Here Are The Best Golf Shoe Bags In 2023″

With so many great options, you won’t want to miss the details to comfortably transport your shoes.

By the end of this post, you will know what shoe size these bags cater to, how spacious they are, and whether they prevent moisture build-up and nasty odors. In addition, you will learn which golf shoe bag is best for your trunk and the top pick for ladies.

Golfspan only shares equipment and brands we trust.

I’m an experienced golfer of 28 years and thoroughly researched and evaluated the products shared below. Then an editor reviewed and fact-checked the list. Finally, we conduct regular content audits to update and revise our reviews to ensure you receive the latest information.

To select these shoe bags, we considered these criteria:

The Athletico Zippered Carry golf shoe bag won me over this year for its space, affordability, convenient carry handle, and its array of color options. Plus, it allowed sufficient air inside to prevent my shoes from stinking up the bag.

Athletico set the bag depth to 5.5 inches, enough to fit my size 11 shoes, an extra folded polo, and a pair of slacks. According to the manufacturer, the bag can only hold shoes sized 14 US and lower.

Next, I found the 600D Polyester material durable to avoid ripping, which should hold firm for many years. Durability aside, I also appreciated the additional pockets allowing me to store tees and house keys during my round.

In addition, Athletico’s built-in enhanced ventilation to keep air circling and rancid odors outside the bag. My only gripe is the lack of a divider to keep my shoes separated in transit and avoid scuffing my kicks.

Lastly, the easy-to-carry shoe bag is available in multiple colors. In my experience, most manufacturers stick to a single classic color, but not Athletico. They craft the Zippered Carry Bag in two distinct shades of black, gray, and pink finish to cater to male and female golfers.

The Champkey would likely have claimed the prize for the best away game shoe bag if it were not for its rock-bottom price tag. However, it is half the price of most bags on the list, and punches above its weight, offering superior storage, mesh ventilation, and a comfortable carry handle.

My experience with this soft padded bag proved the effectiveness of mesh in generating breathability. The constant airflow managed to keep the interior of the bag odor free and ready for use.

Although it typically sits in my closet or the trunk of my car, I learned of its impressive waterproofing by chance. I played a municipal course with no change rooms and had to carry it with me during the round. As luck would have it, I got caught in a brief rainstorm, and the material stood its ground, keeping my casual shoes dry.

I relished the spacious design of the Champkey Soft Padded bag because I could fit more than in most bags. I comfortably packed extra gloves, tees, towels, shirts, and pants owing to their mesh pockets.

Finally, the incredibly affordable shoe bag is only available in black, but it does well to conceal mud and debris. However, you can easily wipe it off with a damp towel.

The CaddyDaddy Premium shoe bag is the top away game shoe bag thanks to 3 additional pockets to store necessary accessories. Besides the extras, the bag produced ample ventilation, separated my shoes, and felt light in hand.

One large front pocket is accompanied by 2 smaller side compartments, offering sufficient space to house tees, my phone, wallet, house keys, and socks. I found the interior of the shoe section was marginally shallower than other bags. However, I could still fit a fresh pair of socks inside.

I appreciated the presence of the divider, which kept my shoes separated in transit and prevented scratches or scuffs on the footwear. My experience with the CaddyDaddy Premium Shoe Bag extends 3 months. So far, it is proving durable on the outside and protective on the inside.

Next, the Dual Mesh insert proved its worth by promoting consistent airflow for optimal breathability and odor reduction. Finally, the carry handle was well-padded and a pleasure to hold.

The Callaway Clubhouse Collection delivered the best ventilation of our contestants in 2023, limiting moisture build-up and foul odors. In addition, it sports a comfortable handle and can comfortably hold size 14 shoes.

Its standout feature is the Dual Side Vents on the bottom of the bag. They maximized airflow through the bag and helped wick moisture away from the interior. This proved especially helpful after rounds in the wet, when the vents allowed water to drain out, leaving the shoes to dry.

In addition, the enhanced ventilation cleared the bag of foul odors, keeping my footwear and the bags interior fresh. Next, I found the padded handle soft and cushioned to hold while lugging it from my apartment to the car.

Callaway offers the Clubhouse Collection shoe bag in one color, which looks classy and does not easily reveal dirt. Finally, I found its easy glide zipper a pleasure to deal with, and it shows no sign of buckling.

The Puma Black Camo shoe bag offered my golf shoes the best protection in 2023, thanks to its internal shoe divider. It kept my golf and casual shoes apart, lowering the risk of one shoe scratching the other while carrying them.

Aside from protecting my shoes, I found its padded carry strap comfortable and easy to hold. The ergonomic handle and its lightweight design resulted in a pleasant hold. Moreover, I even attached it to my golf bag while walking the course.

Next, the metal eyes enabled an element of ventilation. However, they were too petite to compete with the performance of the Callaway Clubhouse Collection. I felt they struggled to air out the stench of my shoes after 18 holes as efficiently as other bags I tested.

Puma attempted to spice up the look with a black camo design, with camouflage appearing at the top and plain black material donning the bottom. Finally, the two-way zip Puma Black Camo shoe bag fits shoes as large as a 14 US size.

If you leave your golf kit strewn around your car trunk or house, a shoe bag for your car trunk will bring stability and order to your life. The Murray Sporting Goods shoe bag is our top pick for 2023 for its storage space, durability, and ventilation.

Besides its 15” x 11” design which fits golf shoes as long as a size 14, the Murray Sporting Goods bag features spacious side pockets. They managed to cater to my tees, golf balls, and markers. When my golf bag is low on balls, I dip into the bag in my trunk and top up my collection.

The bag’s interior held my shoes without trouble, and the soft top allowed me to add a polo shirt and a flattened cap. However, golfers with size 14 boats may not enjoy the same room I was afforded.

Murray Sporting Goods equipped the shoe bag with advanced internal ventilation to boost breathability. Like its peers, the wire mesh lets air flow inside freely, leaving undesirable odors no opportunity to build up.

Finally, the 600d polyester shoe bag contains a neatly cushioned handle to carry, should you need to remove it from your trunk.

The Titleist tote shoe bag bags the prize for the most durable shoe bag in 2023, thanks to its robust polyurethane material and solid plastic feet. It is not a shoe bag in the traditional sense, as it is built for multiple purposes, but it fits size 13 shoes and below.

In addition to using it to carry your golf shoes, the Shag Bag is deep enough to hold 100 golf balls, which is perfect for practicing. Plus, it sports a premium design and finish that tour players and discerning golfers would appreciate. The only way it could have looked classier was if it was a full leather golf shoe bag.

The front of the bag rocks the famed Titleist logo and is superbly padded to protect the contents of your bag while traveling. I also felt the durable, plastic feet were handy for keeping my bag upright, especially during practice when they were filled with golf balls.

Aside from its premium looks and highly durable structure, the Titleist Shag bag proved pleasant to lug from point A to B. This was made possible by its padded polyurethane handles, which were comfy and a breeze to grip.

The navy/pink FootJoy golf shoe bags offer ladies the best companion to carry their footwear to and from the course. They feature a neat and attractive navy and pink combination, ample ventilation, and extra space to store your accessories.

FootJoy employed a two-way zipper design to give you easy access to the shoe compartment and keep your footwear secure while in transit. However, I would have liked to see a divider to stop the shoes from colliding while carrying them.

One point my wife made is that there was limited extra space in the main compartment to keep a change of clothing for after the round. However, that is nice to have rather than a necessity. Additionally, the golf shoe bag sports a front zipper pocket to store extras like tees, markers, and house keys.

In addition, the design team employed a standard handle with slight padding to promote a comfortable hold. Finally, the FootJoy Women’s Golf Shoe Bag generated outstanding ventilation, thanks to the expansive side mesh. It protected my shoes exposed to the elements for a fresh-smelling bag and kicks.

While I do not care much for the uninspiring name, the Izzo #90592, this golf shoe bag impressed me with its water resistance and moisture-wicking qualities. Performance aside, I appreciated the compact and efficient extra pocket space to store my cleats and tees.

Izzo managed to keep my shoes dry in rainy conditions due to its water-resistant lining on the interior of the bag. In addition, the fitted mesh to the bottom sides of the bag ensures constant air circulation around your shoes to keep out unplayable odors and to remain dry for the next round.

A padded carry handle is attached to the top of the #90592, simplifying carrying my shoes from the trunk to the locker room. I also find the zip operates as intended, keeping my golf footwear covered and protected.

One aspect I wish they had added was a divider to segregate each shoe to prevent scuffing, but that is me nitpicking. Finally, Izzo claims the #90592 can hold shoes as long as a US 14, and judging by the space left over from my size 11 boats, I agree with their assertion.

Lastly, the durable material on the Ogio SAC Black bag prevents the cleats from ripping to shreds, boosting their longevity.
