The leather and canvas standard curve hat from Titleist is the perfect blend of class and minimalism. The small Titleist script on the front is unimpeded by loud colors or product logos. The stylish golf hat has a curved bill and a Titleist logo patch sits just above the adjustable leather strap.

Best Golf Hat to Stand Out on the Course

Some golfers want to fit in, others prefer to stand out. For the latter group, there’s a collection of hats from G/Fore. Whether it’s “Girls Golf Too” or “Coulda Shot 76,” there’s a hat to fit your game and your style that will guarantee you don’t blend in on the golf course.

The weather is always a consideration in golf. Whether it’s rain, cold, or heat, you’re bound to make elements-related adjustments for your round. If you’re teeing it up mid-day on a clear, hot summer afternoon, you’ll need maximum sun protection.

Titleist’s Cotton Strip Bucket hat is the perfect headpiece to keep you protected. You’ll not only shade your face, but gain 360-degree protection around your head for your neck and ears as well. We’re also huge fans of the simple but head-turning style of this bucket hat.

The Callaway Classic Beanie offers everything you need in a winter golf hat, including a fleece lining, double-lined base to help keep those precious ears warm, and a pom on top for extra style points.

Final Thought

The more golf you play, the more you'll be temped to play in any conditions. Golfers who start out playing in ideal conditions might quickly find themselves searching for the perfect cold weather, rain, or sun-protecting golf hats when they won't let brutal weather keep them away from the golf course.
