Best Women's Golf Sets 2024
Here we take a look at some of the best women's golf sets currently on the market
Golf is hard, even for those who have been playing for a while. However, it is especially difficult for those new to the game, especially for women just starting out as one of the first things they need to think about is making sure they get the best women's golf clubs suited to them.
These clubs should make the game easier rather than harder and make the experience more enjoyable. That's where a golf club set comes in. They are designed for the maximum amount of help, as they will generally consist of clubs that are manufactured with a lightweight graphite shaft, large heads, low and deep weighting to make them easy to flight and a face with a large sweet spot.
There are many excellent value sets on the market and we have put a number of them to the test out on the golf course, over several rounds, to see which ones are the best.
In our well considered view, the selections below are the top models on the market currently but, for the more experienced and skilled women golfers, package sets might not be the way to go and you should narrow your focus and take a look at our guides on the best golf drivers for women, best golf irons for women, and best women's putters.

Featuring everything a beginner golfer needs, this package set from Strata is a real favorite of ours here at Golf Monthly. Like the men's Strata set, you get a lot for your money, with this set including a 12° driver, fairway wood, 4 and 5 hybrid, 6-9 iron, PW, SW and a putter, as well as a highly durable and strongly performing stand bag which has plenty of room for all the essentials.
While the clubs in this set are not packed with as much technology as you will find in premium ranges, such as Ping G Le3 and TaylorMade Kalea Premier, they do look nice and you will have no complaints about their performance. In testing, crucially, these clubs made the game easier as they were really easy-to-hit and looked very confidence-inspiring.
So, what in particular performed well? To begin with, we noted that the big-headed driver, the 3-wood, and the cavity back irons all allowed us to flight the ball nicely, whilst also providing a generous amount of power and delivering excellent distance. What's more, on the greens, we found that the alignment aid on the blade-style putter came in useful so, when it comes to striking the right balance between quality in performance and value for money, we would say this is easily one of the best golf sets for beginners on the market.

Callaway is a brand with a long-established reputation for making some of the best clubs on the market, and the Reva 11-piece set certainly lives up to that, as you get a driver, 3-wood, 5 and 6 hybrids, 7-9 irons, pitching and sand wedges plus a putter. The clubs are all housed in a high-quality bag, which helps women to effortlessly enjoy the first steps of their golfing journey.
In terms of performance, we found the clubs were effortless to swing and they delivered a high-launch with noticeable power and distance, something that is a common theme throughout the numerous sets available. However, where this model stood out was within the putter, as the fang-shape design features Stroke Lab technology to help with tempo and consistency. Personally, we felt this premium putter is a contributing factor for Reva being one of the best women’s golf sets around.
One other aspect is that you can also buy individual Reva clubs, like the Callaway Big Bertha Reva Women's driver, and even Callaway Reva golf balls. Finally, one last reason as to why this secured the ultra premium tag, is because of the little touches, such as the soft, tacky grips that provided comfort and added to the overall ease of use. Where this will appeal to women is that these are lightweight clubs with a focus on forgiveness. They are designed in such a way to allow women to feel they cannot miss the center of the club face, with the large circular focal point on the driver, the oversized heads of the hybrids and the forgiving large cavity back irons really promoting confidence at address.

With the game of golf continuing to grow, Cleveland Golf has designed this ladies package to target new players joining the game. The Bloom set comes with a driver, 5-wood, hybrid, 7-SW and a putter, providing a good starting block for newcomers to build their first golf setup. In addition to the clubs, you get a smart cart golf bag with a detachable pouch that highlights the standout black/pink color scheme.
One of the main struggles beginners have is getting the ball airborne – this set makes that part easy. In testing we found these clubs were easy to launch, maybe unsurprising given the 14-degree loft on the driver and the deep face on the 5 wood. We were particularly impressed by the hybrid that gave us great feedback and a consistently high ball flight from a range of different lies and slopes. The set gives players significant forgiveness through the cavity back irons and the big sweet spot, while the 56-degree sand wedge performed well out of bunkers and around the green.
A mallet-shaped putter, a club becoming ever more popular on the professional tours, rounds off the set and is aimed to give golfers enough forgiveness to achieve consistent, smooth rolling putts. The Cleveland Bloom set is therefore a wonderful place for someone to begin their trip into the world of golf.

Wilson are one of the most experienced brands in the game, meaning they know what they’re doing when it comes to affordable clubs and package sets. The Magnolia set is a great looking set of golf clubs that has everything a golfer needs, along with a stylish cart or carry bag that really elevates the aesthetic.
The set comes with a driver, 3 wood, 4,5 and 6 hybrid, 7-SW irons and a putter, presenting excellent value for money. The oversized head and generous loft on the driver means getting the ball in the air won’t be an issue, while the head size on the irons provides a big sweet spot and nice levels of forgiveness.
We loved the bespoke wedge in testing – a rare find in package sets. It was versatile around the greens and in bunkers and allows for a range of different shots to be hit when scrambling. The clubs a consistent and look great, an important part of clubs in the modern era. The hybrids provide more versatility, particularly from the rough, and the mallet-shaped putter features a prominent alignment link for help on the green lining up and starting your putts on line on their way to the hole.

As the game continues to grow, so does the price of playing it – unfortunately. It’s becoming harder to find good value in the golf club market, so the Accubar Plus Ladies golf set is the perfect happy medium for the golfer looking for a good quality set without the sky high prices.
The clubs are great quality considering the price, with a driver, fairway wood, 4 and 5 hybrid, 6-SW and a putter coming as part of the set. The bag is pretty stylish too, with green/silver headcovers to match the color scheme.
Like all the clubs in this set, the driver cannot compete with the best drivers in the market in terms of technology packed features, but new golfers aren't necessarily looking for that anyway. What beginners need is easy launch and forgiveness, something this driver provides in abundance. Our tester found the driver in this set was a home run for beginner players, while the rest of the bag allows women to easily get the ball in the air and offer good playability for confidence-boosting shots.
Completing the set is a mallet-shaped putter that is a similar shape and design to what you will find in our guide to the best putters for beginner golfers. This set is great for someone taking up the game, but a player with some experience under their belt may have to opt for a different set of clubs given these are targeted at beginners.

Ben Sayers Ladies’ M8 package set is perfect is another wonderful option for a lady beginning their golfing journey, with the value on offer setting it apart from many other sets in this list. You get a 12-club set comprising a driver, 3-wood, 5-wood, 7 cavity backed irons (5-SW) plus a mallet style putter and they come in a fabulous cart bag.
The unique feature of the M8 set is the aerodynamic crown on each clubs which promotes a lower centre of gravity and higher launch, meaning longer distances off the tee coupled with increased forgiveness. The hybrid is workable and easy to hit, while the irons provide great feedback and a generous sweet spot for extra forgiveness and confident ball striking.

The Cobra Women’s Fly-XL Complete Set is designed for female golfers who are just starting out or those who have dabbled a little and are now serious enough to want to invest in their first set to help them improve further. The eye-catching cart bag is arguably the best golf bag that comes with any of these sets and provides ample storage, although the 14-way divider feels unnecessary.
The metal woods come with a graphite shaft which feels like a nice upgrade on common steel shafts, helping players deliver more club head speed to hit the ball further. The driver is designed with a draw-bias to straighten out shots that may slice to the right – a common miss among higher handicap players. The fairway wood and hybrid perform well both on and off the tee, with a solid feedback after turf interaction.
The irons are perimeter weighted which helps add to their forgiveness, while the cavity back encourages high launch and increased distance. The wedges also promote high launch in addition to solid workability around the greens for those tricky recover shots. The traditional blade style putter offers easy alignment to help players line up their putts correctly.

The MacGregor DCT3000 set is another worthy option for female beginner golfers or those starting to improve and who want to purchase their first full set of clubs. An attractive black/aqua cart bag includes a 460cc titanium driver with a 13° loft for optimal launch as well as a high MOI for better stability at impact and increased forgiveness.
Along with the big-headed driver, the set comes with a fairway wood, two hybrids, iron from 6-SW and a mallet shaped putter. The irons continue the oversized head theme, with the perimeter weighting encouraging faster ball speeds for increased distance without compromising in forgiveness for help with those shots that don’t find the centre of the club face. Like with all good club sets for beginners, the putter has an easy alignment aid to help line up and knock in those putts on the greens.
How we test golf sets
Golf club sets are no exception when it comes to our testing ethos and methodology. We put sets to the test out on the course and over a number of rounds to see how they perform on different courses and in varying conditions. It is only through using each club out on the course and at the range that you can get an idea of how well something is made and how it performs.
What sets our testing out from the rest is that we are all golfers, making reviews about golf equipment for the everyday golfer. No manufacturer can 'buy' a good review. If we say something is good - it's because it is! If we say something isn't that great, we'll tell you exactly why, but thankfully the quality of golf equipment is sky-high in the modern day so we don't have to resort to this too often.
How to choose a golf set
If you want to get an entire set of clubs then there are some crucial factors to be aware of before purchasing. We have given some advice below.
What comes in the set
The great thing about golf is if you want to buy single golf clubs for your bag you can, but you can also get entire sets with one purchase too. When doing the latter, you want to be sure all your bases are covered – are the clubs you want included in the set? Does it come with a golf bag, and is it any good? When buying a beginner set, the hope is that within a few years your game will have improved enough that you will be ready to take that next step up in equipment from the more specialized golf clubs – buying a set lets you do this gradually, adding to your golf bag over time to fill in the missing pieces and improve where is needed.
Quality
A misconception with golf sets is that they aren’t the best quality – this can be true, but not with the sets we have mentioned here in our review. If you head down to your generic high street sports store, chances are they’ll be selling some relatively poor beginner sets. Therefore, it’s worth going for trusted brands that know what they’re doing, not the one making clubs for the sake of it! The prevalence of Wilson, Callaway and TaylorMade in this area is a case in point. Again though, putters especially tend to not be the highest quality and even if they are, they may not suit your eye or your putting stroke, so that might be the one area where you need to make a seperate investment.
Forgiveness
Even the low handicap players are chasing forgiveness – golf is hard at the end of the day. Not every shot will find the sweet spot in the middle of the clubface, so for beginners it’s crucial to find a set that set you up for success with adequate forgiveness. Beginner clubs often have bigger heads with greater sweet spots to counter for those off-center strikes. Keep this in mind when purchasing your first set.
Budget
Obviously there are different sets at different price points so it is worth thinking about whether you want to spend more or less here.
FAQs
What clubs are in a women's golf set?
This will tend to vary on the brand and the size of the set of course, but we have found most women's sets come with a couple of woods, several irons, one or two wedges and a putter. Many will also come with a hybrid of some kind as well, which is especially useful as for beginner golfers and higher handicap players they are much easier to get airborne than a mid-long iron.
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 blade or forged 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 should include a putter in their package. However, putters are very much about personal preference. Mallet putters tend to be more forgiving and better suited to new golfers, but some sets will come with a blade style putter. The likelihood is that you will change your putter fairly quickly, but at least the set you buy will have one to get you started until you figure out what your preference is. You may also want to pay attention to the wedges included and the lofts on the hybrids that are included in any package you're hoping to purchase!
