Father’s Day Golf Gifts 2023
Father's Day is just around the corner (June 18, to be exact), and if you're struggling to find the perfect gift for your golf-loving dad, we’ve got you covered with an assortment of the best Father's Day golf gifts. Dads are notoriously difficult to shop for, but whether he's a seasoned pro or just starting to swing his clubs, a golf gift celebrates his love for the sport and shows that you appreciate his interests. From personalized golf balls to high-quality golf accessories, there's a wide range of options available that are sure to make Dad's day on the green even more enjoyable.
Set dad up with a golf gift (or two) to make this Father's Day a special one.
It's worth noting that Dad doesn't have to qualify for the Tour to receive a topnotch golf gift. Maybe he prefers to lose track of time at the driving range or cap off a long day at work with an episode of the Full Swing docuseries on Netflix. No matter how he decides to connect with the game, we’ve rounded up a vast selection of the Father's Day golf gifts, which means there's something on this list just for him. And if you need additional insights, be sure to peruse our other in-depth roundups that cover essential equipment, from rangefinders to drivers to push carts and beyond.

Under normal circumstances, a timepiece as handsome as the Garmin Approach S62 should help Dad keep track of time. But because this watch comes equipped with bells and whistles designed exclusively for golf (including a virtual caddie, hazard maps and over 41,000 preloaded courses), there's a good chance he’ll get lost in the stats and insights. While it may not punch him a ticket to the PGA Tour, it’ll certainly help him keep track of his progress in ways he hasn't before.

Technically speaking, Dad can play a round of golf with nothing more than a set of clubs, but if he really wants to lower his score, he’ll need a rangefinder to accurately measure distances to greens, hazards and other features on the course. This model from Pinned won us over for its water-resistant housing and rechargeable battery, and the fact that it comes in a dizzying array of colors doesn't hurt either.
Amazon
Personalize a set of golf balls with his name, a heartfelt message or even his place of work so he can write them off as a company expense. They may not make Dad a better golfer, but they’ll help him stand out if he happens to shank a shot or two.

There may be no golf gift more done to death than the portable putting green, but this list wouldn't be complete without one. Whether Dad sets up this three-hole green in the home office, garage or bedroom, there's a good chance he’ll use it more than he likes to admit. If nothing else, it won't hurt his putting skills.
Amazon
Whether Dad travels for work or play, he’ll have a good excuse to bring his clubs along when you set him up with this soft-sided golf travel bag. Built with heavy-duty polyester fabric, multiple carrying handles and a set of wheels, it's designed to withstand the pitfalls of travel whether he's catching a train down the coast or a flight across the pond.
Amazon
Finally, Dad can swing to his favorite songs when you gift him Bushnell's Wingman GPS Speaker. Featuring exceptional sound quality and a rechargeable battery with 10 hours of juice, the speaker uses strong magnets to secure onto the frame of a golf cart, so his favorite albums, artists and podcasts are always within earshot. And because the speaker is built with GPS and over 36,000 pre-loaded courses, it will even dispense audible GPS-based distances to holes and hazards.
GolfDigest.com
If Dad is more of a bibliophile, hook him up with a subscription to Golf Digest for only $40. The publication has been covering the world of golf for over 70 years, and a one-time payment sets him up with a year's worth of content (11 issues in total). Just don't forget to cancel the subscription once you’ve paid the fee, unless you don't mind giving him the gift of Golf Digest every year.
Amazon
A set of resistance bands will allow Dad to stretch before and after every round, ensuring his muscles, ligaments and tendons can keep up with his pace of play. This set of five bands from Sunpow allows him to use each band individually, or he can combine them to create even more resistance.
Amazon
Convince Dad to leave the golf cart behind by setting him up with the Sun Mountain Golf Cart V1R. It's lightweight at only 16 pounds and easy to push thanks to large rubberized wheels that can handle everything from pathways to putting greens. And if Dad really wants to take a load off, he can even hook the cart up with a seat (sold separately).
Amazon
If Dad is playing without a pair of designated golf gloves, give him the gift of reliable grip courtesy of Callaway's OptiColor Gloves. The premium leather construction pairs with perforations on the palm, fingers and thumb to increase breathability and reduce moisture, which lets him swing in total comfort.
Amazon
Maybe Dad loves playing in the summer sun, in which case he’ll need a set of shades to reduce glare, identify features and track the ball once it's in flight. Callaway's Kite Polarized Sunglasses provide 100% protection against harmful UVA, UVB and UVC rays, and the sporty fit ensures they stay put through every swing. The total package also includes a cleaning cloth and a hard-shell carrying case, so he can stow these in his golf bag when they’re not on his face.
Amazon
When Dad installs the Garmin Approach CT10 sensors on his clubs, he’ll have the ability to track every single stroke based on speed, distance, location and more. The three-pack of sensors often goes on sale, and if you set him up with the aforementioned Garmin Approach S62 smartwatch, he can pair the sensors with the watch for automatic in-game tracking.
