Why you can trust Golf Monthly

A versatile, water-resistant stand bag, the Callaway Fairway C HD is a strong addition to Callaway’s range of stand bags. Let’s first address the elephant in the room… yes – it’s orange, and I love it!
The feedback I have had from members on the golf course has been wholly positive, with the bold color scheme making it impossible not to be noticed. The palette is certainly a conversation starter, and after you stripe your drive down the middle of the fairway at the first tee, you’ll look great striding confidently after it accompanied by this innovative design.
The bag isn’t superficial at all, however, and in fact has some excellent practical features that help golfers to enjoy their round. The four-way divider uses Callaway’s ‘shaft-shield’ rubber overmold, protecting your clubs and keeping them well-organized.
A water-resistant fabric means you don’t need to worry about being caught out when the weather turns, and the addition of a fully waterproof valuables pocket provides that extra peace of mind and protection for the things that matter most to you.
The base is cleverly designed to provide great support, meaning the legs feel stable and sturdy on all surfaces. A handy velcro attachment for your glove and a pocket for your pencil also allows you to go about your business with ease. Whether you are playing 9 holes, a full-18 or fancy a 36-hole day, the comfortable straps mean you won’t have to worry about irritability.
A total of nine pockets give you plenty of space to transport everything you could need on the golf course, and while the zips can be a bit stiff to operate, you can play with the comfort of knowing all items are secure and protected against the elements.
