Pride Sports 69mm Wooden Golf Tees Review – Best of 2025

★★★★★ 5-Star Review: Pride Sports Special Edition Golf Tees

As a golf professional with nearly four decades of experience, I’ve hit thousands of tee shots and used just about every tee on the market. So I don’t say this lightly—the Pride Sports Special Edition tees are the best I’ve played with in a long time. They're consistent, tough, and bring something fresh to every round.

Functional, Reliable, and Built to Last

Both styles—Paint Splatter and the classic Special Edition novelty designs—are made from 100% solid hardwood. These tees aren't just for show. The 69 mm length (that’s 2 ¾ inches) is spot-on for modern drivers and woods, giving you ideal tee height every time. They hold their shape well, even after multiple shots.

Breakage is minimal, which makes them good value, and the finish is non-toxic and lead-free, which matters when you care about the course and environment. I’ve used tees before that flake or leave paint on the clubface—these don’t.

Paint Splatter Edition – Bright, Bold, Practical

The Paint Splatter Tees are more than just colourful—they’re genuinely practical. The bold colours make them easy to spot after your drive, even in long grass or damp ground. That reduces how many you lose. Options like Blue/Orange, Pink/Black, and Turquoise/Black offer just the right amount of personality without going over the top.

They’re perfect for players who want a bit of fun with their gear but still expect performance.

Special Edition Tees – Novelty That Doesn’t Compromise

I expected the Special Edition novelty designs to be more of a gimmick, but I was wrong. Each tee has the same solid hardwood construction and durable paint finish as the splatter range. You can pick a design that suits your mood or game—Beer Mug for fun rounds, Shamrock for luck, Skull & Crossbones when you're feeling aggressive off the tee.

They're also great as a small gift or stocking filler for golfers who already have everything.

My Final Hole

Pride Sports has nailed the balance between design and function. These tees hold up to repeated use, provide consistent ball height, and give you an easy way to bring a bit of character to your game. They’ve quickly become my go-to for all rounds, casual or competitive.

If you’re still using plain white tees from the pro shop bin, it’s time to upgrade.
