Packing for a golf trip is kind of like packing for a weekend with your besties, except your outfits need to work on the course, off the course and possibly at a post-round patio where golf shoes are absolutely optional.

Whether you’re headed out for a quick girls’ getaway or a full-on golfcation, the key is packing smart, stylish and stress-free.

This guide is for women golfers who play for fun, love a good outfit moment and want to look pulled together without overthinking it.

Let’s break it down by trip length – 3, 5 or 7 days – so you can spend less time packing and more time planning your tee times (and cocktails 🍹).

First Things First: The Golden Rule of Golf Trip Packing

Before we get into day counts, here’s the magic formula:

Mix + match pieces > full outfits.

Stick to a cohesive color palette (think black, white, navy, tan, or soft pastels) so everything plays nicely together. That way, one skort can work with three tops, and suddenly you’ve created outfit options without overpacking.

Also remember:

• Most golf resorts have laundry
• You’ll repeat bottoms more than tops
• Layers are your best friend

.

Now let’s pack.

3-Day Golf Trip: The Quick Getaway

Perfect for long weekends, tournaments, or a spontaneous escape.

On-Course Essentials

• 2 golf skorts or shorts – Neutral colors = maximum rewear
• 3 golf tops – Sleeveless, short sleeve or one of each
• 1 lightweight layer – Quarter zip, pullover, or vest
• 1 golf dress – Cute, comfy and a one-and-done outfit

You’ll likely play 2 rounds, maybe 3 if you’re ambitious. These pieces give you flexibility without overpacking.

.

Off-Course Outfits

• 1 casual outfit – Think athleisure or an easy sundress
• 1 nicer dinner look – Skirt, linen pants or jumpsuit
• Light jacket or cardigan – For chilly evenings

.

Shoes & Accessories

• 1 pair golf shoes
• 1 pair casual sandals or slides
• 1 pair of sneakers for travel days
• Hat or visor
• Sunglasses
• Belt (if your bottoms require one)

✨ Pro tip: Wear your bulkiest shoes on travel day to save space.

5-Day Golf Trip: The Sweet Spot

This is the ideal length for a relaxed, play-some-golf, lounge-some-too kind of trip.

On-Course Essentials

• 3 golf skorts/shorts
• 4–5 golf tops
• 1–2 lightweight layers – Morning rounds happen
• 1 golf dress
• Optional: 1 fun statement piece – Patterned skort or bold top

You’ll probably play 3–4 rounds, so this combo lets you repeat bottoms while keeping outfits fresh.

.

Off-Course Outfits

• 2 casual daytime outfits – Poolside, shopping, or travel days
• 2 dinner outfits – One relaxed, one slightly elevated
• Pajamas + lounge set – Because hotel lounging is a sport

.

Shoes & Accessories

• 1–2 pairs golf shoes (especially if one pair gets wet)
• 1 casual shoe
• 1 dressier sandal or wedge
• 2 hats or visors
• Jewelry that works day-to-night

✨ Pro tip: Choose tops that also work off the course—polos that look cute with denim are gold.

7-Day Golf Trip: The Ultimate Golfcation

If you’re going all in, this is where strategy really matters. You want options but not an exploding suitcase.

On-Course Essentials

• 4 golf bottoms – Skorts, shorts, or lightweight pants
• 6–7 golf tops
• 2 layering pieces – Vest + quarter zip is a great combo
• 2 golf dresses – Trust us, you’ll be glad you packed them

Plan for 4–5 rounds, rest days, and maybe a replay round when you can’t resist.

.

Off-Course Outfits

• 3 casual outfits – Athleisure, dresses, or cute sets
• 2–3 dinner outfits – Mix of relaxed and elevated
• Swimsuit (or two!) – Hot tubs count as recovery
• Lounge + sleepwear

.

Shoes & Accessories

• 2 pairs golf shoes
• 2 casual shoes
• 1 dressy shoe
• Multiple hats/visors
• Statement accessories – Scarves, earrings, or belts

✨ Pro tip: Pack one “wildcard” outfit, something extra-fun you might not normally wear. Vacations are for it.

.

Don’t Forget the Little Things

These are easy to overlook but make a big difference:

• Sunscreen (travel size for your bag)
• Blister bandaids
• Socks (extra pair!)
• Sports bras
• Rain layer or small umbrella
• Hair ties, visors and dry shampoo

Pack Smart, Play Happy

Golf trips should feel fun, not frantic. With the right mix of pieces, you can look cute, feel comfortable and spend less time worrying about outfits and more time enjoying the game.

Remember: you’re there to play golf, laugh a lot, maybe miss a few putts and make memories. Your outfits should support the vibe, not steal the spotlight.

Here’s to great swings, comfy skorts and trips that always feel one round too short. 💚
