Look for Some of These Features in Golf Travel Bags for Sale

Any golfer who is serious about traveling is going to need a travel bag at some point or another. You just can’t safeguard your clubs with adequate protection in a cart bag or a stand bag if you’re going to fly with them or even take them on the road for an extended length of time. That is the reason that travel bags exist, after all, and we sell some of the best of them right here in our online store, from brands like Club Glove, Sun Mountain, and others.

If you’re shopping for golf travel bags for sale but are new to it and want some insight into what to look for, consider this short guide to help you decide. Here are some of the features that make golf travel bags more practical, some of which you’ll find in the models here at Dallas Golf Company.

-Adequate room - This is one of the most important features you can look for in a golf travel bag, because if you can’t fit another bag inside it or all of your equipment, then the other features don’t really matter for much. Bigger is better unless you have a reason to pare things down, and there are plenty of options to choose one so you can be sure to settle on a model that works for you. In fact, some golf travel cases are specifically designed so that you can just place the entire stand bag or cart bag right inside them without unpacking and repacking everything.

-Cushioning or additional protection - You also need to pick a travel bag that ensures your clubs will be kept safe during travel. Various travel bags have more than one way to ensure adequate protection for your clubs. Some of them are padded on the outside and inside, to prevent anything from getting scratched or broken. Some bags have internal retention straps to keep your gear from shifting. Others have a hard outer shell that resists crushing forces to keep your golf clubs, golf balls, and other equipment safe.

-Wheels or other features that make them easy to transport - Many golf travel bags for sale are specially designed to be easy to transport since they tend to be heavier, bulkier, and more cumbersome than other forms of golf bags. Many travel bags have rolling wheels built into their design so that they are easier to maneuver, say, around an airport, or when you are getting them to and from your car. Some of them even have a tow handle with a stiff arm to make the process even easier.

-Reasonable weight - While weight is not the most important thing to guide your decision in the purchase of a travel bag, you shouldn’t let it entirely slip your mind. You will need to do a little bit of carrying and transporting, even with a travel bag, and lighter is better. While weight matters more in stand bags and cart bags, some travel bags are slimmed down as much as practical for example, the Club Glove Collegiate Travel Bag weighs just about 8 pounds empty, which is fairly light for a travel bag.

-A good warranty - A good guarantee is always something to look for because it gives you some confidence in the purchase. Warranties will vary by the manufacturer or the seller, but the travel bag mentioned above, for example, comes with a limited lifetime guarantee from Club Glove along with the option of an extended 5-year warranty. These are just some more things to consider along with the purchase itself.

-The ability to personalize it - This is not a matter of dire consequence in a travel bag, and it certainly won’t distinguish a good one from a bad one, but it is a nice touch. If you can get it, use it, if not, move on.

If you can find a good mix of these features in golf travel bags for sale, then there’s a good chance you’ve come across a winner. Naturally, no one can tell you just what you need to look for in a travel bag, though, so you need to be the one parsing all the details. Only you can really say what appeals to you - this is just a guide.
