5 Gift Ideas for Golfers - Hero

5 Gift Ideas for Golfers

Chris Boothman
November 16, 2022

It’s that time of year when we all need to be heading out to find that perfect gift for a loved one. Finding that extra special gift can be challenging for the golfers in your life, but the following guide will hopefully inspire them to help choose something they will enjoy in the new year. Don’t worry. This list also offers the perfect gifts for those looking for some last-minute Christmas shopping ideas.

How about giving that special someone on your list a golf experience on Alabama’s Gulf Coast? Or perhaps you are looking for the latest equipment to help the golfer in your life improve their game heading into 2023. From a sleeve of golf balls to trendy golfing attire, the options are endless but trying to find the perfect option is certainly a challenge.

Kiva Dunes Golf Resort
1. Winter Golf Package Specials

Many courses on the Golf Coast offer winter specials that are the perfect option for those planning several trips to this stretch of Alabama coastline in the next year. Kiva Dunes offers a winter golf package where you can purchase up to 15 rounds of golf, and of course, the more you purchase, the more you save. 

Both Peninsula and Craft Farms Golf Clubs offer “six-pack” cards with significant savings. This gift provides up to $40 in savings on each round. For golfers who love to play along the Gulf Coast, either of these courses is a perfect option to enjoy an early start to the golf season in the New Year.

2. Golf Attire

Many golfers want to look the part when they head to the course. In fact, most courses will have a minimum dress code where a strict no denim, collared shirt policy must be adhered to. Why not head to one of the golf courses on the Alabama Gulf Coast to visit the golf shop and purchase your special someone a golf shirt, shorts, or other attire that they can wear the next time they head to the course?

Purchasing from a local golf shop at the course will frequently offer an opportunity to buy items that have the club logo promoting that course. Peninsula Golf and Racquet Club offers an online “one-stop shop” for purchasing customizable Peninsula attire. 

If you are a member of the local course, you will frequently get up to 20% discounts on all purchases within the golf shop also, which is another benefit that may inspire you to buy your loved one a golf course membership at one of the Gulf Coast courses.

3. Buy the Latest Equipment

Do you have someone ready to start playing golf, and they need a fresh set of clubs to make their dream come true? You can purchase a new set of clubs for them or perhaps buy that new wedge or driver they’ve been eyeing every time they make you go into a golf store. 

Purchasing clubs can be extremely challenging because there is so much personal taste and preference with different brands, styles, and budgets. Try to get some feedback from the golfer in your life by heading to a golf store and seeing what they tend to gravitate towards when looking at clubs.

However, if you want to make your gift special, you will have to be willing to take a little risk. Leading brands such as Titleist, TaylorMade, Callaway, and Ping are always relatively safe bets, whereas newer brands such as PXG are becoming more popular in golf bags across the globe. 

Golf Balls Gulf Shores
4. Stocking Stuffers

Golfing requires several items, some of which players run through quickly. Whether you want to grab something small or find a selection of inexpensive gifts to stuff a stocking, golf accessories make an excellent choice! Golf tees may not seem like much, but for the golfers out there, they are always needed both on the course and at the driving range.

It’s inevitable that golfers will need golf balls for the upcoming season, and dependent on their standards will likely determine which type of ball they will need. The aspiring golfer can likely get away with cheaper options, whereas the seasoned golfers may prefer Titleist Pro V1’s or other “higher” caliber of the golf balls.

Towels, ball markers, and gloves are just a few other examples of accessories that you can consider, and every golfer will likely enjoy adding to their collection. If you want something a little more unique, consider purchasing a rangefinder that golfers can use to pinpoint their yardages when they next visit the course.

Golf Lessons Gulf Shores
5. Lessons with a Pro

The holiday season means it is time for golfers to either put away their clubs for a few months or get ready for the new season by working hard on their game at the driving range. There is no better way to fine-tune a swing than by visiting a local professional for a short 60-minute lesson, and this is a great gift idea if you want to ensure the golfer in your life is following the right fundamentals with their golf swing.

Are you a beginner, a player trying to break 100 or a seasoned player needing that next tip to help you break 80 for the first time? Golf professionals at local courses on the Gulf Coast will offer lessons based on each player’s needs. From private to group lessons, instruction for all aspects of the game is the perfect way to ensure golfers are starting the new year ready to shoot their best score!

Check out all of the incredible courses along the Alabama Gulf Coast and start planning a golf getaway to Alabama’s beaches!
