When you’re out on the green, a trusty pair of sunglasses will protect your eyes from the sun and allow you to see the course with resoundingly clear vision. As you’re concentrating on your next swing, you want a shade that enhances your view but is relatively low maintenance. And, of course, it helps if it adds a handsome polish to your tee-time getup. So, how do you choose the right pair of sunglasses for your time on the links? In this handy guide, we’ll share tips on how to find the best sunglasses for golf, plus our top recommendations from Dragon’s collection.
Features to Look for in a Pair of Golf Sunglasses
Along with a performance polo and flat cap, toss on a solid pair of sunglasses when you’re dressing up for golf. Before you jump into our favorite picks from Dragon Alliance, here’s a helpful primer on what to look for when you shop for golfing sunglasses.
- Lens color: The best lens colors for the course include rose, brown, amber, copper, and purple, which help improve contrast while you stare out at the green turf and search for your ball.
- Lightweight: To concentrate on their swings, golfers will appreciate a set-it-and-forget-it frame that feels featherweight on the face.
- Good coverage: Large lenses and wrap styles are often preferred because they prevent breaks in vision, offering you an unobstructed view of the golfing terrain.
- Secure fit: When you’re swinging the club, you want to be sure that your sunglasses don’t move around. For a stable fit, look for rubber details and secure hinges.
- Hat compatibility: If you wear a hat on the course, consider picking up frames with straight temples for a comfortable fit.
Best Golfing Sunglasses
Dragon Alliance performance eyewear is designed to be sturdy, comfortable, and stylish on and off the course. Whichever Dragon Alliance frame you choose, rest assured that all of our sunglasses, including our picks for both men and women, feature 100% UV protection for sun safety and Lumalens technology for enhanced clarity. If you’re specifically looking for golfing sunglasses to maneuver winning moves on the course, here are our top recommendations.
Superior Contrast: Opus
When playing golf, you want to navigate the lay of the land, which can be challenging since the land is mostly uniform green grass. Along with featuring our cutting-edge Lumalens technology, Opus comes with brown and copper lens options, which are especially helpful for locating your ball on the green. Plus, the frame design is great for golfing since it features a lightweight and durable injection material. We also like the sturdy cam hinges for an extra secure fit.
Hat-Compatible: Renew
When you’re wearing a hat, sunglasses with straight temples are ideal. Renew boasts a sleek, classic square frame shape and easy-to-wear straight temples. For your golfing sessions, pick up the rose lens style to read the greens on the field more easily — this colorway also features ionization for added glare reduction.
Good Grip: Blaise
The rubberized nose pads and temple tips on Blaise offer a comfortable and secure fit when you’re taking swings. If you want to put in your prescription, the 6-base lens is also easily Rx-able. For golfing, we recommend the brown lens style.
Maximum Coverage: The Box 2
Offering extensive coverage, the large shield shape on The Box 2 is ideal for an unobstructed view of your golf range. Plus, the purple lenses help with contrast on the green. While polarization isn’t strictly necessary for golfing shades, The Box 2 Polarized may be helpful for reducing glare if you play by water.
When it comes to golf eyewear, don’t just settle for what’s par for the course. Combining sleek, comfortable designs with high-performance lens technology, Dragon Alliance’s shades will help you conquer the green in style.
