Ten women’s golf club sets for beginners compared on set makeup, forgiveness and what comes in the bag.
Every set on this page is built and sized for women, with lighter shafts and shorter lengths than a men’s set, and every one includes a bag. Unisex sets sold as men’s clubs were left out even where they are cheaper, because shaft weight and length are the whole reason a women’s set exists. Prices run from about 180 dollars for a seven club starter to about 455 for a full package from a major brand, and all figures below come from the manufacturer listings.
Women’s beginner golf sets: the ten picks at a glance
Three things separate these sets. The first is how many clubs you get: seven is enough to play, eleven to fifteen fills the bag out with a sand wedge and extra irons. The second is the shaft. Graphite is lighter and easier to swing fast, steel is heavier and cheaper, and only one set here uses steel in the irons. The third is fitting: several makers offer petite, regular and tall lengths, and picking the wrong one is the most common mistake in a first set.
What all of them share is the same forgiveness recipe: a 460cc driver head, a hybrid instead of long irons, perimeter weighted cavity back irons and a putter with an alignment aid. That is standard now, so it is not what should decide your purchase. Below are three picks for the common cases, then the full table, then each set in detail.

The ten women's sets in detail
- Shaftslightweight graphite in every club except the putter
- Gripswomen's sized soft all weather grips
- Driverhigh lofted, large sweet spot, swing speed matched
- Sand wedgeEasy Launch, very low weighting and a wide sole
- Putterheel and toe weighted with a soft alignment grip
- Bagpremium carry bag with Air Flow adjustable straps and a self activating stand
Best for: A beginner who intends to keep playing and wants to buy once
This is the set to buy if you know golf is going to stick. Wilson builds the Profile SGI specifically for women, with lightweight graphite in every club except the putter and grips sized for smaller hands, and the driver is swing speed matched, which means the shaft and head are chosen for a slower swing rather than simply softened.
Two clubs stand out. The high lofted driver has the large sweet spot every package set claims, and the Easy Launch sand wedge uses very low weighting and a wide sole, which is exactly the design that keeps a beginner out of trouble around greens. The bag is a premium carry bag with adjustable Air Flow straps and a self activating stand, so it works for walking rounds.
Pros
- SGI stands for super game improvement, and the whole set is built to that brief rather than scaled down from a men's line
- Swing speed matched clubs are the one genuine fitting feature in this price class
- The Easy Launch sand wedge has the wide low sole that makes bunkers and chips survivable for a beginner
- Women's sized grips matter more than most buyers expect: a grip that is too thick fights the release
Cons
- At about 450 dollars it is at the top of this list on price
- Wilson does not publish the exact club count on this listing, so check the size and configuration before ordering
- A carry bag rather than a cart bag, which is a limit if you always ride
- Setdriver, 5 wood, 5 hybrid, 7 and 9 iron, sand wedge, putter, stand bag, 3 head covers
- Woodsbuilt for a combination of distance, forgiveness and control
- Irons and wedgestainless steel
- Puttermallet with an alignment aid
- Baglightweight stand bag with five pockets, a cooler pocket, rain hood and backpack straps
- Pieces11 in total, counting the bag and covers
Best for: A beginner who would rather carry fewer clubs and learn them properly
Strata is Callaway's package set brand and this is the women's eleven piece version. Read the count carefully: eleven pieces means eight clubs plus the bag and three head covers. What you get is a driver, a 5 wood, a 5 hybrid, a 7 and a 9 iron, a sand wedge and a mallet putter.
That is a deliberately short bag, and for a beginner it is defensible. The hybrid replaces the long irons that nobody can hit, and two irons plus a wedge cover the scoring range without asking you to pick between clubs that go almost the same distance. The stand bag is the best specified in this list, with five pockets, a cooler pocket, a rain hood and a backpack strap system.
Pros
- Strata is Callaway's package set line, so the name behind it is the strongest here
- Two irons plus a sand wedge is a deliberate choice: fewer clubs, less confusion, and the gaps do not matter yet at beginner distances
- A 5 hybrid instead of long irons removes the hardest clubs in golf from the bag
- The bag is well specified, with a cooler pocket and a rain hood that cheaper sets skip
Cons
- At about 455 dollars it is the most expensive set here and you get fewer clubs than the 14 and 15 piece sets
- No fitting options: one standard length, so shorter and taller golfers are out of luck
- The eleven piece count includes the bag and three head covers, so it is eight actual clubs
- Set14 pieces, right hand, standard length
- Driver460cc forged titanium head, low and back center of gravity
- Fairway woodoversized, aerodynamic head, low center of gravity
- Hybridwide sole and light build, head cover included
- Irons6, 7, 8, 9, pitching wedge and sand wedge, perimeter weighted
- Puttermatte finish with an L neck hosel and bold sight lines
Best for: A beginner who wants a full bag rather than a starter selection
The Lady Diamond S5 is the answer to the sets above if you want more clubs for less money. Fourteen pieces, with a 460cc forged titanium driver, an oversized fairway wood, a hybrid and six irons that run from the 6 through the pitching and sand wedges.
The technical description is more detailed than most package sets manage: low and back center of gravity in the driver, perimeter weighting and a multi function sole on the irons, an L neck hosel and bold sight lines on the putter. What is missing is the shaft. PGF does not say whether these are graphite or steel or what flex they are, and in a women's set that is the specification that matters most.
Pros
- Six irons including a sand wedge is the widest iron run in this price class
- A titanium driver head at 280 dollars is unusual, most sets at this price use an alloy
- The L neck putter hosel gives the offset that helps a beginner keep the hands ahead
- Perimeter weighted irons with a multi function sole are the correct beginner specification
Cons
- PGF does not state shaft material or flex on this listing, which is the most important number in a women's set
- Standard length only, with no petite or tall fitting
- PGF is a package set brand with little presence outside these listings
- Set460cc driver, 3 wood, hybrid, 5 irons and a putter
- Driver13 degrees, oversized 460cc head, lightweight graphite shaft
- Fairway wood15 degrees, lightweight graphite shaft
- Shaftsgraphite throughout the set
- Bagstand bag with auto-pop legs, dual straps, rain hood and multiple pockets
- Handright hand
Best for: A golfer who wants every shaft in the bag to be graphite without paying brand prices
Ram's EZ3 is the set for someone who has read that graphite is lighter and wants it in every club. The driver is a 460cc head at 13 degrees on a lightweight graphite shaft, the 3 wood is 15 degrees on the same, and the hybrid and five irons follow.
Those loft numbers are worth noting because so few package sets publish them. A 13 degree driver is high lofted by any standard, and for a beginner that is help, not a compromise: more loft means more backspin, a higher launch and less sidespin. The stand bag is properly specified with auto-pop legs, dual straps and a rain hood. The gap is the short game, since no sand wedge is listed.
Pros
- All graphite shafts at 270 dollars, where several sets at this price do not even state the material
- Ram publishes actual loft numbers, 13 degrees on the driver and 15 on the 3 wood, which almost nobody else here does
- A 13 degree driver is high lofted for a slow swing, which gets the ball in the air
- The stand bag with auto-pop legs and a rain hood is the same specification as sets costing 150 dollars more
Cons
- Five irons plus a putter with no sand wedge listed, so the short game is thin
- One length only, no petite or tall option
- Ram publishes no shaft flex, only the material
- Set460cc titanium alloy driver, 3 fairway wood, 21 degree hybrid, 6 to PW stainless steel irons, putter
- Sizespetite for 5 feet 3 and below, regular for 5 feet 3 to 5 feet 8, tall for 5 feet 8 and above
- Colorsthree, including a bright pink
- Shaftslightweight graphite in the woods, irons and driver
- Bagdeluxe dual strap stand bag with cover, pockets, grab handle and rain hood
- Extrasthree head covers
Best for: Golfers who are noticeably shorter or taller than average and keep buying clubs that do not fit
The XD1's argument is fit. It comes in petite for golfers up to five feet three, regular from there to five feet eight and tall above that, in three colors, which is a genuine choice rather than a marketing list. Getting the length right does more for a beginner than any head technology.
The clubs themselves are the standard package specification done properly: a 460cc titanium alloy driver, a 3 fairway wood, a 21 degree hybrid, stainless steel irons from the 6 through the pitching wedge, and a putter, all on lightweight graphite. The bag is a dual strap stand bag with a rain hood and three head covers. The gap, as with several sets here, is a sand wedge.
Pros
- Three length options is the best fitting choice in this list, and length is the single most common problem in a first set
- A 460cc titanium alloy driver head is the largest the USGA allows, so nothing bigger is legal
- Five irons plus a 21 degree hybrid covers the distance range properly
- Graphite in every wood and iron, which the maker states explicitly
Cons
- At about 284 dollars it is dearer than the Aspire X1 with much the same club makeup
- No sand wedge in the set, only through the pitching wedge
- Stock on individual size and color combinations runs thin
- Set460cc titanium driver, stainless steel fairway wood and hybrid, 5 to PW irons, putter
- Shafts100 percent graphite in every club
- Sizesmultiple lengths offered to match height
- Colorspink and purple
- Bagdeluxe stand bag with dual straps
- Handright hand
Best for: A beginner who wants the longest run of irons in a package set
The M5 gives you more irons than anything else in this price range, running from the 5 through the pitching wedge. Whether that is an advantage depends on you: six irons means proper distance gaps as you improve, but the 5 iron is the hardest club in the bag for a new golfer and will likely stay in the bag for a while.
The rest is solid. A 460cc titanium driver, stainless steel fairway wood and hybrid heads, and Precise's explicit claim of 100 percent graphite shafts in every club, which several competitors here leave vague. Sizes are offered to match height, and the set comes in pink or purple with a matching dual strap stand bag.
Pros
- Irons from the 5 through the pitching wedge is six clubs, more than most sets here offer
- Precise states 100 percent graphite, so there is no steel hiding in the irons
- Multiple size options, so the set can be matched to your height
- Stainless steel fairway wood and hybrid heads rather than the softer alloys used at this price
Cons
- At about 300 dollars it is the dearest of the specialist package brands here
- A 5 iron is a hard club for a beginner and will sit unused for a season
- No sand wedge is listed, so the bunker club has to be bought separately
- Precise publishes no lofts for any club in the set
- Settitanium alloy driver, 3 fairway wood, 4/5 hybrid, 6 to PW irons, putter
- Driveroversized 460cc titanium alloy head
- Ironsperimeter weighted
- Putterbuilt-in alignment aid
- Bagdeluxe stand bag with cover, storage pockets, dual straps and a rain hood
- Extrasthree matching head covers
Best for: Someone who likes the Aspire specification but not the XD1 price
The X1 is the Aspire set to buy if you are close to average height, because it costs about 20 dollars less than the XD1 and the bag ends up looking much the same. Oversized 460cc titanium alloy driver, 3 fairway wood, a 4/5 hybrid that replaces two long irons, perimeter weighted irons from the 6 through the pitching wedge, and a putter with an alignment aid.
What you give up is the fitting. The XD1 comes in three lengths, this comes in one, and Aspire is also vaguer about the shafts, describing the build as lightweight without naming the material. If you are between five feet three and five feet eight, that difference costs you nothing.
Pros
- Around 20 dollars less than the XD1 for essentially the same club makeup
- The 4/5 hybrid covers two long iron slots in one club, which is the right simplification for a beginner
- Perimeter weighted irons and an alignment aid putter are the correct beginner features
- The same deluxe stand bag and three head covers as the dearer set
Cons
- No petite or tall option, unlike the XD1, so height has to fit the standard build
- Aspire does not state the shaft material beyond calling the build lightweight
- No sand wedge in the set
- The listing uses heavy decorative lettering, which makes the specification harder to read than it should be
- Set15 pieces including a 460cc driver, 3 fairway wood, 5 hybrid, 5 to 9 irons, pitching wedge, putter and stand bag
- Driver460cc with a low center of gravity and a large sweet spot
- Ironscavity back with deep grooves
- Hybridlow profile, sold as an alternative to long irons
- Putterzinc alloy with an anti-slip face and an alignment aid
- Bagstand bag with adjustable straps, pockets, a stable base and a rain hood
Best for: A beginner who wants every distance gap covered from the first day
PGM sells this on the piece count and the bag is genuinely full: a 460cc driver, a 3 fairway wood, a 5 hybrid, irons from the 5 through the 9, a pitching wedge and a putter. Count carefully, though, because the fifteen includes the stand bag and the head covers.
The construction reads correctly for a beginner. Cavity back irons with deep grooves, a low profile hybrid meant to replace the long irons, a low center of gravity driver. Two things hold it back: the putter head is zinc alloy, which is softer than the steel used in better sets, and PGM never says what the shafts are made of.
Pros
- Five irons plus a pitching wedge and a hybrid is a genuinely complete bag at under 290 dollars
- Cavity back irons with deep grooves is the right construction for forgiveness and some spin
- Head covers are included for the woods, which cheap sets often skip
- PGM states the set is aimed at beginners through intermediates, so it has some room to grow with you
Cons
- A zinc alloy putter head is soft and will mark, which is why better sets use steel
- PGM does not state shaft material or flex anywhere in the listing
- Fifteen pieces counts the bag and covers, so the club count is lower than it sounds
- No sand wedge, despite the piece count
- Setoversized metal wood, 24 degree hybrid, 6, 7, 8 and 9 irons, pitching wedge, 33 inch blade putter
- Shaftslady-flex steel in all clubs
- Ironscavity backed
- Putter33 inch blade
- Bagstand bag with auto-pop legs
- Gripsall weather
Best for: A beginner on a strict budget who wants a full bag rather than a short one
The Lady Power III is the cheapest way here to get a full bag, and it is honest about what it is. An oversized metal wood, a 24 degree hybrid, cavity backed irons from the 6 through the pitching wedge, a 33 inch blade putter and a stand bag with auto-pop legs, for under 200 dollars.
The trade-off is the shafts. Everything is lady-flex steel, which is a softer flex but still heavier than the graphite used across the rest of this list, and weight is exactly what a women's set is meant to reduce. In exchange you get published numbers rather than trade names, and a set that costs less than half the Wilson.
Pros
- Under 200 dollars for a complete set with a stand bag is the lowest full-set price here
- Confidence publishes the actual numbers: a 24 degree hybrid and a 33 inch putter, which almost no competitor does
- Cavity backed irons from the 6 through the pitching wedge is a proper iron run at this price
- Lady-flex is a stated flex, which is more than most sets in this list disclose
Cons
- Steel shafts are heavier than graphite, which is the main thing a lighter women's set is supposed to fix
- A metal wood rather than a modern 460cc titanium driver, so it is behind the field on driver technology
- A blade putter is less forgiving than the mallets in most sets here
- An old model, so the design predates most of what the other sets advertise
- Setdriver, hybrid, 7 iron, 9 iron, sand wedge, putter and stand bag
- Driver460cc with a low center of gravity for easy launch
- Shafts78 gram graphite, described as ultralight
- Sand wedgehigh bounce for chipping and bunker shots
- Putteralignment lines for a true roll
- Bagstand bag with comfortable dual straps
Best for: Someone trying golf for a season without spending 300 dollars to find out
This is the smallest sensible starter set: driver, hybrid, 7 iron, 9 iron, sand wedge, putter and a stand bag. That covers a round of golf, and for a beginner the missing clubs are ones that would sit unused anyway.
The two details that lift it above the other budget options are the shaft weight and the wedge. Tivor states 78 gram graphite shafts, an actual number where most makers here just say lightweight, and the sand wedge is high bounce, which is the specification that keeps the club from digging in sand. What you will notice within a season is the gap between the 9 iron and the wedge, and the absence of a fairway wood.
Pros
- About 180 dollars is the lowest price in this list, bag included
- 78 gram shafts are the lightest stated here, and Tivor is the only maker that gives an actual weight
- A high bounce sand wedge is included, which several sets costing 100 dollars more leave out
- Seven clubs is enough to play a full round and less to think about while learning
Cons
- Two irons only, so there are large distance gaps as soon as you start hitting the ball consistently
- No fairway wood, which limits you off the tee on shorter holes
- A new brand with no track record on durability
- One build only, with no petite or tall option
Checklist: What makes a good women's beginner set
- Club composition, and the piece count: A usable beginner set is a driver, a fairway wood, a hybrid in place of the long irons, a run of irons and a putter. Read the advertised piece count carefully: an eleven or fifteen piece set counts the bag and the head covers, so the number of actual clubs is lower. Check separately whether a sand wedge is included, because several sets here stop at the pitching wedge.
- Shaft Flexibility: Clubs with lady-flex or graphite shafts cater to beginner swing speeds, providing the necessary flex without demanding undue power, enhancing the learning experience.
- Club Ergonomics: The right club length and grip size are imperative. Clubs are often designed with women's ergonomics in mind, ensuring comfort and control during the swing.
- Weight and Portability: Lightweight clubs and sets promote endurance throughout the game, and a stand bag with comfortable straps can ease the burden of carrying gear over 18 holes.
- Forgiveness: High-lofted drivers and cavity-backed irons with a large sweet spot are recommended since they forgive inaccuracy and help maintain ball direction and flight.
- Length and fitting: The most common mistake in a first set is buying the wrong length. Several makers on this page offer petite, regular and tall builds against a stated height range, and choosing by height does more for your contact than any head design. Where only one standard build is offered, check the height range before ordering rather than after.
FAQ
What should be included in a beginner women's golf club set?
A driver, a fairway wood, a hybrid, a run of irons and a putter is the working minimum, and a sand wedge if the set includes one. Do not read the piece count as a club count: the bag and the head covers are counted in it, so a fifteen piece set can hold ten clubs.
What type of shaft flexibility is recommended for women's beginner golf clubs?
Beginner women's golf clubs should feature lady-flex or graphite shafts to match the swing speed and provide the necessary flex for easier learning.
How important is the weight and portability of women’s golf clubs for beginners?
Lightweight and portable golf clubs are essential for beginners to maintain endurance and ease the carrying of gear during the multiple hours of play.
