The stockings are hung, the lights are twinkling, and the holiday playlist is on repeat. But if you’ve got a golf-loving guy in your life, you know his mind is never too far from the fairway, even in December. So why not bring a little golf magic to his Christmas morning with stocking stuffers that will make him feel like he just birdied the 18th hole?
Stocking stuffers are the unsung heroes of gift-giving: small, thoughtful, and fun. The best part? You don’t have to spend a fortune to give him something that’s both useful and exciting. Whether your man is new to the game or practically lives on the course, these golf stocking stuffer ideas are sure to make his Christmas a true hole-in-one.
1. Tees With Personality
Every golfer needs tees, but they don’t have to be boring. Pick up a pack with fun sayings, bright colors, or eco-friendly bamboo styles. They’re practical but still bring a smile, especially if you find ones that match his personality.
2. Golf Ball Markers That Pop
Forget the plain, generic ball markers. Go for something playful! From poker chips to quirky designs (think superhero logos, funny quotes, or even personalized initials), ball markers are small but thoughtful. They add a little flair to his game, and he’ll think of you every time he lines up a putt.

3. Novelty Golf Balls
Golf balls don’t have to be serious all the time. While he’ll always appreciate a premium sleeve of Pro V1s, toss in a few novelty golf balls with festive designs, glow-in-the-dark finishes, or funny sayings. It’s a mix of practical and playful, perfect for a stocking stuffer.
For guys who love golf and barbecue!
4. A Handy Divot Tool
Golf etiquette matters, and a snazzy divot tool will make him look like a pro on the green. Many come with magnetic ball markers attached, and you can even find personalized versions with his initials or favorite team logo. Small, sleek, and incredibly useful, this one’s a winner.
5. Golf-Themed Socks
Who doesn’t love a good pair of socks in their stocking? Swap out the boring basics for a fun golf-themed pair. Think argyle patterns, tiny golf clubs, or cheeky sayings like “This Guy Needs to Golf.” They’re festive, functional, and guaranteed to make him grin.
6. A Pack of Energy Snacks
Golf is a long game, and he’ll appreciate having something to munch on between holes. Toss in a few protein bars, trail mix packs, or even some chocolate golf balls for a sweet touch. It’s a thoughtful nod to his time on the course, and it makes his stocking extra delicious.
7. Groove Cleaner Brush
Not the most glamorous gift, but trust us, he’ll love it. A small golf brush helps keep his clubs clean and performing their best. Some even come with retractable clips to attach to his bag. It’s one of those items he may not think to buy for himself but will use all season long.
8. Mini Golf Gadgets
If your guy loves gadgets, slip in a pocket-sized golf accessory. Think scorecard holders, swing trainers, or even a mini clip-on rangefinder case. These little add-ons make his game smoother and show you put some thought into his stocking.
9. Useful E-Books
An entertaining read he can get right into and enjoy over the holidays. This one is specifically created for men and women golfers who mainly play on weekends with limited time to practice in-between rounds. If this sounds like your guy, then this might be the best preparation for him before the upcoming golf season.
10. Gift Cards for Golf Goodies
When in doubt, a gift card to his favorite golf shop (or even his go-to coffee spot before a round) is always a slam dunk. Tuck it into a small holiday envelope and slide it into his stocking for a guaranteed smile.
11. Golf Rangefinder Magnetic Strap
An extremely practical tool to keep the Rangefinder always in reach. It’s strong magnet attaches easily to golf carts, or golf clubs. One of those accessories you didn’t know you needed until you actually use it. Small in size, game-changing when in use.
12. Honeystick Golf Anti-Slice and Anti-Hook Gel
This is something new to try out if the golfer in your life is looking for improvement in his game. Once applied, the gel liquid can help with a straighter hit down the fairway. It’s small but can have a significant impact on his game, which makes it perfect as a golf stocking stuffer.
13. Electrolyte Packs for On-the-Go Hydration
Golfers spend hours on the golf course, and staying hydrated is key to keeping their swing strong from the first tee to the final putt. Toss in a few single-serve electrolyte packets for a simple, useful stocking stuffer he’ll actually use. It’s a small but thoughtful way to help him play better and feel better on the course.
14. Golf Glove Holder or Case
There’s nothing worse than a stiff or crumpled golf glove. A golf glove holder keeps it in perfect shape between rounds plus, it helps the glove dry properly so it lasts longer. It’s compact, inexpensive, and a total game-changer for any golfer who likes to keep their gear in top condition.
15. Pocket-Sized Sunscreen or SPF Lip Balm
Even on cloudy days, golfers spend hours exposed to the sun. A travel-size sunscreen or SPF lip balm is a thoughtful (and underrated!) addition to his golf bag. Look for sweat-resistant formulas that won’t leave his hands greasy. It’s the kind of stocking stuffer that says, “I love you, now go protect that handsome face.”
