Golf is a challenging game, even for those who’ve been playing for years, but it can be especially tough for newcomers. For women just starting out it is vital to ensure they have the best women’s golf clubs suited to their swing and ability.
The right clubs should make the game easier and more enjoyable, but the wrong ones will make it harder. That’s where a women’s golf club set comes in. These sets are designed to offer maximum forgiveness and playability. They typically feature lightweight graphite shafts, larger clubheads, low and deep weighting to help get the ball airborne and generous sweet spots for more consistent strikes.
There are plenty of great-value sets on the market and we’ve tested many of them extensively on the golf course over several rounds to identify the best performers.
Based on our testing, the selections below represent the top women’s golf club sets available right now. However, for more experienced or skilled players, a full package set might not be the best option. In that case, we’d recommend focusing on individual clubs, so be sure to check out our dedicated guides to the best golf drivers for women, best golf irons for women, and best women's putters.

Strata Ultimate Titanium Women’s Set
Featuring everything a beginner golfer could need, this Strata package set is a real favourite of mine. Much like the men's Strata set, it delivers exceptional value for money. The set includes a 12° driver, fairway wood, 4 and 5 hybrids, 6–9 irons, pitching wedge, sand wedge and a putter - all housed in a durable, high-performing stand bag with plenty of storage for your essentials.
Now, while it doesn’t quite offer the same level of technology as the Ping G Le3 and TaylorMade Kalea Premier clubs, the Strata more than holds its own when it comes to looks, playability and overall value. During testing, I found these clubs made the game noticeably easier as they are incredibly forgiving, easy to hit and inspire plenty of confidence at address.
So what stood out most? The oversized driver, 3-wood and cavity-back irons all produced a strong, high flight with plenty of distance and power. Around the greens the alignment aid on the blade-style putter proved genuinely helpful, improving consistency on short putts.
In short, when it comes to combining quality performance with great value, the Strata is one of the best golf sets for beginners on the market. It’s also available in three configurations; an 11-piece, a 14-piece and the Ultimate model tested here.

Callaway has long been known for producing some of the best golf clubs on the market, and the Reva 11-piece set more than lives up to that reputation. The set includes a driver, 3-wood, 5 & 6 hybrids, 7–9 irons, pitching wedge, sand wedge and a putter. All are housed in a premium-quality bag which available in several color options depending on which Reva configuration you choose.
In terms of performance, the clubs feel effortless to swing and produce a high, powerful launch with impressive distance. What really sets this set apart though, is the putter. It's a fang-style design that incorporates Callaway’s Stroke Lab technology to enhance tempo and consistency. This premium inclusion elevates the entire package and made it an obvious addition to our list.
Another great aspect of the Reva range is flexibility. You can also buy individual Reva clubs, such as the Callaway Big Bertha Reva Women's driver and even Callaway Reva golf balls to complement your setup.
Finally, it’s the little details that cement this as an ultra-premium option: soft, tacky grips that feel luxurious and comfortable, lightweight construction that promotes forgiveness and club designs that inspire confidence at address.

Cleveland Bloom Ladies Package Set
As the game of golf continues to grow, Cleveland Golf has created the Bloom Ladies Package Set specifically to welcome new players to the sport. The set includes a driver, 5-wood, hybrid, 7–sand wedge and a putter. This makes it an ideal foundation for beginners building their first golf setup. It also comes with a stylish cart golf bag featuring a detachable pouch and an eye-catching black and pink colour scheme that I found particularly appealing.
One of the biggest challenges for beginners is getting the ball airborne, but this set makes that effortless. During testing, I found the clubs incredibly easy to launch, aided considerably by the 14° driver and deep-faced 5-wood. The hybrid was a real standout too, delivering consistent high flights and excellent feedback from a variety of lies and slopes. The cavity-back irons and large sweet spots provide plenty of forgiveness, while the 56° sand wedge impressed both from bunkers and around the greens.
A mallet-style putter completes the set. It has been designed to offer stability and forgiveness for smooth, consistent rolls.

Best looking
Wilson Magnolia Ladies Set
With decades of experience, Wilson is one of the most trusted names in golf and it shows in their ability to create affordable yet high-quality clubs and package sets. The Magnolia set, which I’ve chosen as the best-looking option in this guide, includes everything a golfer needs, all housed in a stylish bag that really enhances its overall appeal.
The set features a driver, 3-wood, 4, 5, and 6 hybrids, 7–sand wedge irons and a putterso it offers superb value for money. The oversized driver head and generous loft make launching the ball effortless, while the large clubhead profiles on the irons deliver a forgiving strike and a confidence-boosting look at address. The standout for me, though, was the bespoke wedge which is a rare inclusion in a package set. It proved to be incredibly versatile around the greens and in bunkers, allowing for a variety of shot types when scrambling.
Across the board, the Magnolia clubs feel consistent and look fantastic. The hybrids add versatility, especially from the rough, while the mallet-shaped putter features a bold alignment aid that makes lining up and starting putts on target that much easier. All in all this is an excellent, well-rounded effort from Wilson that delivers style, forgiveness and great performance for a more than reasonable price.

Ram Golf Accubar Plus Ladies Set
Finding real value in today’s golf club market can be tricky, which is why the Accubar Plus Ladies Golf Set strikes such a nice balance, offering quality performance at an affordable price.
The set includes a driver, fairway wood, 4 and 5 hybrids, 6–sand wedge irons and a putter, and they come in a stylish bag complemented by green and silver headcovers that tie the look together beautifully. Considering the cost the overall quality is very impressive.
Of course, the driver won’t compete with the best drivers in terms of advanced technology, but then that’s not what beginners need. What matters most at this stage is easy launch and forgiveness, and this driver delivers both in abundance. In testing, I found it to be an excellent performer for newcomers to the game, helping produce confidence-boosting drives. The rest of the clubs follow suit, helping players get the ball airborne easily and encouraging consistency from tee to green.
Rounding out the set is a mallet-style putter, similar in shape to some of the models featured in our guide to the best beginner putters, providing stability and alignment support on the greens.
Overall, the Accubar Plus is a fantastic entry-level set for women starting their golf journey. However, players with more experience may find themselves outgrowing it relatively quickly as this set is clearly designed with beginners in mind.

How we test golf sets
Golf club sets are no exception to our rigorous testing ethos and methodology. We test each set thoroughly out on the course and across multiple rounds to see how they perform in real-world conditions and on different types of layouts. Only by using every club both on the course and at the range can we truly assess build quality, playability and overall performance.
What sets our testing apart is simple; we’re golfers ourselves, writing reviews for real, everyday golfers. No manufacturer can “buy” a positive review from us, so if we say something is good it’s because it genuinely impressed us. And if something doesn’t quite hit the mark, we’ll be honest and explain exactly why. Fortunately, the standard of modern golf equipment is so high that we don’t have to deliver bad news very often.
As mentioned earlier, women’s club testing at Golf Monthly is led by our Women’s Editor, Alison Root, who brings decades of golfing experience and equipment expertise. She’s supported by Carly Cummins, another highly respected golf writer with over 20 years of experience and an exceptional understanding of golf gear.
Together, Alison and Carly put every women’s set through a thorough, real-world testing process; on the course, on the range and anywhere a golfer would typically use their clubs. By making a point of using every club in the bag, they can accurately gauge performance across the full set, identifying which clubs stand out and which, if any, fall short.
Testing these sets in their day-to-day golf routines also helps them assess how practical and user-friendly the clubs are for regular play because the best sets don’t just perform well on paper, they make life easier out on the course.
How to choose a golf set
What comes in the set
One of the great things about golf is the flexibility. You can buy clubs individually or as a full set, but if you’re opting for a complete package, make sure it includes everything you need. Check whether it covers all the essential clubs, whether it comes with a golf bag and if that bag is of decent quality.
For beginners the goal is to have a solid foundation to start with, while leaving room to grow. Over time, as your game improves, you can gradually replace or add clubs to tailor your setup. Buying a set gives you that flexibility to upgrade piece by piece as your skill level progresses.
Quality
A common misconception about package sets is that they’re all low quality but that’s certainly not the case with the ones featured in our guide. Many cheaper sets sold in generic sports stores lack durability and performance, so it’s worth sticking to trusted brands that specialise in golf equipment, such as Wilson, Callaway and TaylorMade for example.
That said, in our experience one area where quality can vary is the putter. Even if it’s decent, it might not suit your eye or your stroke, so it is usually worth investing in a separate one that feels just right.
Forgiveness
Even experienced golfers crave forgiveness because golf is hard and no one hits the centre of the face every time. For beginners, forgiveness is obviously even more important. In fact, it's the most important factor. So look for clubs with larger heads and generous sweet spots that help reduce the punishment from off-centre hits. These design features can make a huge difference to early confidence and consistency.
Budget
Golf sets come in a wide range of price points so decide how much you’re willing to spend before you start shopping. Whether you’re on a tight budget or ready to invest a little more, there’s a package set out there to suit both your needs and your wallet.

FAQs
What clubs are in a women's golf set?
This will naturally vary depending on the brand and the size of the set, but most women’s golf sets typically include a couple of woods, several irons, one or two wedges and a putter. Many sets also feature a hybrid, which is particularly helpful for beginners and higher-handicap players as hybrids are generally much easier to launch than mid or long irons.
What clubs should a beginner player buy?
Beginner players should look to purchase more forgiving golf clubs that help them get the ball up into the air. When buying irons particularly, you'll want to avoid buying forged or blade irons that are less forgiving and harder to use.
Do you get a putter in a women's golf set?
Generally, yes. Most golf sets do include a putter as part of the package. However, putters are highly personal clubs and what feels right for one player might not suit another. Mallet-style putters are typically more forgiving and tend to suit beginners better, while some sets include a traditional blade design.
Chances are, you’ll end up changing your putter fairly early on as you discover your preferences, but the one included in your starter set will do the job to get you going. It’s also worth paying close attention to the lofts of any wedges and hybrids included in any set you’re considering as these can make a big difference to how well the clubs cover your distance gaps and overall performance on the course.
