The 6 Best Golf Bags with a Putter Well [2022 Rankings]

Your putter is your money stick. The club gains, saves, or leaks shots in an instant.

Therefore, you should protect this precious tool, to achieve favorable results on the golf course. One way to look after it is to find a golf bag with a dedicated putter well.

In this guide, I unveil my 6 best golf bags with a putter well for 2022. You’ll notice that these are all cart bags, which offer ample storage space but are not conducive to being carried. The list features a range of affordable, mid-range, and premium constructions for every golfer’s budget.

Speaking of cart bags. Many modem constructions feature 14 slots, ensuring each club enjoys complete privacy. Learn how to properly organize a 14-slot golf bag once you have read the article below.

1. MacGregor VIP Deluxe

The MacGregor VIP Deluxe golf cart bag is an affordable construction with an oversized putter well with sufficient space for a jumbo grip. A 14-way top divider greets you to keep every golf club in a separate compartment, while the bag offers ample pockets for the average golfer to store the basics.

Macgregor fitted the MacGregor VIP Deluxe with a Strap-Thru feature that allows the cord to run under the front pocket. You’ll find that it gives you access to the front pocket while keeping it secured to the cart.

In addition, the design team fitted the golf bag with six pockets to give you ample storage space for your standard apparel and accessories. In addition, it features a cooler pocket which keeps your drinks chilled while roaming the golf course.

Overall, the MacGregor VIP Deluxe golf bag is an affordable model for the average golfer who operates a pushcart on a budget.

Pros

• Affordable
• Oversized putter well to fit jumbo grips
• 14-way top
• Remains fastened to your cart
• 6 pockets

Cons

• It contains fewer pockets than other cart bags
• The durability is questionable

2. TaylorMade Select ST Cart Bag

The TaylorMade 2022 Select ST Cart bag kicks off the mid-range products with a robust top structure, full-length dividers, sufficient storage space, and 7 colors to choose from. Its moderate price point and exceptional organization are ideal for mid and high-handicappers seeking a reputable brand.

A 15-way top setup and full-length dividers ensure that each club receives a separate slot, making them easy to add or remove. Plus, a dedicated putter slot caters to jumbo grips. You’ll notice that the full-length dividers prevent your shafts from colliding while you walk and scratch one another.

Although the Select ST Cart bag carries fewer pockets than other designs, I found it sufficient to hold what I needed. It featured parts for my rangefinder, golf balls, apparel, and beverages. However, golfers who prepare for every scenario may prefer extra compartments.

Lastly, you’ll appreciate the accessory loop,  with a velcro attachment that allows you to store your glove outside the bag during your round.

Pros

• Moderately affordable
• 15 way top with full length dividers
• Specific slot for your putter
• 7 pockets
• Available in 7 colors

Cons

• It contains fewer pockets than other cart bags
• It does not contain a loop for the cart strap to go through

3. Founders Club Premium Cart Bag

The Founders Club Premium Cart bag is a mid-range model featuring a 14-way top divider and a putter well. In addition, I was impressed by the storage setup, design options, and overall quality of the construction.

You’ll notice that the bag provides a 14-way top, giving each club a private slot. Plus, a putter well that fits grips up to 1 ¾ inch in diameter. Unfortunately, it does not cater to jumbo SuperStroke putter grips.

I noticed the 9 zippered compartments offered plenty of space to carry everything needed on the golf course. The two long side apparel pockets were deep and held all my rain gear, while the insulated cooler section kept my beverages ice cold. In addition, the velour lined valuables pocket design protected my watch, phone, and wallet.

Finally, I appreciated that Founders Club offered these cart bags in 8 colors, to appeal to all golfers. My main gripe with this product is that it struggles to hold clubs with extended shaft lengths. For example, an extra 0.5-inches sees your clubs stick out like a sore thumb.

Pros

• 14-way top
• Separate putter well
• 9 zippered pockets
• Available in 8 colors
• 12 month warranty

Cons

• The putter well does not fit SuperStroke Jumbo grips
• Lengthened shafts may stick out at the top of the bag

4. Mizuno BR-D4C Cart Bag

We turn up the heat on our best golf bags with a putter well list as we move towards mid and premium-priced products. The Mizuno BR-D4C earns a place at the table thanks to its optimal storage space and quality construction.

Mizuno opted for a 14-way top of the bag design and went the extra mile to include a full-length divider setup. You’ll find that your clubs remain separated to prevent scratches and the clubs entangling.

Now for the impressive part. The designers managed to place 20 side pockets and compartments on the BR-D4C to make it the best golf cart bag for storage space. Among them are a valuable pocket with waterproof zippers, apparel sections, and multiple slots for tees, ball markers, and ionomer products.

The last feature of note are the rubberized utility handles and the single shoulder strap. You’ll notice that the handles simplify the removal of your bag from the trunk of your vehicle, and the strap offers a comfy carry for a limited time. The lack of dual shoulder straps leads to severe discomfort during your round.

Pros

• Maximum storage space
• 14 way top
• Full length dividers prevent scratches to your shafts
• Push cart notch keeps the bag fastened to the trolley or car.
• Rubberized grip handles

Cons

• Expensive compared to other cart bags
• It is challenging to access some of the pockets.

5. Callaway ORG 14

The Callaway ORG 14 is the best-looking golf bag with a putter well. The design is simple, clean, and effective, and compliments a well-organized construction. In addition to being a cart-friendly bag, the brand fitted hooks and straps to restrict movement on a push trolley.

Like the other cart bags, the ORG 14 boasts a 14-way top setup with full-length dividers to keep every golf club apart. You’ll notice it simplifies removing and adding the club to the slot before and after each shot.

I appreciated that Callaway upped the ante with the putter well by adding a TPE Overmold, ensuring optimal shaft protection. Besides the club slots, you’ll find that the ORG 14 offers 11 pockets to keep your accessories, valuables, and apparel for your day out.

Pros

• High-quality construction
• Increased storage space
• Full length dividers
• 14 way top
• Special cart strap pass through

Cons

This high-quality bag contains a 15-way top and full-length dividers to keep every club from your driver to wedges and putter separated and safe. In addition, you’ll notice a dedicated putter well that handles jumbo grips.

A neat feature that Titleist offers is a removable and customizable ball pocket. Let yourself feel like a Pro, and place your name on it, or add your company logo to market your business to fellow golfers.

Furthermore, you’ll find that the Cart 15 bag contains 11 zippered pockets to store all your belongings for your day out. Finally, the design team placed an integrated cart strap tunnel simplifying the process of tightening the bag to your vehicle and ensuring easy access to forward-facing pockets.
