Golfers tend to be remarkably stubborn – but for a good reason. We will play if we have some hope of being able to play close to our normal level. We play in the sun, in the cold, and even in the rain. That’s why we need bags that can be as stubbornly unflappable as we can be.

A sturdy and versatile golf bag is essential if you play regularly and are serious about keeping your playing time. If you are a serious golfer, you should avoid bags that are too cheap, too bulky, or too clumsy.

You want enough room for all your clubs, but you also don’t want to carry a bag that’s too big or doesn’t fit in your cart. You’ll also need a waterproof bag for fog and even light rain. Let’s take a look at the best waterproof golf bags.

 

WATERPROOF GOLF BAG FOR GOLF CART FOUNDERS CLUB

The high-quality Founder’s Club bag is the first on our list. It looked good initially, and we weren’t disappointed when we took it out on the course.

First, it weighs only five and a half pounds when unloaded. And it has enough slots for all your clubs – 15 in total. There are 2 oversized clothing pockets on each side of the bag contributing to the 9 total storage pockets.

And this bag has been designed with care. The strap to attach it to your cart is high enough to make each pocket accessible when it’s in place.

 

The pros :

• Stands on its own
• Includes a detachable rain hood
• Insulated insulated pocket

Cons :

• The umbrella holder is a little fragile
• A handful too many

 

TITLEIST PLAYERS 4 STADRY STAND BAG (BEST BONUS)

The next is one of the best deals for a high-quality waterproof golf bag. This Titleist bag weighs only 3.8 pounds! It’s light as a feather and made of weather-resistant material.

We first liked this bag’s sleek look, but we were more impressed with the high-quality design, including sealed pockets at the seams for extra protection and the generous foam padding that makes this bag comfortable.

You have 4 oversized holes for your clubs at the top (multiple clubs fit in one hole) and 6 large storage pockets.

 

The pros :

• Aluminum stand legs
• Comfortable to wear
• Enough space for all our stuff

Cons :

• Clubs get a little restless
• Sags a little when standing upright

 

 

CALLAWAY GOLF 2018 HYPER DRY LITE STAND BAG 

Callaway makes top-quality golf equipment, but we take our collective hat off them for this one. This incredibly lightweight and durable waterproof bag is the best choice when you want quality.

The Callaway Hyper Drybag weighs only 3.6 pounds, but it still has plenty of storage space for all your clothes and accessories. It also has two sturdy feet that keep it at a convenient angle to reach all your stuff.

Like the last entry on our list, there are 4 large dividing holes on the top to hold your clubs. And Callaway’s X-Act Fit strap system makes this bag perfect for any golf cart.

 

The pros :

• Convenient side mesh pockets
• Sustainable design
• Convenient cart belt design

Cons :

• It could hold the clubs more securely
• The base material could be reinforced

 

COBRA GOLF  ULTRADRY STAND BAG

Our first impression of this bag was that it had one of the reflective characteristics of the last Callaway bag: the base of the bottom is angled so that when the legs are engaged, and the bag is tilted, the bag rests flush against the ground.

But the Cobra Ultradry bag continued to impress. It has “X” shaped carrying straps that make it easy to carry and weighs 4.5 pounds. It also features a 14-way top divider for your clubs and 5 seam-sealed pockets, including an oversized garment pocket.

We liked the overall design of this bag. It looks great, it has the stylish Cobra logo on the side, and there’s even a fleece-lined pocket to store your delicate valuables like your phone and watch.

The pros :

• Luxury appointment
• Sustainable design
• Sturdy backpack

Cons :

• Exists only in one color
• The drink pouch is not insulated

 

 

 

TAYLORMADE DELUXE WATERPROOF CART GOLF BAG

We had high expectations of this TaylorMade bag and are pleased to announce that we were not disappointed (if we had been, it wouldn’t even have been on the list).

First, it’s a lightweight bag; it only weighs one hair over 5 pounds. Second, the 15-way top divider has an extra deep shaft for your longer clubs and is reinforced with a solid material that we can only assume is some woven nylon.

There are 7 storage pockets on this TaylorMade bag, including a towel ring and some well-placed handles. This bag will fit easily into your motorized cart or pushcart.

 

The pros :

• Available in black/red, black/blue, and grey
• High-quality waterproof fabric
• Reinforced base

Cons :

• No cooling bag
• No legs in a standing position

 

 

COBRA GOLF ULTRALIGHT CART BAG

Cobra’s second entry on our list made an excellent first impression with its attractive design. This bag is clean even though it is covered with 13 storage pockets.

This Cobra bag weighs just over 5 pounds, but it has room for everything you need, including an oversized insulated cooler pocket. There are two fleece-lined pockets for valuables and a 14-position club divider.

It’s a great choice when you also want the most stylish bag on the course. It is available in various colors, but we chose the black/grey variety and weren’t disappointed in the look.

The pros :

• Enough storage for all your stuff
• Very nice bag
• Strap passing system

Cons :

• Not the most waterproof bag on our list.
• Zippers are a little fragile.

 

 

FORGAN GOLFDRY 9.5″ WATERPROOF GOLF CART BAG

We initially didn’t expect much from this Forgan product, but it made its way onto our list thanks to some advanced features in this waterproof bag.

First, you get an oversized 14-way divider that easily fits all your essential clubs. You get a total of 2 umbrella holders conveniently placed so as not to obstruct access to the pocket. There is also a cooling pouch and 100% waterproof pockets with sealed seams.

The cart weighs 5 pounds, and you can choose from various colors. Plus, when this bag is attached to your cart, all pockets are still easily accessible. The velcro glove holder, towel ring, rain hood, and oversized garment pocket complete this well-designed bag.

 

The pros :

• Very affordable
• Fleece-lined pocket for valuables
• Available in several colors

Cons :

• No legs in a standing position
• Club separation pockets are not sewn close to the bottom.

 

WATERPROOF RAM CART GOLF BAG – 14-WAY CLUB DIVIDERS

Our first impression of this bag was that it seemed very well balanced. Even if there is no leg rest, the arrangement of the pockets and straps at least made it look easy to carry and stand on.

We were not wrong. The reinforced base and the strategic placement and size of the pockets on this RAM Golf bag make it a dream to get from the trunk to the cart and back. As the name suggests, there are 14 slots for your clubs.

This includes an oversized external slot, so your butterhead doesn’t hit the other club heads. You have a total of 9 pockets in this bag, including an insulated pocket for drinks and a pocket for valuables lined with soft material (faux velvet?).

There are also a few clever little features that have been glued on this bag that still manages to be very well balanced overall. For example, it has an umbrella holder and a velcro strip for your gloves, and you can attach an included rain hood.

The pros :

• Very affordable bag for quality
• Made of 100% waterproof material
• The weight is very well balanced (the whole bag weighs only 5 pounds)

Cons :

• Does not seem to last very long
• The handles are not very well placed

 

FOUNDER’S CLUB WATERPROOF GOLF BAG

This bag contains just about everything you need to play a full round of golf in the rain. Of course, it’s made of waterproof material, and the pockets are sealed with stitching so your gear and valuables won’t get wet.

There’s also an umbrella shaft and a rain hood with snaps when the weather turns bad. But in addition to all the waterproof features, this 5-pound bag is also convenient. Take, for example, the foam padding on the side of this bag that cushions the weight of the bag against your hip when you have to carry it. The 4-point shoulder straps also feature high-density foam for comfortable carrying.

And when it comes to storage, you’ve got a 14-way club divider top and a total of 6 storage pockets, including a large clothing pocket, a velvet-lined valuables pocket, and an insulated pocket to keep drinks cool.

The pros :

• You can say that this bag was built to last.
• Two aluminum legs
• Very affordable for the level of quality

Cons :

• Not all packages are accessible when the bag is in the cart.
• The umbrella pouch also makes it difficult to access the contents of some pouches when in use.

 

OUUL AQUA WATERPROOF CART BAG

We end our list with a bag that, at first, we thought would be more of a distraction than an asset on the course in bad weather. We say this because the only color available during the trials was black and orange.

And if you’ve read some of our reviews, you know that we are a boring group that usually opts for plain, flat colors like black and gray.

But the durable design that holds up well in the rain makes this bag impressive.

The OUUL Aqua Cart bag was designed for the motorized or pushcart. Its 7 pockets have been carefully arranged to be accessible when attached to the cart. This bag features a 14-way club divider that extends 10 inches – a good size for safety and storage.

It weighs under 5 pounds when empty and comes with mandatory (though essential) waterproof features such as an umbrella slot and rain hood.

 

The pros :

• The umbrella slot is spring-loaded for a secure fit.
• The material drains water from the surface of the bag very well.
• Keeps your clubs securely in place

Cons :

• It is not the most comfortable bag to carry on your back.
• A little expensive

 

 

 

 

 

 

WHAT’S THE BEST?

If money isn’t an issue, we suggest you take the Callaway Hyper Dry Golf Bag. It’s a durable bag and has been one of the most convenient and comfortable bags to carry by hand. Plus, it will last a long time, which means a lot to us.

But if you want the best deal, we recommend the Forgan bag from our list or the Titleist StaDry bag. Both bags are affordable and provide everything you need to enjoy the game, even when Mother Nature tries to make it rain on you.

But you can’t go wrong with one of the entries on our list. They all represent at least one feature that is very valuable when you try to play in bad weather.
