8 Best Lightweight Golf Bags For Golf Players

Just like in life, sometimes in golf, less is more. 

You have a choice on how you play the game. You can go with an expensive, heavy golf bag and be forced to rent a cart every time you play, or you select a lightweight golf bag and walk the course as the architect intended. 

Do you think the first golfers in Scotland in the 15th century rented a cart?

Get some exercise while you play. We’ve highlighted some of our favorite lightweight golf bags below that’ll allow you to enjoy the game and walk the course. Life is full of burdens—your golf bag doesn’t need to be one. Sure, golf scooters are available, and the best one recommended is from Big Horn Golfer but getting a lightweight golf bag would also be a great decision.

Walk the fairways, don’t ride the golf paths.

Callaway 2021 Hyperlite Double Strap Stand Bag

If you’re an avid golfer, you know that Callaway is a premium golf brand. You’ll pay more, but they’ve been making high-quality golf products for decades. The Hyperlite double strap stand bag weighs 3 pounds, has a 4-way top to help organize your clubs, and has 7 pockets for storage. Plenty of room for your rain jacket if there’s a shower in the forecast.

Loma XL By Sunday Golf

As you probably noticed, this product looks similar to #1 on our list. This lightweight golf bag gives you everything we love about the Loma, plus a little more! 

The Loma XL by Sunday Golf weighs 3 pounds, holds up to 8 golf clubs, and has a 3-way top to help you better organize your sticks. It has all of the features you love about the Loma (frosty pocket, valuables pocket, etc.) and includes a comfortable double-shoulder strap.

Maxfli 2021 Air Stand Golf Bag

Maxfli is known for golf products that anyone can afford – you may not see their equipment on the PGA Tour, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t right for you. The Air Stand golf bag is extremely lightweight (weighs 2.5 pounds) and provides you with the basic features you need to enjoy a round of golf. This lightweight golf bag has a 4-way top, 4 pockets for storage and a double shoulder strap for easy transport.

You have limited color choices, but the primary selling point for this Maxfli bag is the price. You can find it for $89.99. 

Titleist 2022 Players 4 Carbon Stand Bag

What’s the most famous golf brand? Callaway, TaylorMade, and PING might all make a claim, but from our perspective, it’s Titleist. You can’t turn on a broadcast of a professional golf tournament without seeing Titleist balls, clubs, and golf bags. The Players 4 Carbon stand bag has a simple design that includes a 4-way top, 5 pockets, and a double shoulder strap. 

This lightweight golf bag weighs less than 3 pounds, has a mesh beverage pocket, and a rain hood. You’ll have your choice of 4 different color combinations for $270. 

Sun Mountain 2022 Stand Bag

Sun Mountain offers a few other products, but their “bread and butter” is making golf bags. Their stand bag is an option you should consider. It weighs less than 3 pounds, has a 4-way top to organize your clubs, and has 6 pockets to store your gear. 

Sun Mountain has designed this lightweight golf bag to be comfortable to carry. The “X-strap” dual strap system was engineered to be easy to carry using both straps or a single strap. Select your favorite of the 6 color options, pay $250, and this golf bag will be yours. 

PING 2020 Hoofer Lite Stand Bag

There’s a reason the PING Hoofer Lite is the bag used by the majority of high school and college golf teams. It’s been designed with the competitive golfer in mind. On the positive side, this means the Hoofer Lift has storage for all of your golf gear and has what you need to survive any weather conditions. The downside is that it’s a bit heavier than others on our list. This bag weighs a little over 5 pounds and can be a bit bulky.

The Hoofer is a high-product that comes in 11 different color combinations for $245. 

TaylorMade 2021 Flextech Lite Stand Bag

The final lightweight golf bag to make our list is the Flextech Lite stand bag by TaylorMade. In many ways, it’s in the “middle” of the products on our list. It weighs 4 pounds and costs $190. Weight and price are two key factors when we consider lightweight golf bags and the Flextech gets a passing grade on both. 

It has a 4-way top, a self-adjusting dual strap, and enough storage to hold your golf gear. This bag comes available in 5 different color combinations and will certainly get the job done. 

Save Your Back & Get More Out Of The Game

Golf is hard enough with your bag being difficult to carry. Get a lightweight golf bag, start walking the golf course, and you’ll get more out of the game. We hope you enjoy your stroll down the fairway.
