Golf Travel Bag

[Burnsey]

I'm after a sturdy travel bag for my trip to Oman in Jan - I am a fussy sod, but be appreciative of any options, or tips as to decent ones, or even offers you may have come across.

Thanks.

If you want one that folds down small and is easily stored in hotel rooms and at home, the Sun Mountain Kube is unbeatable. Offered enough protection when I traveled (got one on of those arm extenders too though).
If you want full on protection and don't care about bulky, then thr Big Max i-guard or the Longridge hard cases are very good.

The Kube and the Motocaddy are probably leading the way for me - I’ll check out the others, but hard cases do add weight and I’m bound to end up paying excess baggage!!

I do love my Kube. Best travel bag I've had. And the missus loves that it goes into a cupboard really easily! Win win!

Can I borrow it in Jan for a week please

Could I also ask - I’ve only 30kg plus 7kg, so hoping to get everything golf in there, leaving the hand baggage for non-golf clothing. Doable?

No.
You may struggle to get loads in it, so how many shorts, shirts, etc are you stuffing in there? And do you care if they're crushed?!

Four rounds so a top and shorts/pants for each round, one pair of shoes and toiletries. I’m sure undies and socks can slip into the nooks and crannies. I’d like to think I’d get quite a bit in the golf bag pockets - no waterproofs/brolly etc.

Oman is a bit long pants and shirts, so thought it’d be more of a struggle to get the non golf stuff in 7kg hand baggage to be honest.

Happy to iron stuff once settled in.

If your carry bag can take the tops and shorts (although 4 shorts is excessive for me!), the pants and socks will stuff in the golf shoes, the toiletries need to go in a plastic bag in case of leaks, but you'll get that in the Kube no bother. Some stuff can pad out the top of the bag, along with a couple of golf towels maybe but they'd need laundered when you get there.

It’s a pro am so need to look the part and has to be an outfit a day!

I think it’ll be a case of utilising the golf bag apparel bag pockets as much as possible and packing well.

Thanks for all the advice!

Got the macgreggor XL from hotgolf and love it. Recent stag do to Portugal it took 4 sets of golf gear, 4 sets of evening close + toiletries etc with easy. Plenty of padding and folds down very small.

I’d love a hard shell case but with one trip a year abroad, it doesn’t warrant the investment.

Thanks for this - with the tight carry on baggage allowance, I'm going to have to use a case which I can get basically everything for the week in, so with the low weight, worth a look.

The only thing with hard shell cases is they don’t fit in some hire cars.
