I take it these are hatchbacks and not estates?

My PP and his better half have downsized to a Focus hatchback from a old Citroen estate. They can get 2 trolleys in the boot and the clubs on the back seat with ease.
I’d think you’d struggle to fit any trolley and bag combo into a hatchback with ease.
That’s a Fiesta with a motocaddy trolley and ping tour bag, woods on back seat.

I'm trying to avoid an SUV or estate and I realise it might be tricky, hence asking what folk have got. Doesn't have to be a hatchback. 
The basic remit is one set of clubs and one trolley in the boot of the car - i.e obscured from outside view - without having to take any clubs out and devise a krypton factor style solution to make them fit. Preferably with room for a small holdall as well!
Seats down or anything on the back seat is a non-starter.
I can do it in my Leon but only with taking the driver out and laying it across the opposite diagonal from the bag, supporting the bag so it isn't weighing on the driver shaft. That's a pain in the ass I'd ideally like to avoid and even just a few more inches along the diagonal should be sufficient space.

no prob fitting a golfstream revolution trolley (not the smallest) and a H2NO trolley bag, plus holdall and other bits and room to spare in the Ceed boot

I had a 12 plate C200 saloon Merc, and I could easily fit my electric trolley and clubs in the boot, with space for holdall’s Etc on top - all nicely hidden away.

I've got a Focus estate, or I should say that it's my wifes, but I use it for golf. I can get my cart bag, with driver in, Gokart plus battery, shoes and room for a holdall too, all in the boot under the parcel shelf out of sight.

I have 2 hondas
My 59 reg manual Civic gets the main use. To and from work (50 mile a day round trip) and any golf I play
The 18 plate hrv auto is the family car and the one the wife uses on her days off (part time)
Both have huge boots enough to fit the clubs for sure
Can’t wait for her to go away for the week so I can take the hrv to golf lol prefer driving the auto / higher driving position but she’s lost all confidence in manuals so I drive it lol
Great for little one tho she loves looking out the window on the journey when she’s awake
Plus the Civic is the bit basic now days. My phones my sat nav. Self installed dab, added parking sensors and camera
Hrv is fully loaded a joy to drive

I've got a civic, bag goes in diagonally, gokart lays on top. Room in the corners for battery bags etc.
Parcel shelf does lift a bit, guess it's just the way the gokart is.

what civic do you have spongebob? mine goes accross the front so that the bag is normal ways but the driver etc sit behind the wheel arches.. ie if you open the boot its the first thing you come to is the clubs
Hondas are all suppose to fit clubs in like this as part of their design I was told

When I was looking round for mine, that’s how I loaded the boot up in the showroom. My Mazda3 loads the same way.
Isn’t it odd how we all sing the praises of our own cars, even if they aren’t what the OP is looking for, as if to show what good judges we are.
Dont buy a Mazda3. You won’t like it, they are quite rare, and we want to keep it that way

Checked mine, it's the model with the built in subwoofer, so my bag has to go in diagonally

Ah that would be why, sub will take up some room indeed
Took the hrv down the range today for first time
Clubs fit nicely

One thing many overlook, is that many new cars dont come with a spare wheel, so freeing up boot space.
Fortunately mine takes my gear even with the spare wheel I got after buying the car
