Best Women's Golf Bags 2024

When women step out on the course, they want one of the best golf bags for them. Firstly, we think it must be a comfortable companion in a style and color that suits them and with the potential to organize equipment so they know exactly where everything is for quick access.

If you carry your clubs, then the weight of the bag and how comfortably it sits on your back is an important consideration. Whereas a cart bag must be easy to lift and fit securely on your trolley without any twisting. 

Women might want to chop and change between seasons and some bags are dual purpose, designed to carry or use on a cart. As such, we recommend also checking out our posts on the best lightweight golf bags and the best golf trolley bags. 

You should also consider the ease of accessibility to your clubs and whether the amount of storage is sufficient. The good news is that many of the latest bags have waterproof features to protect your gear from wet weather and come with a matching rain hood as standard. 

At Golf Monthly we have tested a lot of golf bags out on the golf course to see just how they perform in relation to all of the above factors. The result is this guide which is a collation of all of our favorite models.

The Quick List

Best Women's Golf Bags

Top pick

The Titleist Players 5 StaDry Stand Bag is one of the best Titleist golf bags on the market, with the brand not deviating too far from the DNA that made it resonate with so many golfers worldwide.

Adding a new 5-way top divider, which helps both club organization and accessibility, the bag reeks class and simplicity, with new high quality zippers and a horseshoe-style tee pocket making way for four color options that will appeal to a wide range of tastes. (We would not be surprised to see more on the horizon either)

Along with the aesthetics, the bag has plenty of practical features, including a Sharpie holder, two external lined cooler pouches to store your beverages and a spacious golf ball pocket. These all combine to produce a carrying experience that was close to faultless. Arguably, the stand-out feature, within our testing, was the straps, which didn't twist or tangle throughout the 10 rounds we used the bag for.

Most lightweight

Another top-notch lightweight model is the Big Max Feather, which, as the name suggests, is as light as a feather at just 1.4kg, which is ideal for those women wanting to carry out on the course. Not only that, but we thought it looked good and offered a degree of simplicity with the five-way divider. 

Importantly, the stand is solid and does what it's supposed to and is easy to deploy on grounding, with the legs not drooping down while walking, which is a major pet peeve of ours. Admittedly the strap can be difficult to adjust but this is a minor complaint really, whereas the storage and pockets available really make this a good bag to consider. The integrated cooler pocket in particular was a nice touch.

Admittedly it is only water-repellent however we do like the array of colors available meaning there is a model to suit all styles, for both men and women.

Best waterproofing

For women that want the best of both worlds in a bag, one that can be carried or used on a trolley, then we think the HydroFlex is a great option and one of the best golf bags on the market.

It is unbelievably lightweight at a mere 2.2kg and made in a waterproof fabric with thermo sealed and heat-welded seams to protect gear from the elements. Along with the lightweight feel, there are also five full-length dividers that keep clubs adequately organized.

We see storage space in the five spacious pockets, which provide ample room for golfing accessories, as well as a beverage pouch and internal umbrella sleeve. There is also the quick-release, four-point, fully adjustable carry strap that provides ultimate comfort when carrying, or a trolley can take the strain thanks to the compatible Easilock base system.

Best looking

The Mizuno K1-LO is designed to help you traverse the course in some of the harshest weather conditions while staying bone dry. The bag, while being suited to summer months, can withstand heavy rain and will easily hold all 14 clubs too. Its versatiliity makes it one of the best lightweight golf stand bags on the market. Visually, this bag is excellent. We tested it in the blue and white colorway and it offers up a premium look that many golfers will enjoy. 

The K1-LO comes in five different colorways that we think will appeal to many different kinds of golfers. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience on offer here, with the high-density foam shoulder straps on this bag making it a joy to carry. In fact, it is one of the best and lightest stand bags on the market. 

There is plenty of storage space on offer here too, with the bag coming with nine pockets including a full-length apparel pocket and fur-lined valuables pocket that are great additions. The bag also boasts a velcro glove patch that is great for any one who takes their glove off to putt. Lastly it comes with a five-way top cuff that can carry all 14 of your golf clubs. The legs are lightweight and sturdy and helped this bag stand up on a pretty windy testing day on the golf course.

Best color choice

Weighing under 3lbs, the Callaway Hyperlite Zero is one of the lightest stand bags we have tested. Some of the weight saving comes from the fancy carbon fibre legs, which are like a pair of graphite shafts in their appearance. Strong and stable, with wide angular feet that enable the bag to stand up, even when placed on a slight slope, the Hyperlite has a very clever strap system that’s self-balancing. 

What's more, a central circular swivel device between the double straps basically adjusts to keep the bag straight on your back as you walk, so it doesn’t tilt and your clubs can’t fall out. Not only was this highly practical but it was great to not have to mess about adjusting the strap once we found our optimal position. 

There are seven pockets and it is also worth mentioning that although the material is showerproof so that rain water will run off, it’s not going to keep your clubs bone dry on a persistent rainy day, so make sure you carry your umbrella (using the sleeve down the side).

Best looking cart bag

Sophisticated, elegant and practical. Just three words out of many we could use to describe the TaylorMade Kalea Premier cart bag, a model that is one of the best on the market.

If you are the type of person who cares as much about the look of their golf bag as the performance then you'll love this stylish bag. It's made from a heathered nylon, with the waterproof protection coming from the fabric.

What's more, there's a 14-way divider that helps club organization, whilst the lightweight design is easy to lift in and out of the car. There are multiple pockets available, which can store your necessities, with the bag also featuring a soft-line valuables pocket to a thermal-lined cool pocket to keep your drink cold on a warm day.

Best for pockets

Ping’s Traverse cart bag got a redesign a while ago and is now even lighter at just 5.5 pounds. This puts it amongst the lightest cart bags on the market. Featuring a 14-way top to help the organization of your clubs, there are also two putter wells to choose from, depending on where you want to position your putter in the bag.

We think the Traverse also excels from a storage standpoint as it has 13 total pockets, including full-length apparel pockets, a velour-lined valuables pocket, an insulated cooler pocket, and a rangefinder pocket. 

The Traverse’s strap-thru pass also keeps the bag securely on a cart without blocking access to any of the pockets, and there are six new color patterns for golfers to choose from. As a result, it is one of the best Ping golf bags money can buy.

Best light cart bag

There’s an awful lot to love about the Sun Mountain H2NO Lite cart bag, especially if you're a woman looking for a lightweight but spacious option for your cart.

For starters, there’s the fact that this bag is completely waterproof. We noticed how thick the nylon fabric feels - you could say it’s a cross between one of the best waterproof golf jackets and a tent, with a special coating on the surface meaning that rain water literally runs off the surface, making it one of the best waterproof golf bags we've tested in recent times.

At just 5.7lbs when empty, it’s only a little heavier than lifting two bags of sugar - that’s incredibly lightweight. Even after you’ve added your clubs, balls, waterproofs, drink and accessories, it’s more than light enough for even the most fragile lady to lift. Lastly, the fun and fashionable berry color is very catching and there are actually nine vibrant colors to choose from, so you can pick from your favorite color.

Best for storage

Big Max is a brand that offers a wide range of excellent options, but the model which made our 2022 Editors Choice list is the Dri Lite Tour Cart Bag. The zips are fully waterproof, while the rest of the fabric used in construction is water repellent. In testing, we experienced no leaks when we put it through its paces on a wet day and you also get a handy five-year warranty too, which puts the mind at ease. 

It is a very smart design, almost Tour-like, and the space provided would rival the top professional bags as well. Nine large pockets provide more space than we could ever need, but we have no doubt some people will find a way to fill them. 

For a large tour bag weighing in at 5.3lbs, it is surprisingly light, even when holding a full set of clubs. Transporting it is also easy, with two carry handles at the top and a heavy-duty handle at the front making it simple to move from car to cart.

How we test golf bags

When it comes to our process of testing golf bags, to put it simply we get brands to send us gear, or we buy it ourselves, and then we put the bags to the test out on the golf course. Most importantly though, manufacturers cannot pay for a good review because we tell it how we see it.

Every member of the Golf Monthly team are regular golfers and put bags to the test over a number of rounds and conditions.

As far as our methodology goes, if we say we have reviewed a product, that means we have done so properly. We also endeavor to use all the features on the golf bag, for example if the valuables pocket claims to be waterproof, we pour water on it to find out. This comprehensive testing style is not just exclusive to golf bags either, we test using the same ethos and methodology across all golf gear.

How to choose a golf bag

If you are looking for a new golf bag then there are several factors to consider. Let's get into those now.

Bag Type

First things first, what type of golf bag do you want? A stand bag? Or are you after a cart design or a pencil bag? Each type of bag will have positives and negatives so therefore we think it is important you know what type you are after before starting in-depth research. 

Stand bags are built for those who want to carry their clubs around the golf course which means factors like comfort and weight are very important. Stand bags also have to offer waterproofing as well as strength and robustness. The two negatives most associated with stand bags are they require more effort to use, and they usually don't offer as much storage as cart bags.

However, that being said there are several stand bags above that can also be used on golf carts as well so maybe that is a way of killing two birds with one stone.

Cart bags are for those who want to use golf carts on the golf course. If this is you, then you'll likely want a stable model that is not only easy to lift and move around, but also one that sits firmly on your cart. One big advantage we have found is that cart bags also tend to offer ample storage for accessories, apparel, valuables and all the other golf paraphernalia you might need during the round.

The main negative is they are just bulkier and have to be taken off the cart before and after the round, whereas stand bags offer a bit more freedom.

Storage

Once you know the above, storage is the next factor to consider. If you want a lot, then a cart bag may be the way to go because they tend to have larger pockets and also usually require less effort to use so you can store more in them if needed. 

Stand bags usually just house the essentials whereas pencil bags are very limited in this regard. In short, have a think about how much gear you want with you on the course. 

Waterproofing

If you live or golf somewhere that gets a lot of rain then this is a no-brainer really, get a bag that offers protection from the rain. Whereas if you don't, then this factor won't be as important. 

Weight

Across all types of bag, weight is important. Stand bags obviously have to be lightweight because players will be carrying them on their backs and shoulders all day, whilst cart bags should also have a degree of lightness too so they are easy to maneuver on the golf course, and from the car to the cart itself.

Looks

Looking good is also something to consider. Many of the models above have different color designs and brands have clearly tried to create good-looking models so we would recommend scouting around and seeing which models you like the look of. 

Budget

Our final factor to consider is of course price. There are golf bags at every single price point so if you want to go for a premium cart model you can, or if you want a cheap stand bag you can also do that too.
