Best vehicle for golfing family

[spring5497]

Not sure if this is the correct location for this question.

I am looking to purchase a new vehicle and need a vehicle to carry at least 3 full size golf bags, my children's and mine, and I am looking for a luxury vehicle.  Just to clarify I don't want to spend more than $75,000 and I don't want a truck.  Any ideas or suggestions?

A motor home for family road trips. I recommend the biggest diesel pusher you can afford.

Volvo XC90. Amazing vehicle. We test-drove one, but ended up getting the XC60, since we actually preferred the smaller size.

You should also look into their overseas delivery program.  Two free tickets to Sweden, and a nice discount off sticker.

Infiniti QX80 is nice, I had the QX56, liked it a lot and it was more than big enough to hold 3 full size golf bags.  We went with QX60 because we didn't need a big truck and my wife wanted something smaller and easier to drive.

Check this video at about 2:45.  This vehicle can be bought for around 40k.

Huh. That seems intentionally misleading. There is no way a standard-length driver (or even a fairway wood) fits straight across that vehicle, is there? I guess you just take the driver out of your bag, which isn't a big deal, but still...

I fit 2 golf bags with standard length drivers in my Nissan GTR trunk, I'm pretty sure this truck is as wide as my trunk if not wider.

I don't have one, but if I was buying one I'd take my clubs to the dealership to make sure. It looks like it might work if you position the forward bags so the driver sits above the wheel well.  I'd want a smaller vehicle like this if it would work.

Huh - OK, I guess I was wrong.  It just looked like they were showing bags in a way that couldn't have clubs sticking out.  Nevermind, carry on!

I can fit 3 golf bags in the trunk of my Hyundai Genesis sedan. It's pretty luxurious as well.

My wife has a Hyundai Sonata, and it would easily carry 3 golf bags in the trunk.  I know this doesn't seem like a "luxury" vehicle, but its a whole lot more luxurious than my older Audi A4.

At up to $75K you just have all the top options at your disposal for taking. If you were limited to under $50K  - I would throw in a newer 5.7L Durango (I drive a 2013). I have driven to Myrtle Beach with 4 golf bags, luggage and 4 adults very comfortably, has all kinds of bells and whistles comparable to the upscale drives over $60K. The 5.7L Hemi is top notch. Not unique to this engine but the automatic eco drive helps out with gas mileage. 

I second the Volvo XC90 recommendation as well. I have heard good things about Mazda CX-9.

i read something recently in Golf Digest or Golf magazine where the writer was talking about the benefits of the trusty mini van. This one looks pretty good, if you can handle being a mini van guy:

My truck can fit 6 people and at least 6 bags. Plus you get a truck!

Toyota Highlander. Awesome vehicle. I have a 2015. Tons of cargo space and you can flip up a third row of seats to fit 8 comfortably.
