A golf bag adapted to function as a shoulder carrier for a set of golf clubs or as a locked travel case therefor suitable for air transport. The bag, which is molded of rigid plastic material, has a generally cylindrical form closed at either end, the bag being composed of a semi-cylindrical chest section and a semi-cylindrical lid section hinged thereto. The lid section is divided into a major lid which extends from the bottom end of the bag to an upper level below the top end, and a minor lid which extends from the upper level to the top end whereby when the minor lid is swung open, the heads of the golf clubs whose long handles rest on the bottom of the bag are then accessible for removal. The major and minor lids are provided with raised edge borders which, when the lids are closed, overlie corresponding edges of the chest section. The longitudinal course on the borders of the lids have releasable clamps mounted thereon adapted to engage complementary anchor hooks on the chest section. Only the clamp on the minor lid is lockable so that it cannot then be released. The circumferential course on the edge border at the lower end of the minor lid overlies the adjacent border course on the major lid, so that when the minor lid is locked, this effectively acts to lock the major lid which cannot be swung open without first unlocking the minor lid.
