Honest Bonobos Golf Clothing Review 2026 | Three Putt Golf

Updated on: October 28, 2026 • ~11 min read

Author: Graeme

We test golf apparel the way we play. Hard, social, and honest.

Bonobos started with one pair of chinos.

In 2007, two Stanford business students set out to make trousers that actually fitted, and the idea grew into a whole menswear brand, golf clothing included.

Its golf trousers come in up to five fits or six leg lengths, depending on the style.

However, when we tried to open bonobos.com from Britain, all we got was a page saying "Access denied".

So can a UK golfer buy Bonobos at all, and is it worth the trouble?

Here, I'll take you through who owns Bonobos now, what its golf range costs, how the fits work, and the main UK routes we found.

How We Review Golf Clothing Brands

Every review on the Three Putt journal is written by Graeme Whiles, the founder of Three Putt Golf Clothing. As a competing brand, we have an obvious conflict of interest. We take this seriously and address it directly in our review methodology, which explains how we assess brands consistently regardless of whether they compete with us.

Verdict: 5.8/10

Bonobos is an American menswear brand, built on chinos, that also makes golf trousers, shorts, polos and layers. We liked the golf trousers above all, with fits from Slim Taper to Athletic, waists from 28 to 46 inches and leg lengths from 26 to 36 inches, plus free US delivery and returns.

The brand is owned by WHP Global, and its website and shops are run by Phoenix Retail, the group that bought Express out of bankruptcy in 2024.

Where it falls short for UK golfers: bonobos.com doesn't deliver to the UK, Nordstrom is the main route we found, and its Trustpilot score is 1.9.

This brand is best for American golfers who struggle to find golf trousers that fit.

Key Features

• Signature tech/fabric: Stretch golf trousers, some in recycled polyester, with shirt-gripping waistbands and UPF ratings
• Design language: Smart, plain American menswear, with chino-style golf trousers and classic polos
• Fit profile: Trousers in Slim, Tailored, Athletic, Straight and Slim Taper fits, with waists from 28 to 46 inches and inseams from 26 to 36 inches
• Range depth: Golf shirts, trousers, shorts, outerwear and accessories, plus extended sizes. Men's only

Pros

• Trousers that fit: Up to five fits or six leg lengths, depending on the style, and Plugged In Golf said in 2020 it offered golfers the most fit options of any brand it had reviewed
• Extended sizes: A "Golf in Extended Sizes" section, and Tailored-fit trousers up to a 46-inch waist
• Free US delivery and returns: 45 days to return for a refund, or 90 days for store credit
• Guideshops: about 50 US fitting rooms in 2026, where you can try trousers on before you order

• Hard to reach from the UK: bonobos.com showed us an "Access denied" page every time we tried it from the UK
• Poor Trustpilot score: 1.9 from 34 reviews, with 59% of them one-star
• Golf isn't the focus: Its 2026 campaigns starred the actors Nicholas Braun and Jack Quaid, selling chinos and work trousers rather than golf clothing

Bonobos Pricing

Bonobos sits in the upper middle of the American market.

Its Performance Link Pants are $129. Earlier in 2026, the Highland Tour Golf Pants listed at $149, and the two golf polos we could price at $78 and $88. Several of those pieces were later reduced as Final Sale or sold out.

In Britain, Nordstrom's website sells three Bonobos golf trousers at about £100 each, before shipping, and US sellers list some on eBay UK.

We can't open bonobos.com from the UK, so the US prices below come from its product pages earlier in 2026. It moved to a new website in September 2026, and some older golf pieces may have been renamed or dropped since.

The table converts US prices at about $1.33 to £1, from the European Central Bank's reference rates on 27 October 2026, since Bonobos doesn't sell in pounds.

Category	Entry	Typical	Premium
Polos	£59	£59 to £66	£66
Midlayers	£89	£89 to £97	£97
Trousers/Shorts	£59	£97	£112

US prices on bonobos.com, 2026: Berwick Golf Polo $78, Flatiron Golf Polo $88, Fairgame Quarter Zip $119, Clubhouse Golf Half-Zip $129, Performance Link Shorts $99, Performance Link Pants $129, Highland Tour Golf Pants $149, Elements Shell Golf Jacket $189 and the Bonobos golf hat $40.

UK prices at Nordstrom.com, October 2026: Bonobos Performance Link, All Season Performance and All Season golf trousers about £100 each (£99.56 on 28 October, £99.71 on 30 October), with shipping worked out at checkout.

Comparison:

• Bonobos vs Three Putt: bonobos.com doesn't ship to Britain. Its Berwick Golf Polo was $78 on its US site. Three Putt is a UK brand with golf polos from £33.99 ($47), tees from £29.99 and hoodies from £49.99, with free UK delivery and free US delivery over $40.
• Bonobos vs Lululemon: Lululemon's ABC Slim-Fit Golf Trouser is £138 at full price on its UK site. That's more than Bonobos's $129 Performance Link Pants, but you can actually buy it in Britain, with free delivery over £50.
• Bonobos vs Linksoul: Linksoul's Icon Tour 5-Pocket Performance Pant is $130, almost exactly the same price, and its polos run $78 to $98. Bonobos has the fit options; Linksoul has the relaxed California look.
• Bonobos vs Holderness & Bourne: H&B's polos cost $115 to $160 on its US site. Bonobos's golf polos were $78 to $88 earlier in 2026, which makes them the cheaper American option.

Promos/Outlet Notes:

New email subscribers get 20% off their first order.

Earlier in 2026, Bonobos sold plenty of golf pieces at a discount, and many were marked Final Sale, which means no returns or exchanges.

In February 2026, for example, the $88 Flatiron Golf Polo was down to $28 as Final Sale.

Verdict: 6.0/10

Fair money for well-fitting trousers in America. In Britain, the only price that matters is Nordstrom's.

Bonobos Fit & Sizing (Usability)

This is where Bonobos earns its reputation.

Its help centre lists six trouser fits across the range: Slim, Tailored, Athletic, Straight, Slim Taper and Classic. Not every trouser comes in every fit, though.

Notes:

• Performance Link Pants: Slim, Tailored, Athletic and Slim Taper fits, in 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36-inch inseams.
• Waists: The Tailored-fit chart runs from 28 to 46 inches, while the Slim fit stops at 38.
• Highland Tour Golf Pants: Five fits, with waists from 28 to 42 inches and inseams from 28 to 34 inches.
• Shirts: Tailored, Slim and Athletic fits, with Athletic the roomiest.

Accessibility/Range:

• Extended sizes: Bonobos has a "Golf in Extended Sizes" section, and Nordstrom lists some of its golf trousers in Big and Tall.
• Lengths: Where a style has no exact inseams, Short is 30 inches or less, Regular 31 to 33 and Long 34 and up.

Verdict: 8.2/10

Brilliant fit options for golf trousers, if only UK golfers could buy them.

Bonobos Core Product Categories

Golf Trousers

The trousers are the reason to buy Bonobos.

The Performance Link Pants ($129) are 100% recycled polyester, with a slide-snap closure, a silicone shirt gripper and a secure zip pocket, and Nordstrom lists them with UPF 30+.

The Highland Tour Golf Pants ($149) add four-way stretch, a water-repellent DWR finish, UPF 50, an articulated knee and pockets built to save your scorecard.

Verdict: 8.0/10

Shorts

The Performance Link Shorts are $99, and the extended-size Highland Golf Shorts were $78 earlier in 2026.

They share the trousers' focus on fit, with a shirt-gripping waistband on the Highland.

Verdict: 7.0/10

Polos

The polos are solid, if unremarkable.

The Berwick Golf Polo ($78) is a standard fit with a sport-length body and a slightly longer tail, and the Flatiron Golf Polo ($88) is a slim-fit 93% polyester and 7% spandex.

Neither has the fit options that make the trousers special.

Verdict: 6.6/10

Midlayers & Outerwear

The Fairgame Quarter Zip ($119) is 70% recycled polyester and built to add warmth without bulk.

The Clubhouse Golf Half-Zip ($129, later $59 as Final Sale) is a softer 90% cotton and 10% Tencel. The Elements Shell Golf Jacket ($189, later $99 as Final Sale) was water resistant with sealed seams, but not sold as waterproof.

The oddest piece was the Fielder Convertible Windbreaker ($50, later $40 as Final Sale), which came with a detachable bucket hat.

Verdict: 6.0/10

Bonobos Materials & Tech (Construction, Sustainability)

Bonobos gives its golf fabrics few branded names. The main one is M-Flex, used for stretch panels on the Highland Tour pants and in an M-Flex Golf Polo.

Its golf page promises lightweight stretch fabrics that breathe, wick sweat and protect against the sun, and the product pages give the blends.

Backend (manufacturing & standards):

• Who owns it: WHP Global owns the Bonobos brand, which it bought from Walmart in 2023 for a reported $50 million. Walmart had paid $310 million for Bonobos in 2017.
• Who runs it: Phoenix Retail LLC, formed by WHP Global with Simon Property Group, Brookfield Properties and Centennial Real Estate, bought Express's business out of bankruptcy in 2024. It runs Bonobos's US website and stores, and Greg Scott is its chief executive.
• Origin: The product pages we read say only "Imported".
• Recycled content: The Performance Link Pants are 100% recycled polyester, and the Fairgame Quarter Zip is 70% recycled.

Application (on-garment features):

• Performance Link Pants: Slide-snap closure, silicone shirt gripper, secure zip pocket and quick-dry fabric.
• Highland Tour Golf Pants: 96% polyester and 4% elastane, with four-way stretch, a DWR finish and UPF 50.
• Clubhouse Golf Half-Zip: 90% cotton and 10% Tencel.
• Elements Shell Golf Jacket: Water resistant with sealed seams and a mesh vent on the back.

Verdict: 6.8/10

Practical fabrics, clear blends and some recycled content. Nothing on where it's made.

Bonobos Customer Support

For Americans, the policies are clear and delivery and returns are free, though recent Trustpilot reviewers complain about slow replies. For UK golfers, there's very little to deal with at all.

Channels & Hours

• Phone and email: 1-877-294-7737 or guides@bonobos.com.
• Live chat: Monday to Friday, 9am to 8pm, and weekends, 11am to 8pm, US Eastern time.
• Guideshops: 53 US fitting rooms on its help centre's October 2026 list, where you try things on and your order ships to your home.

Policies

• US returns: Unworn, unwashed and unaltered items within 45 days of shipping for a refund, or 90 days for store credit, with a prepaid label.
• Exchanges: The help centre says Bonobos no longer does direct exchanges, so you return the item and order again.
• Final Sale: No returns or exchanges at all.

Self-Serve

• US delivery: Free UPS ground shipping on every US order, and free returns.
• UK delivery: None from bonobos.com. Its help centre lists seven countries outside the US, and the UK isn't one of them.
• Nordstrom: It ships a few Bonobos golf trousers to the UK, and says most in-stock items arrive in an estimated 5 to 13 business days. Taxes and duty are added at checkout, and international orders get no free returns.

Verdict: 4.0/10

Clear policies for Americans. From Britain, the only way in is Nordstrom.

What Are Bonobos's Review Ratings from Review Sites?

(As of October 2026)

• On-site: We couldn't read Bonobos's own product reviews from the UK.
• Trustpilot: 1.9 from 34 reviews on an unclaimed profile, with 59% one-star. Bonobos has never invited customers to review there, so it's a small sample.
• Editorial: Plugged In Golf's 2020 review said Bonobos offered golfers the most fit options of any brand it had reviewed, and GolfWRX liked its Justin Rose polo in 2021.
• Credibility Signals: Justin Rose signed in 2019 as its first sponsored pro, co-designed a collection in 2021 and was still called a Bonobos ambassador by Golf Digest in 2023. Nordstrom stocks its golf trousers.

Synthesis:

Golf reviewers in 2020 and 2021 rated the fit. Recent Trustpilot reviewers are less kind, with complaints about slow replies, fit and Final Sale terms.

Is Bonobos a Good Golf Brand?

For American golfers who struggle with trouser fit, yes.

Few golf brands offer as many trouser fits and leg lengths, and free US delivery and returns make it easy to try them.

However, for UK golfers it's barely an option. bonobos.com won't deliver here, and Nordstrom's trousers, at about £100, come with shipping, taxes and no free returns.

If you're in America, or visiting, try the trousers. From Britain, there are easier options.

If you want golf clothing from a UK brand that sells direct, Three Putt's golf polos start at £33.99 and our heavyweight hoodies at £49.99, with free UK delivery on every order.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bonobos

Who owns Bonobos?

WHP Global owns the Bonobos brand. Walmart bought Bonobos for $310 million in 2017 and sold it in 2023, with WHP Global paying $50 million for the brand and Express running the business. After Express went bankrupt in 2024, Phoenix Retail, a group led by WHP Global, bought its operations and now runs Bonobos's US website and stores.

Does Bonobos ship to the UK?

No. Bonobos's help centre says it ships to Canada, Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Peru and Madagascar outside the US, and the UK isn't on the list. When we tried bonobos.com from Britain, it showed an "Access denied" page. The main UK route we found is Nordstrom's website, which ships some Bonobos golf trousers here, and US sellers list some on eBay UK.

Can I buy Bonobos golf trousers in the UK?

Mainly through Nordstrom.com, as far as we could find, though US sellers list some on eBay UK. Nordstrom lists three Bonobos golf trousers at about £100 each, with shipping, taxes and duty worked out at checkout and an estimated 5 to 13 business days for delivery. International returns aren't free. We found no Bonobos golf clothing at GolfOnline or on Amazon UK.

What fits do Bonobos golf trousers come in?

Bonobos lists six trouser fits across its range: Slim, Tailored, Athletic, Straight, Slim Taper and Classic, though not every trouser comes in every fit. The Performance Link Pants come in four fits and six inseams, from 26 to 36 inches, with waists up to 46 inches in the Tailored fit. The Highland Tour Golf Pants come in five fits.

Are Bonobos golf trousers waterproof?

No. The Highland Tour Golf Pants have a water-repellent DWR finish, and Nordstrom describes the All Season Performance Golf Pants as designed to help repel water, but neither is sold as waterproof. Bonobos's Elements Shell Golf Jacket is water resistant too. For proper rain gear, look at a specialist waterproof brand.

Does Justin Rose still wear Bonobos?

As far as we can tell, yes, though Bonobos hasn't said so in 2026. Rose signed with Bonobos for 2019 as its first sponsored pro golfer, and co-designed a Justin Rose Golf Collection in March 2021. Golf Digest called him a Bonobos ambassador in 2023, and a March 2026 sponsor round-up still lists Bonobos as his apparel partner.

What is a Bonobos Guideshop?

A Guideshop is a Bonobos fitting room. You book an appointment, try trousers and shirts on with a Guide, and your order is shipped to your home. In October 2026 its help centre listed 53 Guideshops, and you can return online orders there too. There are none in the UK.

Are Bonobos golf trousers worth it?

For American golfers who can't find trousers that fit, yes. At $129 for the Performance Link Pants they're not cheap, but the choice of fits, waists and leg lengths is rare. One Trustpilot reviewer complained that their Course Legend golf pants were thin and stained easily. For UK golfers, Nordstrom's price of about £100 plus shipping, in one fit, makes them hard to justify.
