Most guides to women's golf gloves send you to the same shortlist: TaylorMade, Callaway, FootJoy. Competent gloves, all of them, and all available at any big-box golf store. But if you want a glove that feels like genuine leather, coordinates with your outfit, and comes from a brand your playing partners haven't seen, that shortlist runs out fast.
This guide covers the best women's golf gloves across every price point and material, from a $25 performance pair to genuine lambskin and hand-warming sheepskin. Erthe Golf curates women's gloves from nine brands across Korea, Japan, France, and beyond, so the edit below is built around feel and design, not just what a mass retailer happened to stock.

How to Choose a Women's Golf Glove
A golf glove is the only piece of equipment that stays connected to the club through your entire swing. Fit and material matter more than most players assume. Two decisions settle almost everything: which hand, and which material.
Which Hand Does a Woman Wear a Golf Glove On?
A right-handed golfer wears the glove on her left hand. The left hand is the lead hand in a conventional grip, so it does the gripping work and takes the wear. A left-handed golfer wears the glove on her right hand. If you're buying a single glove, this is the one detail you cannot get wrong. For the full explanation, see our guide to which hand a golf glove goes on.
Leather vs. Synthetic: Which Is Right for You
Genuine leather, especially cabretta and lambskin, gives the softest feel and the most direct connection to the grip. It molds to your hand over a few rounds and rewards you with a second-skin fit. Synthetic gloves trade some of that feel for more stretch, better durability, and stronger grip when they get wet. Leather is the feel-and-luxury choice. Synthetic is the all-weather workhorse. Plenty of golfers keep one of each and choose by forecast.
Best Women's Golf Gloves Under $100
This tier is where performance value lives. You don't need to spend six figures on feel to get a glove that grips well and looks sharp.
The entry point is Vice Golf, whose left-hand glove in Flamingo Pink runs $24.99 and delivers clean, no-nonsense performance in a color that reads intentional rather than utilitarian. Vice built its name on cutting the retail markup out of premium gear, and the glove is the clearest expression of that on a small item.
Step up to WAAC, Korea's streetwear-influenced golf label, and the design ambition jumps. The white women's glove at $90 pairs a tailored fit with the clean, considered look WAAC brings to everything. For a genuinely useful detail, the WAAC Ball Marker Glove in Green ($97) builds a magnetic ball marker right into the strap, so you're never digging through your bag on the green.
For breathability in summer heat, Le Coq Sportif brings French sport heritage to the category. The women's mesh glove in white ($105) uses a ventilated mesh back that keeps your hand cool through a full round, which matters more than any spec sheet once the temperature climbs.
Best Leather Women's Golf Gloves ($100 to $170)
This is the tier the mainstream guides skip, and it's where the most rewarding gloves live. Genuine leather changes how a glove feels in your hand from the first swing.
Lanvin Blanc sits at the top of this range. Produced in Korea under license from Lanvin Paris, its women's lambskin glove in black ($151) is the quiet-luxury pick: buttery lambskin, precise stitching, and a finish that reads as a fashion accessory rather than sporting goods. This is a glove you notice every time you put it on. Explore the rest of the range in the Lanvin Blanc collection.
Pearly Gates, Japan's most design-forward golf label, brings two strong options here. The Contrast-Line glove in Violet ($110) is the color-coordination play, a leather glove with a trim detail that pulls an outfit together. The Mesh Ribbon glove in Black ($166) is the more expressive choice, combining leather with a ventilated ribbon back and the restrained branding Japanese golf brands execute so well.
If you want color options without leaving the leather-quality tier, Golden Bear, the Jack Nicklaus heritage brand, makes a women's color glove in Light Pink ($127) and several other shades. It's the practical answer to the "coordinate with my outfit" question, backed by a name with real institutional weight in the sport.
Premium and Cold-Weather Women's Golf Gloves
Two gloves in Erthe's edit exist nowhere else in this SERP, and both solve the problem every other guide ignores: playing when it's cold.
Munsingwear makes a women's sheepskin glove in Beige ($135) that trades the second-skin feel of cabretta for genuine warmth. Sheepskin insulates in a way performance synthetics can't, which makes this the glove for early-morning tee times and shoulder-season rounds when your hands would otherwise go numb.
For the coldest days, St. Andrews makes a women's Teddy Bear glove in Beige ($207.85), a plush, fully-lined winter glove built for warmth between shots rather than gripping through the swing. It's a genuine cold-weather accessory, and it's the kind of piece that turns a practical purchase into something you actually want to wear.
How a Women's Golf Glove Should Fit
A golf glove should fit like a second skin. Snug across the palm and fingers, with no loose material bunching at the fingertips. If there's extra fabric at the ends of your fingers, size down. If the glove pulls or strains when you close your fist, size up. You want close contact without any sense of restriction.
Golf gloves size by hand circumference, not by your clothing size. To measure, wrap a soft tape around your dominant hand at the widest point across the knuckles, excluding the thumb, and note the measurement. Here's how to use it:
- Measure hand circumference in inches or centimeters across the knuckles
- Check the measurement against the size guide linked on each product page
- When you fall between two sizes, size down for leather (it stretches) and stay true for synthetic
- For Lanvin Blanc gloves specifically, sizing runs from 18 to 24 by hand circumference in centimeters, where 18 is XXS
Brand-by-brand glove sizing varies, and Erthe hasn't published verified measurements for every glove yet. If you're between sizes on any pair, email info@erthegolf.com before ordering and the stylists will size you against the exact glove. That's the fastest way to avoid a return.
FAQ
What hand does a woman wear a golf glove on?
A right-handed golfer wears the glove on her left hand, because the left hand is the lead hand in the swing and does most of the gripping. A left-handed golfer wears the glove on her right hand. If you're buying a single glove as a gift, match the glove hand to her lead hand and you can't go wrong.
Should a golf glove be loose or tight?
A golf glove should fit like a second skin: snug across the palm and fingers with no loose material at the fingertips. If there's extra fabric at the top of the fingers, size down. If the glove pulls or restricts when you make a fist, size up. A correctly fitted glove feels close but never cuts off circulation.
Do women wear one or two golf gloves?
Most women wear a single glove on the lead hand, the same as most men. Some players wear two for extra grip in hot, humid, or wet conditions, which is why brands like WAAC and Golden Bear sell multi-packs and matched pairs. Whether you wear one or two comes down to grip preference and weather, not a rule.
Are leather or synthetic golf gloves better for women?
Genuine leather gloves, especially cabretta and lambskin, give the softest feel and the most direct connection to the grip, and they mold to your hand over time. Synthetic gloves offer more stretch, better durability, and stronger wet-weather grip. Leather is the choice for feel and luxury. Synthetic is the choice for all-weather play. Many golfers keep one of each.
The Right Glove Is the One That Fits Your Game
The best women's golf glove isn't a single model. It's the one matched to how you play: leather for feel, synthetic for all-weather grip, sheepskin for the cold, and a color that makes you reach for it. Erthe carries all of it, from the $25 Vice pair to genuine lambskin and beyond.
