Best Beers for Golf – And Why You Should Be Drinking Five Iron Instead

Golf and a cold drink go hand in hand. Whether you’re teeing off at sunrise or heading into the back nine after a long day, there’s nothing quite like cracking open a refreshing beverage as part of the game-day ritual. For years, traditional light beers have dominated the cooler on the golf course, but just like your gear and your swing, it’s time your drink of choice caught up to the times.

At Five Iron Hard Seltzers, we’ve created a new kind of golf companion: one that’s crushable, flavorful, and guilt-free. Our beer-inspired hard seltzers are quickly becoming the go-to option for players who want the same crisp refreshment of a light beer, without the heaviness, sugar, or bloat. If you’re looking for the best beer for golf, it might not be a beer at all.

What Makes a Great Drink for Golf?

When you’re out on the course, your drink needs to go the distance. It has to be refreshing enough for hot days, light enough to sip across 18 holes, and easy to pack. Here’s what matters most when choosing the best drinks for golf:

Portability and Packaging

Glass bottles are a no-go on most courses, which is why cans are king. Five Iron Hard Seltzers come in sleek, durable cans that chill fast, stack in your cooler, and stay ice-cold through every swing.

Light, Crisp Refreshment

Golf is a game of stamina and focus. Heavy beers can weigh you down, especially in warm weather. Our hard seltzers are designed to be clean, crisp, and hydrating, keeping you feeling light and sharp from the first hole to the final putt.

Sessionable ABV

High-alcohol beers might sound fun, until you realize it’s only hole seven, and you’ve lost count of strokes and drinks. Our seltzers are perfectly balanced, offering just enough kick to loosen up your swing without throwing your round off track.

Low Calorie, Low Sugar

Let’s be honest: nobody wants to feel bloated or sluggish halfway through a round. Our products are zero sugar, low-calorie, and made for those who care about how they feel after the final hole.

A Look at the Traditional Beer Lineup

We get it. Golfers have long turned to light beers like Coors Light, Miller Lite, Bud Light, or Michelob Ultra. They’re familiar, easy to drink, and usually found at the clubhouse bar. But are they the best option anymore?

Traditional beers often come with the following:

Residual sugar and carbs that weigh you down
Bloating and a full feeling
Muted flavors that get old fast

While these beers have served their purpose, today’s golfer is looking for something cleaner, lighter, and more interesting. That’s where Five Iron Hard Seltzers step in.

Why Five Iron Hard Seltzers Are the Best Drinks for Golf

We created Five Iron specifically for people like you! Active, outdoorsy, social, and always chasing better. Here’s why our hard seltzers are quickly becoming the best drink on the golf course:

If you’re a fan of traditional beer, you’ll love our beer-inspired flavors. Our Piney Hops delivers a bold, IPA-style character with none of the bitterness or heaviness. And for purists, our Pilsner-Inspired seltzer brings that classic golden crispness to a lighter, more refreshing format.

We know the rhythm of a golf round – and our seltzers fit right into it. Toss a few cans in your cooler or cart bag and keep your game strong without breaking stride.

When to Enjoy a Five Iron on the Course

A well-timed drink can elevate any round. Here’s how we like to time our Five Iron seltzers during a day on the course:

Hole 1: Start with a light refresher like our Pilsner-Inspired seltzer to settle the nerves.
Hole 6: Warmed up and hitting your stride? Crack a Piney Hops to keep the momentum going.
Hole 9: The perfect time for a reset. Grab a chilled can and rehydrate while celebrating (or redeeming) your front nine.
Hole 13: Take the time to stop and savor the flavors of our beer-inspired seltzers before you sink this putt.
Hole 18: Toast to birdies, bogeys, and everything in between. Our seltzers are smooth enough for a victory lap—and light enough for a round two at the clubhouse.
