As a woman golfer, whether you are a beginner or an advanced player, it can be a bit overwhelming to choose a new golf club set that is right for you. It is certainly an important decision and is also a big investment; you want to be sure they are the perfect fit for you and your game. Although there are more options in the market for men’s golf club sets, brands have fortunately been expanding their collections to include more options for women golfers as well. 

There are several factors you will want to consider when looking at clubs including grip and feel, the actual clubs that the set includes, style, and of course price. Although it may be tempting to choose a set based upon how it looks, or simply for the brand name, it is extremely important that you make an informed decision and know what you’re looking for in a new set. We have reviewed numerous women’s golf club sets on the market and have narrowed down our top picks for the best women’s golf clubs in 2020. 

Short on Time? Here’s Our Top Pick for the Best Women’s Golf Clubs: Callaway Strata Ultimate 16 Piece Set

What to Consider Before you Buy

Club Selection and What’s Included

One of the most important factors when choosing your golf set, is the actual golf clubs that are included. Typical club sets come with anywhere between 11-16 pieces including a Driver, Fairway Woods, Irons, Hybrids, Pitching Wedge, Sand Wedge, and a Putter. 

If you are a beginner golfer and just testing the waters of the game, an 11 piece set may be just fine for you, as you probably don’t need every possible club included in more advanced sets. On the other hand, if you have been playing golf for some time and really want to hone in on your skills to improve distance and accuracy, a club set with a wider array of Irons, Hybrids, and Fairway Woods will be more of an attractive option for you. 

You should always keep in mind that whatever clubs are not included in your club set, you may want to purchase separately down the line. Typically this option adds up to more money than if you initially bought a complete set with more clubs. Some golf club sets, for instance, do not include a sand wedge. Take time to look through each of the clubs that are included in the set and see if the difference between an 11 piece set and a 14 or 16 piece set would be worth the additional price for you. 

All the golf club sets we reviewed come with a golf bag. When looking at the golf bag, make sure you evaluate storage, and whether it’s a carry or cart bag. Cart bags are meant to be put onto either a push cart or an electric golf cart, and are not easy to carry around. On the other hand, carry bags are versatile and can be carried easily, or added to either cart type. 

Grip and Feel

Nothing is worse than getting a set of clubs because you think they look beautiful, and then realizing on your first swing at the course that they are just a bit too heavy for you or the grip of the club is slightly too big in your hands. When reviewing our top picks, this was a key feature that we looked for. The clubs should feel lightweight and easy to swing, while the grip should be comfortable in your hands when you are swinging. Women’s golf clubs tend to have smaller grips than men’s clubs and are shorter in height. Men’s golf clubs are much heavier than women’s clubs, and for that reason we don’t recommend using a set of mens golf clubs. 

Your Personal Skill Level 

If you are new to the game of golf and are looking for a beginner set, you may not feel comfortable spending almost a thousand dollars. On the other hand, if you have been playing golf for years and are ready to upgrade to a more advanced set of clubs, you may be looking to make more of an investment. As a beginner, we would recommend a set that has the basics – you need a good lightweight driver that allows you to swing faster and is more forgiving, a few good irons, maybe one or two woods, a pitching wedge, and a putter. If you are advanced, you may be looking for a club set with all the bells and whistles and the best quality. 

Price 

This goes without saying, but price is of course a huge factor when picking out a new set of golf clubs. Golf club sets can range from around $180 – $2,000 or more depending on the brand and individual clubs. If this is your very first set, you may want to stay away from the $1,200 golf set unless you are extremely serious about getting into the sport and see yourself wanting to play often and take the game seriously. There are great beginner golf club sets that we have included in this article that are in the $200-$400 range. You do need to remember when choosing a set however, that you get what you pay for. The quality on the thousand dollar set will be much better than the $200 set. 

Style 

We know you have to look good to feel good, and that definitely applies on the golf course too! It’s fun to have a great looking club set that you are proud of. Loving the set of golf clubs you’re playing with inspires confidence when you stand over the ball. Fortunately, all of the sets that we have included in our top picks are stylish (we hope you agree) and many are available in different colors. 

It is also important for the golf bag to have pockets for storage, but not look too bulky like you are heading out to play on a PGA tour. You’ll need to store your golf balls, tees, gloves, maybe a snack or two… so pockets and storage are also important to consider.
