A trailer hitch mounted carrying apparatus for golf bag pull carts, golf bags, or golf bags mounted on pull carts. A generally cylindrical carrier is mounted to a trailer hitch connection. The cylindrical carrier is rigid and with a slot cut in it. A folded golf bag pull cart may be mounted within the carrier with the wheels and handle outside of the carrier, either with or without a golf bag mounted on the pull cart. Alternatively, a golf bag may be mounted within the carrier. The carrier is equipped with a lockable cover to secure the contents, whether a golf bag filled with clubs or a golf bag and pull cart within the carrier. The carrier may be mounted to either a female trailer hitch on the rear of a vehicle or a bar-type trailer hitch on the rear of a vehicle. The carrier may be equipped with added wheels on the carrier so that the carrier may be utilized for wheeled movement, including towing behind a bicycle.
