Abstract: A portable golf ball and club cleaning device that includes an elongated housing having sidewalls forming a chamber therein and a lid hingedly connected to the housing is disclosed. The chamber holds a cleaning medium and a plurality of brushes extend inwardly into the chamber from the sidewalls. An opening is formed between the brushes through which a golf club is adapted to fit. An elongated panel member with a hole and cut-out portions is releasably attached to the interior surface of the lid and acts as a ball holder. In order to clean a ball, the panel member is removed from the lid. A ball is inserted through the hole and cut-out portions and is placed into the opening of the housing so that the ball contacts the cleaning medium. The device also includes a clip for securing the housing to a golf bag or other golf equipment.
