At Golf 360, we know that having the right golf accessories can make a huge difference to your performance and enjoyment on the course. As one of New Zealand’s largest stockists of golf equipment, gear, and accessories, we’re here to help you get the most from your game—whether you’re a seasoned pro or a weekend golfer.

Here are 10 essential golf accessories every player should consider.

1. Golf Rangefinders

Sureshot Pinloc 6000iPSM Rangefinder

Accurate distance measurement is one of the most valuable tools a golfer can have on the course, which is why a golf rangefinder is considered an essential accessory for players of all levels. By providing precise yardages to the flag, hazards, or lay-up points, a rangefinder removes guesswork, allowing you to make smarter club selections and improve your shot accuracy. With better information at your fingertips, you can approach every shot with greater confidence and consistency.

At Golf 360, we stock a wide range of leading golf rangefinder brands, including Sureshot, Blue Tees, Bushnell, and Garmin. Each brand offers models designed to suit different skill levels and budgets, from entry-level devices to feature-packed premium options. Whether you’re playing a familiar local course or tackling new terrain, a high-quality rangefinder can help you make more informed decisions, lower your scores, and enhance your overall enjoyment of the game.

Whether you’re searching for your first golf rangefinder or looking for advanced features such as slope adjustment, target lock, or GPS integration, Golf 360’s collection offers sleek, portable designs and pinpoint accuracy to help you play your best.

2. Quality Golf Gloves

FootJoy Women's Left Hand Attitudes Glove

A high-quality golf glove is more than just a stylish accessory—it’s an essential part of every golfer’s kit, helping to enhance performance and comfort on the course. A well-fitted glove improves grip, allowing for a more controlled and consistent swing, especially in damp or humid conditions where clubs can easily slip. It also helps reduce tension in the hands and forearms, promoting a smoother, more natural swing and ultimately supporting better results.

Beyond improving grip, golf gloves play a crucial role in protecting your hands. By creating a barrier between your skin and the club, gloves help prevent blisters, calluses, and general discomfort, particularly during longer rounds or practice sessions. They also provide an extra layer of protection against the elements, keeping your hands warm, dry, and comfortable in all weather conditions—a key factor for maintaining focus and performance.

At Golf 360, we stock a premium selection of golf gloves from trusted names such as Titleist, FootJoy, Mizuno, Callaway, and Wilson. With a wide range of materials, sizes, and colours, finding the perfect glove to suit your game and personal style has never been easier. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, discover the difference a great golf glove can make with our carefully curated collection.

3. Personalised or Premium Golf Balls

Choosing the right golf ball is one of the most overlooked factors in improving your performance on the course. The ball you play with can significantly influence your distance, spin, feel, and control, making it essential to select one that complements both your playing style and skill level. At Golf 360, we stock a wide range of premium and personalised golf balls from leading brands including Titleist, Callaway, Bridgestone, Wilson, Volvik, and Mizuno—available at our Tauranga golf shop or online for delivery New Zealand-wide.

Whether you’re looking for more speed off the tee, optimal spin around the greens, or enhanced durability, our selection of golf balls is designed to help you get the most out of every shot. Many of today’s advanced balls feature cutting-edge technology such as reduced drag for longer carry, high-resistance covers for durability, and multi-layer construction for exceptional feedback and control. Matching the right ball to your game can help you fine-tune distance, accuracy, and shot-shaping, giving you the confidence to perform at your best.

For those wanting a personal touch, customised golf balls are also a popular choice, making it easy to identify your ball and adding a unique edge to your game. Whether you're a beginner focusing on consistency or a low-handicap player seeking maximum precision, Golf 360 offers the perfect ball to suit your needs.

4. Golf Tees

Tour Tees

Golf tees may seem like a small part of your golfing equipment, but they play a crucial role in setting up every drive and ensuring consistency from the tee box. The right tee height and material can influence the trajectory, distance, and accuracy of your shot. A well-chosen golf tee helps you achieve the optimal launch angle for your driver or fairway wood, giving you greater confidence and control off the tee.

At Golf 360, we understand the difference that quality golf tees can make to your game. As New Zealand stockists of trusted brands like Masters, Pride, and Rite Hite, we offer a wide selection of golf tees designed to suit every player’s preference and playing style. Whether you’re looking for durability, height adjustability, or eco-friendly options, the right tee can help you fine-tune your performance and maximise your distance.

Choose from a variety of wood, plastic, rubber, and metal tees, each crafted to support your game and enhance every shot. From classic wooden tees preferred for their simplicity and feel, to innovative height-adjustable tees that cater to modern drivers, Golf 360 has you covered. With the right tee in hand, you’ll be better equipped to make each drive count and get your round off to the perfect start.

5. Ball Markers

Masters Neon Ball Markers

While it may seem like a small detail, a ball marker is an essential accessory that plays a key role in the etiquette and smooth flow of the game. When your ball is on the green and in the line of another player’s putt, marking its position allows play to continue without interference or distraction. It’s a simple but necessary part of golf that reflects both respect for your fellow players and adherence to the rules of the game.

At Golf 360, we offer a wide selection of golf ball markers to suit every golfer’s style and preference. From magnetic markers that clip easily onto your glove or hat, to personalised markers that add a unique touch, or classic coin-style markers for traditionalists, we have something for everyone. A personalised ball marker not only makes your gear feel more special but also ensures your marker stands out on the green, reducing the risk of mix-ups during play.

Carrying the right ball marker is about more than just practicality—it’s also an opportunity to express your personality on the course. Whether you prefer sleek minimalism, bold designs, or something fun and quirky, Golf 360 has a range of options available to you.

6. Golf Towels

Mizuno Microfibre Cart Towel

A golf towel is one of the most underrated but essential accessories every golfer should carry. Keeping your clubs clean and dry throughout every round is crucial for maintaining consistent performance, especially when dealing with wet grass, sand, or muddy conditions. Even small amounts of dirt or moisture on your clubface can affect spin, distance, and control, so having a towel on hand ensures your equipment stays in top condition, allowing you to focus on your game without distractions.

At Golf 360, we stock a wide selection of golf towels in a range of materials, sizes, and colours to suit every golfer’s needs and preferences. From microfibre and waffle-textured towels to classic cotton options, each one is designed for maximum durability and absorbency. These towels are perfect for wiping down clubs, drying golf balls, and even keeping your hands and grips dry—an important factor in maintaining control in humid or wet weather.

A quality golf towel not only protects your equipment but also reflects good etiquette and care for the game. Whether clipped to your bag or carried in your pocket, having the right towel is a simple way to stay prepared for whatever the course throws at you.

7. Golf Umbrellas

Ping Double Canopy Tour Umbrella

In a country like New Zealand, where weather conditions can shift without warning, having a reliable golf umbrella is an essential part of your kit. Sudden rain or gusty winds can disrupt your round, affecting both your focus and comfort. A high-quality golf umbrella allows you to stay dry and protected, helping you maintain concentration on your game no matter what the skies decide to do. It’s not just about keeping yourself dry—it’s also about shielding your clubs and equipment, preventing damage and ensuring your gear performs at its best.

At Golf 360, we stock a wide selection of golf umbrellas from top brands including Titleist, Wilson, Ping, Callaway, Mizuno, and Sun Mountain. Our range features various colours, sizes, and designs to suit both your personal style and practical needs. Many of the umbrellas we offer come with vented canopies, designed to enhance wind resistance and reduce the risk of your umbrella turning inside out on blustery days—ideal for the sometimes unpredictable conditions on New Zealand’s golf courses.

Investing in a proper golf umbrella is about more than weather protection—it's about ensuring that you can play your best regardless of the elements. With options for compact carry, durable frames, and superior coverage, Golf 360 makes it easy to find the perfect umbrella both online and in our Tauranga golf shop.

8. Golf Club Cleaning Brushes

Keeping your golf clubs clean is crucial to consistent performance, and a golf club cleaning brush is one of the simplest yet most effective tools to help you do just that. With soft under-foot conditions common on New Zealand courses—especially during the winter months—dirt, mud, and grass can quickly build up in the grooves of your clubs. This debris can affect spin, contact, and ball flight, making it harder to control your shots and maintain accuracy throughout your round.

A quick scrub with a dedicated golf club cleaning brush can make a noticeable difference in how your clubs perform. Clean grooves promote better contact and cleaner strikes, especially with wedges and irons where spin and precision are vital. Rather than wiping your clubs on a towel or your glove, a purpose-designed brush is far more effective at removing compacted debris without damaging the clubface. It’s a small addition to your golf bag that delivers significant benefits on the course.

At Golf 360, we stock a quality selection of golf club cleaning brushes from trusted brands such as Groove-It, Pride Sports, and Masters. Whether you prefer a compact, clip-on brush or a more robust design with a built-in water spray, we’ve got options to suit every golfer.

9. Golf Training Aids

Perfect Practice Putting Mat

Improving your golf game takes more than time on the course—it requires focused practice, repetition, and the right tools to help you fine-tune your technique. That’s where golf training aids come in. Designed to target specific areas of your game, training aids can help you develop better swing mechanics, enhance your putting stroke, increase swing speed, and build muscle memory. Whether you’re new to the game or looking to break through to the next level, the right training aids can make a measurable difference in your performance.

At Golf 360, we offer a comprehensive range of golf training aids to help players of all abilities sharpen their skills. Our collection covers every aspect of the game—from impact bags that improve ball striking to putting mats that help you master distance control and alignment. For those looking to increase power, swing trainers provide the perfect way to build speed and improve timing, all from the comfort of your home or garden. With tools suitable for both indoor and outdoor practice, you can work on your game year-round, regardless of weather or course availability.

Investing in quality training aids allows you to practice with purpose rather than simply hitting balls aimlessly. By incorporating targeted drills and consistent feedback, these tools can help you build confidence, correct bad habits, and develop the muscle memory needed for lasting improvement.

10. MGI Motorised Golf Trundlers

Carrying or manually pushing your golf bag across 18 holes can take a toll on your body, often leading to fatigue that affects both your focus and your swing. Investing in a motorised golf trundler from MGI, one of the leading names in electric golf carts, allows you to conserve energy for what really matters—your game. Designed to take the strain out of walking the course, an MGI trundler helps you stay fresh, sharp, and ready to perform from the first tee to the final putt.

MGI trundlers are built to offer exceptional value and convenience, with features that make navigating the course effortless. With powerful motors, long-lasting batteries, and sturdy frames, these electric golf carts glide smoothly over all types of terrain, including hills, wet grass, and uneven ground. Many models come equipped with advanced technology such as distance control settings, GPS holder attachments, and easy folding systems, making them both functional and simple to use. By letting the trundler handle the heavy lifting, you can reduce strain on your back and shoulders, allowing for greater consistency in your swing.

Owning an MGI motorised trundler is not just about physical comfort—it's also about mental clarity and enjoyment. Without the distraction of lugging a heavy bag or pushing uphill, you can fully focus on your shots, course strategy, and overall experience.
