We’ve been keeping tabs on the best golf ball displays for collectible golf balls. There aren’t quite as many options today as there were 15-20 years ago, but the ones that are still around are much more readily available and established in their niche.
Here, we provide an overview of the top ten best golf ball displays for golf ball collectors and enthusiasts.

Golf Ball Display Options
There are a few major options for design and style of ball displays.
You can display a single golf ball (which we cover in another post), or a collection of golf balls.
This overview covers display options for multiple golf balls. Other choices for the design and style include:
- Material type
- Finish
- Foam inserts that secure the balls vs shelf-based displays
- Size
- Quantity of golf balls held
- Covers
- Personalization options
And, of course, quality. There are some very nice quality imports, but finding the right one can be hit and miss. Golf ball displays made in the USA will generally have a much higher quality (at least in the ones we cover here), but will come with a higher price tag.
Made in the USA – Note that options 1, 2, and 4 are made in the USA. These are truly well-crafted items that we’ve found are prized by people who are looking for the real deal. The other options are all nice for the price, but these three choices stand head and shoulders above the rest in terms of quality.
We’ll cover each of these points as we look at these ten different displays for collectible golf balls. Let’s dive in!
