The Best Golf Clothing Brands for Men To Wear At the Country Club and Beyond

For years, golf has struggled to appeal to a younger audience. The stereotype of the old white man golfing at a posh country club surrounded with high-grade security swiftly snubs out any thoughts of taking up such a sport.

The good news is that stereotype is starting to weaken — and you can make an argument fashion is at the forefront of the sport’s coming renaissance. Golf is filled with tradition and rich history. It’s got a distinct culture, too. Many fashion-forward entrepreneurs and companies have started to tap into that history, fusing the best performance materials with amazing styles and designs in the pieces one wears while golfing. From casual, comfortable garments to wild and loud pieces, these brands are heightening the experience of playing 18 holes — no matter if it’s your first time at the course, or your five-hundredth.
