Best Golf Skorts 2024
A combination of comfort and a confidence boost, the skort is a fantastic way of adding color or femininity to an outfit
Skorts continue to be hugely popular, sported by most players on all of the women's tours and a staple in club golfers' wardrobes. But which skort works for you?
We believe comfort and confidence are really the winning combo in this category. Not too short but flattering enough to make you feel athletic enough to saunter onto Centre Court. Wrong sport we hear you cry? But perhaps a skort should have multiple purposes. It could indeed be worn on the tennis court, or with a T-shirt on a day out with the kids.
A skort is a key piece when women are trying to stay active and not flash one’s knickers whilst tackling a toddler or lining up that putt, yet still feeling a splash of femininity has been added into the choice of outfit for the day.
There are so many different colors, designs and fabrics to choose from, and some also come in different lengths. These are all the things we’ve taken into account when testing and compiling our guide to the best skorts in golf. It's also worth checking out our best women's golf shirts guide to get that winning combo. Additionally why not check out our other buying guides on the best golf rain jackets or best golf vests.
Best Golf Skorts
Why you can trust Golf Monthly
Colors: 1
Sizes: XS-XXL
Fabric: 95% Recycled Polyester/5% Elastane
+ Extremely flattering
+ Stretch in the fabric complete freedom and comfort
- 17” length - others may suit a shorter style
This is undoubtedly one of the most flattering golf skorts I’ve ever tried on. The fabric is so soft and smooth and genuinely just suits my slightly curvy pear-shaped silhouette. I love how the geometric pattern frames the bottom edge of the hem and matches the polo shirt, making this a really stylish outfit.
The material is soft to touch, with just enough stretch to make the fit incredibly comfortable, allowing total swing movement freedom. I like that this is a fraction longer on me than other skorts. At 17 inches it will definitely suit the woman with longer legs and won’t look like a mini skirt! There are two discrete yet good-sized pockets on the front of the to slip your tee pegs into.
Colors: 2
Sizes: XS-XXL
Fabric: Double Knit Modal
+ Incredible quality and highly practical
+ Teflon Eco-Elite coating, which is water and stain resistant
- Internal shorts offer little give
This Jackie O inspired A-Line skort is so classy. Paired with bright popping colours on top or on foot you could have a real ode to the 60’s get up going. Pair it with a sleeveless white top or long-sleeve polo shirt and you suddenly ooze class.
Well structured, deep pockets, two at the front and one at the back and with beautiful piping. The detail is really impressive. I’d say the internal shorts are a bit like silky pyjama bottoms, not a lot of give to them and fairly sheer. I’d line my putts up carefully in this one. Though at 16” it’s long enough to be modest. A fun and classic skort that will stand the test of time and has already got me excited about the summer.
Colors: 1
Sizes: XS-XXL
Fabric: 44% Recycled Polyester/12% Elastane
+ Shorts stay in place
+ Waistband Fits to your body
- Bottom of shorts are quite thick and might dig in
This skort is as light as a feather and is a very sensible length. This won’t blow about in the wind and flash the shorts for all to see. The undershorts have a logo embossed gripper around the bottom, so they don’t rise up, but this adds a bit of extra thickness to the under layer. Undershorts usually look and feel fairly invisible, but these do feel like shorts under a skirt. That said, this does impact overall comfort.
The pattern is very flattering and hides all manner of lumps and bumps and the tri-color stripe down the right side makes this skort ultra sporty. It has two pockets at the rear that won’t take any heavy items as the fabric is super stretchy and lightweight.
Colors: 2
Sizes: XS-XL
Fabric: 100% Polyester
+ Fantastic fit with 3 functional pockets
+ Feminine and funky pattern
- Pattern not for everyone
This skort is another level of gorgeous. The design is fun and feminine without being too delicate. I think this will appeal to the inner surf girl. The fit is magnificent, material is confidence boosting and the waistband is extra wide offering a tummy flattening effect. The fabric has ample stretch, making it comfortable to wear. It’s also worth mentioning that there’s no wrinkling with the easy to care for fabric.
This has already become a firm favorite and when paired with the matching FJ shirts on offer you have a garment that is stacked with versatility. FootJoy offers a longer length skort in i’s plain interlock design and it’s a shame that isn’t an option here. The larger sizes would benefit from a longer length.
Colors: 5
Sizes: XS-XL
Fabric: 88% Polyester/12% Spandex
+ 5 unique designs
+ Flattering shape
- No back pocket
British brand Famara creates art-inspired designs and this A-line skort, Forget Me Not, predominantly in purple, a color which is definitely on-trend for 2024, is one of five designs. It’s easy to pull on and I was impressed by the quality of the fabric and stitching detail, it feels luxurious.
The A-line design will suit most female golfers, and while it’s fairly clingy, the sculpted shape helps to make you feel and look good. I also like the wide waistband and this combined with the stretch fabric ensures a comfortable fit. There’s a deep pocket on the left-hand side at the bottom that’s useful for a few tee pegs or a ball. The in-built shorts also feature a small pocket and as they are attached to the waistband, they don’t shift!
Colors: 3
Sizes: XS-XXL
Fabric: 75% Nylon/25% Spandex
+ Incredible comfort
+ Stylish and feminine
- Length is quite short
Nivo’s Abi skort is a great example of a must-have summer wardrobe essential. It’s made from a very sporty stretch lycra fabric that gives it a really fantastic fit. The beauty of the Lycra is that it hugs your skin so that you have a flattering silhouette, but it’s soft to touch and very comfortable to wear.
There’s a pair of matching lycra shorts underneath for comfort and privacy, while allowing total swing freedom of movement. I love the way the material floats at the back of the skort, thanks to the pretty folds. The downside of this is it does tend to come up quite short in the length, so if you have long legs you may find it looks more like a mini skirt.
Colors: 11
Sizes: XS-XL
Fabric: 92% Nylon/8% Polyurethane
+ Extremely flattering
+ Comfortable fabric
- Style might be too flouncy for some women
This is one of the most feminine and flattering skorts I have ever worn. It’s no surprise that it’s called Flounce, it has a lovely flair at the bottom and at 16”, a really nice length, especially for petite women.
The fabric has soft texture and is super lightweight, so very comfortable to wear, not just for golf, but a range of activities. It also features UPF 50+ to protect from the sun, as well as Ibkul’s patented icefil technology that reduces moisture buildup on your skin to help regulate your body temperature by up to 5 degrees. There are pockets, either side and two more on the undershorts. As this skort is available in 11 colors, you probably won’t want just one in your wardrobe!
Colors: 10
Sizes: 8-18
Fabric: 100% Polyester
+ Flattering shape
+ Choice of colors
- Not an option if you prefer a pull-on skort
If you’re looking for a comfortable and easy-to-wear A-line skort this summer, then the Calm from Pure Golf is a good option. The design will suit most body shapes and it’s available in 9 different colors, so women will be hard pushed not to find at least one color they like.
It’s made in a four-way stretch polyester fabric, lightweight and very comfy to wear, and compared with other skorts in a similar fabric, the Calm has a more solid feel. In terms of detail, we like the small slit at the back and the silver studs that define the two front pockets and the button of the fly zip. These are etched with the Pure Golf logo, which also features on the two back pockets in very subtle stitching for an overall stylish effect.
Colors: Available in different designs
Sizes: XXS-XXL
Fabric: 95% Polyester/5% Spandex
+ High-quality fabric
+ Ultra comfortable
- Pattern won’t suit everyone
US brand Golftini produces a multitude of different skorts in various designs, but we particularly like this Downtime skort as it has an eye-catching zig-zag design in contrasting shades of hot pink, red, light pink, khaki and white. It also comes in two lengths - 16.5” and 17.5”.
The four-way stretch makes it easy to pull on and take off, and the wide waistband provides a comfortable fit. The fabric feels substantial and you cannot help but notice the high quality stitching, including the ribbon trim on the back scorecard pocket. There’s also a front tee pocket and that comes in very handy. The built-in undershorts are in the same fabric as the skort and these fit snug, which is another plus point, so combined with the A-line shape, this skort has the ability to flatter women!
How we test
We test golf apparel in the same way we test all golf equipment, by using products properly. In relation to tops this means putting them to the test out on the golf course to see if the design is well thought out, if the garment interferes with the swing in any way, and simply if the top is actually usable. We would also wear the tops off the golf course as well because versatility to use a garment anywhere is a great way to get value for money. The final point we wanted to mention here is no manufacturer can pay for a good review because our thorough testing team tells it how it is.
How to choose the best golf skort
When looking for the perfect skort it's important you tick the boxes that are right for you. Everyone is different and some like them longer some like a butt skimmer. There are so many on the market it's worth shopping about and going for a dark plain number, a bright sporty one and perhaps throwing a jazzy pattern in for days where you just need to smile.
What length are you after? Do you want a pencil fit, sporty fit or a more A-line skort? Does the skort match up with your shoes or any other items in your wardrobe? Not that this is essential as far as I'm concerned- retail therapy is always a happy therapy.
The amazing news is it isn't just scorching summer days the skort is limited to. I wear mine with a pair of warm leggings to brighten up a windy Autumn day on the course. Be inventive with your golf outfits and give it a go with perhaps a pair of Adidas Cold.RDY leggings underneath.
