Women always want to look and feel good on and off the golf course to play their best (see our guide on the best women's golf clothes). So, when it comes to buying a pair of golf pants/trousers, consider whether the fabric and style has the capability to provide ultimate comfort and a flattering fit. Nowadays, nearly all golf pants are made with some stretch in the fabric to allow for ease of movement and ability to hug you in all the right places for a slimming effect. Also, more brands have acknowledged that women want the option of different leg lengths.

Of course, winter pants are designed with function over fashion in mind and, with technological advances in the construction of the latest fabrics, you can now keep legs warm and dry, making winter golf far more pleasurable.

Women's Golf editor Alison Root and PGA Professional Katie Dawkins run through everything you need to know about women's golf fashion in 2026

Versatility is at the heart of today’s golf fashion, so modern styling, with some feminine touches, means that ladies should feel comfortable wearing the latest trousers almost anywhere. If you find a pair that you really like that fits well, we suggest you buy two pairs!

Below, we take a look at some of the best designs on the market, and if you want to complement your trousers, we recommend checking out our buying guides on the best women's golf shirts and women's golf shoes.

How we test

When it comes to testing the best golf pants our comprehensive methodology revolves around, as you would expect, playing a lot of golf. We feel putting golf products to the test on the golf course, on the range and in practice is the best way to find out how usable and well-designed some pants are.

On that note, we feel it is particularly important to use all golf pants in different conditions, in the rain, in the snow and in the sunshine to ascertain how each performs. We also looked to use pants off the course as well to see how versatile they were in social situations or when wearing them to work. Importantly, every member of the Golf Monthly team is a regular golfer so we put golf pants to the test over a number of rounds. Specifically the women's apparel section is headed up by Alison Root, Golf Monthly's Women's Golf Editor and someone with years of experience testing golf equipment. She is then supported by a pool a freelancer writers.

The final point we should mention is no manufacturer can buy a good review. This is because our testing team tells it how it is and we seek to be as insightful and honest as possible.

How to choose

When it comes to buying golf pants, what are some of the key factors you need to consider? Let's take a look

Size

First things first you should know what size you are in terms of waist and leg. The best way of doing this is to go and try models on or find the best fitting pants you have and see what size they are.

Material

What kind of material do you want your golf pants to be made of and what kind of material do you like the most? Knowing this will narrow your search. Additionally be aware of which materials stretch more because us golfers have to get into different stances and positions on the golf course and a good pair of golf pants will stretch to help.

Color

Out on Tour you will undoubtedly have seen lots of players with different colored pants and more brands are offering us amateurs more pant colors too. Therefore it is just a case of finding the right one for you.

Budget

How much do you want to spend on a pair of golf pants? As you can see above there are models at different price points so have a clear idea of budget before starting your search.

FAQs

What is special about golf pants?

Golf pants are specially designed for the game because they stretch more to allow golfers total freedom of movement not only during the swing but doing everything else on the course as well like lining up a putt or getting into a tricky stance.
