The Only Golf Shorts Worth Wearing Right Now

From tailored pleated styles to performance-driven staples, these are 20 golf shorts worth considering this season.

There was a time when finding a pair of golf shorts meant choosing between a few shades of khaki and hoping the fit wasn't too aggressive in either direction. Thankfully, those days are behind us.
Today's golf shorts come in just about every shape, fabric, and silhouette imaginable. Some lean heavily into performance with lightweight stretch fabrics and technical details. Others borrow inspiration from tailoring, workwear, and lifestyle apparel to create something that feels a little more personal. The result is a category that has become one of the most versatile pieces in a golfer's wardrobe.
Whether you're looking for something relaxed and modern, clean and traditional, or capable of pulling double duty off the course, there's never been a better time to shop for golf shorts. These 20 options represent some of the best styles available right now, spanning established golf brands, emerging labels, and a few unexpected names worth knowing.
