Shipping golf clubs made easy with LugLess.
Like a birdie for your wallet.
Traveling with golf clubs can be a hassle. Heavy golf bags, airline sports equipment fees, and oversized check-in lines make flying with your clubs more stressful than it should be. LugLess makes shipping golf clubs simple so you can skip the airport hassle and meet your clubs at the course.
Why ship golf clubs instead of flying with them?
Bye-bye baggage claim, hello fairway.
Golf bags are bulky, heavy, and often packed with shoes, balls, rain gear, and accessories. That added weight can quickly trigger airline overweight and sports equipment fees, not to mention the inconvenience of hauling your clubs through airports and rental cars.
Shipping your golf clubs instead allows you to:
- Avoid airline sports equipment and overweight baggage fees
- Skip dragging a heavy golf bag through airports and shuttle buses
- Reduce the risk of damage to club heads and shafts during air travel
- Ship directly to your hotel, resort, vacation rental, or golf course
- Travel lighter and move faster on travel day
