Do your clubs fit in your car boot?

[Crow]

Just got a Skoda Fabia, first trial today.
The bag went in with the woods out and umbrella detached then laid on top of the bag, trolley also fitted, so not too bad for a small car.

Peugeot 308 Hatch and the driver and 3 wood have to be taken out of the bag.

Previously had 308SW (estate) and they fitted in easily.

Volvo XC40, full carry bag either diagonally or horizontally at the very back of the boot or woods out if I want to tuck it behind the rear seats. Not tried Tour bag, I’m guessing not as the thing is massive and I can’t be arsed with it!

2 years ago...had a Polo. Nice car. Bending over was an issue, and getting golf clubs in an issue. Research done.....ended up with a Suzuki Vitara. Smallest suv style vehicle I could get the clubs in sideways in the back. Went back to an automatic....just a car, I could care less about macho shifting manhood etc etc etc. I love this car.

I've a 5 Series estate and easily fit 2 sets with trolleys but have to take the woods out or one back seat down.
1 set will fit fine.

I miss my XC90 for boot space.

I’ve a 2 series beemer, everything goes in just fine.

 

[Mandofred]

Peoples definitions of "just fine" seem to be different than mine. Getting the clubs in....somehow....is not just fine (but it is for them).

Seat Leon ST. Get a tour bag & a ClicGear in no problem, two of us the clubs are in the boot but one trolley is on the back seat. Only regret about not getting the Octavia is that the boot size could be better on the Leon, but it's good enough 95% of the time and the Leon had the better interior & was the better driver's car on the budget.

My mates don't. Well all but the driver, which he left at the side of his car after playing as her loaded up the boot and forgot to put it in the back of his car and drove off. No it hasn't been handed in as yet.

Great start to his season.......poor show by the members and guests. I hope it does get handed in.

Newest shape insignia is a golfers dream for storage, easy get 4 bags in there if you take the woods out.

Just bought one for this very reason, it’s absolutely massive! Need it for when I take the clubs to work in order to play a few holes afterwards.

I think some car makers/designers are really missing out by not making their boot INSIDE dimensions 2 or 3 inches wider.

Volvo V90 - no problem

I was thinking about this. Back in the 90s I had 2 hatchbacks - would've been escort/astra size back then. Both took the bag, including driver straight across the boot no messing. As mentioned on the mondeo thread, each new model is larger than the previous. So probably equivalent to fiesta/corsa now. Cars seem to have a far bigger footprint now, but less useful space (from a golfers pov).

Anyway, to the OP - Peugeot 508 SW, bag +incl driver goes at an angle, plus the powerkaddy.

Aren't drivers about 3 inches longer nowadays though? I agree about the less space in a bigger footprint though.

I've a vw golf as well, I can get 3 bags in comfortably without woods or driver in, and then have to squeeze them across and into the little cubby holes around the wheel arches.

I'm fortunate enough to live a 10 minute walk from my club where everything fits into my locker, albeit with the same degree of difficulty as completing a Rubik cube. If I did need to transport them I can fit it all very comfortably into the boot of my Mazda 6, although in the previous model the hatchback was huge and could easily fit a couple of sets and trolleys.

The daddy of them all however is my mates Renault Espace 7 seater. When he's not using it to transport his cement mixer it is used for our annual golfing trip. It can comfortably accommodate four adults, their golf bags, trolleys and overnight bags. It has a bit of poke as well.

Just got a new Polo but driver is to long .
Everything else fits but the driver is to long.

By how much , ! ,2 or 3 inches ?

Current car is a SEAT Leon, I struggle to fit my clubs in the boot in the bag, I can manage it if I remove the woods and hybrids from the bag and lie them separately. I've enough room for my push trolley and shoes etc but usually my boot also has walking boots and other crap in it that I have to put behind the seats or on the back seats.

Would love a car or SUV with a bigger boot so it could all just "fit" - a SEAT Ateca will be on my shopping list, but probably not until next year when the mortgage is paid off (in 6 months time)

Just wondered what cars you all drive and how you find it fitting your golfing gear in the boot so it's out of sight.

My Mondeo easily accommodates my bag, electric trolley and anything else I have with me. The reason I drive one is how suitable it is as a golf mobeel.

What you need is a Fabia *estate*. Easily takes trolley and bag without removing driver. With a bit of planning, will take two electric trolleys and two cart bags, although you do need to remove the driver from the second bag.

3 wood goes in just.
So driver is about 2” to long.
Not a problem as I just put it in the back seat footwell.
My practice sticks were to long as well but I will shorten them.
I did check it out so it wasn’t a shock.
