Custom Golf Towels for Tournaments, Outings and Pro Shops

By The Velocity Wear Team

Custom golf towels get about fifty-four hundred US searches a month, and golf towels with a logo carry some of the highest click costs in the towel category. Tournament organizers, charity outings, country clubs and corporate event planners all want them, because golfers use them constantly and keep them in their bags for seasons.

Who orders golf towels

  • Charity golf tournaments, as player gifts or sponsor items.
  • Corporate outings hosting clients.
  • Country clubs and pro shops selling crested towels.
  • High school and college golf teams.
  • Golf course management companies.

Size

Our gym towel, about 12 × 31 in (30 × 80 cm), works as a slim caddy-style towel draped over a bag. The hand towel, about 18 × 30 in (45 × 75 cm), suits a larger tour-style towel. Both are 100% combed cotton. If you need a grommet and hook, ask whether it can be added for your order.

Cotton or microfiber?

Microfiber is light and good at grabbing dirt. Cotton feels better, absorbs well, embroiders beautifully and has a classic club look. For player gifts and pro shop sales, cotton feels more premium. We make cotton towels.

Sponsor logos

A towel with the tournament name and a presenting sponsor's logo is a strong sponsorship package. Agree logo placement in writing, get vector files early, and keep it to one or two logos so the towel stays attractive.

Colors

White shows grass and dirt quickly. Navy, black, gray and dark green hide it and look classic. Match club colors where possible.

Tournament timelines

Production takes 10 to 15 working days from artwork approval, plus shipping. Sponsor logos often arrive late. Set a firm artwork deadline six weeks before the event.

Gift bag pairings

Golf towels pair naturally with custom polos and caps in player gift bags. See our custom polo shirts guide.

Mistakes to avoid

  1. 1White towels for a muddy spring outing.
  2. 2Cramming five sponsor logos onto one towel.
  3. 3Late sponsor artwork delaying the whole order.
  4. 4Ordering exactly the field size with no spares for guests.

Quick checklist before you order

  • Slim caddy or larger tour size?
  • Dark, practical color?
  • Tournament name plus one or two sponsor logos?
  • Grommet or hook needed?
  • Artwork deadline six weeks out?

Tournament gift bag planning

Player gift bags usually include a towel, balls, tees, a cap or polo, and sponsor items. Coordinate colors so the bag looks cohesive. Keep the towel design classic so players keep using it long after the tournament. Include a few extra bags for last-minute players and VIP guests.

Pro shop retail towels

Crested towels are dependable pro shop sellers. Offer a slim caddy-style towel and a larger hand towel in two classic colors. Display them near the counter and restock before busy seasons and holidays. Members buy them as gifts for visiting friends and family.

High school and college golf teams

Golf teams can use towels in school colors with the team logo, sold to parents as fundraisers or given to players. Check school or athletic department logo approval rules before ordering.

Charity outings and donor recognition

Charity golf outings can use towels to recognize hole sponsors or major donors. A special color for sponsors or a different design for VIP players adds recognition. Each design or color counts toward its own minimum.

Keeping towels looking good

Remind players that cotton golf towels can be machine washed. Avoid fabric softener, which reduces absorbency, and wash separately from items that shed lint.

Ordering

Minimum 50 per design, which suits most tournament fields. See wholesale towels.
