👉 All Our Golf Rankings: Golf Sets for Beginners, the best drivers, the best irons…
What are the best golf clubs for women in 2026? As a complete set, the Callaway Strata Ultimate, Golf Monthly's top women's set in three guides. For the driver, the Ping G Le4, and in irons, the Ping G Le3. Here is our selection of 15 clubs by category (complete sets, drivers, irons), which you can filter by type.
Note: In 2026, Golf Monthly is the only publication to publish buying guides dedicated to women’s clubs. MyGolfSpy, Golf Digest, and GOLF did not conduct any women’s club reviews this year. This selection therefore draws primarily on Golf Monthly’s recommendations, cross-referenced where possible with National Club Golfer, Golfalot, and MyGolfSpy. That is why we do not provide a ranking.

The Best Women's Golf Club in Each Category
Best Complete Set: Callaway Strata Ultimate
Golf Monthly's best women's set in three guides (sets, women's clubs, beginners): 16 pieces in the tested version, including a 12° driver, two hybrids and a bag, for about £320. Very forgiving, but not customizable and with no left-handed version.
Best High-End Set: Callaway REVA 11-Piece Set
Golf Monthly's premium pick in four guides: 12.5° driver, 3-wood, 5 and 6 hybrids, 7- to 9-irons, PW, SW, Odyssey putter and cart bag. A shorter version exists for players 5'1" (1.55 m) and under.
Best Set for Beginners: Cleveland Bloom
According to Golf Monthly, this is the best set for beginners, featuring a slightly closed 14° driver to help reduce slices. There is no left-handed version, and the irons are a bit heavy.
Best Driver: Ping G Le4
Golf Monthly's Best Women's Driver in four guides, recommended for swing speeds up to 80 mph (about 129 km/h). Single 11.5° loft, adjustable, $650 at launch.
Most Forgiving Driver: XXIO 14
The most forgiving women's driver in Golf Monthly's guide: three lofts (11.5°, 12.5°, and 13.5°), with a draw bias. It offers more consistency than distance and isn't suitable for fast swings.
Best Irons: Ping G Le3
Golf Monthly's best women's irons in two guides, for slow to moderate swing speeds, with no 5-iron (replaced by hybrids). Their successors, the G Le4, are “a must-try” according to the magazine's 2026 test.
The Best Complete Golf Sets for Women
Callaway Strata Ultimate
Named the best set by Golf Monthly in its guides to sets, women’s clubs, and beginner sets. The version tested includes 16 pieces: a 12° driver, fairway wood, 4- and 5-hybrids, 6- through 9-irons, pitching wedge, sand wedge, putter, and a stand bag; it is also available in 11- and 14-piece sets. The magazine notes that the irons are a bit heavy in the head.
Callaway REVA 11-Piece Set
Golf Monthly's premium set: 12.5° driver, 3-wood, 5- and 6-hybrids, 7- through 9-irons, PW, SW, Odyssey Stroke Lab putter, cart bag, and five club covers. Notable weaknesses: wedges that lack versatility and irons with a firm feel.

TaylorMade Kalea Gold
The only set to receive a 5 out of 5 rating from National Club Golfer. Ten-piece set: adjustable carbon-face driver, 5-wood, 6-hybrid, irons 7 through pitching wedge (PW), sand wedge (SW), Spider S putter, and bag. $1,899 at launch, according to MyGolfSpy, which notes a slight draw bias across the entire set. The clubs are also sold individually.
Wilson Aurora
According to Golf Monthly, this is the best set for high handicappers—ideal after your first set: 13° driver, 5-wood, 5- and 6-hybrids, irons from 7-iron to sand wedge, putter, and a cart bag. Too simple for a low-handicap player.

Cleveland Bloom
Golf Monthly's best set for beginners, with a slightly closed 14° driver to fight a slice. The magazine contradicts itself on its make-up (9 or 10 pieces): check the exact model before buying.
MacGregor CG4000 Women's
The lightest set for Golf Monthly, and its best value for petite golfers: 13° driver, fairway wood, 24° hybrid, 7-iron to SW, putter and bag, for about £340.
Vice Boost Women's
Rated 4.5 out of 5 by National Club Golfer: a starter set with a 12° driver, hybrid, 6-iron to SW and putter, with soft graphite shafts 1.25 in (3 cm) shorter than the men's version. The tester, who is 5'9" (1.75 m), found them too short for her.
The Best Drivers for Women
Ping G Le4
Golf Monthly's Best Women's Driver, featured in four guides: adjustable 11.5° loft, lightweight shafts, for swing speeds of 80 mph or less. Ping claims a 22% reduction in dispersion compared to the G Le3. $650 at launch.
Callaway REVA Rise
The best looking driver for Golf Monthly, rated 4.7 out of 5 by Golfalot for the whole range. Designed for players moving from a box set to individual clubs, with an adjustable hosel. $499.99 at launch. Stated lofts vary by source: check the brand's website.
XXIO 14 Women's
The most forgiving for Golf Monthly: three adjustable loft options and a draw bias. It mainly improves consistency, and does not suit high swing speeds.
The Best Irons for Women
Ping G Le3 and G Le4
The G Le3s are Golf Monthly’s top women’s irons in two guides, for slow to moderate swings. Their successors, the G Le4 (priced at $202.50 per iron according to MyGolfSpy), are rated “a must-try” in the magazine’s 2026 test for swing speeds of 80 mph or less.
XXIO 14 Women's
Golf Monthly's most forgiving irons, featured in three guides: titanium faces and high ball flight, for slow to moderate swing speeds.
TaylorMade Kalea Gold
Golf Monthly's best looking women's irons: wide sole and Cap Back design for forgiveness. The magazine warns that their shape will not suit everyone. £849 RRP.
Callaway REVA Rise
Listed by Golf Monthly and rated 4.7 out of 5 by Golfalot: weaker lofts than average (31° 7-iron) to help launch the ball. $999.99 for six irons at launch.
How We Chose
We do not test the clubs ourselves. This selection is based on the 2026 guides from Golf Monthly (Best Women’s Golf Sets 2026), Best Women’s Golf Clubs 2026, Best Golf Drivers For Women 2026, Best Golf Irons For Women 2026, Best Beginner Golf Clubs For Ladies 2026 and Best Ladies Petite Golf Clubs 2026, cross-checked with the tests by National Club Golfer, Golfalot and MyGolfSpy's launch articles. As only one publication releases real women's buying guides this year, we present the models by category, without a ranking. This selection is reviewed every year.
How Should Women Choose Their Golf Clubs?
Women's clubs or men's clubs?
Women's models are generally lighter, shorter, and more open (more loft), with more flexible shafts and thinner grips, according to MyGolfSpy. However, a tall female golfer or one with a fast swing may be better served by so-called “men’s” clubs: most professional female golfers use them.
Start From Your Swing Speed
This is the main criterion. For example, Golf Monthly recommends the Ping G Le4 for driver swing speeds up to 80 mph (about 129 km/h). For speeds above that, check out the standard models in our driver and iron rankings.
Match Club Length to Your Height
Standard women's clubs are designed for golfers about 5'7" (1.70 m) tall. For 5'3" (1.60 m) and under, Golf Monthly points to the short version of the Callaway REVA or a fitting. The right measurement is wrist-to-floor, which sets club length and lie angle.
Which Clubs to Upgrade First?
After a box set, the fitters interviewed by Golf Digest first recommend a real sand wedge (the one in box sets is often just an iron head) and a 5-hybrid, easier to launch than woods, especially from the rough.
Fred's Take on Women's Golf Clubs
My advice: Don't choose a club just because it's “for women,” but because it matches your swing speed and height. A complete set like the Strata Ultimate is enough to get you started. After that, a fitting will tell you whether women's or standard clubs are the best fit for you. To choose the right first set, see also our ranking of the best beginner golf sets.
