLZ Golf Swing Trainer and Warm Up Tool
- Weighted head
- Built-in grip guide
- Legal in the bag
SKLZ's flexible swing trainer with a weighted head and a built-in grip guide, longer than a driver shaft. A bucket of range balls in cold weather is no fun; this works in a backyard or a garage. The flexible shaft builds a slight lag at the top for better tempo, and it is legal to carry in the bag for warm-ups. It is a practice aid for golfers who rush the downswing.[4]
- Good for
- Golfers who warm up before every round.
- Skip if
- They have no room to swing indoors or out.
$50 to $100: tour balls and winter practice
Premium golf balls and an indoor putting mat for the off season.[1]
Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls
- Urethane cover
- Softer, lower spin
- Flat, long flight
A box of Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls, Titleist's flagship tour ball with a urethane cover and a softer feel than its sibling, the X version. Most golfers buy cheaper balls for themselves and dream about playing the tour ball. It gives long distance, a flat flight and real spin around the greens. It is the golf gift that never misses.[1]
- Good for
- Golfers who play often and shoot in the low range.
- Skip if
- They lose many balls; tour balls in a pond hurt.
PuttOut Medium Putting Mat
- Medium-fast roll
- Distance markings
- Rubber backed
A rubber-backed putting mat from PuttOut with distance markings, alignment lines and ghost holes, sized for a hallway or a garage. Carpet has its own grain and bumps; the mat rolls true at a medium-fast pace. It ships rolled in a tube so it lies flat without creases. Paired with the PuttOut trainer it makes a winter putting green at home.[1]
- Good for
- Golfers who practice putting in winter.
- Skip if
- You have no long, flat floor space.
$100 and up: gear they would not buy themselves
A laser rangefinder and the swing trainer many coaches use.[1]
Orange Whip Golf Swing Trainer
- Counterbalanced shaft
- Made in USA
- Ambidextrous
The counterbalanced swing trainer with the orange ball on a flexible shaft, handmade in the USA and used by golf professionals for rhythm and balance. Most swing aids fix one fault; the Orange Whip trains the whole motion. A few continuous swings a day keep the body loose through the off season. It is the training aid golfers want and rarely buy.[5]
- Good for
- Golfers who want better tempo and balance.
- Skip if
- They will not use it daily; it needs regular swings.
Callaway 300 Pro Golf Laser Rangefinder
- Slope on/off switch
- Pin lock with pulse
- Magnetic cart mount
Callaway's laser rangefinder with pin lock, a vibration pulse on lock and a slope reading you can switch off for tournament play. Course markers are rough and GPS can be off by a few yards; a laser gives the number to the pin. A magnet holds it on the cart frame between shots. It is the upgrade golfers put off buying themselves.[1]
- Good for
- Golfers who guess yardages and come up short.
- Skip if
- They already use a GPS watch they trust.
How we picked
A good Christmas gift for a golfer is gear from a brand they already trust, or practice gear that keeps the swing alive through winter. Novelty golf mugs and joke tees end up in a garage drawer. Golfers burn through balls, tees and gloves every season, and they rarely splurge on a rangefinder or a training aid for themselves, so those are the gifts that land.
The 13 picks below span 4 budgets, from about $14 to $200, and each one links to Amazon so you can check today's price and delivery [1]. If you do not know their game, skip clubs and anything that needs fitting.

FAQ
What do you buy a golfer for Christmas?
Buy something they use up or would not buy for themselves. A dozen Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls or a bag of PTS tees always gets used, while a PuttOut trainer or an Orange Whip keeps their game sharp in winter. Skip clubs unless you know their specs, because clubs need fitting [1]
What is a good gift for a golfer who has everything?
Consumables and practice gear. Even golfers with full bags run out of balls, tees and gloves, and few own a proper putting setup at home. A PuttOut Medium Putting Mat with the pressure trainer makes a winter practice green, and a Frogger towel is a small upgrade they will notice [1]
Are golf rangefinders a good gift?
Yes, for golfers who play regularly and keep guessing distances. A laser rangefinder gives the exact number to the flag, which helps with club choice on every approach. Many golfers put off buying one because of the price. If they already wear a GPS watch, a rangefinder adds less than it seems [1]
