When it comes to the best golf stand bags (opens in new tab) on the market, users are truly spoilt for choice, with multiple brands producing their very own models in a bid to capture the attention of the golfer. One of those companies is Cobra, a brand that is well-established on both the professional and amateur circuit.
Having previously tested the Cobra Ultralight stand bag (opens in new tab), we can easily conclude that they know a thing or two about making a premium product, with their most recent offering being the Ultradry Pro, a model that provides waterproof protection and a lightweight feel for when you’re out on the golf course.
We start with the biggest standout feature which, rather ideally, is the waterproofness of this golf bag. Playing around Essendon Country Club, in what at times was near course closure type rain, the Ultradry Pro kept all of my clubs and personal items bone-dry. Even the scorecard that was kept in the golf ball holder didn’t have a drop of water on it!

I have all the confidence in the world saying that this is one of the best waterproof golf bags (opens in new tab) on the market, especially in the stand bag category. The protection comes from seam sealed zippered pockets and, rather kindly, Cobra have included a waterproof rain hood that dashes water away from your club heads and shafts.
Like some of the best Titleist golf bags (opens in new tab) and best Ping golf bags (opens in new tab), we see Cobra implementing a five-way top and divider, something which worked really well out on the course as I found there to be no club tangling whatsoever. This also allowed me to slide my golf clubs in and out very freely without the need to rearrange the whole bag itself.
The final aspect of the Ultradry Pro that I was very impressed with was the straps. Not only were they well-padded and meant for easy carrying, something which was easy anyway as the bag only weight 4.5 pounds, but the Swivel Strap worked superbly throughout the round.
You may wonder what the Swivel Strap does? Well, thanks to a well-positioned shoulder clip, it allows the bag to swivel and move whilst you’re walking the course. Essentially, as you put the bag on, it will move to the adjusted height, something which worked really well on sidehill and undulating lies and walks.

Although there are a lot of positives to this bag, there are one or two downsides, one…
