Oakley Flak with prism lenses (which I alternate with dark gray lens). Pretty indestructible and going on 6 years now.

Costa Del Mar Tybee, Appalach, or Cut frames.

Can never get behind playing in shades. Tried them all Oakley, Rayban, Costa. Still don’t play in shades and likely never will, but Shady Rays makes some great sunglasses. Have a pair of “clubmasters” and “Aviators” and love them both. When holding them up against a pair of raybans you can definitely tell the difference in quality of the frames. But the lenses are every bit as good and for a pair of polarized shades for less than $50 they are a hell of a deal and look phenomenal. My vote goes to Shady Rays.

Maui Jim, no question.

Anything Maui Jim, nothing else comes close.

Agree- Maui Jim is in a different league when it comes to sun glasses.

I prefer Oakley. Been rotating between different pair of Holbrooks

Maui Jim.

Agree, Oakley is overpriced and cliche, but they are really good sunglasses. The Prizm Polarized, are excellent lenses.

Smith. Techlite glass.or chromapop plastic lenses, you cannot go wrong.

Bolle Golf

I did not know Smith made glass lenses. Will check them out.

Maui Jim first

Revo second

They are money. I have a copper mirror pair, they darken if brighter out. Techlite + I think. Polarized, photochromic lenses. Perfect for golf.

My other pair is bronze mirror. But the chromapop, so lighter plastic lenses.

For me, the best golf lenses I have found are Electric California Knoxvilles with the Rose tint. They were the first company I saw with this type of lense color "designed" for golf. Going on two years and they work the best for me on course.

For non-golf, Maui Jim is my favorite - versatile, great designs, lightweight, awesome polarization.

Oakleys are good, though I did think the regular golf Prizm was too bright on super crystal clear days. Hear that the Dark Prizm is good. Getting to that stage in life where I don't care what I look like in this area - just want the best function. The EVZero Blades might be the trick because they basically have no frames in view and are SUPER lightweight. But I can't find them anywhere to try on OR to buy with the Dark Prizm golf lenses. Oakley.com had them for a minute but with some weird color combo.

Oakley Targetline Prizm Dark Golf.

Costas, specifically the Josè’s with the polarized glass lenses and blue mirror finish. Haven’t found anything better.

Maui Jim all day every day. I have never been able to to putt comfortably with sunglasses no matter the brand.

2nd Oakley Targetline Prizm Dark Golf. They're a bit large, but they're comfortable and the lenses are fantastic.

I had been a Costa guy for a few years but the rubber pieces separate from the plastic after a year or two. Shady Rays was running a 50% off sale and I got in on it. I am impressed with the quality of the lenses. The frames are nothing really to write home about but they do the job of holding the lenses and are comfortable.

The "mystery pair" special they run is a great bargain as well. I was pleasantly surprised with what they were. I wasn't going to pick that frame but glad they came as they are nice.

Knoxville Pro with Rose OHM lens. Absolutely phenomenal. I wear them everywhere. Testing has shown that Rose-tinted lenses are the best for depth perception on green-colored surfaces while maintaining great glare reduction. These lenses have also been treated so that they don't fog up or accumulate water. I'm a sweaty guy playing in South Texas humidity, and they've never slipped off my nose, never fogged up, and are not hot on my face. I could not recommend these more - I got my pair for $50 brand new on eBay.

Maui Jim Ho’okipa with rose lenses, and Maui Jim World Cup in Marlin finish. Love my MJs. I have a little bit of a sunglasses problem, especially since my eyesight has started to falter just a little. Good excuse to buy new shades. Next up are MJ Cook Pines.

I have the Oakley Target Lines with the golf prizm lenses, and they are fine, but the frame is a bit big and gets uncomfortable after a while, and the lens is basically see-through from the front, so they look pretty weird on. I basically don’t wear them anymore, which is a shame because I got them customized and so I can’t really sell them or anything.

Roka is making a splash. I just ordered a pair of prescription Dragon Alliance, who are also getting some positive press. I do have a prescription Oakley set, and they are great, but the tint is not right seeing the greens. I wear bifocals and usually just rear my normal non tented glasses. However, this all changes when I get my Dragons. I got, polarized transitions.. It may be a costly experiment on the course, but I need them in the hot shop as well....

Oakley Flak Prizm. Love the frames/shape. Lenses give great contrast and aren't very dark (I dont want my golf lenses to make things dark, its not the beach). Also, like that I switch out to low light lenses in the winter/fog. One thing I'd add is some of the other brands tend to make their golf lenses polarized so another reason I like these is the non-polarized option. I love polarized lenses for the beach/driving, but I read greens better with non-polarized lenses.

Maui Jim

Revo, not the cheapest sunglasses but great quality. Can't recommend them enough.

Oakley makes the sunglasses to transform a tool. You’d hate for the kids to think you lost your cool. I like fit and look of Holbrook but haven’t experimented with different lenses. I’d like to try Stenson’s fave cyborg lookin shades but gotta get under 3 index to rock those.

I tried playing with Ray Bsns but moved to the Oakley Prizm grey lenses. Really good on the course and stay put.

Oakley. I love Maui Jim and have a few different styles but oakley flaks are the best for wearing while swinging. I dont even notice them and they feel like they dont move one bit during the swing. I dont think Maui has a comparable sport style.
