Golf Sunglasses UK - Complete Buying Guide

The Ultimate Guide to Golf Sunglasses

Choosing the right golf sunglasses can dramatically improve your performance on the course. At Golf Store UK, we offer a comprehensive range of golf-specific sunglasses designed to enhance visibility, protect your eyes, and improve your game.

Why Golf Sunglasses Matter

Golf sunglasses aren't just about looking good on the course. They provide essential UV protection, reduce glare from water hazards and sand bunkers, and help you track the ball flight more accurately. Quality golf sunglasses can be the difference between reading greens correctly and missing crucial putts.

Key Features to Look For

Polarized Lenses

Polarized lenses are essential for golf. They eliminate glare from reflective surfaces like water, wet grass, and sand, allowing you to see the course more clearly. This is particularly important when reading greens or judging distances.

UV Protection

Look for sunglasses offering 100% UVA and UVB protection. Extended exposure to UV rays can damage your eyes, and golfers spend hours in direct sunlight. Quality golf sunglasses protect your long-term eye health.

Lens Colour Options

Different lens colours suit different conditions. Brown and amber lenses enhance contrast and depth perception, ideal for reading greens. Grey lenses provide true colour perception in bright conditions. Rose or copper tints work well in variable light conditions common in UK golf.

Fit and Comfort

Golf sunglasses should fit securely without slipping during your swing. Look for lightweight frames with rubber nose pads and temple grips. The sunglasses should stay in place throughout your round without causing discomfort.

Best Golf Sunglasses for UK Weather

UK golfers face unique challenges with variable weather conditions. We recommend sunglasses with interchangeable lenses or photochromic lenses that adapt to changing light. This versatility ensures optimal vision whether you're playing in bright sunshine or overcast conditions.

Top Brands Available

We stock leading golf sunglasses brands such as WMP, Messy Weekend, Ski Goggles, TrueVivid all known for quality, durability, and performance. Our range includes options for every budget, from entry-level protection to premium performance eyewear used by tour professionals. 

Caring for Your Golf Sunglasses

Proper care extends the life of your golf sunglasses. Always store them in a protective case, clean lenses with a microfibre cloth, and avoid leaving them in hot cars or direct sunlight when not in use. Regular cleaning maintains clarity and prevents scratches.

Prescription Golf Sunglasses

Many golfers require prescription eyewear. Modern golf sunglasses are available with prescription lenses, ensuring you don't have to choose between clear vision and sun protection. We can advise on the best prescription options for your needs.
