From Course to Clubhouse: Fall Style for Every Kind of Golfer

Fall is a great time for golf. The temperatures cool off, the courses take on a different look and the best stretch of golf weather is just getting started.

But not every golfer approaches the season the same way. While some golfers welcome a little chill in the air, pull on another layer and head straight for the first tee, others see the changing seasons as a good reason to pack a bag and head somewhere warm. One group embraces fall. The other finds another way to enjoy it.

Either way, there's plenty of good golf to be played, and a few wardrobe essentials that can make the most of it. We’ve got you covered no matter your approach to fall. Here’s some of our top pieces for the season.

For Those Who Don't Let the Temperature Get in the Way

There’s something to be said for a cool fall morning, when the course is quiet and you can get in a few holes before the rest of the world wakes up. The trick is knowing how to layer without feeling like you're wearing half your closet.

The Warren Quarter Zip offers a soft, textured knit with plenty of stretch and wearing it in white makes it the right match for any outfit. The Palmer Quarter Zip in New Indigo has a lightweight, peached feel in a bold hue that makes it an easy choice for changing temperatures.

When a little more warmth is needed, the Big Horn Quilted Vest in Moonlight provides another layer without getting in the way of your swing. The Hopkins Crew in Heather, with its distinctive bubble-knit texture, is another comfortable option for a cool day on the course or an afternoon in the clubhouse.

Round out the look with the Henderson 5 Pocket Pant in Bronze. Its stretch twill fabric and classic five-pocket styling make it a natural fit for fall golf, with enough versatility to wear well beyond the course.

For this group, the golf season doesn't end when the temperature drops. It just requires a little more planning when getting dressed.

For Those Who'd Rather Follow the Sunshine

For those who look who look at the fall as a pretty good excuse to get away and keep playing, here’s some pieces that are the perfect fit for your next trip.

These pieces feature lighter fabrics, easygoing patterns and pieces that work just as well after the round as they do during it.

The Treviso Bay Woven Shirt brings a relaxed, polished look to a golf getaway, while the Reef Runner Polo adds some personality with its hand-carved block print and lightweight, quick-drying performance fabric. Both are easy choices for a day that might include 18 holes, lunch on the patio and an afternoon exploring a resort.

Of course, even warm-weather destinations have cooler evenings. That's where the Crenshaw Sweater Hoodie in Dark Forest comes in. Made with extra-fine merino wool and featuring a reversible design, it's a versatile layer that offers two different looks in one.

Pair it with the Flex Short, built with four-way stretch for comfort and mobility, and finish things off with the Cruise Canvas Sneaker in Moonlight. It's an easy combination for moving from the course to the clubhouse and wherever the rest of the day takes you.

Two Ways to Enjoy Fall. Plenty of Reasons to Play.

Some golfers will spend the next few months adding layers and finding ways to get in another round before winter arrives. Others will be packing their bags and looking for warmer weather.

Neither approach sounds too bad. After all, fall is a great time to play golf, wherever you happen to find it.
