Great Golf Gifts for Dad: A Father’s Day Gift Guide

Father’s Day is right around the corner (psst: June 20th), so let the last minute scrambling for gifts begin. Lots of dads are hard to shop for, as they’ve either taken to buying everything they want for themselves, or what they really want is something you can’t afford.

Not to worry, however, as we’ve done the hard part by asking some golf loving dads we know, mixing in a touch of internet research, and a healthy dose of course-envy to compile this list of golf gifts for every kind of golf dad.

Father’s Day Golf Gifts: The Gear

The Wingman

This is really, really cool. So cool in fact, that it might not be a great gift for the “traditionalist” golf dad. But if you’re looking for a gift for a new dad, a tech savvy dad, or a dad who can’t get enough of whatever he’s listening to at the moment, the Bushnell Golf Wingman is one heck of a gadget.

Not only does this bluetooth speaker attach magnetically to golf cart bars, it boasts a 10 hour battery life, and can charge dad’s phone. Oh yeah, and it talks. About golf. At the touch of a button on its integrated remote, the Wingman can tell your dad how far away he is from the pin, giving him an edge over the other members of his foursome, and the Tony-Stark-like joy of getting help from a talking computer.

Divot Repair Tool Set

Class up dad’s bag with this personalized divot tool and hat clip golf ball marker set. Every golfer needs these items, and dad’s probably currently using a cheap plastic version they picked up in the pro shop. But these beauties will set dad’s game apart from the rest. This set comes with a divot repair tool, magnetic hat clip and three interchangeable magnetic ball markers. These tools won’t necessarily help his handicap get any better, but he’ll definitely look more professional out on the green. Plus, every time he reaches for them, he’ll know somewhere out there is a kid who loves him, and that’ll pick him up no matter how bad a round he’s having.

The Perfect Putting Mat

If your dad is anything like mine, he’ll love a little bit of home practice, and this Perfect Practice Putting Mat will deliver. But this is not your typical chunk of astro-turf with a hole in it. The Perfect Practice mat boasts real hardwood framing and rich colors that won’t be an eyesore in any room of the house. It’s functional too, with practice aids printed on the mat to help dad with his various putting drills (and trust us, he needs help with his putting drills), and a ball return to keep him from having to constantly bend over to retrieve his putts.

Go in with a sibling and gift him the ultimate basement putting setup with this hardwood putter stand.

“You got your dad a card for Father’s Day? My sister and I built dad a putting green in his office.”

Touche kids, touche.

Desert Fox Phone Caddy

Does the golf dad in your life have a smartphone? Then the Desert Fox phone caddy is a no-brainer. With an adjustable strap that secures it to any golf cart or pull cart, the Desert Fox fits most smartphones and will keep dad’s phone in plain view for all of his range-finding and course music needs.  A cup holder is no place for such an expensive piece of technology, so make sure dad’s phone is properly secured with the Desert Fox. With the option to add a funny quote, or support one of their partner charities, this is a gift that keeps on giving. 

Father’s Day Golf Gifts: The Look

Official Masters Merchandise

If dad loves golf, he probably loves the Masters. Seeing Augusta on TV marks the first day of spring in many homes across the country, and falling asleep during the early Sunday rounds is a right of passage in almost every golf loving family.  

With our wide range of Masters apparel, gear, collectibles, and more, giving dad his own little slice of Augusta is never a bad choice.

Father’s Day Golf Gifts: The Personal Touch

Golf Club Finders

The classic gift for any father who’s been known to leave a club behind on a hole (pretty much all golfers have done this), these personalized golf club finders will help ensure the safe return of any wayward stick. These custom club finders can be engraved with his name or initials and give his sticks a custom feel. Simply pop them into the butt of the grip (there’s already a hole, we promise) and watch his surprise when he pulls them out of the bag for the first time.

Not only will these Club Finders give dad’s clubs that custom feel, with their deep engraving, and lightweight design, his name and contact info won’t wear off, and, more importantly for him, his swing won’t change.

The Hickory Mashie Club

For dads who enjoy the rich history of the game of golf, you can’t go wrong with this handsome engraved classic hickory mashie club. He’ll love telling guests all about how the mashie was used for approach and most closely resembles the modern 5-7 iron, but hasn’t been widely used since the mid 1900’s^*.

Engraved with Dad’s name, and two other lines of sentimental (or sarcastic, I don’t know your dad) text, this carbon steel mashie will look great propped up on his desk, laid across his mantle or hung up on the wall at work. With a real hickory shaft and leather grip, this artisanal piece will make the perfect gift for fathers who appreciate tradition and history.

Golf-Themed Barware for Dad

Turn your home into the 19th hole with this handsome set of custom beer mugs. With a frosted golf ball detail in the bottom, and their sturdy, all glass construction, these personalized barware beer mugs will make any beverage destination feel like a clubhouse. With the option to engrave dad’s monogram (or even just one initial), he’ll love sticking these in the freezer before a round so that by the time he gets home, they’re frosty and ready to be filled with his favorite beverage. These personalized glasses with the ball detail in the bottom are also available in a rocks glass for cocktails and a pint glass with no handle (for bigger cocktails, we’re not making rules here).

If monogramming isn’t your thing, but you still like the beverage angle, check out this unique golf ball pint glass with a real golf ball molded right into the glass itself. It defies more gravity than your last duck hook!

Featuring a curated mix of golfing tools, gifts and course essentials, this basket has something for every dad. Hand packed into a green wire basket, wrapped with a bow and topped off with a personalized gift message from you, when this shows up on his doorstep Sunday morning, he’s sure to get a smile on his face.

Golf Gifts for Dad: Collectible Golf Displays

If your dad is a collector or just a nostalgic person in general, then I guarantee he has some memorabilia in a junk drawer that he’d love to give a proper home. We’ve got an impressive collection of collectible golf displays to house everything from golf scorecards to pencils, golf balls to ball markers. If he wants to collect it and show it off, then he’s going to appreciate one of these for Father’s Day.

Does your dad have a group of people that he loves to play with? Maybe you and him take yearly trips to various courses around the world. Whatever the reason, this 6 golf ball display will act as a reminder of the bond your dad shares with the game, and with the people closest to him. 

Made in the USA out of solid hardwood, this lovely piece will hold 6 of the most important golf balls your dad has, and will feel even more special with an engraving written by you. 

In conclusion…

With the wide range of golf gifts out there, it’s hard to go wrong when buying dad some hot new tech, or a classic old piece of hardware. And while it’s still a bit hacky to say: no matter what you decide to get dad for Father’s Day, he’ll love it because it’s from you (and thank god it’s not another lousy tie).
