Golf Bag Storage: Rack or Locker?
There are two ways to store a golf bag at home. An open rack holds the bag off the floor. An enclosed locker puts the bag, your spare clubs, shoes and gear behind a door. This page sets out the difference so you can pick the right one.

When a rack is the right choice
If you want the lowest cost and you are happy with your gear on show in the garage, a rack does the job.
When a locker is the right choice
- Your clubs are worth protecting and you want them behind a door.
- The storage will sit somewhere people see it: a golf room, office or simulator room.
- You want one tidy place for the bag, shoes, balls, gloves and rangefinder.
The Links Locker stands 67.9 in (1725 mm) high, is free-standing, and assembles in 20 to 30 minutes with the tools included. It is US$499 in the United States and A$699 in Australia, with free shipping.
