Women in Golf: A Growing Movement
Golf has long been a game steeped in tradition — but in recent years, it’s been embracing a welcome wave of change. More women than ever are taking up the sport, joining clubs, competing, and travelling for golf holidays. It’s a trend that’s transforming the game and creating new opportunities for female golfers around the world.
At Golf Planet Holidays, we’re proud to see more women enjoying golf and making it part of their lifestyle, whether that’s a casual round with friends or a group golf holiday abroad.
Why More Women Are Taking Up Golf
There are plenty of reasons why golf is becoming increasingly popular with women of all ages:
It’s social: Golf isn’t just about competition — it’s about conversation, connection, and time outdoors with good company.
It’s good for your wellbeing: A round of golf is a great way to stay active, reduce stress, and enjoy beautiful surroundings.
There’s more choice than ever: From women-only golf societies to mixed events and dedicated ladies’ golf holidays, there’s a format to suit everyone.
Celebrating Female Golfing Achievements
On the professional stage, women’s golf is flourishing. The Ladies European Tour and LPGA Tour continue to grow in profile, attracting new fans and delivering fantastic tournaments. Inspirational players like Charley Hull, Georgia Hall, and Lydia Ko are breaking records and raising the game’s visibility for female players globally.
Closer to home, more golf clubs are actively encouraging women’s participation through beginner programmes, flexible memberships, and dedicated events.
Women’s Golf Holidays: More Popular Than Ever
Whether it’s a group of friends heading to Portugal, a mother-and-daughter weekend in Spain, or a social ladies’ getaway in Turkey, female golfers are discovering how rewarding a golf holiday can be.
These trips aren’t just about golf — they’re about relaxing, unwinding, and exploring beautiful destinations. Many packages include spa days, excursions, wine tasting, and more, making them the perfect combination of sport and leisure.
The Future of Women in Golf
With increased visibility, support, and opportunity, the future of women in golf looks bright. The game is becoming more inclusive, more accessible, and more welcoming — and it’s about time.
At Golf Planet Holidays, we’re excited to be part of this journey, offering tailored golf holidays for women’s groups, societies, and solo travellers alike.
