Golf bag manufacturers have really upped their game in recent years, with colors and designs to suit almost every taste. But for many people, the bags are missing a personal touch. We want a custom golf bag. And that’s where embroidery comes in.
You can get your golf bag embroidered with your name, a logo, a flag, or pretty much anything else you can think of. Generally speaking, it’s not overly expensive, and you can secure yourself an embroidered golf bag without too much effort.
Let’s explore how and where you can get your golf bag embroidered.

How to Get Your Golf Bag Embroidered
If you’re looking to get an embroidered golf bag, you’ll likely find yourself in one of these three scenarios:
- You have a golf bag without a removable panel that you want to get embroidered locally.
- You have a golf bag with a removable panel that can be sent out for embroidery.
- You wish to purchase a pre-embroidered golf bag.
If any of these scenarios apply to you, here’s what you should do.
Getting a Golf Bag Embroidered Locally
If your golf bag doesn’t have a removable panel, you’ll probably want to get it done locally – this is because the cost of shipping a golf bag will set you back at least $50, which is far more than the price of the embroidery itself. If you stay local, you can transport the bag yourself, and save a lot of time and money in the process.
A simple Google search will reveal golf bag embroidery locations in your area (make sure ‘access to my location’ is turned on). You can then take your bag to the shop and consult with them, face-to-face, about your embroidery ideas. This gives you the best chance of getting the exact design that you want on a custom golf bag.
Most shops will have the job done in a couple of days. Cost-wise, you could expect to pay between $20 and $80, depending on the size and complexity of the design.
Sending off a Removable Panel for Embroidery
Many golf bags now come with a removable panel, giving you a wider range of options for securing an embroidery. That’s key for making your own custom golf bag. When I want to make a change, I don’t need to ship my whole bag anywhere. I just remove the panel, send it out for embroidery, and re-affix the panel once it comes back.
Compared to shipping an entire golf bag, the cost of shipping a removal panel is minimal. There are several companies (see next section) that specialize in the embroidery of removable panels.
Typically, you will send your panel to them with an enclosed order form, detailing your design requests. The company will then complete the embroidery and send the panel back to you.
Pricing varies from company to company, but you can generally expect to pay a flat rate of $30-40. Of course, this goes up with larger and more complicated designs.
Ordering a Golf Bag that Comes with an Embroidery
If you want an embroidered golf bag, and also happen to be in the market for a new golf bag, you can quite easily kill two birds with one stone.
Many mainstream manufacturers now offer personal customization with embroidery. You should be able to upload your design to a mockup generator, allowing you to see how your design will look on the bag.
If you’re set on purchasing a new bag, this is by far the easiest and most cost-efficient way of securing an embroidery. Since you’re already purchasing a bag from the company, they’ll just charge a bit extra for the embroidery. You won’t have to be any extra for shipping, and your embroidered bag should be with you in less than a week.
