We’ve picked out some of the best golf skorts for 2026 with first-hand reviews…
This is a skort that I absolutely love. G/FORE is such a cool brand; it sits in that premium, fashion-led space within golf, bringing a more modern, slightly edgier feel compared to traditional golf wear. It definitely leanstowards a younger, style-conscious market – although I’m in my 40s and felt great in it.
The fit is really flattering. It’s a pull-on style with a structured waistband (with the signature G/FORE branding), and the fabric has a nice amount of stretch while still holding its shape. It’s lightweight, comfortable and perfect for warmer days.
I particularly like the slight split, which gives you extra movement, and the built-in shorts are really comfortable. The pockets are great too, easy to access and secure despite not having zips.
It is quite a streamlined fit, so it shows your shape more than some skorts, something to bear in mind depending on preference.
PROS
Stylish, premium look and feel – feel super cool on the course
Lightweight with good stretch and movement
Practical pockets and comfortable inner shorts
CONS
More fitted style may not suit everyone
RRP: £135
Sizes: XS-XL
Colours: Knockout pink, twilight, onyx, snow and clover
I really loved this skort — the length is absolutely spot on for me. It’s not too short, which means you feel comfortable and covered when bending down to take a shot, but it still looks stylish and flattering.

The fit is true to size (I wore a 12), and the fabric has a great amount of stretch, so it moves easily with you throughout the round. The built-in shorts are excellent too — they stay in place and don’t ride up, which I’ve found can be an issue with other skorts.
There are two zipped pockets which are great for keeping essentials secure, although I did find myself instinctively reaching for a back pocket which isn’t there.
The cheetah print is fun and a bit different, but there are plenty of other colour options if you prefer something more understated. I also love that you can personalise it, my version wasn’t but this could be a really nice touch.
PROS
Flattering, comfortable length
Great stretch and true to size
Secure zipped pockets and non-riding shorts
CONS
No back pocket
RRP: £85.00
Sizes: 8-18
Colours: Navy, light blue flowers, navy/white gingham, navy/raspberry mosaic, linen mosaic and linen/black cheetah
Peter Millar is definitely one of the more premium brands in golf, and you can tell straight away with this skort; everything feels considered, from the fabric to the fit.
I absolutely love this skort. It has a really nice ‘swing’ feel to it when you walk, which makes it feel a bit more elevated than a standard skort. It is the shortest one I’ve reviewed, so some may prefer a little more length, but I never felt uncomfortable or exposed throughout my round (and I’m 173cm for reference). The built-in shorts are secure and stay in place.
The fabric is incredibly lightweight and soft, with plenty of stretch, so it’s very easy to play in. The colour is lovely too, a softer blue that feels like a nice change from traditional navy.
Pockets are really well thought through. You’ve got a back pocket, easy-access side pockets, and even an interior pocket within the shorts which is perfect for keeping valuables secure.
Out of the packaging, this skort is so soft and stretchy. It’s made with at least 50% recycled materials, 85% polyester and 15% elastane.
The wide elasticated waistband sits nicely without rolling down. I wore this skort in a small which is my standard size. Sometimes I opt to size down in skorts, i was a bit inbetween with this one but the small was a comfort fit and stayed up nicely.
I’m 5ft 9 and found the 16 inch skirt length to sit at a good length. I liked that there was plenty of pocket options with two at the front, one on the back and two on the under shorts.
Overall, i think this is a great basic for summer and with plenty of colourways to choose from you can’t go wrong.
PROS:
Nice shape
Comfortable material
Plenty of colourways
CONS:
Wind might cause the bottom parts to flap
Sizes: XXS-XLL
Colours: White Glow, Deep Navy, Mint Jelly, Puma Black & Royal Sapphire

This skort is an absolute wardrobe stable. It’s got an updated wide elasticated waistband that sits well without curling over. It’s constructed from an 84% Polyamide / 16% Elastane Blend that offers a four-way stretch.
This skort is very stretchy so it’s comfortable to be in all day as well as to play in. The shaping it very flattering when on. I wore this in an extra small. I tend to be a uk8 in bottoms but find in skorts I can size down due to the flexible waistband. I’m 5ft 9 and this is a 15” inch lengthskort, I think it sits at a respectable length, but Travis Mathew does over a long length option too.

Two pockets have been added to the front as well as two additional ones on the short’s underneath. Overall, I think this is a great staple skort that you could have in multiple colours.
This is a fairly plain white skort that’s brought to life with the 360° pleated design.
The waist band is relatively thin compared to most golf skorts and offers a simple double stripe to add something extra.
The build in under shorts are pretty thick with sweat wicking technology and interior silicone grips to keep them I in place during your round.
The outer skirt is lightweight and floaty, there’s no pockets, but you do get two on the short’s underneath.
In terms of fit I wore a small, this is my typical size but I think I could have sized down as there was still some give in the waistband.
I’m 5ft 9 and found this skort to fit at a respectable length. I did find this sat at a mid to low waist rather than a lot of skorts that are higher waisted.
Out on the course, I enjoyed wearing this skort it was very comfortable and easy to move in. I think the sporty design means it would also work great off the course more casually too.
PROS:
pleating gives simple yet effective touch
pockets in undershorts
lightweight
CONS:
Pleats might not suit everyone
RRP: £65 / $80
Sizes: XS-XXL
Colours: White / Halo Gray, Purple Crest / White, Midnight Navy / White
OMG I absolutely love this skort, I’m definitely more of a skort-and-top person, and this ticks every box.
It’s a pull-on style with a really comfortable elasticated waistband, and the fabric has a lovely amount of stretch. It just moves with you and feels great all-round. It’s slightly thicker than some skorts, but for me that actually works in its favour as it holds everything where you want and gives a really flattering shape.
The fit is spot on (I wore a 12), and I love the little pleat detail at the back, this adds a bit of movement and makes it feel more styled than your standard skort.
Pockets are brilliant, deep front pockets plus a back pocket (which is a must for me). It also has built-in shorts, so it feels secure and easy to play in.
The detailing on the waistband is a really nice touch too. I’ll definitely be buying more colours.

PROS
Flattering fit with structure that feels secure, yet brilliant stretch
Practical pockets, including back pocket!
Stylish details with pleats and waistband
CONS
Slightly thicker fabric may feel warm on very hot days – but not a worry for me, still 5/5!
RRP: £70.00
Sizes: 6-20
Colours: Navy, White, Aruba Blue, Pink Blossom, Pebble, Infinity Blue, Turquoise and Black
This skort gives summer with its bold and colourful design. It has an elasticated waist band that has a decent width, so it doesn’t roll over. Grip tape is a great addition to the shorts to keep them from moving during your round, grippy enough with digging in. Pockets are on the front of the skort as well as being built into the shorts.
In terms of fit I’m 5ft 9 and this is a 17” skort, which sat at a nice length. I wore a small which is my standard size, there was a little slack in the waistband so possibly could have sized down for a tighter fit.
Its stretchy make up is very comfortable and lightweight. It comes with UPF 50+ sun protection, so it really is a great garment for those sunny days.
A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.
Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.
Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.
Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.
With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
