Golf Gifts for Teenagers: 17 Ideas for Young Golfers (2026)

Updated on: November 1, 2026 • ~13 min read

Author: Graeme

Teenagers know exactly what they want for Christmas.

They just won't tell you, and they'll be polite about whatever you get wrong.

However, golf gifts for teenagers are easier than they look, because young golfers want the same three things: kit that helps them improve, tech they can show their mates, and merch from the YouTube golfers they watch every night.

Get one of those right and it'll be in their bag or on their bedroom floor by Boxing Day.

In this guide, I'll show you 17 golf gifts for teens and young golfers from stocking fillers to big-ticket tech, priced in pounds and dollars, with a note on what suits younger golfers, and the dates to order by for Christmas.

About the author: Graeme Whiles is the founder of Three Putt Golf Clothing and plays off 12.4 in West Yorkshire. He has tested and reviewed more than 100 golf clothing brands on this journal, and he's tested every gift on this list.

Short on time? Here are the key takeaways:

• Best tech: Garmin's Approach S44 watch (£259.99, $299.99), which they'll wear every day.
• Best for winter: PGA TOUR 2K25 (£39.99, $39.99), the newest golf video game.

How I Tested These Golf Gifts for Teenagers

Every gift on this list is one I've tested myself.

I judged each one on two questions. First, will it be on the range, on the course or in their golf bag within a month of Christmas?

For teenagers, there's a second test. Will they still be using it when their mates come round?

If a gift failed either, it didn't make the list.

One thing to be upfront about: Three Putt is my brand, so one of our designs is on the list. No other brand paid to be here, none of the links earn us commission, and our review methodology sets out how we handle that.

Golf Tech They'll Actually Use

Teenage golfers love numbers.

Distances, swing speeds, their best score. These gifts give them more of them.

Shot Scope PRO L2 Rangefinder (£149.99 / $149.99)

If I could only buy a teenage golfer one thing from this list, it would be this.

Shot Scope's PRO L2 is a compact laser rangefinder with a 700-yard range, 6x zoom, a vibration when it locks on to the flag and a magnet for the buggy.

The important bit for teens is the slope switch. The Rules of Golf don't allow measuring elevation changes in a competition round, so a rangefinder with slope that can be switched off is one they can take to a junior event, as long as the competition allows distance-measuring devices.

It's £149.99 in the UK and $149.99 from Shot Scope in the US, with free delivery in both.

Best for: the teen who's started playing junior competitions.

Garmin Approach S44 Watch (£259.99 / $299.99)

A golf watch that's also a smartwatch gets worn all week, not just on Saturdays.

Garmin's Approach S44 has a bright 1.2-inch AMOLED touchscreen, more than 43,000 preloaded courses, and distances to the front, centre and back of every green, plus hazards and lay-ups.

It's £259.99 in the UK and $299.99 from Garmin in the US. Garmin's newest golf watch, the Approach S72, costs nearly three times as much, which is a lot for a teenager's wrist.

Best for: the teen who'd wear a smartwatch anyway.

Gifts That Make Practice Fun

Most teenagers would rather play than practise.

These turn practice into a game they can win.

PuttOUT Devil Ball (£24.99 / $29.99)

PuttOUT's Devil Ball is a practice ball with a flat-edged impact zone, so it spins off line unless the putter face is square at impact.

PuttOUT says putts from 3 to 5 feet are twice as hard with it, and it has beginner, intermediate and pro levels, which is exactly the kind of challenge a competitive teenager can't leave alone.

It's £24.99 in the UK and $29.99 in the US.

Best for: a stocking filler they'll actually use.

PuttOUT Medium Putting Mat (£59.99 / $79.99)

When the course is dark by half four, a putting mat keeps them going all winter.

PuttOUT's Medium Putting Mat is 2.4m long, runs at 10 on the Stimpmeter, and is printed with distance markings, alignment lines and pace targets. It fits on a bedroom floor.

It's £59.99 in the UK and $79.99 in the US.

Best for: pairing with the Devil Ball for a proper practice set.

Lag Shot 7 Iron (£91 / $119)

The Lag Shot 7 Iron is a weighted 7-iron on a very whippy shaft, so it only works if their tempo and timing are right.

That instant feedback suits a self-taught teen who practises on their own at the range or in the garden, and it comes in right and left-handed versions.

It's $119 in the US. It ships from America, so UK buyers pay about £91 plus delivery, and may pay import charges too.

Best for: the teen who's watched too many swing videos.

Shot Scope LM1 Launch Monitor (£199.99 / $199.99)

Teenagers love comparing swing speeds with their mates.

Shot Scope's LM1 is a small, portable launch monitor for the range that shows clubhead speed and smash factor in real time, and it doesn't need a subscription.

It's £199.99 in the UK and $199.99 in the US, with free delivery in both.

Best for: settling arguments about who hits it furthest.

For When It's Too Dark to Play

Winter is the hardest time of year to be a young golfer.

These keep them playing until spring.

PGA TOUR 2K25 (£39.99 / $39.99)

PGA TOUR 2K25 is the newest golf video game, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with the PGA Championship, the U.S. Open and The Open as playable majors.

It's rated PEGI 3 and ESRB Everyone, and its cross-platform societies mean they can play mates on other consoles.

The standard edition is £39.99 or $39.99 on the PlayStation Store. If Augusta matters to them, EA Sports PGA Tour from 2023 is the only one with it.

Best for: the teen whose PlayStation sees more golf than the course in December.

Garmin Approach R10 (£479.99 / $499.99)

With a net and a mat, Garmin's Approach R10 turns a garage into a golf simulator.

It's a phone-sized launch monitor that measures clubhead speed, ball speed and spin, and it can play virtual rounds on more than 43,000 courses.

It's £479.99 in the UK and $499.99 in the US. The virtual rounds need a Garmin Golf membership, which is £89.99 or $99.99 a year, so budget for that too.

Best for: a family Christmas present with a garage to put it in.

Merch From the YouTube Golfers They Watch

Most teenage golfers learned the game from YouTube as much as from a pro.

So merch from the channels they watch goes down well. The catch for UK buyers is that these brands all ship from the US.

Breezy Have a Day Rope Hat (£27.28 / $36)

Breezy is the clothing brand built by the Bob Does Sports YouTube crew, and rope hats are the look of YouTube golf.

The Have a Day rope hat is one size, so there's no guessing, and it's $36 in the US. For a cheaper stocking filler, the matching ball marker is $15.

UK buyers see a price of £27.28, but delivery from the US can cost almost as much as the hat, so it's worth adding a couple of things to one order. Here's our full Breezy Golf clothing review.

Best for: Bob Does Sports fans.

Rhoback Mulligan Polo (£81 / $105)

Rhoback sponsors both Wesley and George Bryan, so for fans of the Bryan Bros, this is the nearest thing to their kit.

The Mulligan Performance Polo is a stretchy golf polo in adult sizes from S to 3XL.

It's $105 in the US. UK buyers pay £81, plus a flat $24 for international shipping and VAT at checkout.

Best for: the teen who's watched every Bryan Bros trick shot.

Primo Grant Horvat Essentials Hoodie ($99)

Grant Horvat part-owns Primo, and his Essentials range is the clothing he designed for himself.

The Grant Horvat Essentials CoreSoft Hoodie is $99 in navy, white or black. Primo prices everything in dollars, and UK buyers pay any import charges on delivery. Here's our full Primo golf clothing review.

Best for: Grant Horvat fans, who'll know exactly what it is.

Kit for the Course

Teenagers lose a lot of golf balls.

That's fine, as long as they're the right ones.

Vice Golf Balls (From £21.99 / $19.99)

Vice's Drive is a tough, two-layer distance ball, and a dozen is £21.99 in the UK or $19.99 from Vice in the US. They're cheap enough that a teenager won't mind hitting them into trouble.

For something personal, Vice will print a dozen of its premium Vice Pro balls with a name, initials or an in-joke for about £49 or $47. Personalised balls take 10 to 15 working days longer to arrive in the UK, so order early.

Best for: the teen who loses half a dozen balls a round.

Sunday Golf Loma Bag (£119.99 / $145)

Not every teenager needs a full set and a big bag.

Sunday Golf's Loma is a featherweight carry bag, about 0.9kg, with a built-in stand, room for up to six clubs and an insulated drinks pocket. It comes in bright colours.

It's £119.99 in the UK with free delivery, and $145 from Sunday Golf in the US.

Best for: the teen who walks to the range or a par-3 course with a half set.

Days Out and Memberships

The best gift for a young golfer is more golf.

These pay for it.

A Topgolf Gift Card (Any Amount)

Topgolf is a night out with mates, whatever their standard.

A Topgolf gift card covers bays, food, drink and even lessons. A UK card has to be used within a year of purchase, while US cards from Topgolf's US site have no expiry date.

Check the age rules before you buy. In the UK, under-16s must be with someone over 18, and under-18s can't go into the Watford or Chigwell venues after 8pm. In the US, under-16s need someone aged 21 or over with them.

Best for: older teens with mates who play.

An iGolf Voucher (£47, England Only)

Plenty of teenagers play pay-and-play courses without joining a club.

An iGolf voucher from England Golf gives them a year of iGolf, which includes an official World Handicap System Handicap Index, the MyEG app and public liability insurance. Under-14s need a parent or guardian's permission to join.

It's £47 for 12 months, for golfers in England.

Best for: the teen who wants a proper handicap without a club membership.

A Youth on Course Membership (US Only)

In the US, Canada and Australia, Youth on Course gets young golfers rounds for $5 or less at thousands of partner courses.

It's open from age six until their 19th birthday, and the yearly fee is set by each region, averaging between $5 and $65.

Best for: US teens who'd play every week if it were cheap enough.

Golf Clothing Teens Will Actually Wear

Full disclosure: this one's ours.

Three Putt Reckless Driving Tee or Hoodie (From £34.99 / $49)

Our Reckless Driving tee has our cow at the wheel of a golf cart, going far too fast, with the clubs flying out of the back.

It's golf's two meanings of "driving" in one print, on a heavyweight 305gsm cotton tee for £34.99 ($49). The Reckless Driving hoodie is £59.99 ($83).

A note on sizes: our tees start at an adult XS, and our hoodies and sweatshirts at an adult S. The hoodies start at adult S, so check the size guide for younger or slimmer teens.

Best for: a golf gift they'll wear to school, not just the course.

Golf Gifts for Teenagers by Budget

The same list, sorted by UK price.

• Under £30: Vice Drive balls (£21.99), the PuttOUT Devil Ball (£24.99), the Breezy rope hat (£27.28).
• £30 to £100: the Reckless Driving tee (£34.99), PGA TOUR 2K25 (£39.99), an iGolf voucher (£47), personalised Vice Pro balls (about £49), the Reckless Driving hoodie (£59.99), the PuttOUT putting mat (£59.99), the Rhoback polo (£81), the Lag Shot 7 Iron (about £91).
• £100 and over: the Sunday Golf Loma (£119.99), the Shot Scope PRO L2 (£149.99), the Shot Scope LM1 (£199.99), the Garmin Approach S44 (£259.99), the Garmin Approach R10 (£479.99).
• Any budget: a Topgolf gift card.

Buying for a Younger Golfer?

Most of this list suits golfers from about 13 upwards.

For younger kids, the PuttOUT Devil Ball and putting mat, a Topgolf trip with the family, and PGA TOUR 2K25 all work just as well, and Youth on Course starts at age six in the US.

The tech is a different story. A rangefinder or a launch monitor makes more sense once they're playing full rounds.

Order in Time for Christmas

A few of these take longer than you'd think.

• Three Putt: our last order dates for Christmas are Thursday 3 December in the UK and Monday 30 November in the US.
• Personalised Vice balls: allow an extra 10 to 15 working days in the UK, or up to 10 in the US.
• US merch to the UK: Breezy, Rhoback and Primo all ship from America, so leave extra time for delivery and customs.
• Digital gifts: PGA TOUR 2K25, Topgolf eGift cards and iGolf vouchers arrive by email, so they're the safest last-minute options.

Final Thoughts

Whatever you choose, a teenager's golf gift should get them playing, practising or showing off to their mates.

A rangefinder they can use in competitions, a putting game they can't leave alone, or a hat from the YouTube crew they watch every night will all get used.

And if you want something they'll wear off the course too, our Reckless Driving designs start at £34.99 ($49). Our golf gifts page has the rest of the range.

Frequently Asked Questions About Golf Gifts for Teenagers

What is a good golf gift for a teenager?

The best golf gifts for teenagers help them improve, give them numbers to share or connect to the YouTube golfers they follow. Good picks are Shot Scope's PRO L2 rangefinder (£149.99, $149.99), PuttOUT's Devil Ball (£24.99, $29.99), PGA TOUR 2K25 (£39.99, $39.99) and a Breezy rope hat from the Bob Does Sports crew.

What are good golf gifts for teenage boys?

Teenage boys who play golf tend to love tech and anything competitive. A Shot Scope LM1 launch monitor shows their swing speed, a Garmin Approach S44 watch gives yardages on the wrist, and the PuttOUT Devil Ball turns putting into a game. Creator merch from Breezy, Rhoback or Primo also goes down well with YouTube golf fans.

Can teenagers use a rangefinder in junior competitions?

Usually, yes, as long as the slope function is switched off. The Rules of Golf allow distance-measuring devices but don't allow measuring elevation changes during a round, and a competition can ban devices altogether with a Local Rule. A rangefinder with a slope switch, like the Shot Scope PRO L2, covers both situations.

What is the best golf video game for teenagers?

PGA TOUR 2K25 is the newest golf game, on PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, with the PGA Championship, U.S. Open and The Open as playable majors. It's rated PEGI 3 and ESRB Everyone and supports cross-platform play. EA Sports PGA Tour from 2023 is the only current golf game with Augusta National.

What golf gifts for teens are under £30?

Vice Drive golf balls (£21.99, $19.99 a dozen), PuttOUT's Devil Ball putting trainer (£24.99, $29.99) and Breezy's Have a Day rope hat (£27.28, $36) all come in under £30. For a stocking filler, Breezy's ball marker is $15, although UK delivery from the US can cost more than the marker itself.

Does Three Putt make clothes that fit teenagers?

Three Putt makes adult sizes only. Our tees start at an adult XS and our hoodies and sweatshirts at an adult S, which suits most older teenagers. The hoodies start at adult S, so check the size guide on each product page before you buy for a younger or slimmer teen.
