Best Bluetooth golf speakers: 5 great picks we love
A quality Bluetooth golf speaker can make almost any round more enjoyable, especially during those long, hot afternoons or slower rounds when there’s plenty of time between shots. What was once considered a golf-course taboo (especially at private clubs) has now become quite common and socially acceptable, with golfers enjoying everything from sports, playlists and podcasts while they play.
Today’s best golf speakers do much more than pump out great sound. Many feature built-in GPS, magnetic cart mounts, all-day battery life and rugged, weather-resistant designs built for the course.
That said, owning a golf speaker also comes with a little responsibility. A few simple etiquette rules go a long way toward making sure everyone enjoys the round. Here are the top-3 must-do’s:
1. Ask your group first
Before you press play, check with your playing partners. Not everyone wants music during their round, and that’s perfectly okay. If even one person would rather play without it, keep the speaker in your bag.
2. Keep it family-friendly
Golf courses are shared spaces. Whether it’s music, podcasts or a live sporting event, choose content that’s appropriate for those around you. You’ll avoid awkward moments, and probably keep the course marshal from paying you a visit.
3. Keep the volume low
Remember, you’re playing golf, not hosting a tailgate. Your speaker should only be audible to your foursome. If players on the next tee box or fairway can hear your music, it’s too loud.
