Buying golf gifts for kids can be weirdly tricky. Some junior gear is more “toy” than equipment, some of it only fits for a season and a lot of it just doesn’t hold up to how hard kids are on their stuff.
This list focuses on gifts that are fun, practical and built to survive real play. From starter clubs and push carts to training aids and apparel, these are the best golf gifts for kid golfers in 2025.
Bridgestone Electron Golf Balls
The Bridgestone Electron is one of the more kid-friendly golf balls to hit the market this year. It’s bright and easy to spot which helps when your junior golfer is still learning to keep the ball in play. The softer construction also helps slower swing speeds create a bit more launch and ball speed. For kids who are still losing a handful of balls every round, the Electron is a nice balance between performance and price.
Charlie Golf Co. Kids Golf Bag (For golfers under 45 inches tall)
For the smallest golfers, this Charlie Golf Co. bag feels like a “real” golf bag without overwhelming them. It’s made from waxed canvas and leather so it looks and feels premium but stays light enough for little shoulders. It’s sized for kids under 45 inches tall, holds up to four clubs (or the matching Charlie kids’ club set), and can be personalized with their name. For a first golf bag, it hits all the right notes.
Charlie Golf Co. Junior Golf Bag + Clubs—Complete Set (For kids 46 to 53 inches tall)
Once kids grow out of that tiny stage, this Charlie Golf Co. junior set is a logical next step. The stand bag is made from durable 1000D Cordura and includes a two-strap system. One strap can be removed if they’re more comfortable with a single. The six-club setup (driver, hybrid, 6-iron, 8-iron, PW, putter) with headcovers gives them everything they need to play full rounds.
STIX Golf Clubs
For older juniors who are bumping up against adult gear, STIX is a strong value play. The clean, matte-black look tends to be a hit with teens and the brand has performed well in MyGolfSpy testing, particularly for accuracy. Add in the ability to order length and lie adjustments at a lower price than most major OEMs and STIX becomes a smart way to move a growing kid into a real set of clubs.
Sun Mountain Ridgeline 3 Push Cart
The Sun Mountain Ridgeline is great if your junior golfer prefers walking. The adjustable upper bag bracket lets it work with smaller junior bags and grow with them as the bag changes. It comes fully assembled, folds down quickly and has the sturdy feel you expect from Sun Mountain.
FootJoy Fuel Junior Golf Shoes
Junior golf shoes are still a relatively thin category but the FootJoy Fuel Juniors are one of the better options out there. They’re lightweight, offer dependable traction and feel comfortable enough for kids to wear for an entire day without complaints.
Divot Board
The Divot Board is one of the best training aids for kids. When they swing, the board shows exactly where the club hit relative to the “ball”, whether the swing path was on track and how the low point looked. It works indoors or outdoors and doesn’t need a ball to be helpful.
Shot Scope H4 GPS and Shot Tracking
The Shot Scope H4 works well for kids because it keeps things simple. It clips to a belt or bag, is small enough for junior hands and doesn’t require a phone in their pocket to function. It gives quick yardages and helps them learn how far they actually hit each club. For a junior golfer who’s starting to care about club selection and course management, it’s a nice step up. Also, Shot Scope is offering 15% off to MyGolfSpy readers witch code MGS15.
Pride Sports Paint Splatter Golf Tees
The Pride Sports paint-splatter tees add color and personality to a junior’s setup and they’re easier to see in the grass than standard white tees. This is a practical kid’s golf gift that will get any young player excited about the game.
Takeya Kids Insulated Water Bottle
Hydration matters for kids and the Takeya kids insulated water bottle solves most of the usual complaints. The stainless steel, double-wall design keeps drinks cold and prevents condensation and the straw lid folds down to stay leakproof when it’s tossed in a bag. It’s not the lightest but it holds up really well.
Sunday Swagger Youth Golf Shirts
Sunday Swagger leans all the way into fun patterns and their youth line might be some of the most entertaining shirts a kid can wear on the course. The fabric is soft, stretchy and breathable and it holds up well through repeated wash cycles and sweaty summer rounds.
Vineyard Vines Sankaty Quarter-Zip (Boys)
A lightweight quarter-zip like the Vineyard Vines Sankaty is a useful layering piece for cooler rounds. The fabric is smooth and stretchy enough that it doesn’t interfere with the swing and it’s comfortable enough to keep on all day.
VannyVee Tiger Caddy Golf Tee Holder
This Tiger Caddy tee holder is one of those small accessories that kids latch onto immediately. It clips to a golf bag or belt loop and keeps a handful of tees right where they’re needed instead of buried in a pocket. It adds a bit of personality to their setup and makes an easy gift or stocking stuffer.
Ghost Golf Magnetic Towel
Junior golfers are experts at losing towels. The Ghost Golf magnetic towel is one way around that problem. The built-in magnet lets kids snap it to an iron or a cart so it stays visible and easy to reach. The towel itself is soft and absorbent and the magnet gimmick is just fun enough that kids actually use it.
Bad Birdie Youth Polos
Bad Birdie’s youth polos include some of my favorite options for girls. The patterns are playful and the fabric is soft, stretchy and breathable. More importantly, these shirts hold up through sweat, sunscreen and laundering. If you want junior apparel that feels like “real golf clothes” but still lets kids show some personality, this is a good place to start.
PING Prodi G Junior Golf Clubs
PING Prodi G was hands down one of my favorite finds of 2025. If you want a true set of high-quality golf clubs for a kid—typically in that seven to 13 age range—this is it. These are built with real PING engineering and materials, just scaled for junior golfers, so the performance is genuinely good. PING also has solutions for when kids grow, which increases the usable life of the set. It’s a serious option for families with kids who are all-in on golf.
BRUCE BOLT Junior Golf Gloves
BRUCE BOLT has built a lot of buzz in the glove category and they’ve brought that same construction into youth sizes. The junior gloves use soft, premium-feeling materials and are cut to fit smaller hands properly. For kids starting to care about feel, grip and comfort (especially as they play more often), these gloves make a great gift.
Titleist Junior Boardwalk Rope Hat
A lot of kids’ golf hats don’t hold up well or don’t fit correctly. The Titleist Junior Boardwalk rope hat is one of the rare junior-specific designs that does. It has a structured look, works well for sun protection and is sized properly for smaller heads.
Callaway Supersoft Advent Calendar (12 Balls)
The Callaway Supersoft Advent Calendar might be the most fun way to restock a kid’s golf balls. It includes 12 Supersoft golf balls, each behind its own door. Whether you use it as a traditional countdown or just let them open one whenever they feel like it, it turns a standard dozen balls into something a little more fun.
GoSports Battle Putt Putting Game
Battle Putt turns putting practice into a backyard or basement game night. If you’re trying to encourage more putting without making it feel like homework, this is a good way in.
