Our Favorite Polos for the Golf Course

The classic polo shirt was made for the golf course. Crisp collars, bright colors and comfortable fits make this golf course staple the gold standard. But not all polos are created equal, and if you’re planning on spending the day putting in the sun, you’ll want the best golf polos you can find.

Learn what to wear on the golf course based on the weather and your personal style. We’ve also gathered our favorite tips on choosing the best golf polos and how to style them, even after the 18th hole.

How To Choose the Best Golf Polo

The best golf polos are stylish and comfortable. Suitable for a layered look or a warm-weather choice, these short-sleeve shirts should have the following qualities.

• Breathable fabrics: Experience the comfort of polos with lightweight, breathable fabrics that move with you. Polo shirts made with performance fabrics and UPF protection make them feel like activewear rather than golf attire.

• Timeless colors: Although polos come in every color under the sun, timeless reds, blues and greens help keep you visible to the rest of the golfers on the course.

• Classic cuts: Cut a traditional golfing figure with classic polo cuts. Tuck them in for a more polished look, or keep them untucked if you need more leeway with your swing.

For polos that fit all three categories, stop by Southern Tide’s men’s golf shop. You’ll find something for every golfer there, whether you’re a pro or you’re just starting out on the course.

The Best Golf Polos

Even though golf has always been popular, it’s having a distinctive moment in the 21st century. An afternoon of golf combines camaraderie and sportsmanship, finished off with a touch of vintage style.

Take a look at the best golf polo shirts on the market now. From performance polo shirts to polos that celebrate your alma mater, Southern Tide has everything you need to hit a fashion hole-in-one.

Performance Polo Shirts

When you wear performance polos on the golf course, you’re choosing classic polo style with modern fabric technology. Equipped with UV protection, wicking fabric and quick dry materials, you won’t break a sweat — even as your ball lands in the sand trap instead of the green.

Pair performance polo shirts with brrr®-die performance shorts, made with cooling technology and waistband grippers to keep golf shirts tucked in on the course. They’re available in complementary colors to match any polo shirt you choose for the day.

Solid Polo Shirts

For a traditional yet stylish ensemble, choose polos in solid colors for your golfing day. Bright colors bring your game back to a simpler time, while modern textures bring a soft touch to your hardest swings.

On cooler days, wear a solid polo shirt with performance pants. Available in shades of grey, khaki and stone, these light-colored pants stay cool and dry even as the clouds make way for warmer sunshine.

Printed Polo Shirts

Express your personality and sense of style with printed polo shirts. Driver polos incorporate golf images and symbols into their patterns, while subtle florals and coastal prints bring a hint of fun to the most serious golf game.

Layer your polo look with outerwear suitable for a day outdoors. Lightweight jackets and vests look and feel great over a patterned polo, and a comfortable, loose fit won’t keep you from making par.

Collegiate Polo Shirts

Whether you’re an alum or a big fan, collegiate polos are a comfortable way to celebrate your favorite Southern college teams. Made with breathable brrr°®-eeze fabric and emblazoned with collegiate logos, these polos are a great gift for a recent grad on a post-college golf trip.

Pair these collared golf shirts with other college tailgate apparel. From collegiate outerwear to shorts and pants in your school colors, you’ll represent that alma spirit at every turn.

Classic Stripe Polo Shirts

Take traditional style up a notch when you add striped polos to your golfing wardrobe. Thin stripes and bold stripes alike add interest to any golfing outfit, especially when they come in performance fabrics that keep you comfortable swing after swing.

After tucking your polo into your khaki shorts or pants, add a classic leather belt for a polished look. Match the shade of your belt to your golf shoes or bag for one final coordinated step, and add a protective visor to keep the sun out of your eyes.
