Women in golf at Golfbreaks: 2025 highlights and 2026 goals

Golf should feel welcoming, inclusive and accessible to everyone. Yet many women still face barriers when it comes to getting involved or progressing in the game.

Creating spaces where you feel supported, encouraged and inspired is how we help change that. When more women feel confident to pick up a club, travel to new courses and experience a tournament week, the game grows stronger for everyone.

As the first tour operator to sign the R&A Women in Golf Charter, our commitment goes beyond hosting events. It is about long-term, sustainable change and making sure you can see a place for yourself in golf, whatever your starting point.

For more than 25 years, Golfbreaks has been helping golfers experience the very best of the game. Since launching our Women in Golf initiative in 2019, our focus has been simple: to create meaningful, inclusive and inspiring experiences designed with you in mind.

Whether you are picking up a club for the first time, rediscovering your love for the game, or planning your next bucket list golf break, our women’s events, tournaments and travel experiences are built to help you learn, play, travel and connect.

Our events welcome women of all ages, abilities and backgrounds, from complete beginners to single-figure handicappers.

The Golf Groove Social, March 2025

Sixty women came together in Wimbledon for an evening centred around fun, learning and connection. With coaching from PGA Professionals, interactive games and a relaxed atmosphere, the focus was on building confidence and creating space for women to learn without pressure.

The energy in the room showed what happens when women are given supportive, welcoming environments to explore the game.

"It’s wonderful to see a brand so actively promoting women’s golf and taking real steps to bring women golfers, of all abilities together!" ~ Stacie Bourke

Royal Ascot Photoshoot, April 2025

Representation matters. Women from our Windsor office came together at Royal Ascot Golf Club to create imagery that reflects the real faces of the game. When you see women playing, travelling and enjoying golf, it becomes easier to picture yourself doing the same.

Royal Ascot Women’s Golf Day, May 2025

Hosted in partnership with Women’s Golf Day, this free nine-hole event welcomed women of all abilities. For some, it was their first step onto the course. For others, simply time well spent playing with friends.

Events like this demonstrate how removing cost and intimidation can open the door to more women experiencing golf.

Skratch Birmingham, June 2025

Our first Women in Golf event outside London reached new communities in a relaxed simulator setting. The informal environment helped break down traditional barriers, offering an approachable introduction for those who might not yet feel ready for a full round on the course.

"I love how welcoming these events are. It's great to be in a room with like-minded females who just want to have fun and play some golf!" ~ Shreena Patel

AIG Women’s Open, July 2025

Twenty-two guests joined us at Royal Porthcawl, including fourteen on our first dedicated women’s hosted trip. Alongside championship tickets, guests enjoyed a welcome dinner and a post-tournament round of golf.

The buzz of tournament week, shared conversations and time on the course combined to create a memorable, community-led experience.

Nine and Wine, August 2025

Women from across the Golfbreaks business came together for nine holes at Royal Ascot Golf Club, followed by drinks and conversation. Designed to feel welcoming and relaxed, first-time golfers played alongside more experienced colleagues, reinforcing that ability level does not define belonging.

Golf can be competitive, but it can also simply be about connection.

Pitch Winter Social, November 2025

Fifty women came together at Pitch Canary Wharf for an evening of golf and networking. The atmosphere was lively, supportive and full of shared experience.

For anyone who has ever worried about walking into a room alone, this was proof that you will find people just like you.

"So much fun meeting other like-minded golf girls, I also nearly won nearest the pin! Such a great vibe, with thoughtful goodie bags to top it off! Can't wait for the next event!" ~ Kate Steele

Ladies Love Golf Podcast, December 2025

John Cheetham from Ladies Love Golf visited the Windsor head office to record content in the podcast studio, hosting Q&A sessions with members of the Golfbreaks team. The conversations focused on helping women feel more confident when booking golf trips and navigating golf travel, offering practical guidance and reassurance.

Christmas Golf Range Social, December 2025

2025 concluded with a festive range session for women from the business. With coaching from John Cheetham, fun challenges and a relaxed atmosphere, it was an opportunity to close the year with learning, laughter and connection.

“As a new golfer, the Golfbreaks Womens events are the exactly the kind of thing I love for every lady trying to get into golf. The community spirit at every event is amazing with ladies coming from all around, alone, as part of a group, as a new golfer, as an experienced golfer but you'd not be able to tell this when you look at everyone together on the night, it looks like a group of women who just love golf and have come together to have a great time and get involved with a sport they love.” ~ Hannah Rickerby (Business Owner, CRM Platforms at Golfbreaks)

In 2026, even more opportunities are being created for you to travel, learn and connect.

Ladies Love Golf Events

We will also be supporting several Ladies Love Golf events throughout 2026, continuing to strengthen our partnership and presence within the community. This includes the LLG Summer Social at The Beeches in June, followed by the AIG Women’s Open Retreat in Lytham and Blackpool from 31 July to 3 August.

Later in the year, we will attend the Pairs Event at Tytherington in September. We also plan to support the LLG Gala Dinner, currently expected to take place at Carden Park, with final details to be confirmed. Members of the Golfbreaks team will be attending across these events.

"Our women’s golf events are designed to promote inclusive, community-led golf experiences where women of all ages, abilities and cultures can come together to learn, play and enjoy without pressure or expectation. I love seeing the friendships that form at our women’s events and watching confidence grow in those who’ve stepped outside their comfort zone. So many leave feeling inspired and excited for our next event, with some already planning their next golfing adventure!" ~ Megan Graham (Tournaments Manager at Golfbreaks)

Our ambition for 2026 is to continue building inclusive, community-led women’s golf experiences that help you feel confident, supported and inspired.

Our objectives include:

• Becoming the leading tour operator for female golfers in the UK
• Increasing the number of women booking and travelling with us
• Growing and nurturing a strong, connected community
• Creating a standout collection of inspiring, women-focused events

As signatories of the R&A Women in Golf Charter, we remain committed to creating long-term, sustainable change in the game. In 2026, that means expanding opportunities, strengthening partnerships and continuing to remove barriers so more women can see themselves in golf.

Behind every event and hosted trip is a dedicated team working to grow the women’s game. You can meet the women across the Golfbreaks business who lead and support our Women in Golf initiative here.

Wherever you are on your journey, there is a place for you here.
