For your golf bag transporting needs, I recommend the Thule Motion XT Rooftop Box, part # TH629706 in Black, and part # TH629707 for Titan Silver.
This roof box measures 77 long, 36 inches wide and 17 inches tall, giving you plenty of room for two average sized golf bags, plus a little extra room to fit them next to each other and store a little extra gear like shoes and carts if you need to. This box opens on both sides and has assist technology built in to make it easier to open.
Additionally, it includes Thule's One Key system, letting you key alike all of your Thule accessories to a single key. Let me know if you'd like to do this and I can recommend the correct part numbers.
Before purchasing, you want to take a few measurements to ensure the fit of the box to your vehicle. If you are able to adjust your crossbars, move them as far forward as you can. First, measure the distance from the center of the front bar to the center of the rear bar. This will give you the spread. The Motion XT works with spreads between 23-5/8 inches and 36-7/8 inches.
Then measure from the center of the front crossbar to the line where your hatch meets your roof. This gives you your hatch clearance. For the Motion XT, this needs to be at least 47-1/2 inches to allow use of the rear hatch with the box installed.
I did contact Thule and they noted that the Motion XL is a valid fit for the 2017 Nissan Murano, but it never hurts to double check.
I've included video of the Thule Motion XT so you can get a better idea of its features.
