A Friendly Way to Get Started
If you’re curious about golf but unsure where to begin, Get Into Golf is here to help you understand what to expect and find beginner-friendly opportunities near you.
Golf is becoming more diverse and inclusive
Golf today is more welcoming and inclusive than many people expect. Across England, more women are exploring golf as a fun, social and confidence-boosting activity. Beginner-friendly opportunities are designed to be relaxed, supportive and open to everyone — no matter your background.
“Will I be the only woman?”
This is one of the most common questions women ask when thinking about golf.
You won’t be the only woman there…
There are many beginner sessions created specifically for women, helping you learn alongside others who are also new to the game. You can search for women-friendly sessions near you and choose what feels right.
Golf is for all fitness levels
You don’t need to be particularly fit, strong or sporty to start golf. Many women begin with no sporting background at all. Golf can be gentle, flexible and adapted to suit different abilities — making it an activity you can enjoy at your own pace.
“Is golf expensive?”
Getting started doesn’t have to cost a lot
Trying golf doesn’t mean making a big financial commitment. Many beginner opportunities are affordable, and equipment is often available to use during sessions. You can find options that let you try golf before deciding what comes next.
What should I wear? What will it be like?
You don’t need specialist golf clothing to get started — comfortable, everyday clothes are usually fine. Coaching is beginner-friendly, and sessions focus on helping you feel relaxed, supported and confident, rather than on performance or skill.
Connection, confidence and community
For many women, golf becomes more than just an activity. It’s a chance to spend time outdoors, meet new people and feel part of a community. The social side of golf is often just as important as learning the game itself.
Why women choose to give golf a go
Women come to golf for lots of different reasons — wellbeing, confidence, friendship or simply curiosity. Read stories from women who found their way into golf and discovered it was more welcoming than they expected.
