Everything You Need to Know About Magnetic Towels

Whether you're new to golf or a seasoned player, your golf towel is one of the most essential accessories in your bag. At STICKIT, we design towels that are smarter, stronger, and will stand up to the test of time. Below, we answer the most common questions golfers ask about their towels.

Q: What is the loop or hole on a golf towel for?

A: The hole or loop on a traditional golf towel is intended for attaching the towel to your bag using a carabiner or hook. While it keeps the towel somewhat accessible, it often ends up dragging on the ground, getting tangled, or being left behind when you walk away from your bag. It also requires two hands to unclip and reattach—slowing you down during your round.

With the STICKIT Magnetic Towel, there's no need for awkward clips or loops. Our industrial-strength magnet lets you instantly stick your towel to your clubs, cart, or gear—making it easy to grab, drop, and keep moving. It's faster, cleaner, and always where you need it. It also has a patented removable magnetic patch so you can safely wash and dry your towel without causing damage to your appliances. 

Q: What is the purpose of a golf towel?

A: A golf towel keeps your clubs, balls, and hands clean and dry for better performance. It helps maintain traction, remove dirt and moisture, and can even keep you cool in hot weather. Our towels are specifically designed for convenience on the course—we’ve designed three sizes of magnetic towels to match how and where you play:

• Mini Towel: Small and compact towel that is light weight, super water absorption, and taking it to the green to keep your ball clean. Clean balls sink putts.

• Classic Towel: The all-around go-to—ideal for attaching to your bag or clubs and covering all your on-course cleaning needs.

• XL Towel: Oversized and ultra-absorbent—built for players who want maximum coverage and cleaning power, especially near the green.

Each towel features a built-in magnet for quick access and a microfiber blend that’s ultra-effective—wet one side, keep the other dry, and always stay dialed in. Along with your towel, a STICKIT Landing Pad is the perfect accessory to add to your bag to make it a magnetic hub.

Q: What is a magnetic golf towel and why do I need one?

A: Magnetic towels, like the ones from STICKIT, feature a built-in magnet that attaches to your clubs, cart, or gear so you never have to bend down or fumble for your towel again. It’s convenience, redefined—on the course or the range. They easily stick to multiple surfaces like your cart, clubs, or a landing pad (that was designed with convenience in mind--simply attach to your bag, making it magnetic).

Q: What is the difference between a caddy towel and a regular golf towel?

A: Caddy towels—often called player’s towels—are extra-large, ultra-absorbent towels traditionally carried by caddies for pros who need maximum cleaning power and surface area. They’re great for serious golfers, but typically not designed for everyday convenience.

The STICKIT XL Magnetic Towel bridges that gap. At 35" x 20", it’s built for players who want that same oversized performance—without sacrificing portability or function. Here’s what sets it apart:

• Dual-Zone Usage Design: One ribbed side for deep club cleaning, the other smooth for drying hands, grips, or sweat.

• Premium Microfiber with Ribbed Texture: Designed to trap dirt, grass, and moisture while being soft enough for face or skin use on hot rounds.

• Powerful Center-Mounted Magnet: Features an ultra-strong N52 neodymium magnet with center placement for better balance and grab-and-go use on your clubs, cart, or gear.

• Patented Removable Magnetic Patch: Lets you safely toss it in the washer and dryer—no hardware damage or wash restrictions.

Unlike smaller towels or clip-on styles, the XL STICKIT gives you pro-level function without the hassle of a caddie. Prefer something smaller? We also offer a Classic size for everyday use and a Mini for taking to the green.

Q: Are microfiber towels good for golf clubs?

A: Absolutely. Microfiber is the gold standard for golf towels because it traps dirt, absorbs moisture, dries quickly, and won’t scratch club surfaces. The STICKIT Classic, All-sport and mini towels are made with premium microfiber.

Q: How often should I wash my golf towel?

A: We recommend washing your golf towel after every few rounds, or anytime it’s heavily soiled or damp. Clean clubs = better shots.

Q: Can I wash and dry my golf towel?

A: Yes—and with STICKIT, it’s easier than ever. We’re the only brand in the industry with a removable magnetic patch, so you can safely toss your towel in the washing machine and dryer without damaging the magnet or your laundry appliances.

Other magnetic towels require hand washing and air drying to avoid magnet corrosion or fabric damage. With STICKIT, just remove the patch, wash and dry like normal, then reattach and get back to the course. Clean gear, no hassle!

Q: Should you wet your golf towel before a round?

A: Yes—many golfers like to wet one side of the towel to clean dirty clubs or balls mid-round, while keeping the other side dry for wiping hands and grips.

Q: Why is there a slit in the middle of some golf towels?

A: Slits are typically designed so towels can hang over clubs or alignment sticks, but they’re not the most secure or convenient solution—especially when you're on the move.

STICKIT Magnetic Towels eliminate the need for slits altogether. Our ultra-strong magnet allows you to securely attach your towel to any metal surface—your clubs, cart frame, or bag hardware—so it stays in place and is always within reach. Plus, by hanging it from your cart or clubs while walking or driving, it has the chance to air dry between holes, keeping it fresher and more effective throughout your round.

It's a smarter, cleaner way to towel off.

Q: Where do you clip your golf towel?

A: With a STICKIT Magnetic Towel, our built-in industrial-strength magnet lets you stick your towel directly to your irons, cart frame, or even your putter (as our golf towels and mini towels come with a plug you can insert into the end of your putter). The all-sport towels come with a clip you can attach to your belt, a bag, etc. We designed this with keeping it easily accessible without dragging or dangling in mind.

For maximum convenience, we recommend pairing your towel with our STICKIT Landing Pad—a compact magnetic hub that attaches securely to your golf bag, giving you a dedicated spot to “stick it” every time. It’s the perfect addition for golfers who walk or ride and want their towel exactly where they need it. You can purchase as a stand alone item, or in our bundle packages. 

Q: How big should a golf towel be?

A: It depends on how you play—which is why we we created three STICKIT towel sizes. Each one serves a specific purpose to keep your game clean, dialed, and efficient:

• Mini Towel: The ultimate “grab-and-go to the green” towel. Compact and lightweight, it’s perfect for cleaning your ball, putter, and sinking putts without hauling your full setup.

• Classic Towel: The all-purpose workhorse. Designed for everyday use on the course, it’s big enough to handle dirty clubs and golf balls while still staying compact and tidy.

• XL Towel: Our largest towel at 35" x 20", featuring dual-zone cleaning (ribbed texture + cotton terry-weave towel). Ideal for players who want want the dual-zone usage for half wet/half dry - perfect for those hot days on the course.

Different towels for different moments—because no one does it all.

Q: What towel does Tiger Woods use?

A: While we can’t speak for Tiger, we can confidently say as the original creator of the magnetic golf towel—designed by a former pro golfer, our towels are built to perform, and made with premium materials that are engineered to last.

We’re proud to see our towels—and our Landing Pad system—in the hands of more PGA Tour caddies and players. With features like our removable magnetic patch (the only one of its kind), high-end microfiber, and ultra-strong magnet, STICKIT towels are trusted on and off the tour for a reason.
