As a beginner golfer, finding the right set of clubs that combine ease of use, comfort, and performance is essential. After testing the MacGregor CG4000 Ladies Package Set, here’s my review on how it stacks up as the best beginner golf clubs for ladies who are just starting out in the game.
Right away, it’s clear this set has been designed with beginners in mind. The clubs are lightweight and forgiving, making it easy for someone new to golf to handle them. The complete set includes all the essentials – driver, fairway wood, hybrid, 7-SW irons and putter, plus a very user-friendly golf bag, making it a sensible choice among the best women’s golf sets.
I was happy to see the blue design, as it is a nice alternative to the classic pink seen across a lot of women’s golf sets. The matching head covers make the set look cohesive, with the clubheads and shafts having a pop of colour.
Best picks for you
The driver has a 13-degree loft and a large head, which immediately gave me confidence on the tee. As someone that struggles with alignment, I also found the aid the aid on the top of the crown to a helpful addition.
Fortunately the clubface has multiple sweet spots, so this helped to make up for my imperfect swings. I found this driver easy to swing and managed to hit the ball consistently off the tee with solid distance and accuracy.

To be honest, I’m still at the stage where I find fairway woods to be quite intimidating. However, I really like the 18 degree wood, it feels really nicely balanced and I was surprised how effortless it was to launch strong shots. Like the driver, it’s a forgiving wood and paired with the alignment aid, this helped my performance off the tee, the fairway and even from light rough.
The hybrid is a game-changer, my favorite! I admit, it did take me a while to get used to it, but after a number of shots, I found it easy to get the ball airborne and hit it with confidence from a variety of lies. I was most impressed by the control this club offers, which made a huge difference in my distance and accuracy.

The irons have a cavity-back design for maximum forgiveness and this meant that I could still hit decent shots even if I didn’t make perfect contact. They are also lightweight and well-balanced, so I didn’t feel like I was overexerting myself on every swing.

Like the irons, the putter is nicely weighted. It’s a mallet style, and I found it very comfortable to hold. As a beginner, I cannot yet compare this putter with the best women’s putters on the market, but I found it easy enough to swing the club back and through and it produced a smooth roll off the face. With a clear alignment aid, this also made it easy to line up putts and gain confidence on the greens.

The set comes with a golf bag in a striking light blue, navy and white colorway and it’s lightweight and well-designed. As someone shorter, it has a comfortable shoulder strap that makes carrying the clubs easy without feeling it may brush the ground. It also has plenty of room to store all your golfing accessories.
Overall, for anyone starting out, the MacGregor CG4000 Ladies Package Set is a fantastic choice. It has made my golf journey more enjoyable and accessible.
