GoSports 4x2 Solid Wood Premium Cornhole Set is the only one of the two with a published score (4.2); GoSports 3x2 Premium Wood Cornhole Set has none, so this is not a close call so much as an unmeasured one. GoSports 4x2 Solid Wood Premium Cornhole Set is best for: Backyard players who want regulation 4 x 2 ft wood boards with bags and a case included, and who do not need tournament-weight boards. Read the strengths below before deciding.

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

Higher ratedRanked #2 in Best Cornhole Sets

GoSports 4x2 Solid Wood Premium Cornhole Set

4.2

2 sourcesall derived$139.99as of Oct 15

The regulation-size wood set that Reviewed tested with a family and gave a full recommendation, and that Wirecutter names as its cheaper alternative to a pro board. Reviewed found the boards smooth, well-lacquered and sturdy, and Wirecutter reports its set held up through a year of use. The trade-offs the two outlets describe are light boards with a single crossbeam and basic single-sided bags.

Strengths

— Reviewed found the boards smooth around the edges, well-lacquered and durable, with no areas where a bag might snag
— Water beaded off the lacquer after Reviewed left the boards out under sprinklers overnight
— Wirecutter reports that after a year of use its set held up to cross-country shipping, two moves and several backyard games

Watch-outs

— Wirecutter notes the boards weigh less than 25 pounds and have one crossbeam, which can cause a bit of wiggle on energetic, arcing throws
— The included bags are single-sided; Reviewed says the pros it spoke to recommend dual-sided bags, and Wirecutter's test panel rated these in the middle of the pack
— Reviewed calls the carrying bag a pretty flimsy nylon and worries about its longevity

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.

How they stack up

GoSports 3x2 Premium Wood Cornhole Set

This is the only set on the page that is not regulation size: its boards are 36 by 24 inches, where the GoSports 4x2 Solid Wood Premium, the AllCornhole ACL Comp and the Slick Woody's All Weather boards are all 48 by 24 inches. It is also the only entry with no review score.

GoSports 4x2 Solid Wood Premium Cornhole Set

It costs $139.99 against $299.99 for the AllCornhole ACL Comp boards, which Wirecutter prefers for their two crossbeams and heavier build, and unlike those boards this set's listing includes eight bags and a carrying case. Slick Woody's All Weather boards, $399.00 with bags, are the option for leaving a set outdoors; Reviewed found wet bags left water marks on this set's lacquer.
