Hard Sided Golf Travel Bags

If you travel frequently by plane with your golf clubs, IN THE HOLE! Golf suggests you seriously consider hard sided golf travel bags as the smart option to protect your golf club investment. Your search for hard sided golf travel bags brings you to InTheHoleGolf.com, your online resource for an excellent selection of golf travel bags, golf equipment, cutting edge golf clubs, useful golf training aids, golf shoes and clothing, and golf gifts.

At IN THE HOLE! Golf there are three basic types of travel golf bags available: hardcover or hard sided golf travel bags, soft sided golf travel bags, and hybrid golf travel bags. Some folks consider hybrid golf travel bags as a variation of hard sided golf travel bags because their design tends to be a combination of a soft travel bag with a hard case top. Both hard sided and hybrids are good for air travel. However, if you want the maximum protection, hard sided golf travel bags are the way to go. Just be aware that a hard sided golf travel bag takes up more space and may be inconvenient to carry because of its bulk and weight. Fortunately the manufacturers of hard sided golf travel bags have added wheels to their bases to make airport as well as general maneuvering easier.

Some airlines will cover damages to your golf equipment if you use hard sided golf travel bags. Ask your airline when you buy your ticket if they will cover any damage incurred if clubs are shipped in a hard sided golf case. Or consider purchasing SKB ATA Golf Travel Cases that come with an Unconditional Lifetime Guaranty, as well as SKB's unprecedented $1,500 Content Coverage. This forward thinking travel golf bag manufacturer is so confident in the quality of their product that in the unfortunate event that your golf clubs or other contents are damaged by airline handling while transported in an SKB ATA Golf Travel Case, SKB will repair or replace any damage up to $1,500. Other hard sided golf travel bags offered at InTheHoleGolf.com have limited lifetime warranties. The warranties on hard sided golf travel bags from IN THE HOLE! Golf range from one-year limited warranties to lifetime warranties - so read the fine print.

Depending upon the design, hard sided golf travel bags can accommodate anywhere from a typical fully loaded golf bag to larger pro staff golf bags. However, check each hard sided golf travel bags product page to see the maximum bag diameter capacity and club length. The Cargo Golf X2 hybrid travel case has an accommodating design. For a custom club length fit, the hard case expands in one-inch increments up to 51.5'', accommodating drivers up to 48” long. When not holding your golf bag and other golf accessories, the X2 Hybrid collapses down to 24” for convenient storage in your hotel room or at home. Another manufacturer who recognizes the storage issues that occur with these large travel cases is Sweet Spot Golf. They have developed golf travel bag designs where the top half of the hard case can be conveniently removed, inverted, and then slid into the bottom half of the case saving considerable space. Other design features to look for in hard sided golf travel bags are the new TSA accepted and recognized locking latch systems which allow airport security to inspect the hard sided golf travel bags contents and then securely re-lock the latches providing for safer and more secure travel, ball-bearing wheels, extra storage space, crush resistant hard-core protection from top to bottom, an inside layer of poly-foam to provide enough cushioning to prevent damage, and padded shoulder straps.
