We test golf apparel the way we play. Hard, social, and honest.
Two UK golf brands that barely overlap. Reflo makes recycled performance kit for the round, and Three Putt makes heavyweight graphic streetwear for everything around it.
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 and Quick Pick
Reflo is a British sustainable sportswear brand, backed by Harry Kane, selling £49–£79 golf polos, stretch trousers and water-resistant layers made mostly from recycled polyester. Three Putt is a Leeds golf streetwear brand selling tees, long-sleeves, sweatshirts and hoodies from £23.99. Play in Reflo, and wear Three Putt off the course.
Best for golf style off the course, for less: Three Putt. Heavyweight tees and hoodies with golf graphics, from £23.99 to £54.99, with free UK delivery. It is casual wear for the clubhouse, the range and the drive home, not technical kit.

Brand Overview
Three Putt Golf
Three Putt is a UK golf streetwear brand based in Leeds. The range is deliberately narrow: tees, long-sleeve tees, sweatshirts and hoodies.
Each comes in six graphic designs: Contours, Happy Place, Tee Time, Reckless Driving, The Scenic Route and Three on the Green. The idea is golf culture you can wear anywhere, not a full on-course wardrobe.
That brings honest limits. There are no polos, trousers, shorts, outerwear, waterproofs or caps, and no women's-specific line. If your club has a collared-shirt dress code, you will need a polo from elsewhere.
Reflo
Reflo is a British sustainable sportswear brand, founded in 2021 by Rory MacFadyen and Peter Philippou. Its stated ambition is to become "the most sustainable sportswear brand in the world". Golf sits alongside training and padel kit, plus teamkit for motorsport partners such as Jaguar TCS Racing and Atlassian Williams F1.
England captain Harry Kane led its seed round in 2024 and is its global brand ambassador. The R&A has licensed Reflo to make official Open collections two years running: the Giants capsule for Royal Portrush in 2025, then Living Links for Royal Birkdale in 2026.
The golf range covers polos, tees, chinos, trousers, shorts, quarter-zips, hoodies, gilets, light jackets and caps. There is no women's or junior golf range: women's sizes appear only in some motorsport teamkit. Its buyers rate the kit highly, with on-site product reviews averaging 4.72 out of 5 from 377 reviews in October 2026.
Key Features and Fabrics
Three Putt Golf
- Tees: 100% cotton, 260gsm, relaxed fit, S–3XL, five colourways per design.
- Long-sleeve tees: 280gsm, 85% cotton / 15% polyester, loose drop-shoulder fit, S–2XL.

- Hoodies: 430gsm, 56% cotton / 44% polyester, oversized drop-shoulder fit, S–2XL, four colourways per design.
These are heavyweight casual garments, not technical performance wear. Don't expect moisture-wicking, stretch fabric or weather protection.
Reflo
- Polos: the £49 Bohai is a 185gsm micro pique mesh in 100% recycled polyester, with moisture-wicking and a UPF 50+ claim. The Yamuna and the 95gsm Makalu are also 100% recycled, and the Tagus is 92% recycled with 8% elastane.
- Where the recycled share drops: the £79 Tummel polo is 52% recycled polyester and 48% virgin polyester, and the £55 Elgon is 42% recycled. Each product page lists its own mix.
- Trousers: the £89 Sidra chinos are 88% recycled polyester and 12% spandex, with coffee-infused yarn for odour control and four-way stretch. The £99 Brembo trousers add zip pockets, an anti-slip waistband and an eco water-repellent coating.
- Layers: the £89 Namhan quarter-zip is 80% recycled polyester and 20% elastane. The £79 Lapter hoodie is 92% recycled polyester with a brushed back, and the Dochart gilet is insulated with Repreve recycled fibres.
- Jackets: the £119 Adda windbreaker, £129 Evenden and £140 Parbat, a light packable ripstop, are all water-resistant only. Reflo makes no fully waterproof golf jacket.

Reflo prices are full prices on reflo.com in October 2026, shown to UK visitors in pounds. A Three Putt tee and hoodie together cost £69.98–£81.98, roughly the price of one £79 Tummel polo.
Price Verdict
Three Putt is cheaper wherever the two overlap, and UK delivery is free. Its hoodies cost £45.99–£54.99 against £79 and up at Reflo, though Reflo's are recycled performance layers rather than heavyweight cotton-rich hoodies. For kit to play in, Reflo's £49 Bohai is sharp value. The rest of the core range climbs to £79 polos and £99 trousers, and orders under £70 pay £4.99 delivery.
Fit and Sizing
Three Putt Golf
Three Putt sizes run S–3XL on tees and S–2XL on everything else. Tees have a relaxed fit, long-sleeves a loose drop shoulder and sweatshirts a regular fit. Hoodies are oversized with a drop shoulder, so size down if you want a closer look.
Reflo
Reflo uses one men's size chart, with UK and US sizes side by side. UK sizes run from XS (36-inch chest) to 4XL (50-inch chest), and the US label sits one size smaller, so a UK medium is a US small. Most golf polos, hoodies and jackets are listed in XS–3XL.
Each product page names the cut. The Bohai polo and Sidra chinos are labelled Regular Fit, while the Tummel polo and Lapter hoodie are Athletic Fit. Trousers come in 28–40 waists with no short or long leg options, and the Scioto shorts run to a 44 waist.
Fit Verdict
Reflo wins on golf fit: XS to 3XL in most pieces, a regular or athletic cut to choose from, and stretch where you swing. Three Putt's cuts are roomier and simpler, made for wearing rather than swinging. Reflo's trousers come in one leg length, and neither brand has a women's golf fit.
Style and Versatility
Three Putt Golf
Three Putt is golf streetwear: golf-themed graphics on heavyweight fabric, cut in relaxed and oversized shapes. A hoodie works for a casual range session, the pub after a round or a weekend layer. It is not the right shirt for a members' competition at a traditional club, so check your golf dress code first.
Reflo
Reflo's look is clean and tonal, in muted colours and technical fabrics, with louder prints saved for partner and Open collections. Its polos pass a collared-shirt dress code, and the hoodies and quarter-zips cross over to the gym. Off the course, it reads as athleisure rather than streetwear.
Style Verdict
Reflo dresses the round, and Three Putt dresses everything around it, from the car park to the bar. If you want your clothes to say "golfer" in the pub, Three Putt says it louder. If you want kit that moves from the first tee to a gym session, Reflo is the better fit.
Quality, Durability and Sustainability
Three Putt Golf
Three Putt's quality story is weight. Tees are 260gsm cotton, sweatshirts 400gsm and hoodies 430gsm, built for warmth and structure rather than airflow. They are casual garments, so there is no wicking, stretch or weather protection to judge them on. On sustainability, Three Putt makes no recycled-content or eco claims. Its tees are 100% cotton.
Reflo
This is Reflo's clearest win, and it is fair to say so. Each golf garment's product page states its recycled content, from 42% in the Elgon polo to 100% in the Bohai, Yamuna and Makalu. That is more than many golf brands publish about their fabrics.
There are caveats. Reflo says its fabrics "adhere to multiple sustainability certifications", but its site doesn't name any. "Recycled" also covers a wide range, so check the label if the number matters to you. Its own care advice suggests a microfibre-catching wash bag, an honest nod to recycled polyester's shedding problem.
The weather is the other limit. Reflo's golf jackets are water-resistant only, so wet-weather golfers will need rainwear from elsewhere. Our guide to the best waterproof golf clothing covers that gap.
Quality Verdict
Reflo wins on sustainability and technical build. Recycled content is stated garment by garment, even if certifications go unnamed and the mix drops to 42% in places. Three Putt wins on heavyweight cotton for casual wear, and it makes no green claims to weigh up.

Support Verdict
Reflo wins on returns: 30 days, free within the UK, with exchanges. Three Putt wins on delivery, which costs nothing anywhere in the UK, against Reflo's £4.99 below £70. Three Putt's return window is 14 days, at your own cost. Support is email-only at both, and Reflo publishes weekday hours.
Our Pick
Buy Reflo if you want kit to play golf in and care what it's made from. The £49 Bohai polo is the obvious starting point, and the £89 Sidra chinos are the signature piece. Check each label if recycled content matters to you, because it runs from 42% to 100%. Order over £70 to skip the £4.99 delivery charge.
Buy Three Putt for golf style off the course and on relaxed dry days, with free UK delivery. Heavyweight tees from £23.99 and hoodies under £52 cover the clubhouse and the drive home. A sweatshirt or long-sleeve tee rounds it out. Golfers at collared-shirt clubs will still need a polo from elsewhere.
The two sit together easily: a Reflo polo for the round, and a Three Putt hoodie for the walk to the bar. For more home-grown labels, see our guide to UK golf brands.

Frequently Asked Questions About Three Putt vs Reflo
Is Three Putt a good alternative to Reflo?
Only off the course. Three Putt sells heavyweight tees, long-sleeves, sweatshirts and hoodies from £23.99 with free UK delivery. There are no polos, trousers or outerwear, and nothing is built for wicking, stretch or rain. It can't replace Reflo's polos or chinos for a round, but it costs less for clubhouse and weekend wear.
Which is better on the course?
Reflo, clearly. Its polos are lightweight recycled polyester, from the 95gsm Makalu to the 185gsm Bohai with its UPF 50+ claim. Its chinos and trousers have four-way stretch, though its golf jackets are water-resistant only. Three Putt's cotton tees and hoodies suit a relaxed round on a dry day, but offer no technical performance and no collar.
Is Reflo more sustainable than Three Putt?
Yes, on what each brand publishes. Reflo states recycled content garment by garment, from 42% to 100% recycled polyester, and uses coffee-infused yarn and recycled insulation in some pieces. Its site mentions sustainability certifications but names none. Three Putt makes no recycled-content or eco claims. Its tees are 100% cotton.
How do the fits differ?
Reflo uses one men's chart, with most golf pieces in XS–3XL and each item labelled Regular Fit or Athletic Fit. A UK medium is a US small, and trousers come in 28–40 waists with one leg length. Three Putt's cuts are roomier: relaxed tees in S–3XL, and oversized drop-shoulder hoodies and other pieces in S–2XL.
Which is better value?
It depends on the job. For golf kit, Reflo's £49 Bohai polo is fair money for recycled performance fabric, though polos run to £79 and trousers to £99. For casual wear, Three Putt is far cheaper. The whole range sits between £23.99 and £54.99, and a tee plus a hoodie costs about the same as one £79 Reflo polo.
Which is easier to buy and return in the UK?
Reflo's returns are more generous: 30 days from delivery, free within the UK, with exchanges. Its delivery costs £4.99 on orders under £70, and international ordering was suspended in October 2026. Three Putt offers free UK delivery and accepts returns within 14 days of delivery. Email support first, and you pay the return postage.
Do Reflo or Three Putt make women's golf clothing?
Not as a dedicated range. Reflo has no women's or junior golf range, and women's sizes appear only in some of its motorsport teamkit. Three Putt has no women's-specific range either. A golfer who wants clothing cut for women, on or off the course, will be better served by a brand that designs for them.
