“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.

“Do I need to be fit or sporty?”

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.
