We test golf apparel the way we play. Hard, social, and honest.
Loud prints from the land of lakes and deer stands. Waggle is personality golfwear with a proper Midwestern accent.

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: 7.7/10
Waggle Golf was founded in 2018 by Travis Baker in his basement after a Jimmy Buffett concert made him wonder why golfers don’t dress like Parrotheads. Eight years on it has a 45,000 sq ft Minnesota HQ, three of its own stores, and shelf space in DICK’S, Scheels, PGA TOUR Superstore, and Academy. We liked the flat $69 polo pricing, the family-matching prints, the genuinely clever Repel hats, and a 45-day return window that beats almost everyone.
Where it falls short is transparency: no fabric percentages, no country of manufacture, no sustainability programme, and a size chart that’s more vibes than measurements. The hunting-and-fishing print themes will also land differently on a UK course than a Minnesota lake.
This brand is best for golfers who treat loud gear as a personality, and for families who want matching polos on holiday.
Key Features
- Signature tech/fabric: Polyester-spandex performance blends (“ultra-breathable, moisture-wicking, anti-wrinkle”) with UPF 40+ button-downs and UPF 50+ layers
- Design language: Loud, punny, Midwest-outdoors: hunting, fishing, lake life, farm, and western themes alongside golf prints
- Fit profile: Athletic and true to size, with official advice to size up if between sizes
- Range depth: Men’s, women’s, and youth apparel, eight hat styles, golf bags, and matching-family prints
Pros
- Flat $69 polos undercut nearly every “loud print” rival
- Whole-family matching: men’s, women’s, and youth in the same prints, rare in golfwear
- Feature-dense Repel hats: water-resistant, floating brim, magnetic ball marker, tee holder
- 45-day returns and an actual phone line
Cons
- No fabric compositions or country of manufacture published anywhere
- No sustainability programme or certifications at all
- No waterproofs, knitwear, gloves, or belts; lifestyle range outpaces the golf tech
- UK buyers pay return postage both ways on returns and exchanges
Waggle Golf Pricing
Waggle keeps it simple: every men’s and women’s polo is $69, button-downs are $59, and quarter-zips cluster at $79. A sitewide “20% off in cart” summer promo was running as we wrote this, which tells you how the brand thinks about pricing: accessible first. International shipping is a flat $9.99, among the cheapest we’ve seen from a US golf brand, though orders over $200 attract customer-paid duties.

Approximate GBP equivalents of US pricing (tees $25–$45, polos $69 flat, quarter-zips $79–$84, hoodies $59–$99, pants $79–$92, jackets $99–$129, hats $35, Repel hats $59) before the flat $9.99 international shipping and any duties over $200.
Comparison:
- Waggle vs Three Putt: Both bring personality to the course, but Three Putt’s UK-based streetwear staples (£31.99 tees, £78.99 hoodies) skip the transatlantic postage and the deer-stand prints. Waggle wins on sheer pattern chaos; Three Putt wins on wearability and logistics.
- Waggle vs Swannies Golf: The Minnesota derby. Swannies has the stronger fabric story (REPREVE recycled polys) and pro-shop pedigree; Waggle is cheaper at typical prices, ships internationally for $9.99, and actually accepts international returns.
- Waggle vs Lululemon Golf: Different sports entirely. Lululemon is premium fabric engineering with UK stores and free returns; Waggle is $69 polos with roosters on them. Nobody cross-shops these, but the price gap (£78 vs £54 polos) is smaller than the image gap.
- Waggle vs Redvanly: Opposites. Redvanly’s $110 tailored polos whisper country club; Waggle’s $69 Fowl Play polo shouts duck blind. Redvanly for the member-guest, Waggle for the buddies trip.
Promos/Outlet Notes: A permanent sale rail runs 30–48% off (polos $69 to $45, hats to $25, boxers to $15), seasonal sitewide promos like the current 20%-off-in-cart, BOGO swim shorts, a 15% GovX military/first-responder discount, group pricing for 8+ orders, an app with app-only codes, and a Waggle Rewards loyalty scheme. No first-order signup discount, interestingly.
Verdict: 8.2/10
Some of the most accessible pricing in personality golfwear, backed by a genuinely reasonable $9.99 international rate. Value is the brand’s quiet superpower.
Waggle Golf Fit & Sizing (Usability)
Waggle describes its gear as athletic fit and true to size, with the standard advice to size up if between sizes, and reviewers broadly agree, noting it runs slightly snug. Product pages helpfully list fabric feel, garment weight, and a model reference (the polo model is 6’0", 180lb in a medium), which partly compensates for a basic size chart.
Notes:
- Polos/Tees: Athletic without being tight; 8oz fabric feels light in the heat. The Hybrid and Sleeveless women’s polos follow the same sizing.
- Midlayers: Quarter-zips (12oz) run true; the heavyweight 22oz hoodies are cut roomier for layering.
- Trousers/Shorts: The Ace Pant chino comes in proper 30x28–42x34 sizing: twenty combinations, which shames most creator brands.
- Outerwear: The sherpa-lined Playmaker runs generous; the packable Sagebrush anorak is trimmer.
- Heat/Humidity: Poly-spandex blends breathe well, and UPF 40+ button-downs and UPF 50+ layers add real sun protection.
- Size Charts: A single image-based comparison chart: functional, but thin next to the per-garment measurements the best brands publish.
Accessibility/Range:
- Men’s XS–3XL; women’s XS–2XL (pants to 3XL); youth sizes across boys and girls.
- Hats fit up to 7¾, so big-headed golfers are actually catered for.
- Family-matching prints across men’s, women’s, and youth are the standout inclusivity play.
Verdict: 7.6/10
True-to-size athletic fits with proper numeric trouser sizing, held back by a basic size chart and slightly snug tendencies.
Waggle Golf Core Product Categories
Polos & Tees
Every polo is $69, and every one is a conversation: Fowl Play (ducks), Deer Stand, Rack Star, High Roller. Women’s polos match at $69 in standard, hybrid, and sleeveless cuts. Graphic tees run $39, the Hexcore performance tee $45, and the UPF 40+ short-sleeve button-downs at $59 (Muskied, Migration, Wake Life) are a sneaky-good holiday shirt.
Verdict: 7.9/10

Midlayers (crews/hoodies/half-zips)
Quarter-zips sit at $79–$84 (Stag Twilight, Sunday), with the women’s Refresh adding UPF 50+. Hoodies run from the $59 Featherlight to the $84 Core and the $99 wind-resistant Zenith Zip. Solid, well-priced layers, though with no knitwear or sweaters, the clubhouse end of the wardrobe is thin.
Verdict: 7.6/10

Trousers/Shorts
A more complete bottoms range than most loud-print rivals: Momentum Shorts $59, Scramble Shorts $69, Core Sweatpant $79, Greenside Jogger $85, and the Ace Pant chino at $92 with silicone-grip waistband and made-to-move stretch. Women get $65 skorts, $59 shorts, and ankle pants. Swim shorts (with a BOGO deal) blur into lake-life territory.
Verdict: 7.4/10
Outerwear
The Sagebrush Albatross Anorak ($99, self-packing, water-resistant), Endeavor Jacket ($109), and sherpa-lined Playmaker ($129) cover wind and cold snaps, but there are no true waterproofs or rain suits, which limits year-round UK use.
Verdict: 7.2/10
Caps & Accessories
The brand’s DNA. OG snapbacks at $35, youth at $34, and the $59 Repel line (water-resistant, fully perforated, floating brim, magnetic ball-marker, and a tee holder), which golf reviewers rate among the best hats they’ve owned. The $49 HatShield six-hat travel case and the $399 Members Hybrid golf bag (14 slots, cooler pocket, carbon-fibre stand, in Duck Blind and Hunting Season prints) complete the picture.
Verdict: 8.3/10
Waggle Golf Materials & Tech (Construction, Sustainability)
Waggle’s on-garment claims are decent (breathability, wicking, anti-wrinkle, UPF ratings, garment weights published per product), but the backend is a black box. No fibre percentages, no factory locations, no certifications.
Backend (manufacturing & standards):
- Fabric stated only as “polyester-spandex blend”; no compositions published anywhere.
- Country of manufacture is not disclosed.
- No sustainability certifications, programmes, or eco claims anywhere on the site.
- Founder Travis Baker’s supply-chain background (Best Buy, 3M demand planning) shows in the operation, less so in the disclosure.
Application (on-garment features):
- Polos: ultra-breathable, moisture-wicking, anti-wrinkle, non-restrictive; 8oz weight.
- Button-downs: UPF 40+ Outpost line; layers: UPF 50+ Featherlight hoodie and Refresh quarter-zip, plus a dedicated UV Protection collection.
- Ace Pant: made-to-move stretch with silicone-grip waistband.
- Repel hats: water-resistant polyester, perforated panels, floating brim, magnetic marker, tee holder.
- Playmaker: sherpa-lined winter warmth; Sagebrush: packs into its own pocket.
Verdict: 6.8/10
Genuinely useful on-garment features (UPF ratings, published weights, clever hats) sitting on top of zero supply-chain transparency.
Waggle Golf Customer Support
Waggle’s support setup is stronger than most brands in this bracket, with a real phone line, generous windows, and three physical stores. International customers get a workable-but-not-generous deal.
Channels & Hours
- Phone: 651-313-5961, 8am–4pm CST, plus email (support@getyourwaggleon.com) and a contact form.
- No live chat, and no published response-time promise.
- Three retail stores (Blaine and Maple Grove, Minnesota; Coralville, Iowa) accept free in-store returns.
Policies
- 45-day return and exchange window, longer than nearly every rival.
- US returns carry a $6 handling fee; US exchanges are free.
- International customers (including UK) pay return postage on both returns and exchanges.
- Final-sale exclusions are narrow: just the Caddie boxers and Wavelength socks. Loop-powered returns portal.
Self-Serve
- Ships from Blaine, Minnesota within 2 business days; US delivery 2–5 days.
- International shipping is a flat $9.99; free shipping thresholds ($100 US) don’t apply to the UK.
- Orders over $200 attract customer-paid taxes and duties, so keep baskets under that line where possible.
Verdict: 7.4/10
A 45-day window, free US exchanges, and a phone number put Waggle ahead of most DTC golf brands; UK buyers just need to factor in return postage and the $200 duties line.
What Are Waggle Golf’s Review Ratings from Review Sites?
(As of July 2026)
- Trustpilot: No profile for the apparel brand: the “Waggle” on Trustpilot is an unrelated pet-tech company, so ignore it.
- On-site (Loox verified): 4.8/5 from 7,612 reviews: substantial volume for a brand this age.
- Editorial: Independent Golf Reviews covered the Spring 2026 line and called the fabric “outstanding” and the hats “some of the best for comfort and breathability”; WiscoGolfAddict praised “great quality material and top-notch stitching”; Fourteen40 called the polos “an incredible value.”
- Celebrity & Community: Worn by Dak Prescott, TJ Watt, and Chris Sale per the brand; no signed tour ambassadors. The charity story is real and local: Waggle partners with Special Olympics Minnesota, whose 24-Hour Hole-In-One Challenge raised $14.1K in 2025 (one edition was played in a blizzard). Socials: 83K Instagram, 43K TikTok.
Synthesis:
The product reviews are consistently strong (fabric, stitching, and especially hats), and the value story holds up. What’s missing is independent third-party review volume and any transparency on materials sourcing. A likeable brand whose reputation currently rests on its own channels.
Is Waggle a Good Golf Brand?
Yes, Waggle is a good golf brand for golfers who want maximum personality per pound. Flat $69 polos, standout $59 Repel hats, proper numeric trouser sizing, family-matching prints, and a 45-day return window make it one of the best-value loud brands in golf, and the Special Olympics Minnesota partnership gives it real heart. The trade-offs are zero supply-chain transparency, no waterproofs or knitwear, and prints that lean harder into duck blinds than most UK clubhouses will. If you want bold golfwear that’s designed for British golf culture and ships domestically, Three Putt delivers the personality without the postage.
