Golf Snoods

A golf snood is a garment that covers the neck and chin of a golfer and is usually made of wool, synthetic fibre or cotton.

Golf snoods are worn to protect the player's head, neck, ears and mouth from cold and wind. It is made of fleece or wool material, with a drawstring at the back to tighten it around the neck.

Modern golf snoods are designed to make you feel more comfortable and look cooler while out on the course, with many players opting for snoods to keep warm on cold days – helping them focus on the game and not worry about the elements.

Along with base layers, mid layers and wooly hats, golf snoods have become an essential piece of winter clothing for modern golfers who don’t want the cold weather to keep them off the course for weeks at a time.

Unlike scarves, which are prone to come undone and get in the way of your swing, snoods are perfect for golf as they stay in place and provide maximum protection to your neck, face and chest – keeping out the cold and wind while you play.

Due to their popularity, there is a growing choice of golf snoods in varying styles, colours and materials. To help you find the right one for you, we’ve identified the best golf snoods currently available below.
