1. Sun Mountain C-130 Cart Bag (Best Choice)
Whose It For?
This is one of the more understated bags on our list. Clean, elegant, masculine and classic. And despite the leathery look of this bag, it is surprisingly lightweight.
We tested this bag (as with all the following entries on our list) for a full round of golf and it was easy to load and unload into our push carts – yes we all brought our favorite push carts. When you want to throw it over your shoulder, it has a single padded strap too.

Storage
As far as storage space goes, we would say this bag is for intermediate to advanced players who intend to use their full arsenal of clubs. It has a 14-way top for all your clubs. The top is made of cloth but still holds all clubs snugly in place.
There are also a total of ten pockets on this thing including two oversized apparel pockets that flank either side of the bag, an insulated cooler pocket for beverages and a couple velour lined pockets for your delicate items.
Overall
And as we touched on at the top of this review for Sun Mountain C-130, the design is basic yet classic at the same time. It comes in black, navy blue and light blue. We used the black bag and really, clean is the best adjective to describe it.
All in all, we would say this bag would fit the needs of someone who is fairly serious about their game but aren’t too much into the bells and whistles that can detract from the aesthetic appeal and balance of other bags.
Pros:
- Rain hood included
- Velcro straps conveniently lock firmly onto your pushcart
- Easily accommodates full sized grips
Cons:
- The drain hole for the cooler pocket is placed inconveniently
- Not a stand bag
Overall Rating: 96/100

2. Titleist Golf- Jet Black Collection Tour Cart Bag (Best Premium)
Whose It For?
Our first impression of this Titleist bag? Well, it was that we’d seen it on TV being carried by the caddies of the top tour pros in the game.
This bag bears a striking design that smacks of quality. Would you expect anything less from Titleist? Now this bag weighs about how much it looks like it weighs. On its own it’s a little over 10 pounds. But when you feel the material it’s made of, you will know why.

Real metal hardware accents this Titleist bag and it is flanked by durable, leather-like materials for all the pockets. The top 5-way divider is made of durable, hard plastic and lined with a soft velvet material.
There are 10 storage pockets including magnetic accessory pockets with velour lining. And even the large apparel pockets have sub-dividers in them for maximum organization!
Overall
This bag is definitely for the golfer who uses a cart every time they play and want to make an impression on the course. This will likely be the last golf bag you will need so it’s a great investment overall.
Pros:
- This bag will last for decades
- Looks great on and off the course
- Made of premium materials
Cons:
- Only a 5-way divider
- Definitely on the expensive side

3. PROSiMMON Tour 14 Way Cart Golf Bag (Best Budget)

If you are looking for a steal of a golf bag then this is probably your best choice. Of course, the first thing that stuck out to us about this bag is the external putter slot.

That’s right, we said external putter slot. If you have an oversized putter head that you don’t want clanking around against your other clubs, this slot will safely and conveniently hold your putter on the outside of the bag away from the other heads.
This PROSiMMON bag is well-designed, made of mostly nylon-type material. The 14-way top club divider has heavy nylon reinforcements and there is plenty of room for storage. It includes a cooler pouch, a deep ball pouch and zippered pouches for all your accessories.
There is even a towel ring and a Velcro glove holder. But we think the feature that makes this bag a great value is the weight of the thing. On its own it weighs a paltry 5 pounds. So it’s very easy to push around in your push cart and load into your trunk at the end of the day.
Overall
Being the best budget entry on our list, this bag would probably be more suitable for beginners. It doesn’t have some of the more advanced features as some of the other bags on our list but it will definitely give you what you need as you begin to learn the game.
Pros:
- Comes in 4 colors (green, blue, black, red)
- Includes an umbrella slot
- Plenty of storage
Cons:
- The nylon frays easily
- The zippers get stuck
Overall Rating: 91/100

4. Founders Club Premium Cart Bag with 14 Way Organizer Divider Top

While it’s not as light as the lightest bag on our list, it certainly isn’t as heavy as the heaviest. Even with its 9 zippered pockets which include a fur-lined (that’s right fur-lined) valuables pocket and a cooler pocket, this is a surprisingly lightweight bag.
Overall
Instead of being made of nylon or some other soft material, the top divider is made of molded rubber. And on the course, this is a distinct advantage because it holds your clubs firmer so there is less clanging of club heads and fewer disturbances on the course.
The rubberized divider also holds your clubs firmly so you don’t have to worry about them falling out no matter how steep the terrain is. And somehow, with the rubber divider, they were able to keep the weight of this bag surprisingly low.
Pros:
- Surprisingly affordable
- Comes in a variety of colors
- Comes with a 12-month warranty
Cons:
- Will not fit jumbo grips
- Won’t fit some Tall clubs
Overall Rating: 95/100

5. Callaway Golf 2020 ORG 14 Cart Bag

Right out of the box, this bag struck us as having the same simple, clean and classic look that the Sun Mountain bag had that started our list. We went with the black bag (yes I know, we’re boring) and it looked great.

On the course, you can tell how thoughtfully designed this Callaway bag really is. The 14-way top divider made our irons sit perfectly flush. The separate putter slot has an insert at the bottom for fitting larger grips while preventing them from rubbing up against the lining.
Really great club divider design overall. There is even a front-facing pocket specifically for rangefinders. There are 8 more zippered pockets including a large apparel pocket on the side, onto which the handsome Callaway logo is neatly embroidered.
Overall
The Callaway Golf 2020 bag features a hard rubber bottom which belies its own 6 pound weight.
Pros:
- 2 integrated handles on the top divider
- Includes rain hood
- Golf towel carabiner included
Cons:
- Doesn’t sit firmly on some push carts
- Glove attachment is kind of flimsy

6. Cobra Golf 2020 Ultralight Cart Bag
Who Is It For?
Cobra makes our list with their latest offering into their burgeoning catalog of high-quality golf club bags. This is a surprisingly lightweight bag (just 5.3 pounds) when you consider how much storage space is packed into it.
Storage
First of all, you get the obligatory 14-way top divider for all of your clubs. But it’s not just about club quantity with this bag. The slot for the putter is actually slanted downward so that it doesn’t bang into the club heads around it – making this bag great for rough terrain.
Secondly, there are a total of 13 (yes, we said 13) storage pockets including an ample cooler pouch that can handle more than a 6-pack of your favorite beverage. There is an oversized apparel pocket on the side perfect for jackets or even a pair of shoes.
There are a couple fleece-lined pockets as well so you can store your watch, phone or any other delicate valuable. Lastly, there is a slot that you can slide an umbrella into snugly – we’re serious, this thing holds onto umbrella stands really well.

Overall
One of the more understated yet convenient features of this bag is that many of the enclosures (the towel loop, and other clips) are magnetic so you don’t have to fumble around trying to look for where a button snap or Velcro strap is.
This bag is also made of a material that looks like nylon but on closer inspection, you can tell it is something much more durable. Apparently, it’s called Cordura fabric and it is very durable. This is the sort of bag that you can take for a round of golf in an active battle zone.
Storage
And in case you were wondering, Curdura is lightweight. The entire bag when empty weighs only 6.4 pounds. But there is still plenty of storage. There is a 14-way divider top for all your clubs and a total of 10 zippered pockets.
The insulated cooler pocket continues the innovative ways of this bag – for once, someone made a bag with a cooler pouch that drains clear of the bag itself. There is also a fleece-lined valuables pouch.
Pros:
- Comes in a variety of colors
- Lightweight
- Comes with rain hood
Cons:
- Doesn’t fit snugly in some smaller push carts
- There is just one shoulder strap

8. Datrek DG Lite II Cart Bag

This bag has a 15-way divider top design with 3 soft grip handles. This was a very easy bag to get in and out of the trunk and onto the cart because, just as the name implies, it is a lightweight bag. In fact, it is the lightest golf bag on our list weighing in at just 4.2 pounds!
So if they aren’t skimping on club storage space, surely they have to hold out on item storage space, right? Well, yes and no. While there are only 7 zippered storage pockets, they are still pretty big.
There are 2 very large apparel storage pouches on either side of this bag and a ball pouch that will surely fit all your balls no matter how many you sink into water traps. There is even an oversized cooler pouch that is second in size only to the Cobra bag mentioned earlier on our list.
Pros And Cons
Pros:
- Very large storage pockets
- Very lightweight design
- Comes in a very cool grey and red digital camo color
Cons:
- Not the best bag if you prefer fine-tuned organization
- The material is not the most durable

One of the things we like most about this bag is that all the pouches (of which there are 10) are 100% accessible from the front. And if you have ever used a bag that wasn’t designed for a push cart on a push cart, you know why this is important.
The Ram Golf FX Deluxe fit conveniently and securely on all of our push carts and we could grab everything we needed from the pouches without having to fidget with the bag in the cart.
Speaking of pouches, there are 2 large apparel pockets on the sides, an insulated cooler pouch and 2 thoughtful waterproof pockets. There is also a Velcro strap specifically for securing to push carts.
Overall
The whole bag on its own weighs about 6 pounds even though it sports a 14-way top club divider. There is also an umbrella holder and towel clip.
Pros:
- Very affordable golf club bag
- Reinforced molded rubber bottom
- Very well designed for push cart use specifically
Cons:
- When you have a handful of balls in the ball pouch, it makes it hard to pull out/put in your putter. They are placed too close to each other.
- Only comes in one color (black)

Once again, the advantage to this feature is that it holds all clubs in place exceptionally well. So if you have a wobbly cart or are going over some particularly tough terrain, this EG bag will still keep all your clubs firmly in place.
Storage
There are a total of 10 storage pouches too. There is a very ample insulated cooler pouch for beverages and snacks, a couple of large apparel bags mounted to either side of the bag, and an abundance of smaller storage pockets for balls, tees accessories and personal effects.
All the pockets are secured with zippers. There is also a convenient cart strap for both motorized carts and push carts. The bottom is reinforced with molded rubber so that it stands up on its own when you take it off the cart.
While the aesthetic design of this bag is nothing to write home about, it is very well-balanced overall. There is a padded back strap for when you need to lug it on your back and a towel ring hanging from the top/side end of the bag.
If you are looking for a bargain bag that has some of the same features as more expensive and advanced bags, this would be a great choice for you.
Pros:
- This is a very affordable bag
- Securely holds all clubs even ones with jumbo grips
- Comes in your choice of either blue, orange or red
Cons:
- The zippers get stuck easily
- The umbrella string can’t hold too much weight reliably
