Your game deserves a better ball.
But not every wallet has the means to buy the best of the best.
As the leader in the golf ball testing industry, it is our duty and obligation to help you find the right ball for your game, including the right ball for your budget.
Not everyone can afford a ball from the Titleist Pro V1 or Callaway Chrome Tour families. And that’s okay. The big thing about testing 44 different golf ball designs this year is that, of course, there are some outstanding performers in damn near every price range.
With that said, here are the best budget golf balls of 2025, based on the MyGolfSpy 2025 Golf Ball Test presented by UNRL.
BEST BUDGET/CHEAP GOLF BALLS
At the best average price
Winner:Tour in Maxfli
The 2025 Test again marked the Maxfli Tour as oneexcellent value with balanced performance. He hits that middle lane where many golfers live:solid speed,playable trajectoryANDreliable wedge rotationfor the price. If you want near-premium course results without paying a premium price.
The Maxfli Tour golf ball is the data-backed mid-price sweet spot.
Buy if:you want “do most things well” performance at an average price.
Skip if:you especially need high-compression durability or ultra-soft feel.
Runner-up:PXG Xtreme Tour
Strong, fast and distance prone with good iron flight, and not to mentionfor sale… The PXG Xtreme Tour is a solid mid-priced alternative for players who like a more solid shot.
Runner-up:Deputy Pro
Reliable mid/mid flight spin package with good iron distance at medium speeds. Vice Pro is a perennial DTC performer according to test trends
Best value
Winner:Kirkland Signature Performance+
Kirkland golf balls have been talked about a lot in the past. The 2025 ball test indicates adifferentKirkland than older versions: the driver rotation is not particularly high and offersapparent heightin some conditions with aurethane coverat a low price.
Greenside rotation isn’t the highest, but his value case is hard to argue against.
Buy if:you want true urethane performance at a stock price. Skip if:you need maximum wedge spin or a softer than average feel.
Runner-up:Srixon Ultispeed
Among the ionomer choices, the Srixon Ultispeed showed surprising driver/iron distance in the 2025. Greenside spin lags the urethane (as expected), but the value is strong.
