Best Women’s Eyewear & Sunglasses for Golf

Finding the right pair of sunglasses can be tricky. Finding the perfect pair of sunglasses for golf can be even harder.

From sporty styles to fashion-forward favorites, this list ranges in price point and even includes lenses that can be fixed with a prescription. Behold, your guide to all things golf and eyewear.

A few things to keep in mind when scouting for shades: firstly, pay attention to the frame’s size and shape, notably how it sits on the face through the swing, particularly if the brand uses unisex sizings, which don’t always fit women the same way. Most sports sunglasses offer a wraparound style that protects more of your eye and skin from the sun beaming down or reflecting off water hazards and bunkers. Golfing sunglasses often use technology-packed tints and lightweight lenses to aid depth perception and course readability. Another great golf pasttime is the infamous polarized versus non-polarized debate–both sides of which have their pros, so it could come down to personal preference. You might even want a polarized pair for very sunny days and post-round hangs, and a non-polarized pair for green-reading and serious play. We’ve made sure to highlight any lens treatments below to help you make the decision that’s right for you.
And finally, why wear sunglasses at all? Well, UV (read: ultraviolet) light makes up about 10% of all sunlight that can harm your eyes even as it’s accrued on a daily basis. So, it’s a good idea to wear sunglasses as a habit—even when it might not seem like it’s particularly sunny out as clouds only absorb about 10% of UV light. Investing time in finding a quality pair that fits your game is worth it. After all, the healthier the eyes, the longer you’ll be able to keep playing.

RIA Eyewear Versa [Golf HD+]
All of the brand’s made-for-golf sunglasses are unisex, but this style is a bit smaller, with adjustable temples and a snugger fit, designed for slimmer faces if you’ve often found that men’s eyewear sits too large on the face. The non-polarized glasses are packed with technology, including a copper-rose tint that ups the contrast on the greens to discern subtleties, as well allowing you to track your ball through the air without needing to squint.
