Does UPS® Ship Golf Clubs?
THE SHORT ANSWER
Shipping Golf Clubs With UPS vs Luggage Forward
Yes, UPS ships golf clubs, but a golf travel bag moves through the UPS network as an oversized parcel. It needs to be packed in a box for its contents to be covered, its size usually adds an additional handling charge to the base rate, and on an international trip you complete the customs forms yourself.
Luggage Forward has partnered with UPS since 2004 to remove those steps. Your clubs ship in your own travel bag with no box, on one all-inclusive rate, and our specialists prepare every customs document for you.
Travel Light
Breeze through the airport and avoid paying extra airline baggage fees . It’s like a travel agent for your bags, so you can carry less and travel light.
Track Your Bags
Once your bags are on their way, our proprietary system monitors key milestones in their journey to ensure everything stays on track. As soon as delivery is complete, we’ll notify you by email so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your luggage is ready and waiting for you.
On-Time Guarantee
Relax. When you send your luggage with us, it is guaranteed to arrive on time or we’ll refund you double what you paid to ship the bag.
Premium Service
From hassle-free pickups to on-time deliveries, our white glove service ensures your luggage arrives at your destination stress-free, allowing you to focus on your journey.

Shipping Golf Clubs With UPS: Common Questions
Yes. UPS will carry a golf travel bag, but it moves through the network as an oversized parcel rather than as luggage. The bag needs to be boxed for its contents to be covered, and its dimensions usually trigger an additional handling charge on top of the base rate.
Luggage Forward has worked in partnership with UPS since 2004. Your clubs ship in your own travel bag with no box, on one all-inclusive rate. Get an instant quote for your trip.
In practice, yes. UPS accepts an unboxed golf bag, but the bag and its contents are not covered for loss or damage unless they are packed in a box or corrugated container, and an unboxed bag attracts an additional handling charge.
With Luggage Forward, no box is needed. Pack your clubs in a hard or soft travel case, just as you would for the airline.
Yes, UPS ships to most countries, but an international golf bag is a customs shipment. You classify the contents, complete the commercial invoice and declaration forms, and answer any query the destination country raises.
Luggage Forward prepares and submits every customs document for you, so your clubs clear the border and arrive at the course before your tee time.
UPS runs one of the largest transportation networks in the world, and Luggage Forward uses it. Booking direct means sourcing a box, weighing and measuring the bag, buying the label, filling in customs forms, and managing any claim yourself.
With Luggage Forward you book online and we handle the rest: doorstep pickup, no box, all-inclusive pricing, customs preparation, door-to-door tracking, complimentary value protection, and an on-time guarantee.
Golf club shipping starts at $129 for a small golf bag and $149 for a large golf bag, all-inclusive. Faster delivery speeds and international routes are priced higher, and every rate is quoted upfront before you book. See our full guide to shipping golf clubs for bag sizes and delivery options.
