4 Things Every Golf Traveler Needs to Know (Before You Fly)
Save Time, Money & Stress on Your Next Golf Trip
Planning a golf trip? Traveling with your own clubs can be a hassle and expensive. Before you zip up your travel case, here are four things every golf traveler should know.
1. Airlines Aren’t Kind to Golf Bags
Most airlines treat golf bags as oversized luggage, which means extra fees, strict weight limits, and a higher chance of damage or delays. Even if you’re a seasoned flier, your clubs aren’t guaranteed to arrive when—or how—you do.
Tip: Check your airline’s sports equipment policy ahead of time. Fees can sneak up on you, and each carrier has different rules.
2. Packing Right Can Save You (Big Time)
If you’re traveling with your own set, the way you pack them matters. Use a hard-shell case, remove club heads (especially for drivers), and fill the space with soft items like clothes or towels. And always tag your bag with your contact info.
What to keep with you: Rangefinder, gloves, valuables—those go in your carry-on.
3. Renting Clubs is Easier Than You Think
Why haul your clubs through airports when you can rent premium ones to be available at your destination? With Get Clubs, you’ve got two simple, flexible options:
Both options offer top brands like TaylorMade, Callaway, Ping, and Titleist—and returns are just as easy. No baggage fees. No stress. Just quality gear, ready when you are.
4. Always Have a Backup Plan
Even with a perfect plan, things can go sideways. Maybe your airline delays your bag or your destination doesn’t have your preferred rental set. Keep your club specs saved on your phone, and know the local rental options ahead of time (psst—you can always book with Get Clubs last-minute if needed).
Bottom Line:
Ditch the baggage claim and get straight to the course. Renting with Get Clubs makes golf travel easier, cheaper, and way more enjoyable.
