I used the case to transport model boats to a race in Australia. It works very well, but unlike smaller golf bags, it is considered oversize by US airlines (United). If you fill it so it weighs over 50 pounds, it will be over weight as well and quite expensive. Neither Air New Zealand nor Quantas charged extra even though my bag was both oversize and over weight for their domestic flights. It worked really well and was easy to haul around airports despite its size.

I am a professional photographer and I bought this case to transport my studio gear. After packing the case, my husband carried it down the stairs and one of the handles broke. I emailed SKB and within a few hours, I received an email that they would send me a new handle (actually they sent two just in case). The handles and latches on this case have a lifetime warranty. In the meantime, I used it again and another handle (the top one) broke. I just didn't think this case was going to work because the handles are plastic and would not withstand the weight. I even asked customer service and they said that the case was weight rated up to 175 lbs. So I emailed again and asked if there were other handles. They have metal spring loaded handles that line up perfectly with the holes in the case. (There are 3 holes in the new handle, but since the other two line up, I didn't have to drill into the case which would have voided the warranty.) Anyway, I got those handles within a week of the email and they work perfectly!

I only gave this product 4 stars because the handles are just not durable. The customer service was absolutely outstanding though! They responded quickly to my problem and were able to find the perfect solution!

Believe it or not, we use these cases for SPORT KITES... Not golf. But, our standard kite gear is worth over $6,000 and being made of carbon (like golf clubs) and rip stop, they need solid protection.

SKB makes the best cases I've come across... Unconditional lifetime warranty, and all the parts are set up in such a way they can mail you new pieces and they can be changed with ordinary household tools.

This is now the second SKB case I have for this purpose, in addition to the "Standard" SKB golf case.

The "standard" doesn't run into any problem with the airlines, but I have a feeling this new "double" might be oversize... Haven't found out yet.

We purchased this to carry around our trade show banners and other misc stuff. The size and built is great. It is really big so you would definitely not want to travel with this in a compact rental. Oh and obviously they work well with golf bags too for the weekend getaway. Overall very pleased with the product.

I'm using this case to haul around a building products display.UPS it everywhere. Beware though, not all airlines will allow this to be checked. I have found United to be one of the few that will allow it.

I belong to a couple of Mountain Dulcimer groups and have started to amass a good sized collection of dulcimers which I play and show at various venues. Most all modern dulcimers are economically soft cased now with only one or two generic sized hard cases available. That's when I turned to Amazon.com and found SKB 2SKB-5020W ATA Double Golf Travel Case. It holds my present collection of eight in their existing cases and makes them shippable and transportable. Also it's a convenient way to store my collection at home. This case can provide protection to dulcimers, golf clubs, and......?

We purchased this product to take 2 abbreviated sets of clubs (in very light travel bags) on vacation. We had to pay oversize charges; that was OK, though, we expected that. When we picked up the case at the baggage claim area, finding that one side of the handle (on the top of the case) had snapped on its first trip was not OK. The snapped handle prevented us being able to use the wheels, and every other time we had to transport this case on the vacation was not pleasant.

This case would be fine if you were the only one to handle it, but if you are taking it through the airline system, beware. We are returning the case.
