Whether with colleagues or friends, the golf course has become a popular place to flash a unique swing and unique style, and golf hats from Conner Hats can accommodate all manners of function and fancy. You can give the game’s founders a tip of the cap with a Scotch-style newsboy golf hat, or you can maximize your coverage with a breathable, wide-brim sun protection golf hat.
Conner Hats offers handmade golf hats designed for serious sun protection and all-day comfort on the course. Our collection features wide-brim hats, breathable bucket hats, and classic newsboy caps—all made from sustainable materials including organic cotton, recycled plastic bottles, hemp, and organic raffia.
Sun Protection That Works: Most golf hats in our collection offer sun protection, with UPF ratings applying only to qualifying hats. Wide-brim styles like the Aussie Golf Soakable Mesh Hat provide coverage for face, ears, and neck—critical areas where golfers receive hundreds of times the UV exposure needed to cause sunburn over a year.
Sustainable Materials: As a family-owned business, we use organic cotton, hemp, recycled polyester from plastic bottles, and organic raffia. Our original St. Augustine warehouse runs on 100% solar power (orders now ship from American Fork, Utah), and we have eliminated single-use plastics from packaging, using biodegradable materials and recycled paper instead. We still maintain our company food forest at the site and have created a hub there for other small businesses to use the location.
Price Range:
All hats come with Conner's limited lifetime guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship (https://connerhats.com/pages/lifetime-warranty), plus free shipping on orders over $79 and 30-day exchanges. The guarantee also includes a 50% off code to replace the same hat if yours is ever lost or stolen.
Sun protection: wide brims shade face, ears and neck; hats with open mesh, vents or brims under 2.5 inches carry no UPF rating. Wide-brim styles provide the most comprehensive coverage, shading your face, ears, and neck—areas particularly vulnerable during long rounds. The Cancer Council recommends brims at least 3 inches (7.5cm) wide for optimal sun protection. Our wide-brim bucket hats and outback-style hats meet or exceed this standard.
We use sustainable materials including organic cotton, hemp, recycled polyester made from plastic bottles, organic raffia, paper straw, and canvas. Many styles feature moisture-wicking fabrics and breathable mesh panels. Our Aussie Golf Soakable Mesh Hat combines canvas with mesh ventilation for cooling in extreme heat. All materials are chosen for durability, breathability, and minimal environmental impact.
For hot weather golf, prioritize three features: wide brim for shade (3+ inches), breathable materials with mesh ventilation, and moisture-wicking sweatbands. Our Aussie Golf Soakable Mesh Hat is specifically designed for extreme heat—you can wet the crown before play for evaporative cooling that lasts hours. Light colors like khaki, sand, and white reflect heat better than dark colors. Bucket hats and wide-brim styles provide better neck protection than traditional caps.
Yes. Our golf hat collection includes unisex sizing with adjustable features. Most styles come in Small through XX-Large or XXX-Large, with many featuring adjustable drawstrings or toggles. We also offer specific sizing options like Small/Medium and Large/X-Large for better fit. Check individual product pages for detailed size charts and measure your head circumference just above the ears for the most accurate fit.
Care depends on material. Organic cotton and canvas hats can be spot-cleaned with mild soap and water, then air-dried away from direct sunlight to prevent fading. Straw and raffia hats should be wiped with a damp cloth only—never submerge them. Reshape hats while damp and allow them to dry completely before storage. Store hats upside down or on a hat stand to maintain shape. Our soakable mesh hats are designed to get wet, but should air-dry completely between uses to prevent mildew.
Yes, through several mechanisms. Wide-brim hats reduce glare, helping you track the ball and read greens more accurately. Sun protection prevents squinting and eye strain during long rounds. Keeping your head cool improves focus and reduces fatigue—heat stress impairs decision-making and swing consistency. Moisture-wicking sweatbands prevent perspiration from dripping into your eyes at critical moments. Professional and amateur golfers both wear hats for these performance benefits, not just style.
Bucket hats have a downward-sloping brim all around, typically 2-3 inches wide, creating a relaxed fit. Wide-brim hats have a flatter, broader brim (3-4+ inches) that provides more extensive sun coverage. Both styles offer excellent protection; bucket hats tend to be more casual and packable, while wide-brim hats (like our outback styles) offer maximum coverage for face, ears, and neck. Choose based on your preferred style and how much sun exposure you expect.
Many of our golf hats are crushable and packable. Canvas, organic cotton, and some straw styles can be folded or rolled and placed in your golf bag or suitcase without permanent damage. Reshape them when you arrive and they'll return to form. Our Aussie Cooler Canvas Mesh Hiker Hat and similar styles are particularly travel-friendly. Structured wool felt and leather hats should not be crushed—these require hat boxes for travel.
We offer free 30-day exchanges (USA only) if your hat doesn't fit or meet your expectations. All Conner Hats are covered by a limited lifetime guarantee against defects in materials and workmanship. The guarantee also includes a 50% off code to replace the same hat if yours is ever lost or stolen. If a hat fails due to manufacturing defect, we'll replace it. Orders over $79 ship free.
