How do you choose a golf gift they will actually use?

Match the gift to how often they play, not how good they are. A regular player always needs consumables like gloves, towels and markers, so those are safe even if you know nothing about golf. A keen improver will love a training aid or a rangefinder because it feeds the obsession. If you have no idea, a branded gift set spreads your bet across several small items so at least some of it lands.

The one thing to avoid is anything sized or fitted that you have to guess: clubs, shoes and full waterproof suits are easy to get wrong and awkward to return. Stick to kit that fits everyone or comes in one size, and you cannot go far wrong under fifty pounds.

What should you avoid when buying golf gifts?

Skip the no-name multipacks dressed up with a fake RRP, the "was £49.99, now £12.99" bundles of tees and cheap balls that photograph well and disappoint in the hand. Avoid clothing unless you know their size and brand, and steer clear of anything that promises to add twenty yards from a gadget. A trusted brand at a sensible price beats a big bundle of unknowns every time, even if the bundle looks like more for the money.

Our gift picks in detail

PuttOUT Pressure Putt Trainer: best gift for improvers

Putting is where scores are won and lost, and the PuttOUT is the trainer serious golfers keep by the door for indoor practice. The curved ramp returns a well struck putt the exact distance it would have rolled past the hole, so they get instant feedback on pace and line. It is a proper gift that says you get their golf.

REVASRI Golf Rangefinder: best gadget under £50

A laser rangefinder is the kind of thing golfers want but rarely buy for themselves, which makes it a brilliant present. This one locks onto the flag with a vibration when it hits the target and factors in slope, so they get an accurate number to the pin. It feels far more expensive than it is.

Callaway VIP Gift Set: best when you are not sure

When you do not know their handicap, their brand or their glove size, a gift set from a name they will recognise is the smart move. The Callaway VIP set gathers useful on-course bits into one tidy, gift-ready package, so something in it always gets used. It is the safe present that still looks thoughtful.

Callaway Weather Spann Glove: best practical gift

Every golfer wears out gloves, and most put off replacing them until the grip goes shiny. A quality glove is a small gift they will genuinely appreciate on the first tee. The Weather Spann grips well in the wet and dry and comes from a brand they trust. Check their playing hand and size before you buy.

Callaway Trifold Golf Towel: best cheap and useful gift

A good towel lives clipped to the bag and gets used every single hole to wipe clubs, balls and hands. It is not glamorous, but it is the kind of reliable extra that never goes to waste. The Callaway trifold is well made, clips on easily and pairs perfectly with a marker or glove to build a bigger present.

Guinness Golf Ball Markers: best fun stocking filler

Sometimes the best gift is the one that raises a laugh. Officially branded Guinness markers are a cheap, cheerful extra that always lands in a stocking or a golf-day goody bag. They do the job on the green too, so they are more than a joke. A guaranteed smile for the golfer who has everything.

If you want to build a bigger present from smaller pieces, our buying guides can help you choose the right bits. Have a look at the Fayrway accessories range and read our guides to the best golf gloves and the best ball markers for more ideas.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good golf gift for under £50?

For most golfers a training aid like the PuttOUT or a laser rangefinder gives the biggest wow for the money, because they rarely buy those for themselves. If you want a safer bet, a branded gift set, a quality glove or a towel are always used. Match the gift to how often they play.

What golf gift should you buy if you know nothing about golf?

Buy consumables or a branded gift set. Gloves, towels, markers and accessory sets are used by every golfer regardless of standard, so you cannot pick the wrong ability level. Avoid anything sized or fitted, like clubs, shoes or full waterproofs, unless you know their exact size and preferences.

Are cheap golf rangefinders any good?

Yes, budget rangefinders under fifty pounds are now accurate enough for club golfers. Look for flag lock with a vibration confirmation and slope adjustment, which the REVASRI has. They will not match a premium tour model for range or speed, but for weekend golf they do the job and make a genuinely impressive gift.

What is a good last-minute golf gift?

A ball marker set, a towel or a glove all arrive quickly and are guaranteed to be used. If you want something that feels bigger, a gift set or a putt trainer still fits under fifty pounds and looks far more considered than a gift card. Keep a novelty marker set on hand for stockings.

Do golfers actually use training aids like the PuttOUT?

Yes, the PuttOUT is one of the few training aids that keen golfers genuinely keep and use, because it is quick to set up indoors and gives instant feedback on pace. It suits improvers and low handicappers alike, which makes it a safe gift for anyone who takes their putting even slightly seriously.

What size golf glove should I buy as a gift?

Glove sizing runs from small to extra large in men's and ladies' ranges, and the glove goes on the lead hand, so it is the opposite hand to the one they write with for most players. If you are unsure, check a glove they already own or pick a safer gift like a towel or marker instead.

A great golf gift under fifty pounds is not about spending the most, it is about buying the thing they would not treat themselves to. The PuttOUT and the REVASRI rangefinder both punch well above their price, the Callaway glove, towel and gift set are safe and always used, and the Guinness markers add a smile. Pick one to their level of keenness and you will have got it right.
