Which Par 3 Golf Bag Is Right for You? – Sunday Golf

With the Loma XL: It’s Saturday morning and you’re walking a local executive course with friends. Your Loma XL holds 7 clubs, giving you options for the variety of hole lengths. The double strap system distributes the weight evenly, and you’re comfortable through all 18 holes.

What Both Bags Have in Common

Before we get into the differences, it’s worth noting what makes both of these bags very Sunday Golf:

• Designed specifically for Par 3 and short-course golf

• Full-length stand system for easy setup

• 2-can Frosty Pocket

• External glove & tee holder

• Valuables pocket + apparel storage

• Lightweight, walkable, and easy to grab

Important: Both the Loma and Loma XL are available in S-Class versions, which offer a more premium look without losing the lightweight, walkable DNA of a true Par 3 golf bag. These versions are made with water-resistant PU leather with an easy-clean surface which makes wiping off dirt, grass, or spilled beverages effortless.

The Loma: Sunday Golf’s First Ever Golf Bag

The Loma isn’t just a Par 3 bag, it’s the bag that started Sunday Golf.

Why Golfers Love the Loma

At just 1.95 pounds, the Loma is one of the lightest Par 3 golf bags you can carry. It holds up to 4-6 clubs depending on your grip size, forcing you to be intentional with your setup (which is half the fun).

Key highlights:

• Ultra-lightweight carry

• Simple 2-way top divider

• Single strap for quick grab-and-go rounds (but you can also buy yourself a double strap)

• 6-pocket layout that still fits the essentials

• The widest color selection available

This is the bag you throw in your trunk just in case golf happens.

Packing tip for the Loma: With only 4-6 club slots, think strategically. A common setup: putter, pitching wedge, 7-iron, 9-iron, and maybe a hybrid. You’re building a mini-arsenal that forces better course management.

Best Use Cases for the Loma

The Loma shines when:

• You’re playing Par 3 courses

• You’re heading to the practice range

• You want a minimalist walking round

• You’re riding cart-path-only and dropping a small bag on the tee

Pro tip: Clip your Loma to your Big Rig cart bag so you can bring both to the course. Unclip it when you’re putting on the green or want to carry your pitching wedge. It helps so you don’t forget your clubs. No unpacking, no re-organizing, and no extra weight.

The Loma XL: More Room, More Versatility

The Loma XL takes everything golfers loved about the Loma and adds breathing room.

Why Golfers Choose the Loma XL

Weighing 3.4 pounds, the Loma XL is still incredibly light but it allows you to carry 6-8 clubs and features a double strap system for better balance over longer walks.

Key upgrades:

• 3-way top divider for better club organization

• Double strap for even weight distribution

• Same Frosty Pocket, same pocket layout

• Can be worn with a single strap if you prefer

• Better option for extended walking rounds

Introduced in 2022, the Loma XL was built for golfers who wanted a Par 3 bag that could stretch its legs a little.

Best Use Cases for the Loma XL

The Loma XL is ideal if:

• You want more club options

• You walk frequently

• You play short courses and casual 18s

• You like flexibility without committing to a full-size bag

It’s the “do-it-all” Par 3 golf bag. The extra 2-3 clubs give you more shot-making options. Consider adding a lob wedge for tricky greens or a fairway wood for longer par 3s. The 3-way divider keeps your clubs from tangling even when the bag is full.

Travel tip: If you’re planning to bring your Sunday golf bag along for a trip, the Mule golf travel bag makes it easy. It was specifically designed to fit the Loma, Loma XL, and El Camino (Sunday Golf’s mid size stand bag). The Mule is easy to roll through the airport, toss into a rental car, and unpack once you arrive; it’s perfect for golfers who want to travel smart without hauling a bulky full-size travel bag.

The Loma vs Loma XL FAQs

Are Par 3 golf bags good for beginners?

Yes. Par 3 golf bags are great for beginners because they encourage carrying fewer clubs, simplify decision-making, and make walking rounds less tiring and more enjoyable.

Is the Loma XL too big for Par 3 courses?

Not at all. It’s still a true Par 3 golf bag, just with more flexibility and room to customize your setup.

Is a Par 3 golf bag worth owning if I already have a full-size bag?

For many golfers, yes. A Par 3 golf bag adds flexibility without needing to bring or reorganize a full-size bag.

Can I use a par 3 bag on a regular 18-hole course?

Absolutely, especially the Loma XL. While you’ll have fewer club options than a full bag, many golfers find it forces better shot-making and speeds up play. It’s perfect for casual rounds or when you want to focus on scoring with limited equipment.

Which bag should I choose if I mostly play executive courses?

The Loma  is the better choice for executive courses. These courses often mix par 3s with shorter par 4s, so having 6-8 clubs gives you more versatility without the weight of a full bag.

Ready to Pick Your Par 3 Partner?

Choosing between the Loma and Loma XL really comes down to how you like to play and how much you like to carry. Whether you’re a minimalist who loves traveling light or someone who wants a little extra versatility in their setup, both bags are built to keep golf fun, casual, and stress-free.

Carry less. Enjoy more. And maybe sneak in an extra Par 3 while you’re at it.
