Custom golf caps start at $12 a piece at 50 caps per design, embroidered with a club crest, society name or sponsor logo on the front and, if you want one, a date or course name on the side. Adjustable dad caps, structured caps and truckers all suit a round, while fitted caps suit a pro shop rail. Allow 10 to 15 working days of production once the artwork is approved.

Which cap style suits a round of golf?

A cap with a curved peak and an adjustable back suits most golf, because it shades the eyes, stays comfortable for four or five hours and fits a whole society without a size list. Beyond that, the choice depends on who wears it and how. Each option below is in the cap range.

How do golf caps cope with sun and sweat?

The sweatband does most of the work. It is sewn around the inside edge of the crown, takes the sweat of a hot round and keeps the fit comfortable, and it is one of the parts that decides whether a cap still holds its shape on the back nine. Eyelets, the small stitched holes in each panel, let warm air out of the crown.

Colour matters too. A pale crown in white, stone or light blue feels cooler in full sun than black, and it sits well with most golf clothing. Embroidery stands up to regular washing and daily wear, so a society cap lasts the season. Care advice is in care and washing for caps.

Where should the embroidery go on a golf cap?

Put the main mark on the front and keep everything else small, because each extra position is another run on every cap and is priced in the quote. The front takes the club crest, society name or lead sponsor. Custom hat design ideas shows how positions combine without crowding the cap.

  • Side panel: the year, the course, the event name or a second sponsor.
  • Back, above the closure: the society name or a short motto.
  • Under-brim: a course map or a message printed on the underside of the peak, a good touch on a prize cap.
  • Inside: a woven label, if the caps are going on sale in the pro shop.

Can golf caps and golf towels be ordered together?

Yes. Caps and towels are a natural pair for a golf day, and both can go on the same enquiry with the same artwork so the crest matches. They are separate products, each with its own 50-piece minimum per design and its own pricing, and a towel is branded with embroidery, a dobby border (a band woven into the towel's edge) or a woven label.

For the towel side, see personalised golf towels for societies and golf days or, for US events, custom golf towels for tournaments and outings. The range itself is on the wholesale towels page.

How should a society plan its cap order?

Start from the date of the golf day and work back. Production is 10 to 15 working days after you approve the proof, plus delivery, so send the enquiry five or six weeks ahead. A society of 40 still orders 50 caps, and the spares cover guests, new members and prizes. Leave the year off to keep them usable next season, or put it on the side so the front crest stays timeless.

What to send for a golf cap quote

Send the crest or logo, the cap style and colour, the number of caps, where they need to go and the date of the round. If towels are part of it, add their quantity to the same message. The form on this page brings a reply with pricing, usually within hours on working days. At Velocity Wear the full choice of styles is on the custom caps page, and the personalised caps guide covers pricing and delivery.

FAQ

Quick Answers

Common questions about caps — answered.

The best cap style for golf is usually a six-panel cap with a curved peak and an adjustable back, either a soft dad cap or a structured cap. It shades the eyes, stays comfortable for a full round and fits every player without sizes. Truckers suit relaxed society days, and fitted caps suit pro shop retail.

A golf society orders a minimum of 50 caps per design, even if it has fewer members. The spares are useful for guests, new members, prizes and replacements, and leaving the year off the front keeps them usable in later seasons. Personalised golf caps start at $12 a piece at 50.

Yes. A golf day cap can carry the lead sponsor on the front and secondary sponsors on the side panels or above the back closure. Each logo position is a separate operation priced in the quote, and every cap must carry the same layout to count as one design within the 50-cap minimum.

Put the year on custom golf caps only if they are a keepsake from one event. On a side panel, a year marks the golf day without dating the crest on the front. Leaving it off entirely means spare caps from a 50-piece order can be handed out next season without looking out of date.

Embroidered golf caps hold up well to regular washing, because the logo is stitched into the fabric and has no surface layer to crack or peel. The sweatband and, on structured styles, the buckram help the cap keep its shape through a season of rounds.
