Jones Original Jones Bag vs Sunday Golf Loma Par 3 Bag

The Quick Verdict

Get the Jones Original Jones Bag. It holds all 14 clubs, and for most rounds that's non-negotiable. The Loma is a different kind of bag — purpose-built for par-3 courses, twilight rounds, and days when you're walking nine with half a set. But if you're looking for a carry bag to replace your main bag, the Jones is it, even at $40 more at list.

What They Have in Common

Both are single-strap carry bags made for walking, and neither is sold as waterproof. They're bags built around the idea that a walking golfer doesn't need to haul everything — just the right things.

Where They Differ

Club Capacity and Top Organization

This is the fundamental split. The Jones holds all 14 clubs in a 3-way top. The Loma holds up to 6 clubs in a 2-way top with a full-length divider. That full-length divider means club shafts don't tangle, which is a real thing over 18 holes — but you're still limited to six clubs before the bag is full. That's a deliberate design philosophy, not a flaw. For a par-3 round or a quick nine where you pick your six and walk, it works. For a regulation round where you want every club available, you're either leaving sticks in the car or squeezing.

Weight

Sunday Golf publishes the Loma's weight: 1.95 lbs empty. Jones publishes nothing. That makes a direct weight comparison impossible — and I'm not going to guess. What I can say is that 1.95 lbs with stand legs is a specific data point the Loma earns, and the Jones's silence on weight means you'd be buying without knowing. If weight is your deciding factor, the Loma is the only bag here with a number attached to it.

Stand Legs

The Loma has them. Jones's page doesn't say. If you care whether the bag stands on its own on the fairway, the Loma answers the question and the Jones doesn't.

Storage and Extras

Three pockets on the Jones. The Loma's pocket count isn't published, but Sunday Golf names an insulated cooler pocket, a velour-lined valuables pocket, and a rangefinder pocket. An insulated pocket is genuinely useful on a summer morning walk. The rangefinder pocket is a small thing that gets used every hole once you have it.

Price

Jones lists at $185. The Loma lists at $145. Forty dollars at list, in favor of the Loma.

Who Should Buy Which

Get the Jones Original Jones Bag if:

• You play full rounds with a full set and want one carry bag that handles it all.
• You're replacing a cart bag or a stand bag and want something minimal without leaving clubs behind.
• You walk regulation courses and the idea of choosing six clubs before you tee off isn't how you think about the game.

Get the Sunday Golf Loma Par 3 Bag if:

• You play par-3 courses, executive courses, or twilight nines where six clubs is genuinely enough.
• Weight is your primary concern and 1.95 lbs is the spec that got your attention.
• You want stand legs and a cooler pocket in a 1.95 lb bag — and you're honest with yourself about when you'll use it.

The Bottom Line

The Jones handles a full round; the Loma doesn't — and that's the comparison. If you're shopping for a main walking bag, the Jones is the one that works across all the rounds you actually play. The Loma is the right answer for a narrower question: a sub-2 lb bag with legs and a cooler, for the days you're walking nine with a half-set.
