Which golf towel is
right for you?

Three formats. One decision. The right golf towel depends on how you carry your bag and how you like to work on course. This guide covers the spec, the setup, and the use case, so you can choose with confidence and stop replacing towels that were never right for the job.

THE SHORT ANSWER

The right golf towel comes down to how you carry your bag. Ride a buggy, trolley or golf cart and there is steel to attach to, so the magnetic format is quickest. Walk with a stand or carry bag and nothing is magnetic, so a reinforced centre-slit and hanging loop is the reliable fixing. Want full club coverage with no hardware at all, and the caddy drape is the answer.

Magnetic Golf Towel If you use a Buggy or TrolleyMagnetic Golf Towel

The Magnetic Golf Towel locks onto any steel surface on a buggy or push cart via N52 neodymium rated at 48kg of pull force. Take it to the green, drop it, and it snaps back instantly. A heavy-duty carabiner is included as a secondary option for non-metallic bags and D-rings.

MICROFIBRE

400GSM waffle-weave microfibre

Used on both the Magnetic and Tour towels. The waffle grid lifts dirt from club grooves on contact rather than spreading it. At 400GSM, roughly double the density of a standard golf towel, it absorbs moisture quickly and dries fast between shots. Wring it out mid-round and absorption capacity resets within a few holes. Both towels are double-sided: the PINSEEKER icon and wordmark on the cleaning face, the full star pattern across the back. Built for variable UK weather where conditions change mid-round.

COTTON

550GSM 100% cotton

Used on the Caddy Golf Towel. Premium cotton at 550GSM gives a different feel and behaviour to microfibre: heavier, with more natural drape that keeps it anchored through the clubs without clips or hardware. Cotton absorbs moisture effectively and handles wet rounds well. Air dry only to preserve loft. The right choice for golfers who prefer the traditional caddy-style setup.

CADDY OR TOUR

Caddy towel or tour towel: which should you buy?

The short version: carry the Tour Golf Towel for the walk, and reach for the Caddy Golf Towel when you want the whole set covered and do not mind the extra weight.

  • If you walk with a stand or carry bag, pick the Tour Golf Towel, 400GSM waffle microfibre, 40 × 100cm, with a reinforced centre-slit and hanging loop.
  • If you want full club coverage with no hardware, pick the Caddy Golf Towel, 550GSM cotton, 55 × 105cm, with a reinforced centre-slit.
  • If you ride a buggy, trolley or golf cart, pick the Magnetic Golf Towel, 400GSM waffle microfibre, 40 × 65cm, with an N52 magnet at 48kg of pull force.

Cotton at 550GSM holds more water and drapes through the irons, so the Caddy towel is heavier once it is wet and has to be air dried flat rather than tumble dried. Microfibre at 400GSM dries faster between shots and goes through a 30°C machine wash and a low tumble dry. If you walk most of your round and count every gram in the bag, do not buy the Caddy towel: the Tour or Magnetic towel in the same 400GSM microfibre will serve you better.

PINSEEKER golf towel and cap range
THE RANGE

The best golf towels for each golf bag

PINSEEKER golf towels come in three formats because golf bags differ. The best golf towel for a cart or trolley is the magnetic one, because there is steel on the frame to attach to. The best golf towels for a stand or carry golf bag use a reinforced centre-slit and loop, because nothing on that golf bag is magnetic. The best golf towel for full club coverage is the caddy format, which needs no fixing at all.

All three golf towels clean the same way. The waffle grid lifts dirt and wet grass off the clubs on contact rather than pushing it along the face, so one firm wipe clears a groove.

If you are weighing a clip against a magnet, how a golf towel clip compares with a magnet says which holds on the move.

MATERIALS

What the materials tell you about golf towels

Two materials cover every job on the golf course. Microfibre golf towels absorb several times their own weight and release it when wrung, so they keep cleaning clubs deep into a wet round. Cotton golf towels hold more water and drape better, which suits a full-length format anchored by the clubs.

Density decides how much either material can do. At 400GSM a microfibre golf towel holds roughly twice the water of a standard 200GSM towel of the same size. Judge the materials and the dimensions together, never one alone, and choose a clip or a slit based on the golf bag rather than the towel.

Your towel works best paired with a proper routine, so see our guide on how to clean golf clubs between shots for the full method.

Frequently asked questions.

Which golf towel format should I buy?

Start with how you carry your bag. If you use a buggy or push cart, choose the Magnetic Golf Towel (400GSM microfibre, N52 Neodymium magnet with 48kg pull force, heavy-duty carabiner included for non-metallic bags). If you use a stand bag or carry bag, choose the Tour Golf Towel (400GSM microfibre, centre-slit and loop, 40x100cm). If you want full-length club coverage without any hardware, choose the Caddy Golf Towel (550GSM cotton, centre-slit, 55x105cm). The comparison table above shows every spec side by side.

What does 400GSM mean for a golf towel?

GSM stands for grams per square metre: it measures fabric density. Most standard golf towels use 200 to 250GSM cotton or microfibre. The PINSEEKER Magnetic and Tour towels use 400GSM waffle-weave microfibre: roughly double the density. The waffle texture creates a grid that lifts dirt from club grooves on contact rather than spreading it, and the higher density means more absorption capacity per pass. It also dries faster than cotton at a comparable weight.

Is the N52 magnet strong enough to hold on a moving buggy?

Yes. The N52 Neodymium magnet on the Magnetic Golf Towel delivers 48kg of pull force, the highest commercially available grade. It locks onto any steel surface on a buggy or push cart and holds firm through movement, bumps, and course terrain. Take it to the green to clean your ball, drop it, and it snaps back to the frame instantly. A heavy-duty carabiner is also included for non-metallic bags and D-rings. Keep it away from the putter head as a precaution, but it poses no risk to irons, woods, or wedges in normal use.

Can I use a centre-slit towel on a stand bag?

Yes. The Tour Golf Towel has both a reinforced centre-slit and a hanging loop. The loop is designed specifically for stand bags, carry bags, and any bag with a D-ring or zip pull. Thread the loop through the D-ring and the towel hangs securely. The centre-slit is an additional option for draping over the clubs or through the bag handle. The Caddy Golf Towel also uses a centre-slit but without a loop: it is designed to drape through or over your longer irons rather than attach to the bag.

Every other fixing, from a towel ring to a zip pull or a carabiner, is walked through bag by bag in how to attach a golf towel to any bag.

Which golf towel has a hanging loop?

The Tour Golf Towel has a hanging loop, plus a reinforced centre-slit. It measures 40 × 100cm in 400GSM waffle microfibre, and the loop threads through the D-ring or zip pull of a stand bag or carry bag. The Magnetic Golf Towel attaches with its magnet instead, and the Caddy Golf Towel has no loop.

What size golf towel do I need?

Match the size to your bag. The Magnetic Golf Towel is 40 × 65cm, compact for a buggy or trolley. The Tour Golf Towel is 40 × 100cm, giving a wet end and a dry end. The Caddy Golf Towel is 55 × 105cm and covers the whole bag. Size times density decides how long it keeps working.

What is the difference between microfibre and cotton for a golf towel?

Microfibre and cotton behave differently on course. The 400GSM waffle-weave microfibre on the Magnetic and Tour towels absorbs quickly, dries fast, and has a textured surface that lifts dirt from grooves. Cotton absorbs more slowly but holds moisture longer, useful for longer cleaning jobs. The PINSEEKER Caddy towel uses 550GSM cotton for its weight and drape, which keeps it anchored through the clubs naturally. Neither is universally better: microfibre suits most bag setups, cotton suits golfers who prefer the caddy-style drape method.

What are golf towels used for?

Golf towels clean grooves and clubfaces, wipe the ball before a putt, dry grips, and cover the clubs when the weather turns. A 400GSM waffle microfibre towel lifts dirt from grooves on contact. Use one every round, not only wet ones, because dirty grooves and damp grips matter in dry conditions too.
