How to Choose Golf Accessories for Women
The Fairway Is Calling—Bring the Right Accessories
Let’s face it: the right gear makes a difference. Whether you're sinking putts on a breezy morning or walking the back nine under the summer sun, golf accessories for women can make your game more enjoyable, more comfortable, and yes—more stylish.
I’ve walked countless courses from Arizona to North Carolina, and I've learned this: a little preparation and the right tools in your bag go a long way—especially when your clubs are cold and your glove's been in the car all night.
So if you're looking to upgrade your golf setup—or maybe you're just getting started—let's break down what accessories actually matter, which ones are worth the splurge, and how to stay sun-smart without sacrificing performance.
Comfort Meets Performance: The Must-Have Golf Accessories for Women
Golf is all about feel. And we’re not just talking about your swing. The right women’s golf gear adds comfort, reduces distractions, and helps you focus on what really matters—your game.
Here’s what deserves a spot in your golf bag or on your cart.
Sun Protection You’ll Actually Use
Let’s start with the no-brainer: sunscreen. But not just any sunscreen—something you’ll use regularly, even on cloudy days. The Sun Caddy Mineral Sunscreen Stick is a top pick for women golfers because:
- It applies dry and won’t leave your hands greasy
- It fits right in your pocket or cart cupholder
- It’s sweat-resistant (because walking 18 is no joke)
Throw in a lightweight sun hat or visor, and you’ve just added comfort and skin protection without even swinging a club.

Gloves That Actually Fit
Women’s golf gloves aren’t just smaller versions of men's gloves. They’re contoured for slimmer hands and often come with breathable mesh panels, soft cabretta leather, or extra grip zones.
Look for:
- A snug (but not tight) fit across the palm
- Adjustable velcro closures
- A pair with personality—colorful designs or patterned stitching can be a fun expression of your on-course vibe
Pro insight: I keep an extra glove in a plastic bag in my bag—dry, clean, and always ready for a fresh feel on the back nine.
Tote It All in Style: Functional Golf Bags for Women
Forget the “one size fits all” model. Today’s women’s golf bags are lighter, better balanced, and (thankfully) a lot more stylish.
Key features to look for:
- Double straps for walking comfort
- Insulated cooler pocket (essential on hot days)
- Plenty of storage for sunscreen, lip balm, an extra ball marker, and yes—your favorite snack
Look for brands that offer women-specific models designed to balance well with shorter torsos or smaller frames.
Performance-Boosting Accessories Worth the Space
These small but mighty tools often get overlooked, but once you’ve used them, there’s no going back:
- Rangefinders or GPS watches for smart distance control
- Alignment sticks to fine-tune your swing during warm-up
- Divot repair tool with a built-in ball marker (no more digging around your pocket)
And don’t underestimate the power of a cooling towel in July. Just toss it in your bag and thank yourself later.
Style + Substance: Accessories That Feel Good and Look Even Better
Golf is one of the few sports where you can express yourself while competing—and that’s something worth leaning into.
Consider:
- Color-coordinated headcovers
- Patterned golf skirts with built-in shorts
- Fun ball markers or personalized tees
But function should never be sacrificed for form. The best women’s golf accessories combine performance with personality—and that’s the sweet spot.
Final Thoughts: The Best Golf Accessories for Women Are the Ones You’ll Use
Here's the deal: you don’t need to buy everything. Start with the basics that solve problems—sun protection, a great glove, a bag that fits—and build from there. Each accessory should earn its place in your bag, your car trunk, or your locker.
Over time, you’ll curate a kit that’s as unique and dynamic as your swing.
Treat Your Skin Like You Treat Your Game
If you're spending hours under the sun chasing birdies (or bogeys), make skin protection part of your golf ritual. Sun Caddy’s mineral sunscreen is designed with outdoor athletes in mind—lightweight, non-greasy, and tough enough for summer rounds.
