Women always want to look and feel good on and off the golf course to play their best, see our guide on the best 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.
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.

Best Ladies Golf Pants
Why you can trust Golf Monthly
The list
Sizes: XXS-XXL
Colors: 3 (Deep Navy, White Glow, Black)
Fabric: 90% Polyester/10% Elastane
+ Flattering fit
+ Comfortable stretch fabric
- Length won’t suit everyone
These golf pants really live up to their name, representing incredible value, as you can happily wear them every day, on and off the golf course. Made in a lightweight stretch fabric with UPF 40 UV protection and neat stitching, the standout feature is the deep waistband that magically pulls you in for a flattering shape.
Whatever your shape and size, the stretch allows you complete freedom and movement and women will find them extremely comfortable. It was also noticeable how they held their shape over 18 holes. The two open slant pockets at the front and a welt pocket at the back to hold a few accessories are a handy addition. The 7/8th length might not suit everyone, but we believe they will be a hit for many women this season.
Sizes: US 6-16 length 29” or 31”
Colors: Caviar or Black Iris
Fabric: 80% Polyester/20% Elasterell
+ Beautiful Fit and classy feel
+ Great selection of sizes and lengths
- Come up slightly big but not a problem to size down with the stretch
These straight cut slim legged trousers will become a staple in my wardrobe. Beautiful classic fit and flattering silicone gripper waistband that almost moulds to your size and ensures they stay feeling perfect the entire round. They’d look incredible with a navy tailored jacket and heels.
On the course the pockets are deep and perfect for a scorecard or mobile phone. They’d be lightweight enough to wear on a warmer day thanks to the moisture wicking properties of the twill fabric.
Sizes: 6-20
Colors: 2 (Black, Navy)
Fabric: 90% Polyamide/10% Elastane
+ Comfortable material
+ Modern styling
+ Slim leg won’t suit everyone
The Verity trousers from Ping are made in a polyester/elastane blend fabric, which is very lightweight and has a nice soft feel. Available in two colors – black or navy - They provide a flattering fit, although while the fabric is slightly stretchy, they do have a very slim leg, so won't suit everyone.
There is plenty of detail to shout about that adds to the modern styling, including a split hem and belt loops that allow you to accessorize. There are also two angled pockets at the front with a tiny stud underneath, and the two back pockets have a standout silver zip. They are suitable to wear at any time of year and, another big plus point, is that they are easy to care for, crease-resistant, and no ironing!
Sizes: S-XL
Colors: 3 (Dark Blue, Jade Green, Black)
Fabric: 85% performance polyester/15% spandex
+ Snug, comfortable fit
+ Jogger style is striking
+ Great movement and stretch
- Certain colors show every bump
A fantastic pair of cropped, sporty pants that deliver a sleek design on the course that is also very smart. They are snug but comfortable and offer up a jogger style fit that many ladies will enjoy. Sliding them on for the first time, these joggers were supremely comfortable to wear - offering four-way stretch so they fit like a jegging. They hug your legs as a result and deliver great shaping that, goes with anything, making them a very versatile and great to wear pair of trousers.
The leg length is gently cropped and the joggers are finished with cuffed ankles that are complete with a zipper. The athletic touch really sets these bottoms apart from a classic cropped pant with great pockets.
Sizes: XS-2XL
Colors: 2 (Black, Navy Blazer)
Fabric: 90% polyester/10% elastane
+ Very comfortable
+ Stretches to keep their fit
+ Flattering fit
- Side seams could sit more flat
We were very impressed with the fit of these golf trousers. They’re named PWRShape Pants, which sounds very American, but is actually a really great way to describe them. They have the perfect 4-way stretch to allow them to mould and shape to fit pretty much any physique, whether you are tall and lean or short and stocky like me. The Puma PWRShape Pant have the most fabulous flattering fit, that although initially feels quite snug, really does allow you complete swing freedom and flexibility. The really high and wide waistband was another highlight. Not only did it make the trousers look very slimming, hiding any unwanted lumps and bumps, but it felt very comfortable to wear.
Sizes: XS-XL
Colors: 2 (Pink/Red, Lavender/Mint)
Fabric: 92% polyester/8% spandex
+ Lightweight and awesome in warm conditions
+ Feminine and Fun
-The fabric is a touch see through so won’t suit all skintones.
These lightweight cropped trousers don’t necessarily jump off the hanger as a pair I’d wear. However, pulled on they fit like a glove, thanks to the thick midrise waist band. These slim legged pants are really fun and very flattering. A block colored band stretches down each leg and offers a feminine shape. The breathability is off the scale and if you’re looking to protect your skin this Summer these would be a great option. No need to iron thanks to easy care fabric.
These won’t be everyone’s cup of tea but I can see teams wearing these to add a bit of fun into their matches.
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colors: 2 (Black and Grid Clay)
+ Stretchy and extremely flattering
+ Water and stain repellant
- Material doesn’t feel as luxurious as you’d expect for the price.
It’s been a while since I wore kick flares and appreciated the extra curves they deliver. For someone with skinny legs this is plus. The pull on and off design and extra stretch in the material makes them fit beautifully.
The material was surprising. I’d favor other brands over these as there’s a hard wearing feel to the fabric. But don’t let that put you off. Worn on the course in light drizzle these trousers meant I didn’t need to reach for my waterproof bottoms. A huge bonus. They stretch and move with you. I’d say the sizing is a little generous and given their stretch you can afford to size down. Love the pattern on the Grid Clay pair.
Sizes: XXS-XL
Colors: 11
Fabric: 91% nylon/9% spandex
+ Stretchy and extremely flattering
+ Wide waistband helps to create a flattened stomach
- Fastener and zip caught a bit but have loosened as I’ve used these more.
Fantastic, flattering trousers in a striking red. Extremely stretchy material which would flatter all sizes. Available in a staggering 11 colors and XXS all the way through to XL but with the extra stretch you actually need to size down. I will actually go out for dinner in these trousers.
Partly thanks to the fit but also the beautiful piped seams down the pockets and the leg create a fantastic silhouette and a high end feel. Deep rear pockets are good enough to fit your mobile phone in. Water repellant tried and tested. Classy and practical.
Sizes: 32-52
Colors: 6 (Black, Scarlet, Hexagon Red, Majave Desert, Navy, White)
Fabric: 86% polyester/14% elastane
+ Comfortable and shapely fit
+ Choice of colors
- Length might not suit everyone
These capri pants with a zip and button fastening are made in a recycled polyester fabric with four-way stretch. Over 18 holes, we found them to be very soft and comfortable, and they also retained their shape. They are described as having slim legs, but we found the legs to be pretty generous!
The seams of the two front pockets are highlighted by shiny silver studs and there are also two patch-style back pockets, so plenty of options for carrying a few accessories. The length is good, falling just below the calf of our 5ft 5” tester, and the legs have a slit at the openings which add a bit more style. Women will get plenty of wear out of these pants on and off the golf course.
Sizes: 32-48
Colors: 2 (Navy, Violet)
Fabric: 88% polyamide/12% spandex
+ Stretch provides great comfort
+ High waist and handy pockets
- Pattern won’t suit everyone
The stretch on these trousers is great, definitely 4-way as they promise. I thought they were really comfortable, I have a few golf trousers and sometimes the fabric can feel a little bit unpleasant and synthetic leaving you feeling a bit meh on a warm day. These trousers did not. The pattern wouldn’t be something I naturally go for, feels old-style, which is where the fashion trend is going and with the polo it is sweet.
It has a high waist, handy pockets and belt loops, which I like. The only downsides are that the white stains easily, on a course with mud that's tough. I sat on some mud in the buggy and it hasn’t come out after three washes. The zip is a little lightweight and I was flying low a couple of times!
Sizes: 0-16
Colors: 3 (Black/Halo Gray, White/Halo Gray, Navy/Halo Gray)
Fabric: 90% polyester/10% elastane
+ Performance-led comfort
+ Easy-to-wear and pleasing cut
- Not an option if you prefer a fashion fit
Maybe trousers with the word drive in it will encourage my driver that it’s not alone and should show up! These trousers are functionally and perfectly formed, in a sense an every golfing day pair. That doesn't take away from the fact they're a really comfortable pair of trousers, elasticated in the back. A great fit that felt like it was going to move with me.
I really liked the cut of the trousers, the fact it wasn't just stuck to my leg and skinny the whole way down or too baggy, but they were tapered and flattering. Buy this if you want a pair of trousers that you can throw on without much thought. Don’t buy if you prefer fashion fits and like to stand out.
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. 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.
