I bought this case with the advise from a friend, I couldn’t have made a better decision. This case not only protected my clubs but made the hassle at the airport minimal. I love that there is an unconditional lifetime warranty on this product, plus it’s made in America! Thanks SKB for making a great trip with no hiccups…. i will be looking to buy a few rifle cases for next years hunt in Alaska.

I purchased this case for my daughter’s fencing gear as she was traveling on planes nationally and internationally this summer. I lined the remainder of the interior with similar foam to help pad her fencing gear – about another $10 in materials. It’s maiden voyage in June was on Delta and was without a hitch – no extra baggage charge as it is a solid golf case (even if we don’t use it as such. Fedexing it Greece caused a large frakus with customs as they do not allow “weapons” into the country, but suffice it to say everything showed up untouched and intact. A great case! We will recommend to all our fencing buddies!

After having owned two soft-shell cases in the past, I found out two things:
1. The zippers and seams simply can’t hold up to the Airline Neanderthals and thier cousins in the TSA
2 – Some airlines (Southwest, for example) insist on making me sign a damage waiver if checking soft-shells
I use a “backpacker carry bag” so my clubs fit snugly within the confines of this case. I can get my sticks, accessories, shoes, rain gear, etc. into this unit and close it without having to have my kids stand on it to get it closed. It’s compact, easy to roll around, and is *almost* indestructable.
I say *almost* because after one trip across the States, someone (baggage handlers or TSA?) had ripped off one of the handles. After getting it home and making a call to SKB, they told me the handles were under warranty and sent me a replacement set. two days later, and some effort with a screwdriver and small wrench (actually a green-repair tool) I had the new handle on and was back at it! Great customer service from the manufacturer!

fits my full-length men’s clubs including driver perfectly, with enough room around my carry bag for a rain pullover, umbrella, golf shoes, and baseball cap. TSA lock. latches, hinge, and frame seem very sturdy thus far. definitely recommend to anyone who wants a hard travel/luggage case for a carry bag.

I purchased this golf travel case to transport my photo studio lightstands (48″) and tripods. It works very well in this application and the cost was substantially lower than hard or soft cases in this size that are sold specifically for this purpose. Quality of materials and workmanship is excellent! Highly recommended!

Was amazed at how fast I received the SKB golf case. The quality and ruggedness of this traveling golf case is far better than anything I have seen anywhere. It is solid, extremely well made and the best part is it’s MADE IN THE USA. Lifetime guarantee. Extremely satisfied with my purchase. I only paid $129.99, you can’t beat that.

I purchased this case for my son’s fencing gear after seeing several fencers using golf travel bags. I couldn’t be happier. It is perfect for protecting gear when traveling. With a soft-sided bag there is always a risk that equipment will be damaged by less-than-careful baggage handlers at the airport. No worries here. It locks too, which adds an extra level of comfort when you have to leave the bag unattended at a tournament.

When this arrived I was very impressed. From the moment I took it out of the box I could tell it was a well constructed quality product. It also looks great. I closely inspected the wheels, locks, handles, hinges, etc. – and while I wouldn’t want to try this – I think I could take a hammer to any part of this thing and not break it. You can also tell they put some thought in to the engineering and design. For example, the in-line wheels are recessed into the case with protective covers on the side, and the latches are protected so they won’t make contact if (i.e., when) the case is dropped on its side.
Right after I placed my order, I went back and read the description and looked at the photo. I realized there was no mention of a TSA lock, and the photo shows standard metal latches with no apparent place for a user supplied lock. However, I called the company the next day and they said the photo is from an older version and all their golf cases now come with TSA locks. The photo for the Deluxe Case (2SKB-4814W) shows the correct lock and latches. There are three latches, with the center one locking.
Without question, this is a big case, but not really any larger that it has to be to fit a standard set of clubs and drivers. It stands just slightly over 50″ and the depth and width are 12-1/4″ x 13.” So it’s fairly efficient considering you can pack a 12″ standard bag and clubs. As others have noted, you could have trouble fitting it in a trunk or transporting it, but that’s probably true with most hard-shell (non collapsing) cases. I considered a hybrid bag/hard-top case, which would be a good option for somebody concerned about size, but for maximum protection I would definitely recommend this case. It’s really not much harder to wheel around than a hybrid (or soft case, which I would not recommend for airline travel), and shouldn’t cost any extra to check than standard baggage for most airlines. Many airlines have specific allowances for sports and other equipment; it may exceed the the maximum dimensions as long as it meets the weight requirement. They also won’t make you sign a liability waiver. Compared to hybrid and soft cases, this case is a little heavy at about 18 lbs empty, but even fully loaded should easily weigh-in under the 50 lbs max set by most airlines. Another disadvantage of a hard case for some may be storage, but I just use it to store my clubs and it doesn’t take up any additional space the the garage.

My husband has purchased some expensive golf clubs, and did not feel confortable with our canvas travel bag’s. It is great, he not only put
his clubs in, but his shoes,socks,extra golf balls,wind breaker,hats,

roomy, it has wheels, and a perfect storage case during the winter months.SKB 2SKB-4812WS ATA Standard Golf Travel Case

Small enough to fit in car trunk. Big enough to hold 48-50″ driver. Easy latching system. TSA key lock. Handle construction improved – nut/bolt fastening to prevent damage from excessive wear/tear.
Own a Datrek as well, this is better.
