Golf Cart Bags

Cart Bags are designed for the golfer who prefers the ride over the walk, who enjoys a more faster pace golf round.

Pros

Space – the best ones have plenty of  different pockets, holders and dividers since you don’t have to carry it so might as well load it up.

Bag-Free Worries – With all that goes on in golf lining up the perfect putt or nailing the ball off the tee, you may not want to deal with carrying a golf bag, where it’s at, the physical strains of carrying it for 18 holes. A cart bag will allow you to focus on the game except when..

Cons

Handiness – When you need something it can be annoying to have to walk to your cart just to grab some golf balls or tees, a minor con but something that you need to consider.

Versatility – They do one thing really well, ride in your cart. So if you don’t always use a cart bag or don’t own one yourself I would advise against purchasing one. If cart bags are not for you, check out our Golf Bag Buyers Guide for an overview of other types of bags

Datrek Assault Cart Bag

Datrek is one of those solid good brands but not among the “elite” of the likes of Nike and Callaway, suffice to say you won’t see many Datrek golf bags on the tour.

But what they lack in name recognition they make up for in lower prices and that is just what they provide with this latest addition to their bag repertoire.

The Datrek Assault Cart Bag provides a good amount of features for a cart bag, but can they pull them off?

  • A fairly lightweight cart bag has 2 putter rubberized wells great for reducing noise on the cart ride.
  • Comes with 9 pockets  3 of them are considered ‘valuables’ pockets unfortunately these are terribly small, you would think a cart bag would have nice storage compartments, but here it falls flat.
  • To help coping with getting caught in the rain, it includes an umbrella holder and rain hood.
  • A choice of a few color packets each with 3 different colors, Copper, Silver and Charcoal.

Overall A Good Cart Bag has quite a few features but not doing anything amazing, but makes up for being a notch cheaper than the big boys.

TaylorMade Catalina 2.0 Cart Bag

TaylorMade comes up with a bag that provides the solution to the affordable golfers problem, a well designed cart bag that is lighter on the wallet than most out there.

  • Extremely light at 5.4 lbs making it easier to transport on and off the golf cart the added front handles make this process even easier,the design is also very slim so no space is wasted.
  • Provides space for the utmost organization of your golf clubs with a 14-way divider but with the small design it doesn’t give the clubs enough space making it easier to get them tangled together, bummer.
  • there is plenty of space with 9 pockets but what make this bag in some ways awesome is the large insulated cooler pocket which can easily hold lunch and even a six-pack.
  • The Design is slim, light and effective this bag has that pro quality look and feel that you usually have to pay out the nose for.
