Find the Perfect Custom Golf Trophy

Golf is a game of small margins and big moments. A putt that drops. A drive that flies dead straight down the fairway. A Captain's Day that comes down to the last hole. Moments like these deserve more than a handshake and a round of applause.

That's where the right trophy comes in. It's the difference between an event people forget by Monday and one they still talk about next year. This guide walks you through everything you need to know about Golf Trophies & Awards, from materials and sizing to engraving and ordering, so you can choose with total confidence, whatever the event.

Why a proper trophy matters

A golf trophy is not just a prize. It's a keepsake. Long after the scorecards are binned and the round is a story told at the bar, the trophy is still there. It sits on a mantelpiece, a desk, or in a clubhouse cabinet for years, quietly reminding the winner of a great day on the course.

That's exactly why every trophy in our collection is made to order. Nothing sits on a shelf pre-made and generic. Each one is personalised with your club's details and built to last well beyond the eighteenth hole.

Golf trophy ideas for every event

Not every golf event calls for the same trophy, and that's a good thing. A Club Championship winner and a longest-drive runner-up shouldn't be handed the same style of award. Here are some golf trophy ideas matched to the occasion.

• Club Championships: a standout piece for your club's biggest title of the year. This is the trophy people remember winning.
• Captain's Day: a lasting reminder of a tradition many clubs have kept alive for decades.
• Charity golf days: an affordable trophy that still feels genuinely special to receive.
• Corporate golf days: a polished award that reflects well on your business and the client relationships behind the day.
• Society outings: something fun for longest drive, nearest the pin, or the good-natured wooden spoon.

Choosing your material: glass, resin or acrylic

Our Golf Trophies collection covers three main styles, so there's an option for every budget and occasion. Here's how to tell them apart.

Glass golf trophies

Glass golf trophies bring a premium, polished finish that feels formal the moment you pick it up. It catches the light beautifully on a clubhouse shelf, which is exactly why it suits Club Championships, long-service awards, and any occasion where you want the golf trophy itself to feel like part of the occasion, not just a footnote to it.

Resin golf trophies

Resin trophies, like our 27cm gold design, give you the classic trophy silhouette people picture when they hear the word "trophy". Substantial without being showy, traditional without feeling dated. It's a strong middle-ground choice for a club that wants something with real presence, without a crystal-level price tag.

Acrylic golf trophies

Acrylic is light, modern and the most affordable of the three. It's ideal for society days, charity events, or any occasion where you need several awards across different categories without a big spend. Don't mistake affordable for plain, though. Full colour UV printing means acrylic trophies can look just as sharp as anything pricier.

Engravable golf trophies, done properly

Every trophy in this collection is engravable with your club logo, event name, winner's name and date. We use full colour UV printing rather than plain etching, so logos and text stay crisp, vibrant and properly legible, not faded into the material.

When it comes to wording, less is more. Name, event, date. That's usually all a golf trophy needs to say everything it should. Save longer messages and inside jokes for the presentation speech, not the plaque.

A few wording formats that work well:

• Club Championship 2026 — Winner — [Name]
• [Club Name] Captain's Day — [Name] — [Date]
• Longest Drive — [Event Name] — [Name]

Choosing the right size

Size matters more than people expect. A trophy that's too small for a Club Championship can look like an afterthought, while an oversized award for a friendly society day can feel a bit much.

As a rough guide: individual category awards (longest drive, nearest the pin) suit smaller, 15 to 20cm trophies. Overall winners and Captain's Day trophies tend to look right at 20 to 25cm. For a headline Club Championship trophy meant to be displayed and defended year after year, 25cm and above gives it the presence it deserves. For more information, click here.

Setting a realistic budget

Ordering across a full set of categories rather than just one winner's trophy. Is where planning ahead really pays off, since there's no minimum order to worry about and no bulk penalty either.

Ordering for your club or society

There's no minimum order here. Whether you need a single trophy for your Captain's Day winner or a full set covering every category in your society's calendar, the process is exactly the same, and every order gets the same level of care.

Every trophy is made to order, so please allow 1 to 3 business days for personalisation before dispatch. Standard UK delivery then takes 3 to 5 business days, or you can choose express delivery if your event date is close. Ordering with your event a few weeks out, rather than a few days, gives you the most breathing room and the widest choice.

Looking after your golf trophy

A little care keeps a trophy looking sharp for years. Glass and crystal pieces are best dusted with a soft, dry cloth rather than sprays that can dull the surface over time. Resin and acrylic trophies wipe clean easily with a lightly damp cloth. Keep any trophy out of direct, constant sunlight where possible, since UV exposure can fade colour finishes gradually over several years.
