30 Genius Golf Furniture Ideas
Got some old golf gear you don't know what do with? Here are some genius ideas to turn your extra equipment into your next statement furniture piece...
As we all try harder to live more sustainably, and with the rising popularity of upcycling, there has never been a better time to dust off your old golf equipment and take on a new project. If you are a DIY lover, or simply don't want to say goodbye to that special club, why not try out one of Pinterest's 30 genius golf furniture ideas...
A Hat Rack
Not ready to throw out that special 7-iron that once striped a ball to two-feet in front of the adoring clubhouse balcony? Why not give it a new life as your sturdy, dependable hat rack.
A Coat Rack
We have all been there. A bad swing and an angry swipe with the fairway wood and before you know it the head has come off. After you make the tough decision to buy a brand new fairway wood, keep hold of the old head to make a great addition to any cloakroom. Only a few more bad swings until you can complete the set!
Not a big fairway wood fan, why not try it out with irons or even grips as demonstrated below...
A Wine Rack
You played phenomenally in your club's winter vino trot over the festive period, but now you have a dilemma on your hands... where are you going to store your prize? Any good wine rack needs a touch of class, and what better way to show your combined love for golf and a cheeky merlot than with one of these two pieces of retro kit.
A Corkscrew
You can't invest all that time in creating a stylish golf wine rack, and then leave the bottles unopened to collect dust. The beauty of this corkscrew is it creates a great segway at dinner parties for you to tell that story about your hole-in-one struck with that very club.
A Kitchen Roll Holder
One of the slightly simpler projects, for anyone who wants to ease themselves in from a DIY perspective. Still, this functional design serves a purpose in any kitchen and also gives you a chance to show off the sweet spot etched into the club face after years of puring your fairway wood right out of the middle.

A Key Holder
I can't introduce this piece without using a horrendous golf-themed rhyme that I will apologise for in advance. It's time to 'hang your keys on your tees' with this environmentally friendly way to reuse your old or broken pegs. Why not freestyle it and include a couple of pink castle tees to spice up your project.
A Chair (or six)
Do you have a big event coming up? Want a feature piece to wow your guests? Or perhaps a comfortable addition to your everyday home life?
Sit back, relax, and look no further than this series of stunning seating options, that will also help you to clear your garage of that old golf gear you have been meaning to shift...
A Table
Strap in folks, because this is quite the series of golf-themed tables. You may not have ever realised you need an item like this in your life, but trust me... you will never look back.
An old bag is one of those items that never quite makes it from the shed to the recycling centre, so why not put it to good use? Paired with some astroturf and a few high stools, this certainly wouldn't look at of place on the terrace.
Rather than losing your golf balls in the trees, or throwing them in the lake after your second consecutive double-bogey, why not hold a few back to create this statement table? If you are feeling super creative, you could mark each ball with the course you used it on for a feature piece that really tells a story of your golfing journey.
Another simple project for those wanting to dabble in the DIY golf furniture game. Be sure to test it out though, before you sit down with your loved ones and find that maybe you should have used four clubs rather than three...
While I admit I am now running low on table-related humour, I must say that simplicity can often lead to the most classic finish. Wooden top, 'wood'en feet (excuse the pun), and plenty of happy memories created sharing your golf tales around this table.
A Sink
You will have to be a brave person to mess with the plumbing in your own home, but perhaps you are particularly skilled in this area and see the potential that a golf bag sink could add to your house.
I hope that bag is waterproof.
A Towel rack
Staying in the bathroom now with two very sleek towel rack designs. Give yourself a reminder every time you get out of the shower of the time your new putter-style towel rack once served another purpose... sinking monster putts to take the cash in your weekly social 4-ball.
A Chandelier
Chubby Chandler tweeted this image in 2014 of The Belfry Hotel's chandelier made out of Ping clubs. Wow. No more words needed!
A Lamp
Want to upcycle a whole set of your childhood golf clubs that you have inexplicably kept for far longer than necessary? Why not shine a little light on the problem with this illuminating piece.
A Fence
I can't say I have ever needed to build a fence, but if I ever had the urge I would certainly consider this clever design. What better way to define the out-of-bounds in your home!
A Wind Chime
Let's be frank, wind has never really been a friend of ours on the course. Why not build a few bridges with an old foe and create this elegant wind chime.
A Garden Owl Ornament
Not the type of birdie you are used too from a golfing perspective, but a great addition to any garden nonetheless.
A '19th Hole' Sign
Many a happy memory has been made in the 19th hole, usually trying to forget or celebrate the 18 that came previously. Why not do something nice for your local club or re-brand your home bar with this '19th Hole' sign.
A Tie Rack
We finish our genius golf furniture ideas journey with a couple of wardrobe staples - the tie rack. Why force yourself to sift through a draw and pull out the same tie for work every week, when you can have a functional system to proudly display your collection.
You could even name it... (last golf pun, I promise)
Tie-ger Woods, perhaps.
