Golf style can tell you something about a person before they ever take a swing. The crisp polo. The loud pants. The hoodie worn until somebody says something about it. Everybody has a version of what belongs on the course.
Black-owned golf brands are adding more possibilities. Some bring streetwear and hip-hop into the clubhouse. Others focus on performance apparel, accessories, or a golf ball that earns its place in your bag.
If you’re looking to put a few new names into your rotation, start with these eight.
1. Eastside Golf
Founded by Olajuwon Ajanaku and Earl Cooper, Eastside Golf has built a recognizable identity around a golfer wearing jeans, a sweatshirt, and a gold chain. That logo carries the brand’s point of view: there should be room to bring yourself to the game.
Its clothing moves between golf and everyday life, with performance polos, sweatshirts, hats, and accessories. For readers with Detroit ties, there’s another connection: Ajanaku was living in Detroit when he started the brand, which later opened its first U.S. store at Detroit Metro Airport.

2. Trap Golf
Trap Golf brings golf, art, and hip-hop into the same conversation. Its “Golf Is Dope” message captures the attitude, while the collection gives golfers plenty of ways to wear it.
Think graphic tees, hoodies, headwear, and polos with personality. Wayne Birch and Aaron Munn are among the people behind a brand built to connect with golfers and people who haven’t picked up a club yet. The appeal is easy to understand: golf can be competitive, social, creative, and fun all at once.

3. LBOW Golf
If your golf wardrobe could use a little more confidence, LBOW Golf makes a case for going bold.
Founded by physician and golfer Dr. Jaeson Courseault, the brand offers expressive polos, hats, and accessories. Its name stands for “Live Boldly, Overcome Weakness,” and its logo draws on the raised-elbow celebration of a fist pump. The designs suit golfers who enjoy bringing some personality to the first tee.

4. FöR Golf Apparel
Kelli Brooks discovered golf during the pandemic and turned that interest into FöR Golf Apparel, a Black woman-owned brand based in Maryland.
The collection includes performance polos, hats, and streetwear, with an emphasis on comfort and self-expression. Brooks describes a brand that makes room for the range, the course, and happy hour. That feels familiar to anyone whose favorite part of a round includes the conversation afterward.

Ebony Greens puts Black heritage into its approach to golf apparel.
Founded by Roderick Shawn Summerville, the brand has introduced a “Links to Our Roots” Heritage Collection, connecting its clothing to a broader cultural story. It’s a name to know for golfers interested in how heritage can shape what we wear in a sport with such a strong attachment to tradition.

Greenwood Golf takes the conversation beyond clothing and into something every golfer needs: golf balls.
The Charlotte-based, Black-owned company offers golf balls alongside lifestyle products, with a mission centered on community, diversity, and connection. Founder Chris Word launched the business with functionality and affordability in mind. If you’re curious about supporting a Black-owned brand through something you actually play, Greenwood belongs on your list.

7. Renegade Golf
Renegade Golf is another name worth knowing when it’s time to restock your golf balls.
The Black-owned company’s Mbu line achieved conformance with USGA rules, giving golfers an equipment option they can put into play. Renegade also offers accessories, but its golf balls give the brand a distinct place on this list. Your next sleeve could introduce you to a company you haven’t tried before.

You don’t have to replace everything in your closet or golf bag to discover something new. Start with a polo, a hat, or a sleeve of balls. Give it a round.
