Pinemeadow Golf Courier Portfolio Carry Bag

Starting with the positives - this bag is VERY lightweight. I can see it being very good if you're playing a par 3 and only wanted to take a smaller number of clubs. It has just enough pockets - 1 that JUST holds balls, one slightly bigger one for misc. items, and a shoe pocket (as long as you don't have big feet.) The strap is OK - but I wouldn't want to carry it for too long as it is pretty stiff.The stability and functionality of the bag, however, are negatives. The bag doesn't even stand up by itself, really. There is only 1 support post - a spine along the bag of the bag. The front of the bag just kind of slumps. And the bag is all one compartment. With no dividers, clubs bang together and get tangled - even if you're not carrying a full set. As other reviewers have mentioned - it's too deep for shorter clubs - even a 34" putter.I am not sure this is worth it for the price...but I suppose if you just wanted a light practice bag or something that was less bulky to travel with (but there is no cover) - this might work.

The Pinemeadow is a good Sunday bag. I ordered it after looking at a few bags at the local golf shops. There are better bags and there are worse. The Pinemeadow bag has a rigid bottom while the rest of the bag will flatten out. It is the type of bag which will not stand up by itself. There are bags of this type which will, but since I am using this only as a travel bag and will put it on a cart it didn't matter. It will easily carry about 8 clubs and has plenty of pockets for all of the accessories. It looks good and it will function well for that Sunday walking round or travel. This bag will flatten down from front to back except for the base, but not from top to bottom. It is fairly rigid along the back where the strap is located. It will not fold. This is important if you are using it in a cart, so that the bag will sit up in the cart. The bag seems well made and will likely last me a long time as a occasional use bag.The other bag options which I discovered were to have a completely rigid bad, which takes up more storage room or a completely collapsible bag which might be a problem in a cart. This is a reasonable choice for a Sunday bag.

I get this is designed to be a compact, cheap golf bag. But it's incredibly cheap. It has a fairly weak steel bar to give it structure, though adding clubs helps. (Although, good luck fitting 13 clubs in here.) It has the shoulder strap and carrying handle.It has three pockets...well, sort of. It has one large pocket for jackets, shoes (maybe...probably only sandals), towel, or whatever. Then it has two pockets on the other side that are hardly even pockets at all. They look more like they are designed to let the bag expand a bit. They are long, slim pockets. I guess you could stack a row of golf balls in them, but they are really awkward. In fact, I'm not sure that they designed this bag with the thought of where you'd put your golf balls. I know most bags have more pockets than you know what to do with, but this is a bit extreme in the opposite direction.For $50, I think you can do better than this bag.

This bag can only carry a few clubs, which is not a bad thing. Sometimes you only want a few clubs. Maybe you only own a few clubs or are at the pitch-n-putt. Another scenario is night golfing, especially when you aren't supposed to be there. This bag is easy to run with. It has ample pockets for holding stuff too.It does need a few improvements though. The bright yellow side panels should be both concealable and glow in the dark. Flashlights not only announce your presence but really trash your night vision and it would be best if you never had to use one. Glow in the dark materials would make it easy to find your bag. Concealable would be good because sometimes you don’t want that bag to be so easily seen. At this point, the easy solution is a strip of the right material tied to the club divider so that it can be pulled out and tucked in as needed. Regardless, night golfing is more scenic with dark adapted eyes.Regarding the club divider, some would like it. Others prefer a pocket that can be cinched down or that has a cover or something to keep those clubs from bouncing around and maybe even falling out while jogging, running or climbing.

As far as carry bags go this one is built pretty solidly. It's woven nylon and tough for the most part. It holds all of my clubs pretty easily and has a divider on the top to keep them divided. It has two long zip up pockets as well for balls, tees, etc. I do like the padding on the shoulder strap.A few things I didn't like: The two pockets aren't shaped well, or built from the same strong woven material, and they zip down the full length instead of over the top so that it is hard to get to what you need without the possibility of having things falls out. The biggest down side is that the bag isn't sturdy and wont stand well even with clubs in it due to the lack of vertical support. It sags and falls easily. It doesn't even prop up well.For the current price (around fifty five) I think it's over priced a bit. In my opinion, simply an ok bag at this price and with this quality.

I'm a recreational golfer and occasionally play casual nine hole rounds with family and friends, or practice at the local driving range and putting greens. This lightweight golf bag was exactly what I needed to carry my sparse collection of clubs, balls, and accessories. Right now I'm only using one driver, three wedges, and one putter but this bag only has one divider across the top, so the clubs shuffle, scrape, and bang against each other. I solved that problem by inserting a few cotton towels between the clubs to keep them stationary and prevent damage. The bag should have club dividers built in. There are three outer, fully accessible, and zippered compartments to hold the tees, balls, and other accessories. This bag meets my requirements for now but I'll definitely look for a more advanced one as I improve my game.
