Best Golf Belts for Men

Galvin Green Wave Elastic Braided

RRP £45.00 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Three | Gender Men

Another great example of what makes Galvin Green such an impressive operator. It’s a stylish and hugely comfortable belt that won’t cost the earth and does the job with the minimum of fuss.

The stretchy nylon/leather combination ensures you barely notice it and the traditional silver buckle is sturdy without being too heavy. Comes in three sizes – 85cm; 95cm; 105cm.

J Lindeberg Diamond Patch Buck

RRP £89.00 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles One | Gender Men

A classic number from the Swedish sportswear giants and one that will appeal to the traditionalists.

Coming in five waist sizes (from 32 to 38), the belt itself is 100% leather although the eyecatching diamond buckle is more modern. It looks and feels really substantial. Built to last and one colour black colour option is a bit of a statement.

Adidas HTR Stretch

RRP £25.00 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Three | Gender Men

Adidas tends to provide excellent value for money and with this super-stretchy golf belt you get two for the price of one.

On one side is a strong navy colour and the other is a speckled, white-and-blue effect belt that incorporates a large, metal clasp.

The belt is made from 40% elastane so don’t be put off by the fact it is only made in one size. There is so much give.

Royal Albatross The Ryder Belt

RRP £99.00 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Two | Gender Men

Royal Albatross is known for its luxury products and this super-stylish golf belt really does look the part.

Again it is a belt that is reversible so on one side is the red, white and blue pattern while the reverse side is just navy. You can also get it in grey, white and black/black.

It is not cheap but the Palladium-coated buckle gives it that sheen of luxury, as does the 100% Calfskin leather trim.

J Lindeberg Bernhard Belt

RRP £54.99 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Three | Gender Men

A really popular golf belt and very easy to understand why. J Lindeberg is known for doing things its own way and this offering has a really interesting composition.

It is 70% viscose, a silk substitute made, mainly, from recycled wood. The rest is cotton and rubber so you are left with a highly elasticated, yet super smooth belt.

The brushed silver buckle sits perfectly with the feel of the belt and it is available in six lengths, starting at 85cm and going all the way up to 110cm.

Callaway CW Mens V Logo

RRP £40.00 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles One | Gender Men

A classic-looking golf belt from Callaway that evokes memories of pre Second World War sports stars.

Two highly-contrasting shades of blue work to create a belt that will suit most pairs of trousers.

The v-style buckle is the contrast. Highly modern, it oozes class and the belt itself is 100% polyurethane so possibly not as durable as real leather but, at least, those who have an issue with buying leather products, have a viable and cost-effective alternative.

Stromberg Braided

RRP £14.99 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Three | Gender Men

Stromberg has a reputation for cost-effective alternatives and this braided style is noticeably cheaper than the large range of golf belts made this way.

The classic buckle finish is embossed with the Stromberg logo.

Galvin Green Warren

RRP £35.00 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Two | Gender Men

Another top-notch golf belt from Galvin Green that is subtly different from anything else in the market.

The bold GG logo belt means everyone will know who made your belt but the tight-woven nylon style looks a bit like a judo belt but feels very different.

You get 42 inches of material when you buy it and cut to fit with the metal buckle being moveable.

Adidas 3 Stripe Tour

RRP £35.00 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Two | Gender Men

Three stripes and you’re out on the course thanks to this highly-distinctive golf belt from adidas.

It’s priced mid-range thanks to its polyurethane construction and can be reversed so you can get it in blue/cream and black/cream.

It’s certainly not quite like any other golf belt out there and will be popular among adidas fans.

PXG Signature Logo

RRP £249.99 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Five | Gender Men

It’s difficult to justify paying £250 for a golf belt and some might expect it to have a GPS device incorporated.

There are no such tricks from PXG, which is hoping you will pay for the name. It is a beautiful leather belt and will have appeal among younger PXG players.

Glenmuir g.Mackenzie

RRP £30.00 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Four | Gender Unisex

Glenmuir’s woven offering has been created with both men and women in mind.

The g.Mackenzie comes in three sizes, ranging from 90cm to 120cm and the four-way stretch design picks up the slack for those who don’t quite match those dimensions.

All four colour options are classic – Black, white, blue and grey – and like most Glenmuir products, they are versatile and not overbearing.

Best Golf Belts for Women

Golfino Ladies’ Extra Stretch

RRP £69.95 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles One | Gender Women

An eyecatching golf belt for women from Golfino that ticks a lot of boxes when it comes to style and practicality.

It comes in three lengths – 80cm; 90cm; 100cm – while further size adjustments can be made via the silver belt buckle.

Additionally it cleverly has been made stretchy for extra comfort and the leather patches provide a nice finish.

Callaway Ladies V Print

RRP £25.00 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Two | Gender Women

A jazzy number from Callaway. The options are bright, blue-based designs.

The V Print golf belt comes in just one size but it is easy to adjust to fit. You simply cut to suit your needs and place the Metal V Print buckle in the right place.

Ping Stretch Ladies

RRP £22.95 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Two | Gender Women

Ping has produced an excellent golf belt option for women that adopts the popular woven style.

The combination of polypropylene and elastadiene means you get a durable yet adaptable belt.

It comes in just one size (105cm) so there may be some sizing issues for slimmer ladies but ticks a lot of boxes, not least the price for the ‘it’s only a belt’ golfers.

Golfino Ladies Woven

RRP £69.95 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles  Two | Gender Women

Another highly-elegant golf belt from Golfino for women. The G buckle might be a bit much for some but if you don’t mind that, this is a stand-out offering.

It’s made from 95% elastane so just about as stretchy as they come.

Available in the timeless black or white style, it is finished off with vegan leather trimmings so the environmentally-conscious player can purchase with full peace of mind.

Glenmuir g.Mackenzie

RRP £30.00 | VIEW OFFER
No of colour styles Four | Gender Unisex
