Best Women's Golf Clubs 2024

Did you know that, according to a report produced by golf's governing body, the R&A, in conjunction with Sports Marketing Surveys, 20% of adult golfers on full-length courses in GB&I were female in 2022 compared to 15% in 2019? 

Club manufacturers have responded to the growing number of women playing the sport by offering a greater selection of clubs built specifically for women than ever before. This is amazing, but on the other hand can be fairly daunting for females taking up the game and looking to purchase a set of clubs, or those looking to upgrade equipment to help take their game to the next level.

However, our female contributors are here to help and there are a few things to take into account, such as golfing ability, look and feel, and price. At Golf Monthly our female staff members test a whole range of women's golf clubs from full package sets, to some of the best drivers for women, best women’s irons and best women’s putters. 

So whether you are just starting out in the game or have been playing for years, this guide will undoubtedly help you find a set of clubs that you are looking for and will help you play better golf.

Women's package sets

First up is the Strata Ultimate Women's Set which comprises of a 12° driver, fairway wood, 4 and 5 hybrid, 6-9 iron, PW, SW and a putter, all held together in a tidy stand bag. This 16-piece package set is an all-encompassing offering from a brand that have a rich history producing golf equipment. 

When women are just starting out in golf, they need equipment that is going to make the game as easy as possible, clubs that help them to get the ball airborne from the outset. In testing we found that this is an ideal starter set to do just that, delivering excellent forgiveness and notable distance and accuracy. Aesthetically, they look fantastic, with a glossy chrome finish across the irons and we also like the  bag with purple accents. 

As for the putter, it's a blade styled, and while some beginners may prefer to use a mallet putter, it boasts a very sleek look and handy alignment line on its top line that will help with your accuracy. 

As this set costs a little more than some drivers do alone, there is excellent value to be had here, in what is easily one of the best golf sets for beginners out there. Additionally it is worth noting that Strata make 11 and 14-piece sets, as well as a regular Tour version of the 16-piece set above, all of which come at different price points.

Another top women's set worthy of inclusion in this list is the REVA set from Callaway. This set includes a driver, three wood, 5 and 6 hybrids, 7-9 irons, a pitching and sand wedge and a putter as well as a snazzy cart bag and five headcovers. 

We loved the driver performance, with it providing a high launch and ball flight, along with the powerful feel. The other wood and hybrids continued these performance as well.

The irons are large and cavity-backed, but despite this they felt effortless to swing and lightweight too. They offered good forgiveness on mishits and whilst we would've preferred the inclusion of a specialist wedge in the set, the more lofted clubs in the set do the basics well when it comes to chipping or pitching. 

What makes this one of the best women’s golf sets is that the included putter includes the Stroke Lab shaft. The fang design, coupled with the Stroke Lab technology, is aimed to help you with tempo and consistency and we loved it, especially in the blue finish. Overall this is certainly a set worth considering if you want to make the game seem easier.

The Cleveland Bloom ladies package set is designed for the beginner golfer or for women on their way to taking their game to the next level. This set includes a driver, 5-wood, hybrid, SW-7 iron, putter and a sturdy cart bag.

Coming in at around $600, it is certainly great value for money, with each club providing plenty of loft to help women get the ball airborne. They also have plenty of forgiveness and a confidence inspiring look. 

The irons for example, feature a cavity-back design with a thick sole and a large clubhead, thus allowing women to get the ball in the air as quickly as possible. Completing the set is a mallet-shaped putter, and compared with some of the huge mallet putter heads on the market, this neat design is not too overwhelming and immediately felt comfortable.

The black/pink color scheme is ultra feminine, in particular the bag and matching headcovers, which really stand out. Speaking of the bag, it is an excellent bonus. It has ample pockets, 8 in total, as well as a detachable pouch that is perfect for carrying valuables.

The Wilson Magnolia set is excellent value. Women have a choice of a cart or carry bag to hold a driver, 3-wood, 4, 5, 6 hybrids and a full iron set (7-SW), plus a putter.

A high-lofted driver with an oversized head profile is designed to instill confidence, forgiveness and maximum distance off the tee, whilst the fairway wood and hybrids feature a large sweet spot and low weighting to make shots for women easier to play from a variety of lies. 

The irons are easy to launch due to the oversized heads and clever weighting, and we love the addition of a bespoke sand wedge, which is not something you usually see in a package set but it’s a really great idea to give women more flexibility with their club selection around the greens for those all-important short game shots. An eye-catching mallet-shaped putter completes the set, and its fang-shaped head really makes this feel balanced and assists with a smooth, pendulum stroke.

The Magnolia clubs come in a beautiful blue trolley bag that’s really lightweight to lift in and out of your car boot and onto your trolley.

Women’s drivers

The Ping G Le3 driver is part of the third generation of G Le clubs, and continues to be a popular range for women with a slow to moderate swing speeds. 

Compared with its predecessor, G Le2, advancements in technology means that clever weighting has allowed for a lower and slightly heel side centre of gravity for even greater forgiveness. With a new model comes a new colorway and in our opinion, navy with gold accents is the best yet. It comes with a standard 11.5 degree loft, but this can be adjusted +/- 1.5.

The large clubhead has angled ridges on the crown, which are not just for show, but are there to improve airflow to help deliver faster ball speeds, and they also frame the ball nicely, providing us with confidence at address. 

In testing, while this is a lightweight driver, we found it easy to stay in control of our drives throughout the swing. It was effortless to get the ball off the tee and quickly up in the air with pleasing results and noticeable forgiveness on slight mishits.

TaylorMade's goal with the Kalea range was to produce the absolute best clubs for women across a broad spectrum of playing styles. In fact, TaylorMade ran focus groups across four countries, asking over 15,000 female golfers of varying abilities what they wanted in a driver and even built an advisory panel made up of female PGA professionals. The result, in our opinion, is one of the best drivers TaylorMade has ever built.

Coming in at 12.5 degrees of loft as standard, it features a super lightweight carbon crown and sole, as well as a 22-gram steel back weight to help you launch the ball higher. What's more, it also has TaylorMade's corrective 'Twist Face' to help straighten out your heel and toe mis-hits. 

In testing we thought the light feel and balance of weight is perfect, making it effortlessly easy to swing. The huge head sits boldly behind the ball, looking impossible to miss, whilst we found the launch to be high with a noticeable draw-bias to the flight. We also enjoyed the feel and pleasing impact sound, whilst it is also one of the best looking drivers on the market thanks to the intense dark blue head with a subtle shimmer finish.

One of the best drivers for women the Titleist TSR1 is the latest addition to the Titleist driver family and there is a lot to like here. Visually it looks fantastic, offering a sleek design that can compete with some of the other best releases like the Callaway Paradym X and the Ping G Le3.

The quality and sleek design of the shiny black clubhead, combined with the club's silver shaft, provides an aesthetic that makes this a premium driver. Overall, the club feels comfortably light and weighs 40g less than the TSR2 model, and with a compact appearance behind the ball, this instills confidence.

On testing, we were impressed by the performance it delivered. The aerodynamics felt fantastic and we could feel the speed of the ball off the clubface through impact, accompanied by a pleasant sound. We also saw some excellent carry distances on our drives, especially when compared to our current gamer.

Our final driver pick is the Callaway Big Bertha Reva driver. Like all clubs in the Reva line, this driver is not just a women’s version of a men’s club. Every aspect of Big Bertha technology has been reworked to reflect the findings and provide help where women with slow to moderate swing speeds need it most.

As a result, Callaway has engineered a large clubhead with internal draw bias weighting, and this has been combined with Jailbreak technology. The result? Well in testing there was a solid impact sound which matches good results and needless to say, there is noticeable forgiveness as we got away with mishits.

Additionally we liked how Callaway steered away from styling a female-specific driver in a traditional feminine color, and instead have opted for an easy-on-the eye electric blue and black color scheme.

Women's irons

Like all clubs in Ping’s G Le 3 family, suitable for women with a slow to moderate swing speed, the iron/hybrid combination is designed to give women consistent gapping throughout their bag, with the technology that helps them to generate faster clubhead speed and ultimately greater distance.

Compared with its predecessor, G Le2, for starters, the color scheme has changed to navy with a tad of gold and silver, which we found very attractive. They are also slightly lighter overall with weight nicely distributed to encourage an effortless swing.

In testing, it was the forgiveness of these irons that was most noticeable, you can really get away with off-centre strikes. They deliver plenty of good shots, flying high with generous distance. For women that struggle in sand, the updated design of the sand wedge makes for a real confidence booster.

Perhaps one of the best game improvement irons on the market right now the Mizuno JPX923 Hot Metal HL iron is a fantastic option for women looking for more distance and forgiveness.

Visually, it comes with the same blade length as the Hot Metal iron but with a wider sole for a lower, deeper CG to help get the ball up quickly. The additional loft is clear at address, and we loved how it sat behind the ball, delivering a confidence inspiring look at address. That being said it doesn’t have all the traditional hallmarks of a high-handicap iron like a thick top line and excessive offset, which we liked.

We were very impressed with the carry distances during our time on the range with this club. The Hot Metal HL produces excellent ball flights when struck firmly and well.

When it comes to irons, most women want something that’s lightweight and really easy to use while visually instilling feelings of confidence. The Cobra Air-X women’s irons put great big ticks in these important boxes. Not only are they very lightweight, with weight savings being made in both the head and the grip, but they also feature bespoke ‘ultralite’ women’s 48-gram shaft to give you an iron that is totally effortless to swing. 

What's more, there is a lot of clubhead stability, with the main highlight being the distance on offer. This is down to a large, cavity-back head that is akin to many of the fantastic options you'll find on the best irons for high beginner players.

Women's putters

TaylorMade has put an awful lot of time and investment into designing a brand new Kalea Premier line of clubs for ladies and the Spider Mini putter is the perfect choice for this truly premium set of women's golf clubs. We loved the look of the putter right away, eye-catching and yet not over the top, with the royal blue sole and yellow detailing really standing out.

It has a 15 percent smaller footprint than the standard Spider design so if you want more forgiveness and a larger mallet head, then perhaps look elsewhere. But we still liked how it sits flush to the ground which encouraged us to make a smooth, pendulum rocking action with our arms. The putter is fitted with a simple long white sight line on the crown, which makes alignment easy and obvious.  

From a feel perspective the Spider Mini really performed well. The putter was very responsive thanks to TaylorMade's Pure Roll putter face which features on most of the brand's best putters. The deep grooves really grip the ball, imparting topspin so that you get a very consistent and true forward roll out across even the most uneven putting surface.

This version of the iconic 2-ball putter is designed specifically for women in a shorter length and with a smaller grip. It feels softer and although is a mallet didn't feel cumbersome at all. It is best suited to a golfer with a fairly straight stroke with minimal arc. That being said it does a great job stabilizing a slightly nervy stroke on those shorter putts.

The multi-material Stroke Lab shaft saves 40 grams of weight, which is redistributed to the head and grip end of the putter. This rebalances the putter for improved tempo and consistency in your stroke. A White Hot Microhinge Insert, which is commonly used on all of the best Odyssey putters, provides feel and promotes a pleasing forward roll, alignment is also made easy due to the high contrast silver PVD finish. It is one of the most forgiving and best mallet putters on the market right now.

There are now four putter models in Ping’s G Le3 range as opposed to three and a new design pays tribute to Louise Solheim, known simply as ‘Louise’. It’s a mid-mallet shape, which seems to be a popular choice for a lot of women compared to the traditional blade-style Anser design, as subconsciously women feel more stable over putts with this type of putter in their hands. 

This model has been designed using the same weighting as Ping’s tour-proven Ping DS72 putter, it differs by having a mid-slant hosel and parallel tip shaft, which is best suited to a strong putting stroke.

A putter is a very personal piece of equipment, but in testing we found that the sight line on the cavity floor helped alignment and putts rolled consistently well off the face from various distances. It does have a firm feel, so opt for an alternative putter if you prefer something softer.

How we test

Our testing for golf clubs is built upon a comprehensive process combined with the knowledge and expertise of the Golf Monthly test team. Our Women’s testing staff consists of Carly Frost, Katie Dawkins and Golf Monthly’s Women’s Editor Alison Root. Our team usually attends product launches and then when it comes to our actual testing, we first try clubs in a controlled environment. This usually takes place on an indoor simulator at Foresight Sports, with premium balls and the GCQuad launch monitor.

Next up is outdoor testing, which normally takes place at West Hill Golf Club or any location in which our female staff have travelled to in order to test the product. We think it is vitally important to do both and continue to test the clubs so they have been comprehensively put to the test in different conditions. Our amazing female staff at Golf Monthly all differ in golfing ability, which allows them to deliver accurate insight on product designed for beginners all the way through to the elite amateur and professional game. It should also be mentioned that manufacturers cannot pay for a good review and we make our conclusions from the testing and our experiences. This is because we strive to give the best reviews possible so you can get a greater understanding of the clubs themselves.

How to choose golf clubs

There was a time when golf club manufacturers would simply take a men’s club design ‘pink it’ and ‘shrink it’. By that we mean very little thought was given to a woman’s golf club except to change the color, perhaps the length of the shaft and the weight of the head. Nowadays, the main equipment manufacturers are designing bespoke sets of golf clubs for women in much more detail, covering all areas of the market from the entry level player to the Tour professional. For that reason, we’ve listed a few points below that you consider before purchasing your new equipment.

Price

The first thing to note about any kind of golf club is that they can sometimes be expensive, particularly their irons. If you’re a beginner female golfer, it may be worth opting for something a little cheaper and as your skillset improves investing in a set that will last a longer period of time. While some of the best drivers on the market can come in at some pretty hefty prices, it is always worth looking at purchasing a club that fits into your budget and skill sets.  Make sure to assess what you're buying and your needs as a golfer before you invest and whether you can get another appropriate model elsewhere for cheaper.

Experience Level

Every golf club on the market right now is designed to cater to the needs of a particular player. From drivers to golf sets, each will cater to the needs of that player in their size, shape and technology on offer. For that reason, when buying any golf club you'll need to assess your experience level and aspirations as a player and attribute that to the club you're buying. Experienced women players may benefit from some of the major manufactures' more advanced designs, whereby a beginner lady golfer will benefit from technology and a more forgiving club to help get the ball airborne.

Visuals

While how a golf club looks shouldn’t be an overriding factor, playing with clubs you like the look of certainly will help inspire confidence when hitting a shot. That can be as simple as the shape of the head, or the color of the detailing. Manufacturers tend to change the colorways of their product slightly for the women's variation of each franchise, often based on feedback from their female employees. The mental side of the game shouldn’t be looked past when purchasing golf clubs, although the majority of clubs on the market today look superb.

Clubs you already may have

If you’re an experienced female golfer it may be worth considering how old your clubs are in each area of your bag and what could really use the help of more modern technology. ‘If it isn’t broken, don’t try and fix it’ certainly runs true with golf clubs. Focus more so on clubs that you could add to your bag, such as hybrids of wedges.
