Best Father’s Day Golf Gifts for 2024 – Get Dad Something He’ll Actually Use!
Father’s Day is right around the corner, and with the heart of the golf season in full swing, it’s the perfect time to invest in some new golf gear and equipment for Dad. Whether he’s looking to find his form the next time he hits the course with a shining new club, or you just want to give his game a little boost, now’s your chance.
Hopefully you’ve set aside some funds for the moment you present him with the perfect golf gift that cements your status as the favorite child. It’s worth noting that according to the experts at B&B, new technology in golf equipment can make a significant difference roughly every 5-6 years, so don’t forget to take a peek in his current bag to decipher what he may need/want the most.

EQUIPMENT
Drivers, Woods, Hybrids
Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max Driver
Father’s Day is the perfect occasion to surprise your Dad with the latest in golf technology, especially if he’s passionate about improving his game. Demo Day at the PGA Show this past January is where many golf enthusiasts flock to see the latest in golf equipment. | $599.99 USD
Callaway Paradym Ai Smoke Max Fairway Wood
We’re especially high on the hottest model from Callaway—the Paradym Ai. This driver is engineered to enhance playability across the entire face of the club, not just at the center. By harnessing real player data and advanced machine learning, Callaway has created a driver that offers a series of optimized impact points, making every shot your Dad takes feel like a perfect hit. | $349.99 USD
Cobra Darkspeed LS Fairway Wood
Another standout model we tested earlier this year was Cobra’s Darkspeed model. This also boasts an A.I.-designed “H.O.T.” Face that gives golfers more efficient speed and spend across the clubface. A multi-material construction blends a lightweight 8-1-1 Titanium body and face, and a carbon crown to improve weight distribution for more distance. Even if Dad is married to his Callaway driver, this model will bring extra excitement. | $429.99 USD
Cobra Darkspeed Custom Hybrid
At some point, Dad will need a hybrid whether off the tee, in the fairway, maybe even around the green, too. If it’s not already, a new hybrid may quickly become the go-to club in his bag. Both these brands have a wide range of options – 3H-6H for Ai Smoke and 2H to 6H for Darkspeed. See what he already has and buy accordingly. | $279.99 USD
Irons
TaylorMade P770 23 Custom Irons
Stock irons straight from the shelf can only take the player so far in their ever-evolving golfing journey, and oh what a difference custom irons make to your scoring ability. Brand loyalty is absolutely a thing, but unless your dad is getting paid, TaylorMade’s P770s deserve a spot in any golfer’s bag and should be a nice upgrade to what he’s currently hitting.
The forged hollow body construction gives golfers the best of both worlds – style and performance. TaylorMade designed this set to provide players with improved launch and playability in long irons and increase spin in the scoring irons. This probably would be his biggest golf equipment investment over the next few years so go all out for him and reap the rewards later. | Price in cart.
Putters
Scotty Cameron 2024 Super Select Squareback 2 Counter Balance Putter
Shaving shots off a full 18-holes starts on the green so consider his putter the most important club in the bag. First question – is he a mallet man or a blade guy? A Scotty Cameron putter is enough to make any dad’s heart flutter.
Without getting too poetic, SC’s Squareback 2 model is meticulously designed with solid milled face and integrated with a 6061 aluminum sole plate, enhancing its stability and feel. This putter is not just a tool but a game-changer, perfect for a dad looking to improve his short game with a blend of innovation and craftsmanship. | $499.99 USD
Golf Bags
Sporting a golf bag from the same brand as your clubs is a thing of the past. Not uncommon that a person will use the same golf bag for a decade so this might be a product your dad could really use. Many golfers (and especially dads) prefer walking to riding in a cart, so a lightweight, functional golf bag is an important aspect.
Callaway’s 2021 X-Series Stand Bag weighs just 4.9 lbs and comes with all the bells and whistles – from an insulated drink pocket to velour lined storage including a large apparel pocket and durable ripstop fabric to make sure it lasts through the next decade. | Orig. $209.99 Now $199.99 USD
Player Preferred™ Golf Bag – Domino
Coming in at just under 6.6 lbs., the Pins & Aces Player Preferred™ bag might be our favorite. It features a magnetic rangefinder pocket, and comfortably fits all 14 clubs plus a Beer Sleeve or LiquorStick. With an extra large insulated water bottle pocket, it fits even the biggest water bottles up to 40oz. We just might have to buy one for Dad, and one for ourselves! | $299.95 USD
Code: B&B15 will get you 15% OFF
Wedges
Titleist Vokey Design SM10 Wedge
Dad’s notice little things like when the AC is changed to too low of a temperature, but one thing he might not notice before the golf season starts is the wear and tear on his wedges. If you see him practicing chipping around the house or yard, chances are the grind has become quite low.
Although golfers might prefer to buy a three-set wedge combo for consistency, anyone will be ecstatic with a fresh 52-60 degree wedge. And it’s true, nothing will do more to improve his game from 100-yards in like a fresh set of grooves. The SM10 is Vokey’s most advanced design to date, played by the best wedge players in the world, so why shouldn’t your Dad have the same? | Price in cart.
Golf Balls
Callaway 2024 Chrome Tour Golf Balls
Perhaps the universal go-to gift for Father’s Day for all golfing Dads, gifting a box of balls is 100% guaranteed to bring a smile to his face. As golfers age (and get to play more), they start losing less and less golf balls per round – though it becomes a bit harder and hard for the old bird to track that little round shape off in the distance.
Even so, this present could potentially last for the rest of this year’s golf season. And these yellow Callaway Chrome Tour balls are not just for hitting over water hazards. With a hyperfast soft core, seamless tour aerodynamics, and its yellow urethane soft cover, he’ll be able to track it down a little faster since these are proven to be easier for aging eyes to see. | $54.99 USD
Bridgestone 2024 Tour B X Mindset Golf Balls
If you know your dad hates colored balls, opt for this new “Mindset” model from Bridgestone Golf. Designed with Tiger Woods and Jason Day, this is the first ball scientifically designed to help you separate analytical thoughts from athletic performance. When you give the gift, just make sure to remember three key words – Focus, Visualize, Identify – and he’ll know you didn’t just scoop up a box of balls but put some serious thought into his present. | $49.99 USD
Complete Sets
Robin Golf Essentials 9-Piece Complete Set
Warning: unless your dad has never stepped foot onto a golf course and suddenly expressed interest about getting into sport by saying something like, “I really need a set of clubs so I can start playing with my friends,” don’t pull the trigger on a complete set.
Curating your very own set of clubs is a right of passage after truly catching the golf bug. BUT, in certain circumstances, gifting a complete set might just be the golden ticket to his happiness.
Golf Galaxy has plenty of terrific options to get him started like Callaway’s XR 13-piece set, Cobra’s AIR-X 12-piece set or TaylorMade’s RBZ SpeedLite 11-piece set. Those range from $1200-1500. You don’t have to opt for one of golf equipment’s “Big Boys” though. We’re high on Robin’s Essentials set to get him started for under $900 and comes with a nice leather bag, too. | $899 USD
Apparel
Golf Shoes
X Tour Proto RS
This performance-based golf footwear brand exploded onto the scene just a few years ago and quickly established themselves as a leader in the most important areas golfers need in their footwear – comfort, traction and waterproofing. Their newest spiked model, the X TOUR Proto is embedded with a nitrogen-infused footbed, a waterproof breathable membrane, and a carbon propulsion plate, allowing golfers to better harness ground reaction forces to bring more speed and power to the ball. It uses the award-winning Tour Flex Pro spike that has three degrees of traction and ten points of contact for on-course proven grip. What more could a Dad’s feet ask for? | $220 USD
TRUE ALL DAY KNIT 3
Dad’s love versatility in their shoes and TRUE Linkswear has become a leader on and off the course. And if you know he’s more of a spikeless golf shoe guy, The All Day Knit 3’s lightweight nature, all-day comfort, sock-fit feel and breathable nature will make these your Dad’s go to shoes, especially during the dog days of summer golf, or simply everyday life. | $169 USD
Men’s Golf Polos
LINKSOUL MONTEREY MICROSTRIPE PERFORMANCE POLO
Sure, Dad might already have a closet full of polos, but how many does he actually wear regularly? Many are probably worn out or just not quite right anymore, and those souvenir polos from various golf courses might not be his go-to for everyday wear. This is where LINKSOUL comes in, offering a refresh for his wardrobe that he didn’t even know he needed.
With a wide selection ranging from stylish polos to versatile quarter-zips, comfortable shorts, pants, casual short sleeve button-downs, and cozy hoodies, LINKSOUL provides high-quality, fashionable options perfect for any occasion.
If you choose a polo from LINKSOUL as a Father’s Day gift, don’t be surprised if it quickly becomes his favorite, especially on the golf course. Their blend of comfort and classic style makes LINKSOUL’s pieces a surefire hit for any dad looking to upgrade his wardrobe. We love them too! | $104 USD
Hats, Belts, & More
TravisMathew Men’s Celebrate Us Fitted Golf Hat
Choosing the right hat is an art form, but luckily for you, there’s really no bad choice here. You have to consider you dads age especially here. Narrowing it down to his generation should be a safe bet. There certainly are no shortage of options in store at Golf Galaxy and online – from classic “definitely for dad” hats by Titleist and Nike to styles and designs that will make him part of the cool crowd at the driving range by Travis Mathew, Good Good, and Bad Birdies. You can always opt for a cool bucket hat too. Here are a few of our favorites. TravisMathew Men’s Celebrate Us Fitted Golf Hat | $34.95 USD
Good Good Golf Men’s Course Ready Rope Golf Hat
We love a good vintage rope hat! This one is soft, light, and breathable and looks good with any outfit Dad throws together. | $34.99 USD
Titleist Men’s Breezer Bucket Golf Hat
For the Dad who wants to stay cool and protect his skin out on the course, you can’t beat a bucket hat. This one is at the top of our list with its 50+ UPF breathable, moisture-wicking fabric and sewn-in sweatband. It’s a one size fits all and has an adjustable closure for max comfort and fit. | $45 USD
If your dad was born between 1975-1995, he grew up in the era of Tiger domination and likely still pulls for Big Cat every chance he gets. We have mixed emotions about his Tiger’s new line – Sun Day Red – but it’s worth taking a peak at their offerings to see if there is anything that really says, “My dad will love this!”
And enough of your watching your dad struggle to fit his thick leather Carhart belt into the loops of his golf shorts/pants. If you are completely out of ideas, a belt is a surefire gift that he will most definitely use. Golf Galaxy has plenty of belt styles and colors to choose from. But be wary of the enticing reversible option. In our experience, they just don’t last that long before the glue wears off.
We hope our Best Father’s Day Golf Gifts of 2024 list helps you find the perfect golf gift for dad this father’s day (and maybe a little something for yourself, too!) Surprise Dad with a tee time, a new set of clubs, and a day he won’t forget!
