Best Golf Pencil Bags

Finding the right golf bag could help you make the difference when it comes to organising and planning your game. Golf pencil bags allow you to travel freely around the golf course and get back to a more minimal approach to the game where you’re less burdened by equipment.

You might already have taken a look at our ultimate guide to the best golf bags 2020 has to offer, or the best golf stand bags currently available. Here we’re looking more specifically at the best golf pencil bags on the market this year.

Carrying a bag gives you more freedom to move around the golf course, you can walk straight up to your ball wherever it’s sitting. It’s also quicker and easier to deal with pre and post-game.

But, if you like to carry, you’re inevitably going to expend more energy than someone with a caddy or taking a cart or trolley. To minimise energy loss and maximise carrying comfort, you might think to look for a bag that’s super lightweight and minimal – a golf pencil bag could be just the ticket.

Ping Moonlite Carry Bag

+ Clever stand-up strap
+ Super light at just over 1kg
– No stand to keep base off the ground

The lightest of the Ping golf bags, the Moonlite is ideal if you’re zipping out for a quick nine holes, or an evening round. But it offers sufficient functionality to be a little more than just a secondary pencil bag.

There are six pockets, including a water bottle pocket and the 4-way rigid top provides easily enough room for 14 clubs.

We’re a big fan of the standing strap. It sits in a rigid position ready to go meaning you don’t have to bed right down to pick the bag up. The dual straps can be easily converted into a single strap.

This is a pretty versatile carry bag – either go minimally with a half set for reduced weight or, pack up and prepare for a longer day on the links.

Hitting the fairways with a pencil bag like this feels great. You’re unencumbered by bulky equipment and you can just focus on enjoying the walk and your game.

This bag is super comfy to carry thanks to the ergonomically designed double strap, but it’s pretty solid too and the mini stand legs keep it nicely off the ground to stop it getting wet.

This is a great option as a second bag – If you want to travel light or quickly zip onto the course, it’s great to have the choice of throwing a few sticks in and striding out.

There’s now a 4-way top that helps you keep a full set of clubs nicely organised and there are four decent sized pockets, including a full side apparel pocket and a valuables pocket.

It’s comfy to carry thanks to the double strap, but a single strap option further minimises the look if you prefer.

It comes in either black/grey or Mizuno Staff colours (blue and white) – It looks great, it takes up very little space and is lightweight and easy to carry, in our opinion; it’s one of the best golf pencil bags on the market.

Sun Mountain Leather Sunday Bag
