Golf Club Storage Ideas For The Garage

---

It’s a great idea to store your golf clubs in the garage for the short term and not just in the offseason. Sure, it’s easy to leave your clubs in the trunk of your car, but you’re risking getting nicks and dents on them moving around. Trunks also aren’t well insulated, so the temperature and humidity inside of them can vary from extremely hot to extremely cold, sometimes on the same day. 

On the other hand, storing your golf cart and golf clubs in your garage doesn’t require a lot of space. You can use a variety of items to both store and organize your golf clubs in your garage.

Golf Club Wall Rack/Hooks

A mountable golf club wall rack is a great place to store your golf clubs and golf accessories in your garage, saving you a lot of room. In addition, you can hang your golf bag and clubs on them for easy storage and access.

You can use wall-mounted hooks to hang your bag or golf clubs on the wall. Hanging them on hooks will keep them off of the floor and out of the way in the garage.

A rack with shelves is a great place to store your bag and your clubs so that you can organize them for easy access.  

In Your Golf Bag

So long as your garage is a cool, dry place, you can leave your clubs in the golf bag and store your golf bag in the garage when you aren’t playing. You can also keep the clubs in your golf bag and put the rain cover over the top of the bag as an extra layer of protection. Make sure your equipment is dry before you store them. You can also take the golf clubs out of the bag, clean them, and put them back in the bag for storage.

Golf Club Storage Rack

There are storage racks designed specifically for your golf equipment. They will allow you to take everything out of your golf bag and place them on shelves or cubbies to hold tees, balls, golf gloves, and golf shoes. They might also have compartments to store your clubs and your putter.  

Out of the Golf Bag Against a Wall

If you’ve ever gotten your bags and clubs wet before, you’ve probably taken everything out of the bag to dry and leaned your clubs against the wall. It’s not the most elegant solution, but it gives you easy access and the ability to catalog your golf equipment.

Golf Club Storage Container

A golf club storage container or a hard golf travel case is an excellent option for storing your golf equipment and accessories in the garage. Some models will have room for your golf bag and your clubs.

They will also have pockets for your golf shoes, golf balls, umbrella, and everything you usually keep in your golf bag.

An added advantage of a dedicated golf club storage container is storing them in your garage to give you more room for other items. They also can protect your clubs and golf grips from changes in temperature and high humidity.

You can also use a storage unit to store your golf clubs, golf club organizer, or golf club storage container. Just make sure that it’s environmentally controlled and can be locked so that your clubs are secure.

Where To Store Golf Clubs In Winter For Garages

---

Garage storage for your golf gear over the winter months will help protect your equipment. Ideally, your golf bag storage area will be climate-controlled. Both cold and high temperatures can weaken the epoxy that secures the clubhead to the shaft, and they can cause golf grips to crack.

Keep your clubs away from the opening of your garage, where high and low temperatures can come in when the door opens and closes. A golf organizer is an excellent way to store your golf clubs and golf equipment if you have the room. In addition, a golf organizer will give you easy access to clean and repair your equipment.

Shelves, racks, and wall hooks are all good ways to store or hang your golf bag or golf clubs and your pushcart.

In addition, you can use plastic storage bins to store your loose golf equipment like golf balls, golf shoes, golf towels, and tees. Being organized is helpful for when you want to play again and need to restock your golf bag.

FAQ Section

Is it okay to store golf clubs in the garage?

It is okay to store your golf clubs in the garage if the storage space is climate-controlled or a cool, dry place. However, cold and high temperatures combined with high humidity can damage your clubs.

If you don’t have room in your garage or your house, you may want to look at storing your equipment somewhere else.

A storage unit or other storage facility might be a good place for the long-term storage of your golf bag and equipment. As long as the space is climate-controlled or does not get too hot or cold, your equipment will be fine. It’s also essential to look for places with low humidity so your carbon steel shafts don’t rust.

How do I organize my golf clubs in my garage?

One way to organize your golf clubs in your garage is to keep them in your golf bag. Many golfers have multiple sets of older clubs that they store in their older golf bags to have a backup set if something breaks.

You can also keep them in your bag on your golf push cart. This way, both your golf bag and your golf push cart are in the same place and can be easily accessed.

You can buy a golf rack or golf storage container to organize your clubs. Wall-mounted storage shelves and hooks are suitable for storing your clubs and keeping them off the floor and out of the way.

Be creative with the shelving, containers, bins, and wall-mounted hooks you currently have and repurpose them to hang or store your golf equipment. Of course, you don’t have to buy something explicitly built to organize your golf gear. Still, they make organizing items like golf shoes and golf balls easier.

What temperature can you store golf clubs?

The best way to store your golf clubs and other golf equipment is in a temperate or climate-controlled environment—around room temperature with low humidity, like your living room.

Remember, both cold temperatures and high temperatures, along with high humidity, can damage both the epoxy that secures the clubhead to the shaft and the grips.

Large temperature swings between high and low temperatures can also damage your golf equipment. Repeated heat cycling and the expansion and contraction of the clubs’ materials can weaken them.

A good rule of thumb is that whether you find it comfortable around room temperature and low humidity, is also a good environment to store your golf equipment.

Can cold weather damage golf clubs?

Yes, cold weather can damage your golf clubs. Freezing temperatures can dry out the epoxy that glues the clubhead to the shaft. Dry, freezing weather can also crack the golf grips on your golf clubs.

Hot, humid weather can also damage your golf clubs. So it’s important to make sure that your equipment is dry before you store them for any amount of time.

Conclusion: Research by Tellmemoregolf.com

Taking good care of your golf equipment will ensure that your golf clubs stay in good condition and can be played season after season. 

Because of the heat cycling and humidity in most areas, keeping your golf clubs in the trunk of your car can damage the epoxy and the golf grips of your clubs. Storing your golf clubs and push cart doesn’t take a lot of room, and they can be hung up hooks or placed on shelves to give you easy access to them and keep the clutter out of your garage. 

A dedicated golf club storage rack can help organize your equipment and give you easy access to inventory, clean, and repair your clubs. Look for a climate-controlled garage or a storage unit to stay clear of high temperatures, cold temperatures, and high humidity. Store your clubs properly so that you can grab them when you’re ready to play, and they’ll be in great condition and ready for the course.
