Every golfer has snapped a wooden tee on a mishit, watched it cartwheel into the rough, and quietly wondered why tee design hasn’t changed since the 1900s. Martini Golf Tees decided the answer was: it should look like a cocktail glass.

What it actually is
Martini Golf Tees trade the traditional narrow peg cup for a wide, flared head shaped exactly like a martini glass. That wider surface cradles the ball more securely than a standard tee, so it’s less likely to tip or fall off in wind or on an uneven lie. Instead of wood that snaps on a mishit, these are made from a flexible plastic polymer that bends under impact and springs back into shape, which is the whole reason a single tee can survive dozens of rounds instead of one bad swing.
They’re USGA-conforming, made in the USA, and come in a mixed pack spanning three lengths — 3¼”, 2¾”, and 2″ — so you’ve got a tee for driver, fairway wood, and iron shots all in one bag.
Who actually benefits from it
This is for anyone who goes through a box of wooden tees every few rounds and is tired of restocking. The wider cup also genuinely helps golfers who struggle with consistent teeing height or who play on windy courses where a standard tee gets knocked over before the swing even starts. If snapped tees and lost tees are a recurring minor annoyance in your bag, this fixes both at once.
If you already play with the tall, minimal-contact tees designed to reduce driver spin and don’t mind replacing them occasionally, you don’t need this — that’s a different problem being solved for a different kind of golfer. This is about durability and stability, not squeezing out extra spin numbers.
The verdict
Martini Golf Tees are a simple, well-executed fix for a problem every golfer has quietly lived with for years: tees that break, tip over, or vanish into the rough one bad swing at a time. At under $15 for a mixed set covering three club lengths, it’s a cheap upgrade that should outlast a dozen boxes of wooden tees combined. Not flashy, just durable — which, for something you’re required to use on every single tee shot, is exactly the point.
