Club Glove Last Bag Golf Travel Bag Review

Constructed of heavy duty materials, the Club Glove Last Bag is a durable travel bag providing confident protection for your golf clubs, bag, and gear.

Introduction

Club Glove is a company synonymous with travel bags and used by over 90% of professional golfers .  Don’t believe me, just head to baggage claim Monday at a tour event city.  You may recall Club Glove’s first product from back in the 90’s – neoprene head covers that derived from the wet suits founder Jeff Herold wore surfing the waves of California.  I noted a common thread with some other great west coast brands, johnnie-O and Iliac – all the founders have a passion for the board and the links.  I asked Jeff if that’s some secret entrepreneurial combo.

“It doesn’t take too long living on the West Coast to be immersed in action sports such as surfing, skiing, and snowboarding. That combined with year-round golf makes it an easy combo to grow into.  I have known John O’Donnell for over 15 years now however I have never met Bert LaMar.  I would love to meet Bert someday as I really appreciate his designs and willingness to make things here in the USA.  Both John and Bert are much better golfers than I, however I feel blessed to be able to partake in these wonderful individual sports.”

The Club Glove Last Bag Large Pro is a soft sided travel bag for your golf clubs and accessories.  The Large Pro version I tested is intended to accommodate most stand and cart bags .  For staff bags, Club Glove offers the XL Pro Tour.  They also introduced a smaller version in 2016 for carry and smaller stand bags called the Collegiate.  The Last Bag Large Pro is available in 17 colors, and can be personalized.  Even though its size and shape make a Last Bag stand out from other luggage, I prefer any color other than black for quick identification.

Club Glove calls it the Last Bag for a reason – it’s intended to be the only travel bag you ever need to purchase.  The bag body is made from Invista Cordura 1000 D nylon fabric which is the highest denier (linear mass density of the fiber) fabric made by Invista for luggage and also water resistant .  The black reinforcing fabric and handles are made of even stronger 1600 denier ballistic nylon.  Each handle connection is reinforced with four metal rivets.  The plastic base is sturdy, and the wheels look and feel industrial.  Compared with other travel bags, this bag feels indestructible .

Design & Performance

Much of the design of the Last Bag Large Pro is related to the quality components described above.  Inside there’s a strap that secures the golf bag to the Last Bag, which keeps everything from shifting in transit.  I do wish there was a second, lower strap inside, but once the bag is closed the three outside straps lock everything down .

The top section of the Last Bag has thick padding for additional protection for the club heads.  There’s a generous pocket on each side of the Last Bag and an ID nook with a sturdy snap closure.  The main zipper opens all the way across the top which makes getting the golf bag in and out a breeze .  The positioning of the central lift handle is perfectly located for keeping a packed bag balanced.  Having a handle near the bottom is great when lifting and maneuvering were required.  For rolling the unit, the top handle does the trick.  The extra loop you see on the top is for integrating with Train Reaction luggage from Club Glove.  I didn’t test this, but it sure looks awesome in these videos.

Before I move on to performance, I need to point out that I also tested the Club Glove Stiff Arm .  This $29.95 device should be utilized with any travel bag for protecting your clubs.  Extended a couple of inches above your longest club, the Stiff Arm not only provides unifying rigidity to the whole bag, it keeps the contents from getting crushed length wise – think nose dive from extended heights.  The round disc also acts like a safety umbrella for side impacts.

I was hoping to test the Club Glove Last Bag Large Pro on an actual flying golf trip, but the timing didn’t work out.  Simulating the airline experience turns out to be a battle of guts and nerves.  I tested within reason until I felt comfortable the combination of packing technique, Last Bag design, and Stiff Arm would protect my gear and clubs from damage by even aggressive handling .  Packing may be considered an art, but there’s a careful blend of science involved, and Matt S shares his valuable insight here .  Another tip from past experience – pack sunscreen inside a shoe so it doesn’t take a direct hit.

The wheels on the Last Bag roll effortlessly and are sized to take on steps while maintaining maneuverability.  One final thing I grew to appreciate was the plastic base.  The solid bottom allows the bag to stand upright – a real plus when you are stuck in a line or needing both hands for other purposes.  The downside to the base it the bag doesn’t fold up flat enough to stick under a bed and ends up about the size of a roller carry-on.

I’m always skeptical when I see statistics regarding usage by pros as they get everything for free, or are paid to use products.  But, would they use a product like this if their clubs – their livelihoods – weren’t protected?  I don’t believe so.  I polled several pros, and all of them use Club Glove Last Bags.  At $319, the Large Pro doesn’t come cheap, but compared to the investment being protected it’s worth it.  Unlike those shiny new balls or hot new club you just bought, the Last Bag is going to be around for a while.

Good review. I currently have the smaller version and couldn’t be happier with it. It is incredibly durable during travel and air flights. And their accessories are worth mentioning as well as they are a perfect compliment to the travel bag, including the stiff arm you mentioned, the J hook and the train reaction. The latter 2 devices (especially the J hook) allow you to pull you golf bag and suitcase as one unit making it incredibly easy to move through the airport. Well worth the extra few bucks. I was originally given one recommendation that you buy a different color travel bag and not just get the black version to differentiate your clubs from others and prevent someone from picking up the wrong bag by accident.

Jim – had the Last Bag, and it’s fine, but I move don to the SM ClubGlider Journey combined with a Stiff Arm about 4 yrs ago. More Stable as it is partially hard case with the wheels protected – and it rolls effortlessly. And I don’t need more accessories. And it is less expensive. But the Last Bag has a following as does the SM Glider Series.

Unfortunately my experience actually traveling with the ClubGlove Last Bag XL- for my staff bag- wasn’t as expected. On my second flight, a charter flight for tour players, the travel bag ripped in multiple places, my putter was damaged $8500 Scotty Cameron putter head was chipped and bent. ( I was using Stiff Arm, and clubs were in full staff bag), shoes in side pocket were damaged and my 3 iron unusable.

As a tour pro, most of my equipment is provided by manufacturers. Putters are personal, that was a big loss as I was traveling between events out of the US. I also purchased this travel bag, retail over $400. ClubGlove claimed airline abuse. When i called them. I then sent photos of the damaged travel bag.. No response was received. Why did I pay a premium price if their materials won’t hold up?

I can’t risk this happening again, and as a new college grad I don’t have the funds to pay an extra $400 per week for a new travel bag. I’m going to buy a hard sided bag that actually protects my clubs. In my case I’m playing for my career and can’t afford to arriving at tournaments with 2 days between early season starts and having my equipment damaged, irreparable and no way to replace broken clubs. Not every tour event has equipment trucks when tournaments are outside of the country.

I am disappointed in Club Glove. I can suggest that you buy a good quality travel bag that costs half the price and save your money for an extra round or two at a favorite course. My experience is that even with other club glove bags I had to replace them annually through college seasons and amateurs summers. This is the second time one actually had the fabric get ripped. Maybe the larger staff bag just doesn’t work in a Club Glove a travel bag.

Hi my friend! I want to say that this article is awesome, great written and include almost all vital infos. I’d like to see extra posts like this .

My wife and I go on golf vacations at times and one huge advantage of this travel bag is that we can fit two small bags in this so only one travel bag needed. I bring all of my clubs, she brings about 8-10 clubs. We do pack our golf balls inside our regular luggage to keep Club Glove under 50 pounds. A stiff arm device is critical in my opinion. When not using it over the years, I had 2 heads snap off during shipment. Never when using stiff arm. I’ve had my bag for years. Cost about $220 when I bought years ago. I love it!!

A durable golf travel bag is essential for protecting your clubs and giving you peace of mind whether you’re traveling by car or airplane to one of the world’s best courses. While there are plenty of storage options for safely traveling with your clubs, we tested the best golf travel bags based on qualities like durability, portability, and capacity. 

Our top pick for the best golf travel bag overall is the Club Glove Last Bag Large Pro golf travel bag, which thoroughly impressed us. The bag is made with durable nylon material with plenty of padding to ensure that your clubs make it to your destination safely. We were able to fit clubs, clothes, golf balls, and other accessories into the bag without any issues. If you’re looking for a hardshell case or a budget-friendly bag, we found options for a variety of categories to fit the needs of all golfers. 

Best Overall

Club glove last bag large pro.

• Capacity 5 /5
• Design 5 /5
• Portability 5 /5
• Durability 5 /5

It’s built to last with single webbing reinforcement and burst-proof construction. 

The bag is on the heavier side.

The Club Glove Last Bag Large Pro golf travel bag is one of the best-made travel bags we've seen. Fit for a weekend golf getaway , the bag can comfortably fit a set of clubs in a standard-sized carrier, golf balls, shirts, shorts, towels, and two pairs of golf shoes between the main compartment and two exterior pockets. Despite the 45-pound weight after packing, we thought the balance was evenly distributed throughout the bag and the inline skate wheels rolled smoothly and felt sturdy due to the plastic wheelbase that is designed for high-impact travel. We noted the high-quality feel of the water-resistant nylon material that adds durability to the bag, which truly feels like it will last a lifetime.

The bag is outfitted with self-lubricating YKK zippers and ITW Nexus buckles that come from a manufacturer that makes military-grade hoops, locks, and buckles. An aluminum stiff arm to reinforce the padded protection for impact during traveling is included. We flew with this bag twice in one month of testing and it still looks like it just came out of the box. The durability, functionality, and sleek design of the Club Glove Last Bag Large Pro Golf Travel Bag make it well worth the price for golfers that are planning to travel with their clubs.

Best Budget

Caddydaddy constrictor 2 travel cover.

This bag includes large pockets that can store all of your extra gear.

The sides aren't padded, so you may want to add cushioning to protect your clubs.

For frequent travelers or golfers who want a bag that can store even their bulkiest gear, this CaddyDaddy bag is the perfect option. Not only is the bag itself large enough to store all of your clubs, but we love that it also features side pockets big enough to pack your shoes and even extra clothing. Even with all of this space, the bag still doesn't feel bulky.

Made of thick rubber and nylon, we feel confident this bag won't break, tear, or otherwise fall apart making it a great value. The fabric is also thick and well-stitched. To give you added peace of mind, it comes with a one-year full replacement warranty so you can test it for yourself.

The Details: 27.5 x 18.9 x 14.5 inches | 9 pounds | Wheeled | Nylon and rubber

Most Spacious

Caddydaddy golf club travel cover with wheels.

• Design 4.5 /5
• Portability 4.5 /5
• Value 4.5 /5

The interior has tons of room for clothing or shoes in addition to golf clubs. 

It has straps that are slightly uncomfortable.

The CaddyDaddy First Class Premium Padded Golf Club Travel Cover with Wheels has tons of space for not only clubs, but golf shoes, clothing, and anything else you would ever need on a golf trip as well. Since the golf travel bag weighs just 10 pounds, golfers can pack up to 40 pounds of clubs, clothes, and other accessories before reaching the general 50-pound checked bag limit for most airlines. We loved the spacious side pockets for toiletries and golf shoes, as well as the well-placed straps that can be tucked in during traveling to prevent damage.

The weight of the golf bag is mostly evenly balanced, and the wheels and handles make it easy to carry and maneuver; however, the top handle could have been a little more comfortable. The materials and the zippers of the bag feel durable and well-made. We're confident that this bag would last a very long time and would not be something you'd have to worry about replacing anytime soon.

The Details: 51 x 13 x 15 inches | 10 pounds | Wheeled | Nylon

Best Softside

• Capacity 4.8 /5

There are fold-out legs in the center with wheels that make rolling the bag even easier.

Travelers might want to consider a stiff arm for added protection.

For golfers looking for a simple yet functional golf travel bag, the Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian Travel Cover is a solid option. The design of the bag includes everything you need for hassle-free packing and travel experience, including a spacious interior for a cart or stand bag, two exterior pockets, and a pull-out leg mechanism with an additional pair of wheels besides the ones at the bottom of the bag. We found it very easy to collapse the legs in and out and the bag rolled a lot more smoothly than expected.

The high-quality, durable feel of the handles on the front, bottom, and middle of the bag equally impressed us by making it a breeze to lift and maneuver comfortably. While the nylon exterior material and padding feel sturdy and durable, the bag would likely only protect golf clubs against low-impact hits.

Most Durable

Club glove collegiate travel cover with stiff arm.

PGA Tour Superstore

• Capacity 4 /5
• Design 4.9 /5

It comes with a stiff arm to protect the heads of the clubs.

Packing the clubs was a tight fit with the length.

Traveling by air with golf clubs can be risky considering the potential for rough handling that comes with checking in luggage, but the Club Glove Last Bag Collegiate Travel Cover with Stiff Arm is made of high-quality materials and includes a stiff arm that is designed to protect gear from hard impact. The adjustable stiff arm is made of nylon plastic and lightweight aluminum, and although it doesn’t take up much room, we had to jostle the bag to get the stiff arm in with the golf clubs. With the smaller-sized interior, we appreciated the two large exterior pockets that can fit items like shoes, clothing, or sunscreen. The fully-packed bag is comfortable to carry with top, bottom, and middle straps that evenly distribute the weight of the lengthy bag and we liked how it can stand up on its own.

After flying with this Club Glove design, there weren’t any scuffs or damage to the bag. The exterior of the bag is made of water-resistant ballistic nylon fabric and the backing has single webbing reinforcement — a common fabric used for climbing, military gear, and parachutes. 

The Details: 52 x 14 x 14 inches | 11.3 pounds | Wheeled | Nylon

Best Portability

Izzo golf high roller.

• Capacity 4.5 /5
• Design 4.8 /5
• Durability 4 /5

There are six wheels on the bottom of the bag so it can be rolled upright. 

It feels slightly top-heavy.

The Izzo High Roller golf bag impressed us with how easy it was to transport by wheeling or carrying it. The six wheels on the bottom of the bag make it possible to push or pull it while standing upright. In addition, the bag can collapse down to just 12 inches for easy storage while traveling or at home.

While the bag felt a little top-heavy while being wheeled through an airport, the handles made it easy to lift and hold onto while rolling the bag. Even if the bag were to fall over, it has a solid amount of protective padding on the inside and outside, and it’s made of tear-resistant nylon that feels sturdy and durable. The interior of the bag is large enough for golf clubs and extra shirts, and the exterior pocket is big enough for a pair of golf shoes, but it was a tighter fit than we would’ve preferred. We think the Izzo High Roller bag is perfect for golfers who could benefit from having exceptional portability and durability while traveling through airports.

Best Hybrid

Caddydaddy golf travel bag cover with hard case top.

• Design 4 /5
• Portability 4 /5

Only the top half is hardshell, which makes storing the bag much easier.

It feels top-heavy while carrying.

The CaddyDaddy Enforcer Golf Travel Bag Cover with Hard Case Top is designed with traveling golfers in mind, especially those who live in big cities where storage space is limited. This golf bag has a unique design where the top half is a hardshell case and the bottom half is softside. The half hardshell gives you the protection you want for your clubs and we love how the bag can compress into itself, making it more space efficient for storing when not in use.

The exterior of the bag has two pockets for storing balls or shoes and although there aren’t any pockets on the inside, there was a good amount of room left over for clothes. Though the hardshell top makes it slightly top heavy, the bag maneuvers well on the inline skate wheels at the bottom, while the top, bottom, and center handle make it easy to lift the bag into a car or onto a weight scale at the airport.

Best Lightweight

Tourtrek tc pro travel cover.

Dick's Sporting Goods

• Durability 4.8 /5
• Value 4.8 /5

It feels lightweight whether it’s being pushed or pulled over a variety of surfaces.

The interior of the bag could be bigger.

The TourTrek TC Pro Travel Cover offers an abundance of protective padding and excellent portability. We think this bag is a fantastic value thanks to durable design and interior space that’s roomy enough for a set of golf clubs and two mesh pockets for accessories, as well as an exterior pocket for a pair of shoes. The cushioning is very generous and the bag feels protective and sturdy with 360-degree padding to keep your golf clubs safe whether you’re traveling by air or car. The handles are padded as well, making them comfortable to hold onto while lifting or rolling the bag. And it includes a lock and key set for an additional layer of security and peace of mind.

Weighing 6.6 pounds, this golf travel bag is lightweight and takes up less of the allotted 50-pound weight maximum that most airlines limit checked bags . While we think the interior could be a little bit bigger, this golf travel bag has high-quality features that lead us to believe it will protect golf clubs and last a long time with prolonged use, too.

Travel & Leisure / Chris Abell

We had our expert product testers and golfers take 19 golf travel bags on the road to find out which ones will keep your clubs safe whether you’re flying or driving. Our testers evaluated the bags by flying, driving, walking around, and carrying the bags and rating various attributes on a scale from one to five based on capacity, design, durability, and portability. 

Our testers packed their golf clubs into the travel bags and noted how easy it was to place the clubs into them and if there was room leftover for clothes, shoes, golf balls, or other accessories between the main compartment and any pockets. While packing the bags, we checked the quality of the zippers and buckles, as well as how much padding there was and if it felt sufficient for protecting the clubs. The bags with the highest ratings for capacity were spacious with extra room leftover, and the best performing bags for design had thoughtful and intuitive features that had golfers in mind and made packing easier.

After packing up the travel bags, our traveling golfers tested portability by carrying and wheeling the bag to get a feel for how it maneuvers. The top performing bags for portability were exceptionally easy to lift and wheel with comfortable, padded straps and handles. Durability of the travel bags was tested when they were transported by airplane or car. Our five-star ratings for durability went to the travel bags that had no damage to the exterior or items on the interior after being used and gave us confidence that they would hold up well with prolonged use. The testers determined that the bags with the best value performed as or better than expected given the price, especially pricier bags that needed robust justification for the cost.

Other Golf Travel Bags We Liked

While there were plenty of well-performing golf travel bags, there were a few listed below that almost made our list of best golf travel bags but fell short during testing. 

Samsonite Golf Deluxe 3 Piece Travel Set : The bag is functional and has a sleek design, but there isn’t much padding and the zippers are plastic, which made us question the durability of the bag while flying. 

Samsonite Hard Side Golf Case : The hardshell feels durable, but there isn’t much give so it was a tight fit to get the golf clubs in, and the case is difficult to store since it can’t break down.

Amazon Basics Soft-sided Golf Travel Bag : This bag is very affordable, but has an unstructured bottom, so it can't stand up on its own.

SKB Cases ATA Deluxe Standard Hard Travel Golf Case : This case was built to withstand a lot of rough handling and includes TSA-approved locks, but can become heavy due to its thick plastic.

Bag Boy Golf T10 Hard Top Cover : For minimalist golfers, this simple bag fits just what you need, but won't give you room for extra equipment or gear.

Other Golf Gear You May Need

When you're heading out for a long day on the course, be sure you're prepared with everything you need from sunscreen to golf gloves to ensure you stay completely focused on enjoying the game.

Titleist Players Flex Men’s Golf Glove: These high-performance gloves are a classic for a reason. The cabretta leather is silky smooth, offering optimal comfort and breathability, so your hands won't sweat mid-swing. Plus, the Satin Net materials across the knuckles provide plenty of flexibility.

Peter Millar Solid Performance Jersey Polo : If you're someone who gets caught up in the game and forgets to reapply sunscreen, this golf shirt is for you. Not only is it made of moisture-wicking materials in 13 vibrant colors, but it provides UPF 50+ sun protection as well, so you can stay safe without even thinking about it.

Adidas Men's Tour360 22 Golf Shoes : These shoes provide excellent cushioning to keep you comfortable all day long, and still feature 11 metal spikes for traction and grip. They're also designed with roomy toe boxes and heel reinforcement to ensure your foot stays in place.

Wilson Sleeveless Club Dress : This stylish golf dress is made with four-way stretch fabric that is breathable and feels good even in extreme heat. It also features hidden and roomy pockets so you can store any essentials you may want ready and on-hand.

Tips for Buying a Golf Travel Bag

Consider buying a stiff arm .

Whether you’re buying a hardshell or softside golf travel bag, a stiff arm can add another layer of protection to your golf clubs. A stiff arm is usually an adjustable metal rod with a plastic disc at the the top of it that extends longer than the driver or longest golf club. The rod is placed into a golf bag to absorb the hit if the bag is tossed around and prevent the clubs from being directly impacted. 

Hardshell versus softside 

When looking for a travel golf bag, you'll want to look at durability and padding. Both hardshell and softside golf travel bags can prevent damage to your golf clubs while traveling and are a worthwhile investment for golfers that travel several times per year. A hardshell suitcase can get more scuffed than a softside golf bag, but you might not need to buy a stiff arm since a plastic case offers a more structured layer of protection. Whereas a softside bag might need extra protection like a stiff arm, it’s easier to store a soft bag than a bulky hardshell case that can’t be folded down. Some airlines will only cover damaged or lost clubs that are in a hardshell case, so be sure to check with the airline to find out the policies. 

Look at the types of wheels

From upright wheels to inline skate wheels, golf bags are created with a variety of options to make transport easier for all types of players. You should look at wheels that will smoothly and easily roll over different terrains without adding weight to the overall bag.

You’ll want to make sure your golf bag and clubs can fit in a travel bag. While you don’t want to squeeze your clubs inside, you won’t want them swimming in a roomy case either. If there is extra room in your travel bag, stuffing the sides with clothes or towels can help keep everything in place, especially if you’re flying. If your club heads can be removed and covered, that can further prevent damage to your gear. 

Every airline will be different but most follow the same policies as regular check-in luggage regarding weight and size limitations. The weight limit for check-in luggage, including golf clubs, is almost always 50 pounds or less. If your bag weighs more, there will likely be a surcharge fee. Airlines also have different restrictions and policies for packing golf shoes or balls in your bag, and coverage for lost golf bags can be dependent on the type of golf travel bag. For peace of mind, consider securing an AirTag holder with a tracker to your golf bag.

Generally, airlines do not pay travelers for damaged golf clubs. Some, like American Airlines , may compensate if the equipment traveled in a hard-sided case that is visibly damaged and was properly packed, but you should always check your specific airline's policies before flying to guarantee safe and secure travel.

Club Glove Last Bag

The Club Glove Last Bag is reasonably lightweight and fits a standard golf bag and clubs with a fair amount of extra room for shoes, clothing, extra golf balls and whatever else you’d like to cram inside. It’s a good-looking bag, easy to roll and maneuver, and durable enough to hold up to the abuse inherent within airline travel.

The Last Bag is advertised by Club Glove as the travel golf bag used by more professionals on the PGA, Champions and LPGA Tours than any other. It is also the travel golf bag used used by more Critical Golf editorial staff members than any other. Need we say more?

DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION

The Club Glove is made of Cordura, an extremely durable fabric, and is, hold on to your hats, made in the United States!

In addition to the tough Cordura exterior, the Last Bag features a wheelbase made of high-impact plastic, which protects both the base of the bag and the lower portion of the back of the Last Bag, and houses two in-line skate wheels (with bearings, no less).

The design of the Last Bag includes:

• 1 strap on the inside of the case to secure the packed golf bag,
• 3 restraining straps with buckles on the outside to provide support, including one around the clubheads, one around the center of the bag, and one at the base of the bag,
• durable plastic clips on the outside of the bag for the included (removable) shoulder strap,
• 2 inline stake wheels that, when combined with the base and heavy construction, make the bag easy to move,
• 3 handles, two of which are located in the middle of the bag that snap together, and one at the base of the bag to assist when lifting and moving the bag,
• thick padding around the top of the bag to provide additional protection around the clubheads, and
• a choice of 16 colors to distinguish yourself when traveling (go ahead – feel free to pick out a wacky color – Mocha with Pink webbing isn’t for us, but knock yourself out!).

The buckles, zippers and rivets are all made of heavy-duty materials and perform well over time. We have yet to find another soft cover bag that compares in overall quality of construction and durability to the Club Glove Last Bag. No, it’s not cut-proof, but it is as close as you can find in a soft cover golf travel bag.

Lastly (no pun intended), if you are concerned about the unlikely possibility of club breakage (which the company notes occurs 1 to 2 times a year across all Tour Professionals), the Club Glove Stiff Arm is available to add vertical strength to the bag. So if you just dropped a smooth $5,000 on eBay for a Scotty Cameron GSS Putter , you just might want to spring for this extra support.

TRAVEL IMPRESSIONS

Traveling with the Club Glove Last Bag is a breeze. The Last Bag weighs 10.5 pounds and accommodates clubs up to 47 inches in length. The high-impact plastic at the base and around the back of the bag provides a solid structure for the bag, allowing for the bag to be easily rolled through airports and slid in and out of vehicles (soft bags with no structure are more difficult to wheel around, because they keel over at every opportunity). The bag can be grabbed and lifted by the handles at the top and center of the bag. Because it’s a soft bag, the Club Glove Last Bag also provides a fair amount of “give” when you’re trying to fit everything into your trunk, and it folds up into a moderate size for tucking away into a closet when not in use. Compare this to the various hard-shell golf cases which don’t provide that kind of flexibility.

The Club Glove Last Bag has two external shoe pockets and comes with two shoe bags. If you’re only bringing one pair of shoes, you obviously have the option of using the second pocket for other belongings (such as golf balls…unless you are traveling through Edinburgh, where golf balls mysteriously disappear from travel golf bags on a regular basis). There are no locks built into the zippers of the bag, so those looking to further secure their valuables will need to purchase TSA-compliant locks separately.

Since there are no pockets on the inside of the bag, we usually toss in clothes in loosely or in a small packed bag. The Last Bag provides a healthy amount of padding at the neck of the bag, so you don’t need to worry about wrapping the top of your clubs to provide for additional protection.

Just a quick travel tip – given the ample space within the bag, it’s easy to quickly increase the total weight of the bag and gear above 50 pounds. If your bag weighs more than 50 pounds, the airlines will hit you up for a hefty excess weight fee ranging from $60-$175 each way (as if they don’t charge enough already…except for you, sweet sweet Southwest “Bags Fly Free” Airlines). It’s never a bad idea to make sure you have extra room in your carry-on just in case they weigh you in at more than 50 pounds and you need to offload some items. And yes, we have learned this from experience. Some travelers we know who shall remain nameless recommend that if you are going to exceed the 50 pound barrier by a reasonable margin, you should consider curbside check-in for your golf travel bag and wave a tip during the process, which can reduce the likelihood of your bag being weighed.

At $289, the Last Bag isn’t the least expensive golf travel bag on the market, but we think that it’s worth every penny. Some of our more “frugal” reviewers have tried cheaper bags in the past, before realizing the error of their ways and stepping up to the Last Bag.

The Last Bag comes with a limited lifetime warranty, covering defects in material and workmanship during “normal travel use”. Club Glove also now offers a $59 upgrade to an “unconditional” 5-year warranty. This unconditional (or “NQA” for “No Questions Asked”) warranty is offered by Club Glove to cover any damage that occurs to the bag. Keep in mind, however, that the Club Glove warranties just cover damage to the bag, and not the precious clubs inside.

There are a lot of soft bags on the market that are available for a lot less (yes, you can find ones on Amazon that are available for under $50), but if you travel to play golf on a regular basis, the purchase of a Last Bag is an investment you should make. In the long run, it’s a small price to pay for this level of construction and durability. Take it from us – in the world of soft-cover golf travel bags, there is the Club Glove Last Bag…and everyone else.

9 of our favorite golf travel bags to consider for your next golf trip

The proper golf travel bag is necessary for anyone hitting the road. A travel bag needs to check all the boxes —durability, pocket space, padding and an internal strap to keep the bag snug and not moving around inside—the difference-maker is the much-appreciated ability to effortlessly move through the airport. Wheels to allow you to move through the airport with minimum effort is also key.

If you're reading this, it's not too late. You've likely done the hard part—booking your next golf trip. Now you need to figure out how to get your golf clubs safely to your destination. We're here to help, here are a few of our favorite travel bags that'll make things a little easier whenever you hit the road again. RELATED: The best travel cover for golfers

Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian

The Sun Mountain ClubGlider Meridian is large enough to hold anything from a standard carry bag to the largest of cart bags. There are enough pockets to store everything from a pair (or two) of golf shoes, raingear, a dozen balls and, on the way home, probably a bag of dirty laundry. At the airport, the pivoting wheels make maneuvering through check-in a breeze.

Caddymatic Hard Top Shell Padded Travel Cover with Wheels

A durable, polyester lower half folds up inside the hard top to make it easier for storage. The shell top of the bag helps protect clubs from damage in transit.

Club Glove Last Bag Collegiate Travel Cover with Stiff Arm

Not only is Club Glove one of the most trusted companies in this space, but it also offers some of the most impressive style offerings in golf. Available in 16 colors, these are well-designed bags, which also include a stiff arm protector to keep your driver safe.

Bag Boy T-2000 Travel Cover

For anyone who's struggled to fit their golf bag into a tight travel case in the past, the Bag Boy will seem like a revelation. The full wraparound zippered compartment makes it simple to get your clubs into the case.

Sun Mountain Kube Travel Cover

This might be the most innovative option in this group. The Kube folds into a versatile little square, making it convenient for condensing in size when your bag's not in there (think in the trunk of your car on a golf trip, or in storage when you're not on a trip).

TourTrek TC PRO Travel Cover

Just like the bag above, this Tour Trek has a large compartment that wraps around and zippers shut. The company also boasts a central internal compression strap to help secure your clubs in transit. There are 11 colorful options to choose from.

SKB Cases ATA Deluxe Standard Hard Golf Bag

This durable case is molded from a durable polyethylene, which the company says was built to better fit golf bags of any size. This case also boasts what the company calls a "patent-pending closure system" with industrial strength latching to make the system more secure.

OGIO Straight Jacket Travel Cover

The strap system on this durable Ogio bag makes it easy to secure your clubs, so they don't move around and become damaged in transit. The travel bag is fully padded to protect your clubs further, and keeping the product as fresh as possible. The company, one of the most reliable for all types of bags, also boasts tip-resistant stability. (This model is currently sold out, but you can shop a similar Ogio travel bag here .)

Review: Club Glove Travel Last Bag XL

You can order your bag in just about any color you can imagine, I suggest a bright color so that it will be easier to see at the carousel.  They will even embroider your initials on the bag too.  They have a couple different sizes so you don’t have to get a bag big enough for a staff bag and a long driver. Another handy tool that I think is worth every penny that compliments the Last Bag well is the Club Glove Stiff Arm.  It is an adjustable dome topped stick to protect the woods from getting snapped off.  It holds the top of the bag nice and secure so you get the maximum benefit of your Last Bag. In the airport the Last Bag is really easy to maneuver and use whether you have to run through the airport or you have to stand in line for an hour just to get checked in.  (I had both the last time I traveled).  It stands up by itself on the base, it rolls easily, and it can even connect to the Club Glove Train Reaction system. 

The zippers are really thick and heavy duty.  There are also 3 clipped straps that wrap the bag; securing the contents within the bag.  There is ample padding around the upper part of the bag to protect all the clubs, while the rest of the bag is made of really heavy duty nylon, called CORDURA. Here is was Club Glove says about it. (Single piece burst proof construction made with Invista™ Cordura® 1000 D water resistant nylon up to 3x stronger and lasts up to 5x longer than standard polyester) The plastic base plate wraps up the back so you can lay it down or stand it up.  The only downside might be that even when you collapse the nylon upper on itself it still is a little large to store, nothing crazy like a hard-sided case, but some travel cases do store a bit smaller, but I’d rather have to find a couple extra inches to store the Club Glove Last bag than worry about my clubs while traveling.  You get all of this made in the USA.  My clubs will only be traveling in a Club Glove Last Bag XL!!
