Golf stand bags are designed to be lightweight and easy to carry, but what are the best golf stand bags on the market? We’ve picked out our favourites.

There are many different types of golf bags available, but for those who prefer to walk the course, stand bags are the way to go. They are ideal for golfers who prefer to walk rather than use a cart.

Stand bags typically have two retractable legs that allow the bag to stand upright on the course, which makes it easy to access your clubs without having to lay the bag on the ground.

Stand bags also have a comfortable strap system that distributes the weight of the bag evenly across your shoulders and back.

We spent hours testing the best stand golf bags to help you find the perfect bag for your needs. Here’s our top picks for the best stand golf bags.

OGIO WOODE Hybrid Stand Bag

The OGIO WOODE bag is both functional and stylish, offering more than just a stand bag as the hybrid name might suggest.

It can also double up as a very impressive cart bag, although that double use makes this option a little heavier to carry that others in this shortlist.

The Contour Carry system with improved shoulder straps and hip pad design makes the latest model incredibly comfortable to carry around the course.

The OGIO features an 8-way top organisation divider system that makes it easy to find the club you’re looking for as well as nine separate external pockets for as much storage as you are willing to carry.

Sun Mountain 14-Way Stand Bag

The Sun Mountain stand bag is a rarity as it one of the few carry bags to come with a 14-way divider design.

The 14 individual club dividers are normally reserved for cart or trolley bags, but they help keep clubs organised and allow easy access in this recommended stand bag.

Additionally, the E-Z Lite Dual Strap System makes the bag easy to carry and the lumbar support Air Flow hip pad provides extra comfort while walking the course.

The bag is slightly heavier than some other stand bags on the market and the pockets are not as spacious as others, but the 14-way divider is the big attraction in this bag.

Callaway Hyper Dry 14 Stand Bag

The Callaway Hyper Dry bag has been designed to withstand all elements of playing golf in the winter – not something all stand bags can claim to be.

It comes with a fully waterproof promise of being the ultimate carry bag when it comes to playing in the rain and is 50% more waterproof than previous models.

At just 1.9kg, Callaway have made the Hyper Dry Stand Bag as light as possible too, so you won’t feel under strain if carrying in warmer months too.

The bag comes with a double strap which counter balances, but can be purchased with a single strap should you prefer that design. There is also a new look for the grab handle too.

Callaway have introduced a 14-way divider structure for clubs with full length dividers, while there are five fully sealed pockets of differing sizes – all of which are waterproof.

Callaway Par 3 Stand Bag

The big design feature of the Callaway Par 3 Bag is the ultralight weight, with the durable fabric both tough and rugged, but at the same time helps make this stand bag one of the lightest out there.

Despite this being a minimalist bag in all aspect, the sprung legs are sturdy in all conditions whether left by the side of a tee box, on the fairway or on the edge of the green.

The bag has an ultra-compact top with a 3-way divider for clubs, features four separate pockets including a velour lined one for valuables and two straps which can be converted to one if you prefer to carry via a single strap.

OGIO Fuse Stand Bag

OGIO go one step further than others with their design of the Fuse stand bag. That’s because it has a 15-way silencer top to not only separate clubs but also keep the quiet too.

The SLED base with Silencer capture system provides a sturdy foundation for the bag and keeps it upright on any surface or in any wind.

The straps system may be difficult to adjust, but once you get them set you have a perfect option that excels when it comes to storing the clubs.
