I am in search of a good bag with a built in cooler big enough for a sandwich or 2. I hate paying the outrageous prices at the course for a burger or sandwich. I only walk the course and carry my bag on my back so comfort is a requirement also. All the bags I have found so far only have a beverage pouch big enough for a bottle of water ( which is what I currently have). Thank you for your input.

Here are a couple bags that might be good to check out. Can't find any details on "cooler" pockets but I know these are popular bags.

I second this. I bought the Nike Hybrid Performance stand bag this season and I love it. Pricey, but very light, very durable, very sturdy, plenty of room, no bag chatter when riding (full-length dividers) and a substantial cooler pocket. To be honest, all of the pockets seem to be very large and well-placed. Definitely worth it.

Yea I'm keeping an eye on this thread.  I also like to walk when I can, but buying beers gets real pricey when you can't carry them!  They'd get too warm in my bag... Cooler pocket would be sweet!!

In my Ogio Blade Stand Bag:
 

TaylorMade Burner 10.5*

Adams Insight BUL 15*
Taylormade RBZ 3H

TaylorMade RBZ 4-AW

Vokey SM4 54-11

Cleveland CG14 58 2 dot wedge

Ping Karsten Series Craz-E putter

I also have a TaylorMade Catalina bag and I do like the size of my cooler. One thing I didn't pay attention were the club dividers. They are not full bag length and that was something I now wish I paid closer attention to. My dad has a SunMountain KG-3 and he absolutely loves his bag.

Bumping this thread...

The new Ping Traverse (2016/2017) has a very nice cooler.  I'm eyeing it.  It could easily fit a 6 pack plus some food.  I have an older Traverse (2012) that I like, but the cooler is much smaller (It's OK, fits two small beverages and a snack bar or two).

Beer company logo bags... every bag I've seen with a beer logo on it, has a huge cooler.  My friend has a Coors Light bag he won at a tournament... huge cooler.  He can easily fit an 18 pack with ice (says he's packed it with more than that before).  We saw a Mich. Ultra bag this weekend, same set up as my friends.

Anyone else have any suggestions on more current bags with nice coolers?

I walk so a cooler is out.  I am super conscious of weight.  I recently bought some disposable tupperware to keep my cigars in because it much lighter than my travel humidor.

I would consider that for a sandwich or two.  you can put it in the side pocket it keeps things from being crushed and its light.

I walk as well, but a few extra lbs doesn't bother me one bit (the push cart carries the load).  And ... the bag gets lighter as the round goes on.

When I carry vs use the push cart (which isn't often), then I'm more conscious of the extra weight

    • I did not realize that, I was thinking a more traditional golf club.  
    • Thanks for the feedback. @StuM, we are a "club without real estate" so no facilities or pro. We have a membership of around 185 players and we only play together as a group at our tournaments, which are held at public access courses. A group of us setup the tournaments, collect the money and dole out the prizes.
    • In general, granting free relief anywhere on the course isn't recommended.  Similarly, when marking GUR, the VSGA and MAPGA generally don't mark areas that are well away from the intended playing lines, no matter how poor the conditions.  If you hit it far enough offline, you don't necessarily deserve free relief.  And you don't have to damage clubs, take unplayable relief, take the stroke, and drop the ball in a better spot.
    • If it's not broken don't fix it. If you want to add grooves to it just because of looks that's your choice of course. Grooves are cut into putter faces to reduce skid, the roll faced putter is designed to do the same thing. I'm no expert but it seems counter productive to add grooves to the roll face. Maybe you can have it sand-blasted or something to clean up the face. Take a look at Tigers putter, its beat to hell but he still uses it.     
    • I get trying to limit relief to the fairway, but how many roots do you typically find in the fairway? Our local rule allows for relief from roots & rocks anywhere on the course (that is in play). My home course has quite a few 100 year old oaks that separate the fairways. Lift and move the ball no closer to the hole. None of us want to damage clubs.
