Golfers are famously hard to shop for. They already own the clubs, the balls get lost anyway, and you're not about to guess their glove size. So skip the gear. These pieces celebrate the game itself, from the first tee to the last laugh at the clubhouse, and they're made to be enjoyed off the course, too.

Who will love this

This basket rounds up some of our favorite gifts for golfers, from weekend hackers to the pros in your foursome:

• The weekend golfer. Saturday tee time is sacred, and everything else gets scheduled around it.
• The league regular. They know everyone at the course by name and keep a scorecard from every round.
• The golf couple. One is the King of the Swing, the other is Queen of the Green, and the rivalry is friendly (mostly).
• The newly retired. Finally, a weekday tee time.
• The one who's in it for the cart. Their score is a mystery, but they never miss a round or the drinks after.

When to give it

Father's Day is the classic, and a retirement gift, one of our favorite retirement golf gifts, is a natural fit for someone about to trade the commute for the course. It also makes a fun milestone birthday gift for a golfer of any age.

It also makes a great end-of-season thank-you for the friend who organizes the league, books the tee times, or always drives the cart. And for golfers in colder climates, a holiday gift that keeps the game in sight all winter is hard to beat.

What's in the basket

The basket, as pictured

• King of the Swing Golf Mug (Our Name is Mud): For the guy who rules the course and the coffee pot.
• Stay the Course Clock (Allen Designs): A golf cart with golf ball hands and a swinging club pendulum.
• Golf Figure, "Hole In One" (Jim Shore Heartwood Creek): A hand-painted gnome golfer in a lawn-inspired cap, carrying a club bag with its flag.
• Novelty Golf Towel (Our Name is Mud): A white waffle towel that looks just like a golf ball, with a joke every golfer will get.

More from the collection

Building a set of golf gifts for women? These round out the collection:

• Queen of the Green Golf Mug (Our Name is Mud): For the woman whose swing is as strong as her coffee order.
• Queen of the Green Wine Glass (Designs by Lolita): Golf clubs, a sparkling pink golf cart, and crystals for the ultimate 19th-hole glass.
• Tee Time Wood Desk Clock (Allen Designs): A colorful fairway scene, sized for a desk or bookshelf.

Make it yours

• Use a range bucket. A driving-range ball bucket is sturdy, on theme, and something they'll actually use.
• Fill the base with green shred filler. It looks like fresh-cut grass and cushions everything sitting on top.
• Fill the gaps with golf balls and tees. They cushion the mugs better than paper, and every golfer can use more.
• Keep the towel rolled and visible on top. Its golf-ball look is the whole joke, so don't tuck it away.
• Building a set for her? Add the Queen of the Green mug and wine glass, then tuck pink golf balls in alongside them.
• Write the note on a scorecard. Something like "You're always under par with me" makes a perfect gift tag.

Mix-and-match gift ideas

Not every golfer needs the whole bag. Pick the set that suits their game, including a few gifts for golf couples below.

• King & Queen of the Course: King of the Swing Mug + Queen of the Green Mug. A his-and-hers pair for the couple who plays together.
• The 19th Hole: Queen of the Green Wine Glass + Queen of the Green Mug. For the ladies' league champion, morning and evening.
• Office Tee Time: Tee Time Wood Desk Clock + King of the Swing Mug. For the golfer who's counting down to the weekend from their desk.
• The Home Clubhouse: Stay the Course Clock + Golf Figure. Retirement decor for a den, office, or garage.

Golf gifts for the off-season

Most golf gifts live in the bag and only come out on the course. These are made for the rest of the week: the Monday-morning coffee, the desk clock at work, the figurine on the shelf, and the wine glass at the end of the day. For golfers in colder climates, that means the game stays close even while the clubs are packed away for winter.

Frequently asked questions

What do you put in a golf gift basket?

Mix pieces they'll use every day, like a golf mug or wine glass, with something for their home or office, like a golf clock or figurine. Fill the gaps with golf balls, tees, and a novelty golf towel.

What do you get a golfer who has everything?

Skip the gear, since golfers tend to be picky about clubs and balls. The best gifts for golfers who have everything celebrate their love of the game instead, like a golf-themed clock, a funny mug, or a collectible figurine.

Is there a discount on the golf gift basket?

Yes. Code PUTTING10 takes 10% off any item in our Golf Gift Basket collection, even a single piece.
