The Best Golf Carry-Stand Bags for Under 100 Dollars

We recently compared six of the more favorite golf carry/stand bags that cost less than 0.00. These included the Callaway Warbird Xtt, Cobra Sport, Nike Xtreme Sport, Sun Mountain Mini, TaylorMade Tourino and the Wilson Staff Feather 3.

All of these bags were of high quality, and we based our criteria on price, size of the top, amount of dividers, the strap, features, weight and the amount of colors available.

Callaway Cart Bags

Based on these criteria, the Cobra Sport bag ranked #1 in our testing. It has the largest top of the bunch (10 inches), and has the most pockets (eight). And at 4.5 lbs., it makes for a easy carry. We idea this was the perfect blend of light weight without sacrificing any of the features... And it is a good finding bag!

The New Wilson Staff Feather Bag placed second because at only .95, it is a hell of a deal. It features a 9.5 inch x 7.5 inch top, and at 3.0 lbs., it is super-light.

Surprisingly, the Sun Mountain Mini complete last. Although this bag comes in some unmistakably great finding colors, it doesn't look like a "real" carry bag. But, if you want the lightest bag on the market, at 2.7 lbs, this would be a great choice.

Our rankings:

#1 - Cobra Sport

#2 - Wilson Staff Feather 3
