The Best Golf Gear for Summer 2025: What to Upgrade Before Your Next Round

The Best Golf Gear for Summer 2025: What to Upgrade Before Your Next Round

The sun’s out, the greens are rolling, and the fairways are firm — it’s peak golf season. If you’ve been playing with the same kit since last year (or longer), summer is the perfect time to upgrade your gear and enjoy more comfort, confidence, and performance on the course. Whether you’re chasing lower scores or just want to make golf more enjoyable, here’s our breakdown of the best golf gear worth investing in this summer.

1. Lightweight & Waterproof Golf Bags

Carrying heavy or bulky gear in the summer heat isn’t fun. This season is all about bags that are lighter, more functional, and built to handle sudden showers.

Top Picks:

If you play regularly in summer competitions or travel between courses, a lighter, weatherproof bag makes a big difference over 18 holes.

2. Trolleys That Make Summer Walking a Breeze

Pushing or pulling your clubs is a great way to enjoy the walk and stay loose — as long as your trolley is built to handle summer terrain.

Top Picks:

  • BagBoy Nitron – A one-step auto-open trolley that’s quick, solid, and incredibly user-friendly.

  • Axglo E3 Electric Trolley – Smooth, stable, and easy to fold — perfect for golfers who want to save energy without the fuss.

  • GolfRide Electric Scooter – Fancy saving even more energy? This one’s for the golfer who wants effortless fun and serious flexibility.

Hot weather is tiring — having a reliable trolley (or scooter!) saves your legs for the shots that matter.

3. Clubs Built for Forgiveness & Feel

If you're a new golfer or just looking for more consistency, using clubs that are built for forgiveness can make a huge difference to your game. Modern starter sets are designed to help you get the ball in the air, reduce mishits, and enjoy the round.

Top Picks:

  • Masters GX1 Club Sets – Available in steel or graphite shafts, these reloaded sets come with forgiving irons, easy-to-hit woods, and a lightweight bag — ideal for beginners and high handicappers.

  • MKids Pro Junior Sets – Perfectly sized and weighted for younger players, helping them learn the game properly from the start.

Whether you’re just starting out or upgrading from an old set, these clubs are designed to build confidence and make golf more enjoyable.

4. Training Aids & Launch Monitors for Practice

More daylight means more time to sharpen your game. If you’re serious about improvement, don’t guess — measure.

Top Picks:

  • Rapsodo MLM2 Pro – Portable, powerful launch monitor that syncs with your phone.

  • FlightScope Mevo+ – For the golfer who wants full swing data and simulator features at home.

  • Voice Caddie SC4 Pro – Compact and easy to use with 3D driving range visuals and swing speed training.

Practice smarter this summer. You don’t need to be a pro to use data — just someone who wants to get better.

5. Accessories That Actually Make a Difference

Summer golf is all about staying cool, organised and ready for anything.

Must-Haves:

  • Cooler pockets (like those found on the Masters GX1 Bags)

  • Waterproof rain covers & towels

  • Rangefinders like the Shot Scope PRO ZR or PRO L2 – because guessing your yardage never helps

  • Gloves, tees, and junior-friendly accessories for younger players starting out

Small upgrades can often have the biggest impact on your comfort and consistency.

Final Thoughts: Make Summer Count

The best time to upgrade your golf gear is when you're actually out on the course playing regularly — and that's what summer is for. Whether you need to lighten your load, sharpen your distances, or treat yourself to a new club that boosts confidence, we’ve got you covered.
