The club holder has a plurality of retainers disposed about its inner periphery for releasably securing about the shafts of golf clubs. The holder has an enclosed channel for threadably receiving the strap when the holder is in the open end of the golf bag, the strap cooperating with the channel to prevent the holder from being withdrawn from the golf bag. The holder may be unitarily molded or be a longitudinal strip with ends that are securable together to provide closure. Retainers may either be integral or releasably securable to a base portion. The base portion may have a second channel for releasably securing the retainers. The invention further comprises a base insert, positionable in the bottom of a golf bag, having a crowned center portion, a peripheral outer lip and a groove disposed therebetween for receiving the grip of a golf club. The retainers and the groove cooperate to maintain the shafts of golf clubs in an ordered, generally parallel relation with respect to one another.
