A car boot can become a jumble of spare balls, gloves, shoes and damp towels by the middle of winter. The Callaway Trunk Locker gives loose golf accessories a dedicated home. It is most useful if you regularly drive to the course and actually empty and dry your kit afterwards.
This is a researched buying guide, not a hands-on review. Product details were checked against Callaway TAG on 15 October 2026. No measured WordStream keyword demand or current Amazon UK sales figure was available for this topic.
What the Trunk Locker does
Callaway lists rigid dividers, accessible storage compartments, a shoe section with a mesh ventilation panel, oversized zips and a collapsible design. It is an organiser for accessories and footwear rather than a case for your clubs.

Check the Callaway Trunk Locker on Amazon UK. Check the live model, supplied items and dimensions before ordering; photographs showing accessories should not be read as an included-kit list.
Measure the space you have left
Measure your boot with your normal golf bag, trolley and other luggage already inside it. An organiser is only helpful if you can reach it without unloading everything else. Check height beneath the parcel shelf, the boot opening and the space needed to open the compartments.
Callaway’s product page has inconsistent punctuation in its dimension line. Rather than turn that into a confident measurement, confirm the exact dimensions with the UK seller. A cardboard outline of the seller-confirmed footprint is a useful way to check the space before purchase.
Organiser, shoe bag or simple storage box?
| Option | Most useful when | Compromise |
|---|---|---|
| Callaway Trunk Locker | You carry several small accessories and want defined compartments | Needs dedicated boot space and regular sorting |
| Separate shoe bag | Footwear is your main storage problem | Does little for loose balls, tees and gloves |
| Existing plastic storage box | You want an inexpensive way to collect dry equipment | May need smaller pouches to separate items |
Try the storage box you already own first. If it solves the problem, there is no need to replace it simply to have golf-branded storage. The Callaway makes more sense when divisions and a separate shoe area solve a specific irritation.
Use three kit groups
Keep frequently used dry items together: balls, tees and a spare glove. Put cleaning accessories in another section. Treat wet or muddy equipment as a separate job to deal with at home rather than another thing to zip away indefinitely.
Our winter golf towel routine explains a useful wet-and-dry split. The Callaway club brush guide covers cleaning kit that can travel alongside it.
Ventilation is not a drying system
A mesh panel allows air movement, but it does not turn a closed car boot into a drying room. Remove wet shoes and textiles promptly, clean them according to their care instructions and let them dry appropriately before storing them again.
Do not assume the organiser is waterproof, leakproof or a secure place for valuables. None of those claims is needed to make an organised boot useful. Check cleaning instructions before putting muddy soles against the fabric.
Who can skip it?
If you walk to your course, have a small shared boot or already use a locker, a smaller shoe bag and a couple of pouches may be easier. Gift buyers should also check the recipient’s transport routine: useful storage is personal, and a bulky organiser is not automatically a useful present.
Verdict
The Trunk Locker is a plausible buy for a driving golfer with loose kit and sufficient space. Confirm the dimensions, compare a simple box and commit to removing damp items after every round.
FAQs
Does it hold golf clubs?
It is intended to organise accessories and footwear, not replace a golf bag.
Can I leave wet shoes inside?
Remove and dry them after the round. The mesh shoe panel is not a powered dryer.
Does it fold away?
Callaway describes it as collapsible for storage when not in use.
