Best Golf Gift Cards

The best golf gift cards are great for those who are not sure what to give a golfer in their life as present

• What to consider

Coupon Discount Codes

Golf gifts cards are a neat way to avoid having to winkle out of someone what they want - is it a new driver, a new putter, some better waterproofs, a handy training aid that has caught their eye, or perhaps just some tees and golf balls? An easy way is to let the golfer choose for themselves: simply give them one of the best golf gift cards on the market. Importantly most retailers offer several amounts so you can spend as much as you like on a gift card, and you can also either get physical or electronic ones as well so there is a degree of flexibility available. 

Also for more gift ideas have a look at some of our other guides on the best golf gifts , best golf club sets for beginners , or maybe even some funny golf gifts.

Why you can trust Golf Monthly Our expert reviewers spend hours testing and comparing products and services so you can choose the best for you. Find out more about how we test .

Amazon gift cards come in a number of different styles and denominations, from standard cards to gift boxes and E vouchers. The retailer boasts that the gift cards are redeemable towards millions of items on Amazon so they don't have to just be spent on golf items. 

But if the intention is that you recipient will get themselves something for their golf, then Amazon have more than 100,000 golf-related products on each of their US and UK sites. 

Rock Bottom Golf offer either traditional or electronic gift cards. The traditional cards come in $10, $25, $50 and $100 denominations. Or you can choose your own value with an e-card. 

As well as new equipment, Rock Bottom Golf also offers some pre-owned equipment. Its '30-Day Playability Guarantee' allows buyers to return the selected pre-owned items for store credit if the purchaser does not find it suits their game. 

Walmart's golf section is huge ranging from g olf club sets , to balls to bags with some well-trusted and respected golf brands. There is also an endless amount of non-golfing products that can be bought at the store, too, using these gift cards. 

There are loads of cards to choose from in terms of design and price, whilst you can also get cards for specific brands like Starbucks, Playstation, Uber and many, many more. The Netflix card in particular is a popular choice. 

Whatever piece of golf equipment you need, PGA Tour Superstore has you covered and the great thing about the gift cards is you can get an electronic one, or a physical card as well. 

With the e-card you can easily send it to the recipient's email address with a message and there doesn't appear to be a limit on the dollar amount you can use either. 

Want a new Nike golf shirt or some new Nike golf shoes ? Well the brand does gift cards to help people complete their golf look and they have several amounts for you to choose from.

Also the great thing here is you are not limited to golf stuff because Nike make so many different products across a variety of sports and activities. 

But if you aren't a fan of Nike and want adidas, then there are also gift cards available from the brand. Once again you can get electronic and physical cards, as well as Bulk gift cards with a minimum of $250. 

We love adidas golf shoes and always need a new pair of running shoes so these cards might come in very handy for the Golf Monthly team.

Scottsdale Golf is an excellent golf retailer with loads of golf equipment especially through the online store. The vouchers range from £10 to £250 whilst you can also get these cool Fit-Build-Play vouchers too which is basically a club-fitting. These range from £50 to £200 and cover nearly every golf club in the bag.

These are valid for use online or in the Manchester, UK store. Vouchers have to be spent within 12 months from the date of purchase. 

UK retailer Sports Direct has a range of golf products as well as many general sports and leisure ones, including an extensive clothing department. 

Although they are carry an extensive range of Slazenger equipment, they also stock several other well-known golf brands such as Callaway, Mizuno, Titleist and TaylorMade . Their gift cards are available to spend both in store and online. The gift cards range from £5 to £250 and are valid for 24 months.

This card gives you more than 70 sports to chose products from. But on the golfing front as well as a range of clothing, Decathlon stocks a full range of equipment and accessories. The Decathlon gift card is valid for two years from the date of purchase.

Gift cards start at £10 and go up to £200. A £20 gift card could get the recipient a dozen Decathlon Inesis Tour 900 balls , which Golf Monthly has found to be one of the strongest performers in the low-cost ball category.

What to consider when buying a gift card

There a few factors you need to consider when buying a golf gift card and we have gone into those below. 

First things first it is important you think about which retailer you want to use when purchasing a gift card. Some websites have a lot more stock not just when it comes to specific sections like apparel, but also a good range across the board whether that be clubs, balls , bags, shoes , accessories and so on. This is important because when gifting the card, you want to know that the person can buy whatever they want or need on the retailer you picked. 

Additionally is the retailer golf specific? Because we have included gift cards from Amazon, Walmart and Decathlon, all of which offer lots of different products inside and outside the world of golf. 

Of course have a think about how much you want the gift card to be and obviously choose a retailer that offers lots of different gift cards so you are covered regardless of price point. 

What do you get someone obsessed with golf?

We have found this to be a very common question and there are several ways to answer it. For a start, it would be wise to ask the person what they would like because this is a sure fire way to get them what they want. However if you are very unsure, a good way of solving this issue is to invest in a gift card or voucher at a golf retailer. This shows you know they love their golf and yet you are giving them the opportunity to pick out anything they want from that store or retailer. 

Which gift card is the most popular?

From a golf perspective we have found that Amazon gift cards prove very popular because of the choice on the website, and the ability to pick something from outside of the golf world. Walmart is the same really. In terms of specific golf retailers, Scottsdale Golf and Rock Bottom Golf both offer a wide range of cards and have a lot of stock from clubs, to bags, to accessories. 

We hope you enjoyed this guide on the best golf gift cards.

The Grove’s golfing complex opened to a fanfare of publicity, having been designed by Kyle Phillips , who shot to fame with his incredible creation at Kingsbarns. His terrific layout at The Grove has lived up to its billing, and successfully hosted the world’s best professionals for the American Express World Golf Championship in 2006 which was won by former world no. 1 Tiger Woods.

The Grove also played host to the 2016 British Masters, which had returned to The European Tour schedule in 2015 after an 8 years absence. The tournament was hosted by also a former world no. 1 Luke Donald.

The 7,152 yard course is a resort style stadium track that you may think would be more at home in America, with its massive, undulating greens and expanses of sand. But The Grove has been a welcome addition to the United Kingdom's golfing portfolio, and is ideally equipped to play host to the foremost professional tournaments. 

Phillips has blended his golf course into the natural surroundings with great sympathy, and has used the latest technology, including cutting-edge A4 creeping bent grass to ensure firm, fast putting surfaces. Among many fantastic holes is the superb 4th, a daunting par-3 which requires a good long iron to carry the water, characterising the memorable experience of a round on Phillips' truly excellent club.

2016 British Masters

As mentioned, The Grove played host to the 2016 British Masters with a high-profile field including the likes of Lee Westwood, Graeme McDowell, Matthew Fitzpatrick and The 2012 Ryder Cup Captain Jose Maria Olazabal. All the players commented on the fantastic condition the course was in, and in particular the super slick greens which added to the challenge. Alex Noren of Sweden came out on top come Sunday with an impressive score of 18 under par. He birdied two of the last 4 holes on Sunday to win the event by 2 shots ahead of Bernd Wiesberger. 

The Grove is ranked as one of the best courses in London and the South East

Accommodation at The Grove

The Grove is home to the 2005 AA Hotel of the Year, an award that is testament to the outstanding quality of the 214 rooms and suites. The luxurious bedrooms are divided between the contemporary West Wing, whose superior and deluxe spaces are fitted with the best fabrics and furnishings, and the palatial Mansion, where open fireplaces and four-poster beds are among the opulent extras.

The beauty of the Grove is that it marries perfectly the elegance of the 18th century country house and the contemporary comfort and convenience of a modern 5* hotel, all of which results in arguably the most impressive resort in England to host your next golf break, society day or corporate outing.

The luxurious Sequoia Spa at the Grove was voted by Conde Nast as the ‘Best UK Spa Retreat’, where the most advanced health and beauty treatments are embellished by the use of the divine Bamford and Natura Bisse product range. The leisure club is a comprehensive facility where guests can use the indoor swimming pool, sauna, steam room and spa pool while outside there are superb tennis courts. Amazingly, the Grove also has its very own beach, a 17,000 sq. foot expanse of golden sand complete with an international standard volleyball court.

The Glasshouse is a truly international kitchen, where wood-fired ovens, rotisseries and woks are among the tools the chefs utilise every day. The original outhouse has been converted to create the Stables, a comfortable all-day restaurant set in charming, traditional surroundings.

The Grove is situated adjacent to the M25, making it incredibly easy to access from London and its airports.

Christmas gift guide to Moscow surroundings

Visitors from America and Western Europe might be surprised to discover that Russia celebrates Christmas on January 7th. That’s because the Russian Orthodox Church follows the Julian calendar. After the end of the Soviet Union, some Russians have begun celebrating Christmas on December 25 in accordance with the Gregorian calendar. But many Russians still observe the tradition of fasting on January 6th, breaking the fast with a large feast on Christmas Eve after the first star has appeared in the sky.

During the Soviet era, Christmas and religious traditions were banned in Russia. Santa Claus was replaced by Ded Moroz, or, Grandfather Frost, an old man with a long white beard who would bring gifts to children on New Year’s instead of Christmas. According to Russian tradition, Ded Moroz is accompanied by his granddaughter, Snegurochka, the Snowmaiden, who helps him on his journey to give presents to children.

Although the tradition of having a Christmas tree, known as a yolka in Russian, was also banned during Soviet times, Russians got around this by having New Year’s trees from which they hung homemade decorations. Today, the restrictions of the Soviet Union have faded into history, and during the Christmas season visitors to Russia can even purchase Christmas ornaments in the shape of matryoshka dolls, or religious icons that depict nativity scenes.

Heading counterclockwise around the Golden Ring this holiday season, northeast of Moscow, your first stop will most likely be the city of Vladimir, home to some of Russia’s most striking churches and cathedrals. The Vladimir region is known for its fine crystal. Stop by the Crystal, Lacquer Miniatures, and Embroidery Museum ( 2 Bolshaya Moskovskaya ) for an overview of traditional crafts before visiting the gift shop in the museum to browse the crystal selection. Vladimir Chic ( 2 Dvoryanskaya ) also sells local glass and crystal work.

Typical souvenirs are also for sale in Vladimir’s old town, especially by the Golden Gate, a triumphal arch and defensive tower that is one of the last-remaining parts of the wall that once surrounded ancient Vladimir and a sure stop on any tour of the Golden Ring.

Just 63 kilometers from Vladimir lays the nearby city of Gus-Khrustalny , the ‘Crystal Goose,’ also home to a rich glass and crystal making tradition. You can visit the glassmaking factory in Gus-Khrustalny and buy gifts ranging from plates and vases to decanters, or visit the outlet store back in Moscow ( 4 Ilyinka ) just east of the Kremlin.

North of Vladimir, you’ll arrive in Suzdal, one of the Golden Ring route’s more tranquil towns. Suzdal boasts a number of small bazaars and stands outside the main tourist sites where visitors can purchase local honey mead, called medovukha, along with traditional crafts, like a pair valenki, or Russian woolen boots, which make an ideal Christmas gift for friends and family back home. The shopping stands outside Suzdal’s Museum of Wooden Architecture and Peasant Life ( Ul. Pushkarskaya ) are also highly recommended. Market Square ( Torgovaya Pl ) houses a number of shops where visitors can search for arts and crafts.

Following the Golden Ring north of Suzdal, many tours will stop in the city of Kostroma, a former trading outpost on the immense Volga River. One of the city’s highlights is the Museum of Linen and Birchbark ( 38 Tereshkova ), where visitors can view exhibits on traditional Russian crafts woven from flax and bark. A gift shop in the basement sells tablecloths, napkins, baskets, linen dolls, and traditional clothing typical of the region.

South from Kostroma, stop in the city of Rostov-Veliky for enamel jewelry, a craft which allows artists to produce small paintings on metal that are then fired to produce a thin glaze over the image. Rostov became famous for its tradition of enamel work. Today, visitors can purchase rings, earrings, bracelets, brooches, and jewelry boxes in the gift shop of the Rostov Enamel factory ( 3 Borisoglebskoye Highway ).

While you’re in Rostov, visit the House of Crafts ( 16 Vtoraya Tolstovskaya Naberezhnaya ) for local pottery and the Souvenirs shop ( 5 Ul. Kamennyi Most ) for ushanka hats—Russian fur caps with earflaps—paintings, and samovars for tea lovers.

The last two stops on a tour of the Golden Ring are the cities of Pereslavl-Zalesskiy and Sergiev Posad. Pereslavl is most famous for its embroidery work, available at the Art Salon ( 12 Ul. Sovetskaya ) along with souvenirs made of wood and stone. Nearby Sergiev Posad is considered the place where Russia’s matryoshka dolls were first invented, and was the chief production center of the dolls before Soviet times. Visit the city’s Toy Museum ( 123 Pr. Krasny Armii ) to get a better sense of the birthplace of one of Russia’s most recognizable toys, then head over to the market alongside the Trinity Monastery of St. Sergius—one of the city’s most important sites—to load up on matryoshka dolls, painted eggs, and icons before going home.

If you’ll be in the Golden Ring during New Years, the city of Vladimir hosts an impressive Christmas fair, with an iceskating rink and performances by local artists, in the main square ( Sobornaya Pl ). In most other Golden Ring cities you’ll find similar events in the center square as Christmas nears.

Most shops and markets in the Golden Ring are open year round. If you’re coming to Russia for a short period of time, whether in winter or summer, consider a trip to this stunning part of the country, and bring an extra bag if you plan to go shopping for Christmas gifts.
