Whether you’re just beginning on the putting green or a seasoned golfer working on improving your technique to lower your handicap, Academy Sports + Outdoors has all the golf essentials you need to excel on the course. Shop our selection from top golf brands like Titleist, Callaway, TaylorMade and more.

Choosing the right set of golf clubs is a literal game-changer for fairway beginners and experienced players alike. Additionally, all your equipment selections are just as important (down to the shoes you wear) and can heavily impact your performance.

Starting off the tee with superb quality golf balls can make or break your next 18-hole round. Just like iron sets, golf balls also matter for your playing style. They can help to improve your game and affect distance, depending on their spin (low, mid or high) and construction (one to five layers).

It’s more than a fashion statement: Golf clothing optimizes your comfort level on the links for every possible course condition. Playing in rigid heat or humidity becomes a breeze in Polo shirts with breathable fabrics. Or sport a lightweight golf vest to avoid letting the rain dampen your tee time.

Your golf shoes also impact results by providing flexibility, balance (sometimes on uneven or damp surfaces) and – most importantly – traction, which affects your swing either on the course or at the driving range. Shop for the latest men’s, women’s and youth golf clothing and footwear styles from the top clothing brands like Nike, adidas, Under Armour and more.

Explore Academy’s vast selection of golf bags, carts and other accessories to add the finishing touches to your golfing essentials.

The good news is that you don’t always need to hire a golf instructor help improve certain aspects of your game. If you’re looking to gain an edge with your short game or put more power into your swing, Academy has the latest golf technology and training aids to help you bring your A game from tee to green.

Laser rangefinders can be your secret weapon for improving your play and speeding up matches. Sneak in some extra time over lunch to perfect your precision with a putting mat or set up a hitting net in the backyard to improve your swing.
