Jaguar XF Sportbrake – used from £24,450 Read full road test
They say that making the right impression in the club car park is almost as important as your swing — one loose swing here and you could be out of there quicker than you can shout "fore right". Thankfully, you will have no such problems if you turn up in one of these. Estate cars don’t come better looking than the XF, making this a surefire way to impress the club pro. 550-litres of luggage space with all seats in place will get you, your pals and all your gear to the first tee with ease and built-in cubby box in the boot means your halfway sandwiches will stay in-tact too.
Audi A6 Avant – used from £5,989Read full road test
This car is so stylish Audi couldn’t face calling it an estate. The A6 Avant is as classy as they come and, with those four rings on the front, it will fit right in parked outside the clubhouse. With a whopping 1,680 litres of boot space you’ll be able to fit clubs, trolleys, umbrellas, you name it, inside with acres of room to spare. If you’re prone to the occasional “power-fade”, opt for a model with Audi’s famed 4x4 Quattro system, which will get you out of any type of rough.
Porsche Panamera - used from £39,990 Read full road test
The ultimate golfing sports car; the Panamera is the perfect motor for any hotshot golfer. Legendary Porsche performance combined with all the space of a modern saloon means your mates will be desperate for a lift to the course in one of these. With four spacious seats and 450-litres of room in the back, it won’t even be too much of a squeeze. And, with the 300 bhp, 3.6-litre V6 base model you'll never be late for your early-morning tee-off again. Rory McIlroy, take note.
BMW 5 Series Touring – used from £2,250 Read full road test
The 5 Series is the motoring king of the executive world, and it’s easy to see why. This car just oozes character. Imposing, masculine styling, plush armchair-esque seats and a peerless driving performance make the 5 Series the big car for a big dog at the golf course. Everybody in the clubhouse bar will be desperate to share a drink with the driver of one of these. But you won’t mind missing out on a trip to the 19th if you get to drive this mini-limousine home.
