The short answer

AllCornhole ACL Comp 2x4 Cornhole Boards is the only one of the two with a published score (4.5); GoSports 3x2 Premium Wood Cornhole Set has none, so this is not a close call so much as an unmeasured one. AllCornhole ACL Comp 2x4 Cornhole Boards is best for: Regular players who want a regulation, tournament-style board that stays put, and who have somewhere to store two heavy boards. Read the strengths below before deciding.

1 sourceall derived$299.99as of Oct 11

Wirecutter's top cornhole board pick, which it calls the AllCornhole Tournament Series and whose buying links lead to these ACL Comp 2x4 boards. Wirecutter found the birch boards barely budged when bags hit them and that the smooth finish let bags slide without catching. Its two complaints are weight and price: each board weighs more than 25 pounds, and the pair costs about $300.

Strengths
  • — Wirecutter reports the boards barely budged in its tests, while a cheap portable set shook and popped bags back into the air
  • — Wirecutter found the smooth finish does not catch bags, and a logo printed under the finish did not slow them down
  • — Fold-down legs and crossbeams under the deck keep the board from bending or bouncing, per Wirecutter
Watch-outs
  • — Wirecutter calls the boards difficult to store and travel with: 4 by 2 feet and more than 25 pounds each
  • — About $300 for the pair, which Wirecutter flags as expensive for a lawn game

GoSports 3x2 Premium Wood Cornhole Set
Ranked #4 in Best Cornhole Sets
GoSports 3x2 Premium Wood Cornhole Set
Unrated2 sources$88.58as of Oct 15

The GoSports 3x2 Premium Wood is the tailgate-size version of the GoSports wooden set: 36 by 24 inch boards instead of the 48 by 24 inch regulation size, with eight bags and a carrying case. No hands-on review of this size was found, so it is listed without a rating. Reviewed tested the larger GoSports 4x2 set on this page, not this one.

Strengths
  • — 3 by 2 foot boards are easier to carry and store than regulation boards
  • — Listed with a solid pine frame and a 1/2 inch varnished plywood top
  • — Comes with eight bags and a carrying case
Watch-outs
  • — Not regulation size, so it does not play like a 4 by 2 foot league board
  • — No independent hands-on review of this size was found

Derived means the reviewer published no score, so one was inferred from their written verdict. Everything else is a number the publisher printed. How we rank.
