The best golf towels to keep your clubs in great shape, shot after shot.
What is a golf towel used for? And why do we need a golf towel?
Playing golf in the UK without a golf towel is never going to end well. Even in the height of summer, the British climate ensures that a golf towel is an essential golf accessory.
In fact having two towels is always a good idea. One should be attached to your golf bag and used to clean the clubs and/or wipe grips and other one should be kept in the golf bag so hands can be kept dry when the weather turns.
Golf towels come in all shapes and sizes and the advent of super-absorbent microfibre has increased your material options.
At three-and-a-half feet long, this heavily branded TaylorMade golf towel is a great one to have in the bag. A familiar sight on the main pro tours, it came out in 2019 and has been a popular addition to leading players’ accessory options since then.
A very nice, compact golf towel which, unsurprisingly, is designed to click on to trolley bags. Very thick, it is designed to keep those club faces free of moisture and debris. Also at the cheaper end of the market.
Plenty of colour options from Callaway on their tried-and-tested cotton golf towel. Clips on to any golf bag and plenty big enough to handle a full round’s work.
Microfibre can feel slightly odd to the touch, but Mizuno have overcome potential touch test issues by weaving the super-absorbent material into a waffle weave design. Also makes the towel more dense and effective.
A very large waffle-weave microfibre golf towel from Cobra that is ideal to have inside your golf bag. Perfect for drying hands, clubs and grips and so big it should cope in even the worst golfing conditions.
A small golf towel from the R&A but still a nice little bit of official merchandise. Comes in a wide range of colours and certainly a good way to remember the delayed 149th Open.

Certainly an eye-catching design from UA and one designed to fulfil a multitude of functions. There is a plush section for water absorption and a textured section for cleaning away other debris.
A striking large golf towel from PXG. Its camouflage design ensures you will stand out on the course. Another waffle weave microfibre offering and one that is at the expensive end of the market.
A plain-looking golf towel from Golfino but just the right size in terms of attaching it to your bag. It’s bigger than the average bag towel but at this time of year you need plenty of absorption.
The manufacturers claim it can absorb up to seven times its own weight so one to consider. It is also a big golf towel and a slit in the middle means you can hang it over any of your clubs. Another popular waffle-weave product and plenty of value for money to be had.
If you are going to get one bit of golfing apparel personalised then the golf towel is probably the most natural fit. You get to choose from 14 colours and then five different styles. You then have a choice of five different fonts and 29 thread colours. Lots of fun to be had designing this for a loved one.
