Later this year, a few buddies and I are taking the pilgrimage to Bandon Dunes. The golfing mecca located along Pacific coast of Oregon is a bucket-list destination with drool-inspiring scenery at every turn.
One of the coolest things about Bandon: no golf carts allowed. It’s a walking only property, which truly allows you to connect to the game in the purest sense.
As I prepared for this trip (firstly by making sure I’m in shape…kinda…and physically able to endure walking seven rounds in four days), I got to thinking: Which golf bag is best suited for such a test?
With that in mind, I thought we’d look at the Top 5 TaylorMade Carry Bags designed to give walkers the most enjoyable golf experience possible.
Engineered to be the ultimate walking bag, FlexTech Carry weighs just 3 lbs. and is the lightest offering in the current TaylorMade lineup. This lightweight and perfectly balanced design features quick access pockets and the all-new Leg Lock Technology that keeps the legs from drooping or clattering while you walk. With its compact size, it’s designed to tote everything you need and nothing more.
Key Features:
- 3 lbs.
- 3-Way Top
- Removable Fixed Straps
- Leg Lock Technology
- Quick Access Hydration Pocket
- 6 Total Pockets
- Weather-Resistant 300D Poly Shell
Boasting a similar design to the FlexTech Carry, the premium model is upgraded by a weather-resistant PU leather material. It also features a soft velour top for added club protection and clink-resistance, removable single or double straps and a sleeker overall profile for luxury appeal.
Key Features:

Weighing just 3.9 lbs., it has a 4-way top with crush-resistant construction and the all-new Leg Lock Technology that keeps the legs from drooping or clattering while you walk.
