PUMA Golf Review
PUMA Golf is an athletic-first apparel and footwear range: performance polos, layering pieces and golf shoes built on running-shoe comfort principles, plus the Arnold Palmer Collection for a more traditional look. It is a strong fit for players who walk and play in changeable weather, and a weaker fit for buyers who want strictly conservative country-club styling.

How we reviewGolf Apparel & ShoesQuick verdict
An athletic brand applying running and training design to golf. The shoes are the standout: comfortable enough to walk 18 in, with a real choice between spikeless and spiked traction. The apparel range is complete enough to dress a season without shopping elsewhere.
Golf shoes
The footwear range spans spikeless athletic models and replaceable-spike performance shoes. Spikeless models suit dry, firm courses and walkers who want one shoe for the range and the round; spiked models are the pick for wet turf and hilly layouts. Waterproof warranty periods are published per model and are the specification worth comparing.
Polos and shirts
Performance polos use moisture-moving synthetic knits with stretch, cut for a swing rather than a desk. Fits run from tailored to relaxed across the range, so check the specific product page rather than assuming a house fit.
Layering and outerwear
Quarter zips, vests, wind shells and rain layers cover the shoulder-season conditions where most rounds are lost to discomfort. A wind vest plus a light shell handles the majority of autumn golf in the Midwest and Northeast.
Arnold Palmer Collection
A separate, more traditional line under the Arnold Palmer name, for players who want classic golf styling without leaving the catalog. Worth knowing about if the main seasonal range reads too loud for your club.
Women's range
The women's catalog carries its own polos, layering and footwear rather than recoloring the men's line, including an Arnold Palmer women's range. Size availability varies by season, so sale pages are worth checking early.
Value
Against our value criterion, mid-range polos and spikeless shoes compete well with equivalent technical apparel, and the brand's men's and women's sale pages regularly carry outgoing colorways at a real discount. Premium outerwear is priced with the rest of the technical market.
Who PUMA Golf is best for
Walkers, players in changeable weather, and anyone who prefers athletic fit and construction to traditional golf tailoring. The Arnold Palmer line covers the buyer who wants the opposite.
Potential drawbacks
Styling is a genuine consideration at clubs with strict dress codes, and the most breathable footwear gives up some weather protection. Check the published waterproof warranty before buying a mesh or knit model for wet-weather use.
Final verdict
A complete, well-priced golf apparel and footwear range whose real strength is comfort over a walked round. Start with the shoes, add a layering piece, and buy the seasonal range from the sale pages where you can.

What we like
- + Golf shoe range covers both spikeless and replaceable-spike traction systems
- + Published waterproof warranties on the performance footwear lines
- + Deep layering catalog: quarter zips, vests, wind shells and rain layers
- + Arnold Palmer Collection offers a traditional alternative to the athletic styling
- + Men's and women's ranges are both maintained rather than one being an afterthought
What we do not
- - Bold colorways dominate the seasonal range, which will not suit every dress code
- - Knit and mesh uppers trade weather protection for breathability
- - Premium layering pieces sit at full technical-outerwear prices
Who this is best for
- Golfers who walk the course and want trainer-level comfort underfoot
- Players building a layering system for spring and autumn rounds
- Buyers who want a full outfit from one catalog rather than four
Worth comparing against
Where another option is a better fit, we say so.
Tee Box
Golf apparel and accessories with a different styling mix at comparable prices.
Traditional golf apparel brands
More conservative cuts and colorways for strict dress codes.
General running brands
Cheaper technical layers, but cuts are not designed for a golf swing.
Common questions
- Are PUMA golf shoes waterproof?
- Several performance models publish a stated waterproof warranty period. Knit and mesh models prioritize breathability instead, so check the specification on the individual product page.
- Spikeless or spiked for most amateurs?
- Spikeless suits dry, firm courses and walkers. Replaceable spikes are the better choice for wet turf, morning dew and hilly courses.
- What is the Arnold Palmer Collection?
- A traditional-styling golf line carried under the Arnold Palmer name, offered in both men's and women's ranges.
- Is the sizing athletic or relaxed?
- Both exist in the range. Fits are listed per product, and the athletic cuts run closer to the body than classic golf tailoring.
