Cleveland Bloom Ladies Package Set Review

The Cleveland Bloom ladies' set is crafted for beginner golfers or those looking to elevate their skills. This complete set includes all the essentials from driver to putter (driver, 5-wood, hybrid, SW-7 irons, and putter), plus a cart bag, making it a top choice among the best women’s golf sets.

With its black and pink design, the set has a distinctly feminine touch, especially the bag and matching headcovers, though personally, the pink is a bit much for my taste. I was happy to see that the shafts and clubheads are primarily grey and black with just a hint of pink.

Driver

The driver, with its large head and 14-degree loft, delivers plenty of forgiveness, though it naturally sits slightly closed at address, which didn’t feel as confident as I’d prefer for easy launch. An alignment aid would be a welcome addition here.

While it’s not as technologically advanced as high-end models like TaylorMade’s Kalea Premier or Ping’s G Le3, this driver holds its own, offering a comfortable swing and reliable forgiveness on off-centre hits.

Fairway Wood

Fairway woods can be intimidating for some women, but the compact Bloom 5-wood has a deep face that lowers the centre of gravity, helping launch high, strong shots. While beginners might hesitate to use a fairway wood in light rough, this club performed well there and even made a great alternative off the tee.

Hybrid

In my opinion, the 5-hybrid is the standout club of the set. It sets up beautifully, and the chunky clubhead instils confidence, making it feel nearly impossible to mishit from any lie. I found it easy to generate power, leading to accurate shots that built my confidence.

Irons

The irons are designed with a cavity-back, thick sole, and larger clubhead, all of which provide a low centre of gravity and a generous sweet spot, helping golfers get the ball airborne with forgiveness.

These irons look great at address, though I did find them a bit heavy in the head, making them not quite as effortless to hit. However, the wedges are exceptional, especially the 56-degree wedge, which performed excellently from sand.

Putter

Rounding out the set is a mallet-style putter that, compared to other oversized mallet putters, is compact and feels immediately comfortable. Its weight is well-balanced, allowing for a smooth roll and impressive consistency on the greens.

Golf Bag

Whatever your thoughts on the colour scheme, the cart bag is a fantastic bonus with 8 roomy pockets, including a detachable pouch for valuables. Overall, this is one of the best golf club sets for beginners, combining value and performance to jumpstart a golfer’s journey. It’s also a thoughtful option for birthdays or a Christmas gift for women entering the game.
