The Ping Hoofer Lite Stand Golf Bag is moderately priced but offers a solid array of features that should work for most golfers, although weighing in at just under 5 pounds, it’s really aimed squarely at walkers. The Hoofer features a wide leg stand for rock-solid stability, and you can choose whether you’d like to carry this bag with single or dual shoulder straps.

It’s not limited to being a walking bag, though. The Ping Hoofer can also sit comfortably in a cart or a pull-cart thanks to its cart strap channel which helps it stay securely in place while riding. With seven storage pockets, this bag has separate compartments for valuables, a full-size bottle, a rangefinder and more. The Hoofer is water resistant and comes with an attached rain hood.

For a lot of people, the most appealing part of the game is getting to play outdoors, fully immersed in the elements. Unfortunately, that means walking the links in the rain is occasionally unavoidable. Having a soggy scorecard to turn in at the end of the round is never a good feeling, making waterproof bags essential for both competitive and leisurely play.

The antidote to a rainy day is Titleist’s StaDry bag, which features a robust waterproof construction with seam-sealed zippers to keep your pockets dry. It comes with a 4-way divider for clubs and 7 pockets for balls, apparel, a rangefinder, water bottle and more. This lightweight bag clocks in at just under 4 pounds, making it a great walking bag. And that’s despite having high-grade aluminum legs and a clever hinged bottom for improved stability from the tee to the green.

If you’re looking for a stylish and functional walking bag, the Stitch SL2 Solid Golf Bag checks every box. The SL2 rings in at a higher price point, but we think it’s worth the cost given how complete this bag is despite its compact and sleek design.

Stitch’s Touring Fabric has the strength of leather, but is softer to the touch, lightweight and more durable. The bag features a 4-way top, as well as an array of zippered side pockets for copious amounts of storage and an attachable rain hood. Need some customization? You can get a personalized ingot for your initials (if you don’t customize it, the ingot comes blank).

The Sunday Golf Loma Stand Bag is for the golfer who likes to play par-3 courses or only needs a few clubs to beat the course record (or, more likely, for a beginner with just a few clubs). This stand bag is pretty diminutive, but don’t let its size fool you—it’s small and lightweight at just two pounds, yet sturdy and features impressive amounts of storage despite the lack of real estate.

The two-way top can comfortably hold 6 to 7 clubs, and it also has a velor-lined valuables pocket, waterproof zippers and an insulated pocket for your favorite beverages. Moving it around is also a breeze thanks to a carrying handle and removable strap.
