From the Blacktop to the Back Nine: 9 Hoop Shorts We Love For the Muni

Golf has long been a game of dress codes—collared shirts, tucked-in polos, belts that match the shoes. But let’s be honest: sometimes, you just want to be comfortable. And if you’re anything like me, that means reaching for a pair of hoop shorts before heading out for a quick nine at the local muni.

Maybe it’s March Madness in the air, maybe it’s Jason Day out here rocking full sweatsuits during PGA TOUR rounds, but I think we’re overdue for a little casual chaos on the course. Sure, golf fashion has its place, and we love a well-put-together fit. But there’s also something about stepping onto the first tee in a pair of mesh basketball shorts that just feels right—especially when you’re squeezing in a round between work and dinner or rolling up with your friends for an afternoon of pure vibes.

This list isn’t about what’s technically “golf-appropriate.” It’s about what works. These are the shorts you already have in your drawer—the ones you’ve played pickup in, lounged around in, and maybe even hooped in that one time you said, “just one more game.” They’re breezy, easy to move in, and perfect for when the dress code is more of a suggestion than a rule.
