The cheapest way to buy golf balls

Buyer guide · prices updated November 15, 2026

A dozen premium balls costs around $50–$60 at full price, and a lost ball on every other hole soon adds up. Here are the ways to pay less without changing the ball you like – and what today's prices look like.

1. Compare the price per dozen

Balls are sold as sleeves of 3, dozens, double dozens and "buy 3, get 1 free" boxes. Every price on this site is turned into a price per dozen so they can be compared fairly. A $173.97 "4 dozen for the price of 3" box, for example, works out at $43.49 a dozen.

2. Use multi-buy deals

"Buy 3, get 1 free" and double-dozen packs on Pro V1, TP5, Chrome Tour and Tour B are common, especially around Father's Day and the holidays. If you'll use the balls over a season, they're usually the cheapest way to buy new balls.

3. Buy last year's model

When a new version launches, shops discount the previous generation (often labelled "prior generation" or with the year). The changes between generations are usually small, so this is an easy saving. On each ball's page, earlier model years are listed after the current one and labelled.

4. Consider used balls

Used golf balls are recovered from lakes and courses and graded by condition. A Mint or Near Mint Pro V1 costs a fraction of a new one and plays very similarly for most golfers. See are used golf balls worth it?

5. Match the ball to your game

If you lose several balls a round, a soft distance ball at $18–$30 a dozen will save far more than any discount on a tour ball. See tour vs distance golf balls.
