Golfers should have a few mental check boxes that need ticked when looking to buy a pair of golf pants. They have to be a few things - stretchy, lightweight, comfortable and have sufficient pocket room for all the items and accessories that you may carry during rounds like tees, ballmarkers, scorecards and more.
Of course, the golf pants have to look the part too - step forward the Under Armour Drive Tapered Pant, arguably the best pair of golf trousers we have tested in 2025 and certainly the best in terms of value for money.
Beginning with the looks, we tested the Halo Grey color and instantly loved what met the eye. The color is a gorgeous one, hitting that perfect balance between light colored, eye-catching pant without being too attention seeking.
These are trousers built specifically for golfers and after only a few holes on the golf course it’s easy to see why. The Drive pants are both light and stretchy, making them perfect for spring and summer golf. They are also water repellent which protects you against those unexpected showers that roll in half way through your round.
4-way stretch of the durable & super-comfortable stretch-woven twill fabric allows for full movement throughout the golf swing, meaning you’ll never feel restricted.
The internal rubber writing on the inside of the stretch waistband is an excellent touch, keeping your polo shirt in place and tucked in throughout the swing. Sufficient room is provided in the four pockets but we may have appreciated a little more or perhaps a mini pocket inside one of the front two pockets to store my pitch mark repairer or ball marker - however, I’m a player who typically has a lot in his pockets during rounds!
We tested these trousers alongside the Under Armour Forge 96 shoes, a really good value pair of golf sneakers, and loved the color coordination on offer - look good, feel good, play good as they say.
At just $85 per pair, there is a better pair of golf trousers on the market for the same price. The Drive pants are also available in a non-tapered version for those who prefer a more roomy fit.
