Golf Towels
A golf towel has one job: get the clubface clean before the next shot. Most towels only half do it. They wipe moisture and loose grass but leave packed dirt and bunker sand in the grooves, which is exactly what kills spin on a wedge. Swing Clean makes one golf towel, the Duo Pro, and it fixes that by putting a steel and nylon groove brush on the towel itself.
The Duo Pro: golf towel and brush in one
The Duo Pro pairs a high-GSM waffle-weave microfiber towel with a twist-off hybrid bristle brush and a retractable quick-clip. Brush the grooves, wipe the face, let the clip pull it back to the bag. It comes in Pitch Black and Bentgrass Green for $39.99, and the towel is machine washable once you twist the brush head off.
What to look for in a golf towel
Material
Waffle-weave microfiber outperforms cotton and flat microfiber for club cleaning. The raised texture lifts grit out of grooves instead of smearing it, it holds far more water per ounce, and it dries fast between holes. Cotton feels familiar but gets heavy when wet and holds smell. See the full comparison in waffle vs microfiber vs cotton golf towels and our golf towel fabric guide.
Size
Standard tri-fold golf towels run about 16 x 21 inches. Oversized tour towels are around 36 x 17, and pocket towels 16 x 16. For most players the tri-fold size is right: enough surface for a full set of grooves without the bulk. Details and a dimensions table are in the golf towel size guide.
Attachment
Grommet, clip, center hole or magnet. A carabiner clip on a retractable cord is the one that survives real rounds: it fits any bag or cart, keeps the towel off the ground, and comes to the club instead of you going to the towel. Compare them in grommets vs clips vs holes and magnetic golf towel vs clip.
Color
Black and navy hide grass and mud stains for a whole season. White looks great for three holes. Here is why golfers use black towels.

Golf towel FAQs
How many golf towels do you need?
One good towel with a brush covers clubs and ball. Some players add a second small towel for hands and grips. More in one towel vs two.
Should a golf towel be wet or dry?
Both. Dampen one corner for scrubbing and keep the rest dry for the final wipe. That is the wet corner trick.
How do you wash a microfiber golf towel?
Warm water, mild detergent, no fabric softener, low or air dry. Full instructions in our microfiber towel care guide.
Where should you hang a golf towel on the bag?
Right-side towel ring near the top so it faces out and stays off the ground. See where to hang a golf towel.
