"This option looks like it’s a new version of one of my most reliable golf shirts. I know the blade collar is a nonstarter for some people, but I think it looks great. What I love about the shirt is how easy it is to move in, and how cool it feels. Again, I hate feeling hot on the golf course, so any shirt that finds a way to keep me from overheating gets a permanent spot in my golf shirt rotation." —Keely Levins
"I'm obsessed with the collar on this shirt. The mock-pleats and classic stripes are a great way to spice up the solid sleeveless golf shirt without adding too much glitz. This shirt is extra-lightweight and matches with just about everything in my closet." —Meredith Bausback

"Personally, I like mixing in a no-collar golf shirt. I feel just a little bit more athletic when I’m wearing one, and that’s always a good feeling on the golf course. (Not all golf courses are ok with collarless golf shirts, so check the dress code before you go.) This shirt has the benefit of being lightweight and moisture-wicking. I have this in white, and I love how it keeps me feeling in sweltering temperatures." -KL
"When I shop for golf shirts, I try to find a versatile top that I can wear to just about any course and in any weather. This polo has upscale styling with an ultra-athletic feel. I also love that it's made with sustainable materials." —Nicole Rae
"I find myself packing this sleeveless option from Tory Sport whenever I’m heading on a trip that includes golf. The classic look and flattering fit makes it easy to wear at any golf course, whether you’ve gotten an invite to an exclusive club or if you’re playing a quick nine at a local muni. The fabric is light, comfy and sweat-wicking. The price point is high, but the quality is there. It’s survived many rounds on the course and through the washing machine, and I’ve never worried about it looking over-worn. The blue color option is also currently on sale for $79." —KL

Similar to the traditional sleeved Nike Victory golf shirt, this top is another frequent flyer in my wardrobe rota. The wicking technology is great for warm days and it's got hem vents for a flattering fit. It comes in blue, black and white—but I love the blue color that's not quite navy but not too bright, either." —NR
