The 5 Best Golf Glove Holders You Didn't Know You Need

Every golfer has extracted a crumpled, crusty golf glove from the bottom of their golf bag, stretched it over their innocent hand, wiggling all five fingers in a desperate attempt to breathe some life back into it before stepping into the all-important opening tee shot. If you insist there must be a better way, you’re right. A simple, and often inexpensive, golf glove holder adds longevity and freshness to your golf gloves. Trust us, once you use a golf glove holder, you’ll never want to go back.

A golf glove holder is the ultimate didn’t-know-you-needed-it golf accessory. Golf gloves are very susceptible to friction and moisture (yes, sweat), quickly eroding away while becoming generally unsightly. 

Golf glove holders serve a few purposes, but the most important is that they help your glove dry quicker and lay flat, so the next time you stroll to the first tee, it’s clean, soft and inviting to slip on. 

Obviously, the longer your golf gloves stay dry and maintain their shape without deteriorating due to moisture, the longer they last. A golf glove holder can actually save you from replacing a few gloves per golf season and pay for itself pretty quickly.

Many golf glove holders also include either a clip or a velcro patch to keep your glove easily accessible throughout your round, or a valuables pocket as an added bonus.

The Zero Friction Golf Glove Wallet is our top choice golf glove holder for recreational golfers because it’s the perfect blend of function, fashion, and affordability. The Zero Friction Wallet holds up to six gloves, which might seem like a lot, but for golfers who keep all types of golf gloves in their bag, including all-weather or winter gloves, in addition to their regular glove, those six spots fill up quickly. The sheepskin leather and mesh wallet with nylon dividers allows gloves to dry easily, and the wallet also includes a storage pouch for tees (which comes loaded with 10 3-inch tees).

One Amazon review titled “Great for my sweaty Arizona gloves” proclaimed “This helps the gloves maintain their shape and they effectively dry out when placed in the wallet.”

The sleek black wallet is understated but sharp, with a simple Zero Friction logo in the corner on an otherwise mostly black leather wallet. It’s not quite a conversation piece, but it looks nice and makes a great affordable golf gift.

Pros:

• Successfully keeps gloves dry and flat
• Sleek design
• Nice blend of affordability and quality

Cons:

• Some reviewers complained of not receiving the free tees as advertised

When any ‘ole golf glove holder just won’t do, turn to the Uther Supply Golf Glove Holder. This is the Mercedes Benz of golf glove holders and ensures your gloves arrive to the first tee in style, and of course clean, dry, and flat. 

The high-grade AAA leather exterior makes the case itself as durable as they come, while the inside protects your gloves from deteriorating due to moisture and adds to its lifespan. With three dividers, the Uther Supply glove holds up to four gloves. The inside also features a zipper storage pocket. Those who appreciate the traditional black leather will love the Uther Supply case. 

Pros:

• Luxurious leather provides elevated look and feel
• Durable

Cons:

• At around $80, it’s an expensive accessory

The Stripebird Golf Performance Gloves Holder has a lot in common with the aforementioned Zero Friction wallet, which is why we like it almost as much. For starters, it features an understated design that you can snatch in black, grey, red, or green. However, the Stripebird golf glove holder features a clip to easily attach to the side of your bag, and a velcro patch that holds your glove throughout your round. 

The Stripebird glove holder is made of high-quality mesh, which keeps your gloves dry and wrinkle-free. This holder does not have dividers, but holds up to five gloves inside and another on the velcro patch outside, although for best results, Stripebird recommends putting two or three gloves inside. It also includes a storage pouch on the inside flat that’s perfect for most smartphones. 

Pros:

• High-quality mesh helps keep gloves dry and adds longevity
• Additional storage pocket great for smartphone
• Four color options
• Velcro patch and bag clip make it super convenient

Cons:

• No dividers on the inside

This golf glove case from Go for it Golf is more of an accessory organizer than simply a glove holder, which is why we love it. 

It’s great that it has designated spaces for your tees and divot tool, but we really appreciate that there’s built-in slots for ball markers. We all know how losable ball markers are, so if you, or a golfer you know, uses ball markers that hold sentimental value, this is our top recommendation for safe-keeping that goes beyond your gloves.

Pros:

• Breathable holes for efficient drying
• Slim profile
• Ball marker sleeve
• Zippered accessory pouch large enough for a phone

Cons:

• No dividers to separate multiple gloves

Do you want the simplest, cheapest golf glove holder you can find? We recommend the FINGER TEN Golf Glove Holder. This no-frills holder clips to your bag and slides into your glove between rounds to let it hang dry.

The FINGER TEN holder is another hand-shaped holder that slips into your glove. It’s hollow in the middle and fits any size glove and either hand. 

At about $9 for a two-pack, this is the clear winner for the best value golf glove holder, but don’t expect it to do much else. It isn’t much to look at and doesn’t hold any other accessories, although it can be used for gloves for various other sports.

Pros:

• Fits any size and any hand glove
• Fits golf gloves and gloves for other sports
• Best value golf glove holder

Cons:

• Awkward looking
• Can be tricky to get the fingers into the glove
