ONE OF THE best-kept secrets in the crevices of the internet golf community is the Amazon Golf Gear Section. While an unofficial section, especially considering it’s basically kept under the radar, it’s always loaded with some high-end gear for less. Like, a lot less.
Square in the beginning of golf season, Amazon seems to have upped the ante and is offering up to 50 percent off on some of the biggest names in gold apparel and gear. For a limited time, you can save up to 50 percent on brands like Callaway, Cobra, TaylorMade, and Under Armour. Golf essentials like golf balls, rangefinders, and golf apparel are included in the sale; you can even find high-end irons and drivers up to 30 percent off.
Naturally, we rounded up some of our favorites to save you the painstaking process of navigating Amazon’s robust golf sale section, which can sometimes be a little overwhelming. Take a look at what we found below.

Best April Golf Deals on Amazon
This list of discounted golf equipment features a couple of our preferred rangefinders. The Bushnell Pro X3 is 12 percent off (a rarity) and is our pick for the best upgrade rangefinder. It’s one of the most precise we’ve tested, and offers lightning-fast readings with unparalleled accuracy. While it’s expensive (even on sale), if you’re looking more in the budget realm our pick there is the Redtiger Golf Rangefinder. And that’s currently an additional 38 percent off its already reasonable price tag.
And while Amazon isn’t always considered a viable place to buy a new set of golf clubs, we couldn’t help but notice the Cobra Darkspeed Iron Set for 40 percent off. The seven-club set goes from a 5-iron down to a gap wedge, and if you don’t mind a model that’s a couple of years old for a little less coin, this remains an excellent upgrade.
If you’re still desperate to add a few extra yards off the tee, the Callaway Paradym AI Smoke Max Driver is also 33 percent off on Amazon. This one boasts proprietary AI smart ace technology that utilizes real player data for optimized launch conditions, and was a reputable follow-up to the OG Callaway Paradym Driver. But if you’re looking for an even better steal on a new driver, let me recommend what I picked up last year: TaylorMade’s Sim 2 Max Driver. It’s a few years older, but still boasts a lot of the same technology that TaylorMade is using in its newest drivers. The split mass weighting helps improve MOI (moment of inertia), which in turn helps keep a more square face at impact. I’ve been using it since the fall, and it (along with some refinements to my swing) have really helped me stay much straighter off the tee. Just under $250, it’s a great driver for a mid-handicapper (like myself) or even high-handicappers looking for an upgrade off the tee without dropping big bucks.
Other notable deals include a Steel Pushable Golf Cart for under $50, 23 percent off the Par Three Golf Putting Green, and the Callaway Golf Chrome Soft X Golf Balls are 10 percent off.

If you haven’t already loaded up on new gear for this season, now is as good of a time as any. Keep in mind Amazon swaps things out of its sales section pretty regularly. If something catches your eye, act quickly; things go out of stock faster than you can yell “Fore!”
