This is Golfer Geeks’ review of the best golf pants for men in 2024.
The golf pants I wear have to be able to go from the course, to church, to anywhere that requires a nice pair of non-jeans pants. (I wear golf pants…rarely. Unlike golf shorts, which I wear probably 300 days a year)
I bought 3 6 pairs of golf pants to test (so far) and all three 5 made the list.
Keep this in mind while reading my reviews:
- I’m 5’7″, 170 lbs and I’ve worked out my entire adult life. So, my legs and rear are not thin.
Our criteria for great golf pants:
- They have to look great.
- Have room for me to move without looking baggy or sloppy.
- Light, comfortable, breathable material.
- Can’t bunch up in the seat and thighs.
- Be durable – the great golf pants ain’t cheap.

Individual Reviews
Adidas Men’s Ultimate365 Pants
- Superb Looks - Superb Fit
- Lightweight - Comfortable
- Plenty Room in Seat & Thighs
- Stretches w/ Movement
- Great pants for the money
- Slimmer fit than I expected
The Adidas Ultimate 365 pants are our #1 Recommendation for the best golf pants for men.
What I like:
- Look great and fit great.
- Comfortable, breathable, high-quality materials and construction.
- Moves well with almost zero bunching or binding in the seat or upper legs.
- Great option for the golf course or anywhere dress-casual pants are appropriate.
What I don’t like:
- Slightly slimmer fit than I expected. (but not slim)
Adidas golf shorts have been the staple of my wardrobe for years. These are the first Adidas pants I’ve tried that I really like…a lot.
The Ultimate 365 pants are great for when the weather cools off, and shorts aren’t an option. And, they’re great for Summer too – if that’s your thing. (it ain’t mine).
Bottom Line – Best bang for your buck without sacrificing quality, looks, comfort, or function.
Callaway Men’s Pro Spin 3.0 Stretch Golf Pants
- Great looks & fit
- Lightweight - Comfortable
- Stretches w/ Movement
- Nada
The Callaway Men’s Pro Spin 3.0 Stretch Golf Pants are next on our list.
What I like:
- These good-looking classic khaki pants have a great fit, too.
- Comfortable, breathable, high-quality materials and construction.
- Ample room in the seat and upper legs with zero bunching or binding.
- Great option for the golf course or anywhere dress-casual pants are appropriate.
What I don’t like:
- Nada.
These look like classic khaki pants to me, but made with modern fabric that moves and stretches with me as I walk.
I get no bunching with walking, lifting my leg up, or squatting. So, the best of all worlds.
Another great pair of khakis for the golf course
Bottom Line – Another excellent bang-for-your-buck selection. Try them, I’ll bet you’ll love them.
Under Armour Men’s Drive Pants
- Great look and fit
- Lightweight & Comfortable
- Stretches and moves well when you move
- Slimmer fit than I what I anticipated
Under Armour Drive golf pants are next on our list.
What I like:
- Excellent fit & quality material.
- They’re lightweight, breathable, and comfortable.
- Minimal bunching made up for by stretchy material.
- Great option for the golf course or anywhere dress-casual pants are appropriate.
What I don’t like:
- They fit slimmer than I anticipated
I expected the Drive pants to fit exactly like the Drive shorts in the seat and thighs.
No so. They’re a much slimmer fit. But, the light, comfortable, and stretchy material makes up for this well.
- This saves them for me, for I am not slim…especially in the seat and thighs.
Bottom Line – They’re light, comfortable, stretchy, and good-looking. And, a decent value.
Callaway Men’s Everplay 5-Pocket Golf Pant
- Great looks & fit
- Lightweight - Comfortable
- Stretches w/ Movement
- Slimmer fit (beware)
Callaway Men’s Everplay 5-Pocket pants are next on our list of best golf pants for men.
What I like:
- Excellent fit & quality material.
- They’re lightweight, breathable, and comfortable.
- Minimal bunching in the seat and upper thighs. Stretch well with movement.
- Great option for the golf course or anywhere dress-casual pants are appropriate.
What I don’t like:
- Come out of the dryer a little wrinkled.
These are my first Callaway golf pants, and I chose the 5-pocket style because they were the easiest to get a hold of. I wasn’t in love with this style before I got them in, but I gotta admit, I like them now. And I’m going to buy more like it.
The waist size is true to the label, and they are a slimmer fit than I’m accustomed to or prefer. But, the material is light, comfortable, and made to move with you. Which makes for a good experience.
Bottom Line – Give these a look if you like a slimmer look and tighter feel. You won’t sacrifice any comfort.
Adidas Men’s Go-to 5-Pocket Tapered Fit Golf Pants
- Lightweight & Comfortable
- Stretches w/ Movement
- Look good & fit well
- Nada - they hit their mark
Adidas Men’s Go-to 5-Pocket Tapered Fit golf pants are next on our list of best golf pants for men.
What I like:
- They’re lightweight, breathable, and comfortable.
- Minimal bunching in the seat and upper thighs. Stretch well with movement.
- Good option for the golf course or anywhere dress-casual pants are appropriate.
What I don’t like:
- Nada
These are not pants I would normally go for…or go for. They’re true slim-fit pants in the vein of skinny jeans. I’m not a skinny jeans guy – at all.
That said, they’re surprisingly comfortable due to their stretchiness and lightweight material. I think they are as advertised.
They’re just not meant for short stocky dudes like me.
Bottom Line – Great choice if you want the skinny jeans look and fit in a pair of golf pants. And, at a reasonable price.
Final Verdict
We’ve got 5 great pairs of pants for you to try. From classic fitting khaki-like to modern slim fit options.
The Adidas Ultimate 365s are my current favorite of the bunch. They’ve got the best combo of great quality and super-reasonable price.

Your pant selections look great but how can be the best when they only even sizes. I’m a 31.
I feel your pain, Bob. A big headache when putting these clothing lists together – especially pants – is lack of inventory in specific sizes. We’ll try to do better.
