Golf Carry Bag Reviews – Overall Ranking
Critical Golf rates and reviews the latest in golf carry bags. We lug them around, weigh them, and test all of their features so you don’t have to. Our reviews are from the perspective of golfers who WALK the course. There were a few standouts, but in the end, we found that all of the bags work pretty well, so there’s a bit of a clumping in our ratings. Your purchase decision will most likely be driven by the tradeoffs you’re willing to make between weight, storage capacity, and price.

The Sun Mountain Zero-G is pricey, but delivers excellence. Like a stay at the Ritz-Carlton. Or dinner at Nobu. Includes the nifty invention of a belt strap to distribute weight to the hips and legs and keep your back healthy. Let’s loop another 18!

The Titleist Premium Stand Bag delivers on all of the features a consumer would expect from a product with “premium” in its name. Those looking for lots of storage space (and not as concerned about weight) will love this bag.

The Sun Mountain Superlight 3.5 delivers excellence at a reasonable price. Unlike the CEO of GM. Or Barry Zito. Or “Waterworld”.

The Nike SasQuatch Tour Carry Bag looks very cool, so if style is of paramount importance in your bag-purchasing decision, you will like it a lot. But it struggles trying to be both a carry bag and a cart bag at the same time, and ultimately succeeds at neither. Some odd design elements left us scratching our heads.

Not bad, but it doesn’t make your heart go pitter pat either. Good beat, easy to dance to, I give it an 85.

The OGIO Nexos has lots of gadgets and doodads, some of which are VERY cool. On the other hand, some of the inventions are ho-hum, and they all combine to make this the heaviest bag tested. Oh, and it’s the most expensive one as well.

If you are anal as some of us, you’ll love being able to put your clubs into 14 individual slots. Otherwise, you might not think the extra cost, in both dollars and weight, is justified.
