Golf bag carts provide significant energy-savings and help players focus more of their efforts on accurate shot execution and game strategy development, elevating performance while heightening overall enjoyment of golfing experience.
Golf bags come in all styles and sizes; those who prefer walking can use either a cart or lightweight models to avoid becoming fatigued by 18th hole play.
Lightweight
A golf bag should not only hold your clubs; it should also offer plenty of pockets to store apparel, accessories, a beverage or two and valuables safely. Furthermore, its weight should be distributed evenly so it remains manageable during an 18 hole round.
TaylorMade FlexTech Lite stand bags feature lightweight construction with soft padding on straps and an efficient stand system, keeping them upright between shots. They’re more cost-effective than cart bags while providing adequate space to carry all your golf essentials around the course.
Cart bags offer more advanced designs with additional dividers and top storage to hold an entire set of golf clubs plus equipment or personal items. However, they’re generally heavier than stand bags, making long lifts difficult. Cart bags are intended for those who ride carts or push carts and usually feature pockets like golf ball storage pockets, an insulated cooler pocket or multiple other storage compartments to help organize gear efficiently.
Plenty of Storage Space
Golf bags can vary in terms of size, features and storage capacity. A high-quality bag should balance size and weight to make it easy to carry or store when not being used on the course. Your choice should depend upon whether or not you play by walking or using a cart when out playing golf.
Tour Bags (commonly referred to as Staff Bags) are designed specifically for professionals and offer more pockets and space than cart bags, though they may require the assistance of a caddie or cart for transporting them.
Stand Bags are designed specifically for walking golfers and feature dual strap systems to evenly distribute weight across both shoulders. In addition, many models include full length apparel pockets as well as individual dividers to protect clubs and shafts.
Cart Bags are designed specifically for use with carts; they feature larger storage capacities and stable bases to help prevent shifting while riding. Furthermore, individual dividers protect clubs against shifting during rides.
Water Resistant
Golfers often face unpredictable weather conditions while playing, and if caught by an unexpected rain shower it’s vital that their bag be waterproofed to protect their clothing or any wet balls or gloves that have come into contact with moisture. A waterproof bag provides the best solution.

Cart bags are specifically designed to be used with golf carts; typically featuring a non-slip rubber base to avoid being knocked off as you navigate around the course, they may also weigh more than other bags; this weight penalty is offset by their increased capacity.
Carry bags are the most widely-used type of golf bag; designed specifically to be carried around by golfers who walk their course and usually lightweight so as to lessen any strain on shoulders. When purchasing one of these, look for plenty of storage space and dividers so your clubs are kept separate.
Easy to Move Around
Golf requires an entire day’s effort and commitment, and so your bag should be as comfortable and easy to move around whether walking or riding in a cart. Most bags feature long shoulder straps to distribute weight evenly across your shoulders and reduce strain while prolonging play.
Cart bags are larger bags designed to sit atop a cart or push cart rather than being placed directly on the ground like stand or carry bags. Cart bags typically feature additional pockets and dividers than stand bags, and some even offer features like cooler pockets to keep beverages cold throughout their course visit.
There’s something to suit any type of golfer when it comes to cart and stand bags – from lightweight Sunday bags for those who prefer walking the course through to tour staff bags used by professional players, there is sure to be something suitable.
