I bought this case and loved it. I couldn't have been more pleased with its sturdiness, rolling ease, and quality of construction. My average sized stand bag fit nicely without much effort and there was room enough for shoes and other odd items inside.HOWEVER, this case is so huge that it is nearly impossible to travel with if you rent a car. Don't be fooled by the length, sure you can fit a 49" driver in any trunk, but this case is 14" in diameter, so it is much larger than the length would lead you to believe. I recently flew to Las Vegas, and the only rental car with a big enough trunk was a Lincoln Continental (believe me I tried every trunk they had and this was the only one big enough). I usually rent an economy or full size car, so upgrading to a luxury car cost me a lot of extra money--I could have spent that money on a new driver! You can always try the back seat, but I needed it for people so that wasn't an option for me, though an economy or compact car will still be too small.So, I have sold it and plan to buy a Club Glove Burst Proof travel bag which I have used before with good results. At least with a soft sided travel bag you can remove the clubs and fold up the bag to fit it all in any trunk or hatchback.It's a great case, just be aware that it is not easy to travel with, you need a gigantic trunk.

When this arrived I was very impressed. From the moment I took it out of the box I could tell it was a well constructed quality product. It also looks great. I closely inspected the wheels, locks, handles, hinges, etc. - and while I wouldn't want to try this - I think I could take a hammer to any part of this thing and not break it. You can also tell they put some thought in to the engineering and design. For example, the in-line wheels are recessed into the case with protective covers on the side, and the latches are protected so they won't make contact if (i.e., when) the case is dropped on its side.Right after I placed my order, I went back and read the description and looked at the photo. I realized there was no mention of a TSA lock, and the photo shows standard metal latches with no apparent place for a user supplied lock. However, I called the company the next day and they said the photo is from an older version and all their golf cases now come with TSA locks. The photo for the Deluxe Case (2SKB-4814W) shows the correct lock and latches. There are three latches, with the center one locking.Without question, this is a big case, but not really any larger that it has to be to fit a standard set of clubs and drivers. It stands just slightly over 50" and the depth and width are 12-1/4" x 13." So it's fairly efficient considering you can pack a 12" standard bag and clubs. As others have noted, you could have trouble fitting it in a trunk or transporting it, but that's probably true with most hard-shell (non collapsing) cases. I considered a hybrid bag/hard-top case, which would be a good option for somebody concerned about size, but for maximum protection I would definitely recommend this case. It's really not much harder to wheel around than a hybrid (or soft case, which I would not recommend for airline travel), and shouldn't cost any extra to check than standard baggage for most airlines. Many airlines have specific allowances for sports and other equipment; it may exceed the the maximum dimensions as long as it meets the weight requirement. They also won't make you sign a liability waiver. Compared to hybrid and soft cases, this case is a little heavy at about 18 lbs empty, but even fully loaded should easily weigh-in under the 50 lbs max set by most airlines. Another disadvantage of a hard case for some may be storage, but I just use it to store my clubs and it doesn't take up any additional space the the garage.

I bought this case with the advise from a friend, I couldn't have made a better decision. This case not only protected my clubs but made the hassle at the airport minimal. I love that there is an unconditional lifetime warranty on this product, plus it's made in America! Thanks SKB for making a great trip with no hiccups.... i will be looking to buy a few rifle cases for next years hunt in Alaska.
