On the golf course, you’re going to be doing an awful lot of walking, whether you like to carry your bag or ride in a cart. You can’t avoid it. Each step, each swing, puts stress on your feet. We know that golf shoes make a huge difference when it comes to on-course comfort, but we’re willing to bet big money (like, Scottie Scheffler money) that you don’t give enough thought to the socks you wear.
A great pair of socks will make your shoes more comfortable, protect your feet from blisters, keep sweat at bay, and add a bit of personal style to your golf ‘fits. They are the only point of contact between your skin and your shoes, after all, so you might as well put some thought into your choices. You spend your hard earned cash on golf shoes, but why not toss in a few extra bucks for a good pair of socks? I can assure you, it’s worth it.
For the lovers of tall socks, we’ve got them. If you prefer a no-show sock, we’ve got those too. And if you like something in the middle, ankle socks and quarter-crews are there when you need them. You really can’t go wrong (unless you wear no-show socks with full-length pants — just don’t do that).
Don't let socks be the most overlooked golf accessory in your rota? Socks can make or break a day spent on your feet, but somehow they remain an afterthought. Let’s change that.

Del Campo makes some of the absolute best golf socks out there. Equal parts playful and refined, their lineup of quarter crews will become staples in your golf game. They’re a great value if you just buy one, but you won't want just one after seeing the Pimento Pack that just dropped ahead of the first major of the year.

BUY NOWSwiftwick socks are my go-to for running, cycling, and, surprisingly, golf. They have just enough compression to keep your feet comfortable even after walking 36 holes and prevent blisters better than just about any sock I’ve ever tried.
$17 (one pair); $43 (3-pack)
BUY NOWMetalwood’s success is in the little details. The logo is obvious but not overwhelming, the length is just right, and, most importantly, they’re a helluva deal at just $14 per pair.
$14
BUY NOWStance knows its audience. Old heads who skate all get into golf, so they took their tried-and-true styles and designs and crafted a perfect golf sock. I love the quarter-crew (a theme is starting to unfold here), but Stance's crew length and no-shows are great, too.
$17
BUY NOWTiger has had enough trouble with his legs and feet to settle for crappy socks, so you can be sure you’re getting a well-considered sock from his brand, Sun Day Red. They’re affordable, come in a few Tiger-worthy colorways and have an ever-so-subtle embroidered cat logo to remind everyone that if you know, you know.
$15
BUY NOWThe classic, the undeniable, the GOAT. Footjoy makes excellent shoes, as we all know, and their 3-pack of quarter crews is a staple in the drawers of golfers young and old, high handicap to low handicap. Hell, buy nine pairs if you need to — you will end up wanting to wear them every single day.
$24 (3-pack)
BUY NOWBombas has since expanded beyond socks, but they’re one of the first mainstream brands to focus exclusively on making the perfect sock before doing anything else. These golf socks have the perfect amount of cushioning and support, wick sweat with the best of ‘em, and can withstand hundreds of washes without breaking down.
$54 (3-pack)
BUY NOWMacade’s simple Signature Crew sock looks great if you wear them high or scrunch them down a little bit — no matter how you choose to style them, they’re going to add to your outfit. The slight compression is just enough to give your dogs some much needed respite after thousands of steps.
$25
BUY NOWA simple logo makes everything better, especially if it’s the Sugarloaf Social Club arrow logo on fan-favorite Del Campos. These made-in-the-USA beauties are cushioned, comfortable, and match any outfit you can possibly dream up.
$22 (one pair); $60 (3-pack)
BUY NOWManors is becoming a staple in every category, including accessories. These durable crew socks have a subtle embroidered logo on the side, compression through the arch, and oh-so-soft terry cushioning on the bottom. Bonus points for all the neutral colorways.
