120+ Golf Team Names for Leagues, Scrambles and Outings

Signing up for a golf league, a charity scramble or the company outing almost always comes with one question on the registration form: team name. It feels like a small thing, but your team name ends up on the leaderboard, in the photos and, if you do it right, on your polos. This list has more than 120 golf team names grouped by style, from groan-worthy puns to classy club-house names, plus a few tips to help your group agree on one before the tee time.

What makes a great golf team name?

The best golf team names have a few things in common:

• They are short. One to three words fits on a scoreboard, a cart sign and the chest or back of a polo.
• They are easy to say. The announcer at the awards dinner should be able to read it without stumbling.
• They fit the event. A rowdy buddy scramble and a charity event hosted by a local school call for different tones.
• They have a hook. Golf terms, a local landmark, your company or a shared joke make a name memorable.

Keep it clean. Most leagues and charity events will reject crude names, and nobody wants a name they have to explain to their boss or their kids.

Name ideas based on where you play

Some of the best team names come from your home course or town rather than a list. Try these formulas and fill in your own details:

• [Course name] + Crew: simple, local and instantly recognizable to other league players.
• [Hole number] + a nickname: name your team after the hole that always gives you trouble, like "The 13th Hole Survivors."
• [Town] + Tee Party: works well for social leagues and outings with a mix of skill levels.
• [Street or neighborhood] + Swingers: perfect for neighborhood groups who play together every weekend.
• [Company department] + Fore: a natural fit for corporate outings, like "Finance Fore" or "IT Fore."

Local names have one big advantage: nobody else in the league will have the same one, and they make a great conversation starter when other groups ask about your polos.

Names to avoid

A few kinds of names tend to backfire once they are printed on a shirt and announced at the awards dinner:

• Crude double meanings that might get flagged by the event organizer or embarrass a sponsor
• Names that mock another team or player, even as a joke
• Very long phrases that get abbreviated on the leaderboard
• Names built around a single player who may not play next season

When in doubt, ask yourself whether you would be comfortable wearing it in a photo that ends up on the club's social media page.

How to choose a name as a group

Four golfers can argue about a team name longer than a five-hour round. A quick system keeps it painless:

1. Everyone suggests two names in the group chat by a deadline.
2. The captain shortlists three that fit the event's tone.
3. Vote once, no re-votes. Majority wins.
4. Say it out loud as if you were the announcer at the awards dinner. If it makes you cringe, pick the runner-up.

Put your team name on your polos

A name really comes to life when your foursome shows up wearing it. Matching polos make your team easy to spot on the course and look great in the group photo.

Pick a design that matches your name

A "Fairway to Heaven" team might go for a light, sky-blue design, while "Weapons of Grass Destruction" needs something bolder. Our golf team polos and funny golf shirts cover both ends of the spectrum, and every design can be personalized with your team name and player names.

Get sizes from everyone

Ask each player to check the size guide. A men's polo in L measures 44 inches at the chest with a 30-inch length; a women's polo in L has a 46-inch bust and a 27.5-inch length. If someone is between two sizes, choose the larger one.

Plan the timing

Polos are printed to order. Allow 2–3 business days of processing and 3–7 business days of shipping in the US (7–14 days internationally). Orders of $50 or more ship free, which a team order usually clears easily.
