Golf umbrellas: generous protection for two
What makes a golf umbrella
Golf umbrellas are the classic large umbrellas. With a diameter of around 120 to 133 cm, they offer room for two people and also keep bags, luggage or equipment dry. Their name comes from the golf course, where players want themselves and their golf bag to stay dry. They are just as popular in hotels and restaurants, where guests are accompanied from the entrance to their car without getting wet.
On the golf course
On the golf course, the weather is often unpredictable, and there is rarely any shelter between two holes. A golf umbrella therefore has to be large, robust and wind-resistant. One example is the AC golf umbrella Fibermatic XL Vent: with a diameter of 133 cm, it protects player and equipment, and its double-layer ventilation system lets gusts of wind escape through the canopy. Its straight handle fits securely into the umbrella holder on a golf trolley, and the practical carrying case makes it the ideal companion for a round.
At the hotel, at the entrance and in the car park
Anyone who welcomes guests wants them to arrive dry. Golf umbrellas are therefore used in hotels, restaurants and at events, on the way from the taxi to the entrance or from the event to the car park. A special highlight for reception areas is the 3XL fibreglass golf umbrella FARE® Doorman. With a diameter of 180 cm, it protects several people at once and is exactly the umbrella a hotel doorman uses to escort guests from the car to the door.
Special models
- Lighter than any other: Thanks to its carbon shaft, the golf umbrella FARE® Carbon UltraLight weighs only 220 g with a diameter of 130 cm.
- With UV protection: On the AC golf umbrella FARE® Doubleface XL Vent, a black-coated inside provides additional UV protection, ideal for sunny days on the course.
- In a square shape: The AC golf umbrella Jumbo® XL Square Color stands out with its shape alone. Cover and shaft come in the same colour.
Golf umbrellas as advertising material
No other umbrella offers so much space for your brand. The large panels make your logo visible from a distance, whether on the golf course, in front of the hotel entrance or in the crowd on the way to the stadium. And anyone who walks a guest to the car under their own umbrella leaves a lasting impression.
Golf umbrellas are therefore particularly suitable for golf tournaments, for equipping hotels and event venues, and as gifts for customers and business partners. For campaigns with larger quantities, the fibreglass golf umbrella is an attractive entry-level model in eight colours.
What you can rely on at FARE®
- Robust despite a large diameter: The larger the canopy, the more wind it catches. That is why many of our golf umbrellas have flexible fibreglass ribs and a particularly robust frame, and some also have a ventilation system.
- Operation to suit you: Many models open automatically at the push of a button, which is handy when getting out of the car while your other hand is still holding the door. Others are opened by hand in the classic way.
- To be honest: A golf umbrella is large and not made for a handbag. If you are looking for plenty of protection and a small pack size, you will also find large pocket umbrellas under Large umbrellas. For everyday use in the city, our midsize umbrellas are a good compromise.
Your logo on a golf umbrella
With a large umbrella, you have the choice: one large logo on a single panel, your logo on several panels alternating with a slogan or website, or, depending on the model, also on the handle. The Jumbo® XL Square Color, for example, offers two advertising areas on the handle. You can find out which methods are available under Printing umbrellas. If you want to design the entire surface, Allover Xpress is the right solution from 100 pieces.
Frequently asked questions about golf umbrellas
How much more protection does a golf umbrella offer than a regular umbrella?
A classic regular umbrella measures around 100 to 105 cm when open, a golf umbrella 120 to 133 cm. Because the area grows with the square of the diameter, it covers roughly a third to three quarters more area, enough for two people.
How do I walk a guest to the car and keep them dry?
Hold the umbrella over your guest, not in the middle between the two of you, and walk slightly to the side yourself. At the car, open the door first and hold the umbrella over the gap until your guest has got in.
How long is a golf umbrella when closed?
Depending on the model, our golf umbrellas are around 92 to 104 cm long when closed. In a car, they usually fit across the boot or behind the front seats. The exception is the 3XL umbrella FARE® Doorman: with a diameter of 180 cm, it is considerably longer even when closed, at 128 cm.
Does an umbrella attract lightning?
No, an umbrella does not attract lightning. However, you are always at risk outdoors during a thunderstorm, with or without an umbrella. So seek shelter in a building or vehicle in good time.
