There’s nothing quite like a walking round of golf with a caddie; however, such experiences today can only be had at select courses. The next best thing—from an exertion standpoint—is to walk with a push/pull cart, but even then, the terrain of some courses can make using those carts a strenuous affair. Not so with Motocaddy’s latest electric trolley. Powered by a 230-watt motor, this aluminum golf cart is equipped with nine speed settings to move only as fast as you want to go. It features automatic downhill control to maintain a constant speed no matter the slope of the terrain, and it’s enhanced by an electronic parking brake. It can even be programmed to travel select distances on its own. But the trolley’s most impressive feature is its GPS capability. It comes preloaded with 40,000 courses and offers a compact touch screen, so users can toggle between numerous screens, always knowing how far they are from key areas of the course. The trolley can’t read greens, nor can it recommend specific shots to hit, but aside from those shortcomings it’s as close to having a real caddie as you can get. $1,400; motocaddy.us

For the type who takes a less-is-more approach, whose personal style aligns with a timeless aesthetic, there is Walker Trolley. The brand’s premier ‘Cape’ model doesn’t fold down into a tiny parcel of plastic, nor is it equipped with speakers or Bluetooth capability. Instead, the three-wheeled cart, made of anodized aluminum, leather, and waxed canvas, collapses just enough to fit easily in the trunk of a car. The company’s founder initially conceptualized the cart after rounds of golf played at revered Scottish courses; however, he also took inspiration from classic industrial designs from the 1920s and ’30s—Rolls-Royce Silver Ghosts and Ford’s Model-T—as well as retro-inspired bicycles. $430; walkertrolleys.com

Not every round of golf needs to be a serious one. In fact, many amateurs consider every round that they play to be a casual affair. Players who take that approach and enjoy walking the course will feel most comfortable in True Linkswear’s new True Knit II, a lightweight, breathable sneaker that provides a sock-like fit and feel thanks to a one-piece upper made mostly of polyester (with some spandex) that conforms to almost every foot shape. The Washington-based footwear company turned heads with the debut of its original True Knit shoe a few years back, and it’s improved on that platform with an open-cell footbed that breathes better on warmer days, a midsole that is enhanced with WANDERLUX super foam for better comfort and rebound, and an upper that is water-repellent. The shoe’s cross-life spikeless treaded sole provides enough turf grip for wearers to make confident swings on the course, but it also transitions seamlessly to everyday active life. Best of all, because a size 9 True Knit II weighs less than 10 ounces, you’ll quickly forget that you’re wearing anything at all. $140; truelinkswear.com

Marrying comfort with performance is a tricky thing, yet FootJoy has proven itself to be a master matchmaker in this regard with the debut of its Hyperflex golf shoe with WRAPID technology. The shoe’s midsole is enhanced with a proprietary foam blend that provides both comfort and support, while the outsole is equipped with new dual flex grooves that move as the foot moves (both during the swing as well as the walking stride). “This new outsole technology is designed to mimic the natural flexure of the foot,” says Chris Tobias, vice president of FJ Footwear. “So not only are you getting a great walking shoe, but a shoe that will maximize the ground force throughout every movement in the golf swing.”

Most notably, FootJoy’s premiere Hyperflex iterant is equipped with an asymmetrical fitting system (patented by BOA), which takes pressure off the top of the foot and literally wraps the shoe around the foot as it tightens. Best of all, the Hyperflex shoe boasts traditional soft spikes, which makes it the ideal choice for players who are attracted to comfort but don’t want to sacrifice performance. $200; footjoy.com

If ever there were a golf bag designed for millennials, the introductory model by MNML Golf is it. The bag is designed with two patent-pending features: a phone holder that doubles as a filming pocket, and a port and portal system that allows golfers to keep their devices charged at all times. The golf bag offers more storage space thanks to dedicated compartments for golf balls and a rangefinder, and it is also equipped with a large, insulated pocket to hold as many as six 12-ounce cans or five 16-ounce bottles. For those who enjoy their rounds of golf with a soundtrack, the MNML Golf bag can also be upgraded with a waterproof Bluetooth speaker that can deliver up to eight hours of uninterrupted playback. $250; minimalgolf.com

Golfers who yearn for a walking experience that feels rooted in the past—in a positive way—will want to shoulder the latest Players Series bag designed by the Jones Sports Company. Don’t expect rangefinder pockets, Bluetooth speakers, or USB ports. Instead, as the sports company proudly declares, the bag equips golfers “with everything you need in a golf bag and nothing you don’t.” That translates to three large, multi-purpose pockets that can tote all of the necessary tools and accessories for a fun and successful round on the course. Best of all, the bag weighs only 3 pounds, which means that even when it’s loaded with 14 clubs and half a dozen balls, it makes walking 18 holes—or even 36—a plausible and pleasurable affair. $170; jonessportsco.com
