For us northern Europeans, the beanie hat is more than one of the many useful golf accessories to be found in the depths of our golf bags – it’s a way of life. I live in mine for six months of the year…I’m wearing it now!
And for those of us who do semi-enjoy hacking our way around frost-tipped winter tracks, the golf beanie is right at the top of the pre-round checklist as keeping your head warm is imperative for maintaining body temperature, allowing you to stay focussed on your game.

So, instead of moaning about it being too cold to play as you knife a chip across the dancefloor, why not ditch your best golf cap for a couple of months and style it out in one of the many beanies available from some of the leading brands in the game. The only question you need to ask yourself is, ‘To pom or not to pom?’

What do you need to know when buying a new beanie? Not a huge amount more than is it warm, comfortable, and versatile enough to be worn out in public without damaging your reputation. If you were going to ask yourself a few pre-purchase questions, however, here is what’s worth considering:
Material
Without a doubt, the most important factor to consider. The materials used in the construction of beanie hats will determine the level of warmth, durability, washability, breathability, affordability, and every other ‘ability’.
Synthetic – The vast majority of golf beanies are made from acrylic materials that are a less expensive alternative to wool and are also hard-wearing, and easy to clean. Fleece is also a synthetic material commonly used in golf beanies, renowned for its softness and breathability.
Natural – Wool is a natural fiber with an unmatched ability to retain heat but usually requires special laundering. Cotton is another natural fiber that is machine washable and offers more durability and affordability than wool.
Comfort
With rounds lasting more than four hours, the last thing you want is an itchy, ill-fitting hat that’s uncomfortable and distracting. We suggest trying on a variety of makes and materials so you can establish what you like and rule out what you don’t. Also, be sure to flick through any customer reviews you can find in case you can get a steer for how the beanie performs in the comfort department.
Washable
With the aim of the game being to retain heat, beanie hats are prone to a build-up of sweat, and therefore it’s best to make sure you can throw your beanie in the wash with the rest of your golfing wardrobe. Be warned that beanies made from wool are unlikely to be suitable for washing machines.
Versatility
Perhaps overlooked but it’s highly likely that the golf course isn’t your only exposure to cold weather across the year. Therefore why not consider a beanie that will also pair well with your off-course wardrobe? There are lots of more classic, understated designs available so you don’t need to walk around town with golf manufacturer’s names and logos blazoned across your forehead.
Style
Beanie hats are great fun when it comes to styling, allowing you to be as flamboyant as you wish. There are a myriad of options available from the biggest brands in the game allowing you to choose the colors and styling that match your on-course personality. To pom or not to pom? – the choice is yours!
Can you wear a beanie hat while golfing?
Absolutely. For golfers who don't have the luxury of playing 12 months of the year in hot climates, a beanie hat is an essential part of their winter golfing wardrobe. A beanie hat is one of the best ways of maintaining body temperature on chilly days and if combined with other winter-appropriate garments will enable golfers to remain focussed and enjoy their round.
What material should golf beanie hats be made from?
This comes down to personal preference. If you are looking for a beanie hat that is easy to clean, durable, and towards the lower end of the price range, then you will likely be opting for a blend of synthetic materials or perhaps cotton. Beanies made from natural fibers such as wool perform best at retaining heat but are not as convenient to wash and are generally priced higher.
Can golf beanie hats be worn in the rain?
Golf beanie hats can be worn in the rain, although, they will quickly become saturated in heavy downpours. They can provide adequate protection in light drizzle, but when the heavens open, you should reach for the brolly, and if you don't have one, check out our guide to the best golf umbrellas for some inspiration.
Which brand makes the best golf beanie hats?
Several of golf's biggest brands including Titleist, FootJoy, TaylorMade, Ping, and many more offer excellent options in the beanie hat department. There isn't one particular brand that stands out above the rest so your decision should be based on your preferred materials and styling.
