What GolfWRXers are saying about the best golf shorts above the knee
In our forums, our members have been discussing golf shorts that rest above the knee. WRXer ‘equipage’ asks fellow members for feedback on “comfy golf shorts that aren’t too long”, and WRXers have been sharing their best selections in our forums.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- StillCantPutt: “I’m a huge fan of Greyson – my new favorite shorts. High-end material and modern fit.”
- Nserav01: “Dependent on how tall you are, I’m 5’9” and wear the Lulu Lemon Commission short 9″, and they sit just about the knee. Modern fit, probably every color you could want. Not cheap at $88 but they last forever, they don’t get wrinkled. Definitely a sweat-wicking fabric that’s fantastic and (at least for me) doesn’t show sweat stains.”
- Crimson62185: “Bonobos, Peter Millar Salem High Drape, Greyson, or Gfore. Shouldn’t be able to go wrong with any of these.”
- mcc0819: “Not being a tall guy myself, I’ve searched far and wide for the perfect pair of shorts to golf on. Through extensive (and expensive) research I’ve narrowed down the best “above the knee” shorts by price category: $75 and above – Lululemon Commission short, Rhone Commuter Short, Bonobos Highland Golf Shorts, Vineyard Vine Fairway Tech shorts. $50-$75 – Nike Flex shorts, J. Crew Tech short, Adidas Ultimate365 9″ shorts, Puma Weekender 101 short. $25-$50 – PGA Tour Apparel Flat Front 7″ golf short, Old Navy Ultimate Tech Shorts 8″ shorts, Chubbies 7″ Golf shorts, Bearbottom Hybrid shorts There you go folks. These are, in my humble opinion, the best shorts for golf in each price category. It took a long time to research and buy about 25 different shorts but most importantly, an angry wife that discovered a new package every day for me to compile this list. Cheers.”
- kerrlybill: “Lululemon has a variety of lengths and fits. I find the commission slim 9” to be perfect for me. Very comfortable, well made, and they will warranty them for life. They can even hem in house if you want to take a bit of length off.”
- skaileh: “Really like the Bonobos Highland Golf Shorts. Not too short or tight but fitted and above the knee, look nice, reasonably priced. And they have this thin rubber stripe that wraps the inside of the shorts at the belt line that keeps them from sliding around/down.”
- a_crook: “100% Bonobos – 8-inch inseam is perfect- fabric is higher quality than any others I have purchased.”
Neal Shipley was the first to admit that he enjoyed his food while in college. But since his days at Ohio State, he’s slimmed down and earned a PGA Tour Card.
That hasn’t stopped him from having fun with his wedge stampings, though it’s led to some misunderstandings.
On the 54 (degree), we have ‘Big Fudge,'” Shipley told GolfWRX. “It was supposed to be ‘Big Fridge,’ so this happened a little while ago. ‘Big Fridge’ was a nickname between my college teammates and I, with ‘fridge’ meaning stomach, a big stomach.
“We told the Ping guys to put … ‘Big Fridge’ on it, and I think maybe some bad cell service or something, and they thought I said ‘fudge,’ so they put fudge on it.”
On Shipley’s 50-degree he also continues the food theme, this time with his go-to order at the “Golden Arches,” and his stamping “DONS 7.”
“The number 7 meal, the two cheeseburger meal, that was my McDonald’s order, back when I would have McDonald’s frequently,” Shipley shared.
At GolfWRX, we are a community of like-minded individuals who all experience and express our enjoyment of the game in many ways.
It’s that sense of community that drives day-to-day interactions in the forums on topics that range from best driver to what marker you use to mark your ball. It even allows us to share another thing we all love – buying and selling equipment.

LinkSoul’s Boardwalker is hands down the best short in the business.
Beautiful tri-blend fabric built for 24/7 comfort and breathability. The shorts speak for themselves….California cool!
Best part of all…… you can wear them anywhere and anytime. If you prefer to look like a textbook golf geek, shop the brands mentioned in many of the posted comments.
Yew!
