What Are the Best Golf Bottoms for Tall Women?
Last Updated: November 1, 2026
Quick Summary
Comfortable golf bottoms for tall women come down to three numbers: inseam, rise, and hem width. Check the size chart for inseam measurements and whether the inseam varies by size, since you do not need a special tall collection for a full-length fit. A higher rise plus a longer inseam gives tall golfers both waist coverage and leg length.
- Measure your best-fitting pants flat from the crotch seam to the hem, then compare that number to the size chart.
- A golf shoe adds height, so a pant that grazes the floor in socks will sit at the ankle in spikes.
- The Putter Girl Pants are full length with a 2.4-inch high waistband and four-way stretch.
- The Winter Golf Pants have tapered legs with inseams that vary by size and an internal drawstring waistband.
- The Bermuda Slim Short is a 21-inch longer-length short in a polyester-spandex blend with four pockets.

What Tall Women Actually Need From Golf Bottoms
Finding comfortable golf bottoms for tall women comes down to three numbers: inseam, rise, and hem width. Get those right and fabric and pockets start working as they should; get them wrong and you spend 18 holes tugging at a waistband or watching a hem ride up mid-backswing.
At Putter Girl, we build golf bottoms for women across a full size range, and the most common complaint from taller players is length, not style. A pant that hits the top of the shoe on a 5'4" golfer can sit above the ankle on someone 5'10".
You do not need a special tall collection for a proper full-length fit. Read the size chart for inseam measurements, check whether the inseam changes between sizes, and know what rise you want.
The Inseam Numbers That Decide the Fit
Inseam runs from the crotch seam to the hem and determines whether a pant looks full-length or lands around mid-calf. Measure a pair you already own that fits well, then compare that number to the size chart.
A few practical rules we would give a friend:
- Measure flat, not on your body. Lay your best-fitting pants flat, measure from the crotch seam straight down to the hem, and write the number down.
- Check whether inseam varies by size. Some pants cut one inseam for the whole range; check the size chart for the style you choose.
- Account for shoes. A golf shoe adds height, so a pant that grazes the floor in socks will sit at the ankle in spikes.
- Watch the rise. A higher rise adds waist coverage but shortens the leg line, so a tall golfer often wants both a higher rise and a longer inseam.
Golf Pants With Long Inseam: What to Check Before You Buy
Golf pants with long inseam options are the most reliable route to a full-length fit, but length alone is not enough. A long inseam on a fabric that will not stretch through the hip pulls across the thigh at the top of the backswing. Look for four-way stretch, a waistband that stays put, and a hem that does not drag.
Two styles in our lineup suit different seasons.
Putter Girl Pants: Full Length, 4-Way Stretch, $74
Our full-length Putter Girl Pants are full length with a 2.4-inch high waistband. The fabric is 80% polyamide and 20% elastane with four-way stretch, so the leg moves with you through the swing.
The details that matter for a longer leg:
- Full length with a split hem. The split hem adds a unique design style.
- 2.4-inch high waistband. Pull-on closure, tummy control, and a smooth silhouette that stays in place when you bend to read a putt.
- Three deep pockets. Two front and one rear right, sized for golf balls or a phone.
- UPF 50+. Featured with UV protection performance.
The Winter Golf Pants: Tapered Legs With Size-Varied Inseams, $79
Cold-weather golf is where most tall golfers give up and wear whatever is warm, fit be damned. Our women's winter golf pants feature a soft fleece lining and a water-repellent finish that handles light rain and snow.
The tapered legs come with inseams that vary by size, with inseams that vary by size. The high waistband has an internal drawstring for a secure fit that holds through a swing and a squat. Four pockets, two front and two back, hold a phone, keys, tees, and a ball marker.
They come in Dark Grey and Carolina Blue and work from the first tee to the office to the airport, so one pair does double duty all autumn and winter.
Women's Golf Skorts for Tall Women: Coverage Without the Ride-Up
If you want the built-in-short approach, the Capris Skort pairs a skirt with a capri-length inner pant in 100% nylon, with two side pockets and a stretch waistband. For a longer-length option, see our A Little Long Black Skirt.
Comfortable Golf Shorts for Women: Longer Lengths That Still Look Sharp
Comfortable golf shorts for women usually fail on one of two counts: too short to feel covered when you bend over a putt, or so stiff that the hem cuts into your thigh on the downswing. Longer lengths solve the first problem. Stretch solves the second.
Our Bermuda Slim Short is a 21-inch longer-length short in a polyester-spandex blend, with two front and two back pockets and a side zip for a clean, slim line. Our stretchy, breathable golf shorts come in a nylon-spandex blend with quick-dry performance, a high waistband, two spacious pockets, and five colorways, with a little extra length built in (see Size Chart).
| Style | Length | Fabric | Pockets | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bermuda Slim Short | 21 in | Polyester/spandex | 4 | Tall golfers wanting knee-length coverage |
| Spring Shorts | Longer cut, see size chart | 78% nylon, 22% spandex | 2 | Hot-weather rounds, quick dry |
| Capris Skort | Capri length | 100% nylon | 2 side | Skirt styling with full coverage |
| Putter Girl Pants | Full length | 80% polyamide, 20% elastane | 3 | Year-round full-length wear |
| Winter Golf Pants | Full length, tapered | 75% polyester, 25% spandex, fleece lined | 4 | Cold-weather rounds |
Golf Bottoms With Pockets: What Fits a Phone, Tees and a Scorecard
Pocket depth matters when you carry a phone, tees and a scorecard on the course.
Here is what to check before you commit, with the tall golfer in mind:
- Depth over count. Two deep front pockets beat four shallow ones. Our Putter Girl Pants have deep pockets sized for golf balls or cell phones.
- Rear pocket size and angle. A rear pocket should fit a scorecard flat without folding it in half, and sit high enough that you are not sitting on the card when you crouch to read a putt.
- Closure type. Zippered side pockets, like those on The Hattie Short, keep tees and balls secure through a cart ride.
- Hidden pockets on skorts. The Tea Leaf Skirted Leggings carry two deep side pockets in the outer skirt and two hidden pockets in the inner leggings.
- Pocket placement relative to rise. A high-rise waistband moves the front pockets up. If the pocket opening lands under a belly fold or a belt line, it will gap open when you sit in the cart.
Watch out: a stretch waistband with no drawstring can creep down over 18 holes if you keep a phone in your pocket. The Winter Golf Pants have an internal drawstring on the high waistband.
Pocket count is the easy number to compare. Pocket depth, placement, and closure are what decide whether you notice them at all by the back nine.
Fabric, Waistbands and Care: What Keeps Tall Golf Bottoms Comfortable
Four-way stretch moves in every direction, which is what you want through a full swing.
Matching Fabric to the Round
- Cool and cold rounds. A fleece-lined or brushed-back fabric adds warmth without bulk. Our Winter Golf Pants use a soft fleece lining with a water-repellent finish.
Waistband Construction
The Putter Girl Pants have a 2.4-inch high waistband with a pull-on closure.
Care and Durability
Wash performance fabrics with like colors.
- Hem wear. A longer inseam means more fabric near the shoe, and a hem that drags will fray faster. A split hem or a slightly tapered leg reduces contact with the ground and the shoe collar.
- Pilling at the thigh. Where the legs meet, a longer leg creates more friction. A tighter knit or a smooth-faced fabric resists pilling better than a brushed one.
- Color fade. Dark colors show wear at the seat and thigh first. Washing inside out and avoiding high heat slows that.

Frequently Asked Questions
What golf pants are best for tall women?
Start with full-length pants that state the inseam per size rather than a single number for the whole range. Putter Girl Pants ($74) are full length with a 4-way stretch polyamide-elastane blend, a 2.4-inch high waistband and a split hem. For cold mornings, The Winter Golf Pants ($79) add a fleece lining, water-repellent fabric and tapered legs with inseams that vary by size.
Where can tall women find golf bottoms with a longer inseam?
Look for a size chart that lists inseam by size instead of a single average, and check whether the hem is finished straight or split, since a split hem hangs longer over the shoe. The Winter Golf Pants list inseams that vary by size, so you can match your measurement to the right size before ordering.
Are golf skorts comfortable for tall women?
They can be, as long as the inner short or legging is long enough to stay put when you bend to read a putt. Skirted options solve the length problem by adding coverage below the skirt: the Tea Leaf Skirted Leggings ($59) pair a high-rise A-line skirt with full-length inner leggings and four pockets, and the Sassy Skirted Leggings ($39) use ankle-length leggings with two hidden pockets. The Capris Skort ($55) adds a capri-length built-in pant.
How long should golf pants be for a tall woman?
Aim for a hem that grazes the top of your shoe without pooling, then check it in a golf stance rather than standing straight, because the swing and the crouch to read a green both change where the hem sits. Measure the inseam on a pair you already own that fits, and compare that number to the size chart before ordering.
What should tall women look for in golf bottoms with pockets?
Depth matters more than the number of pockets. Shallow pockets spill a phone the moment you crouch, so check that front pockets are described as deep. Putter Girl Pants have two front pockets and one rear pocket sized for golf balls or a phone, and The Winter Golf Pants carry four pockets, two front and two back. The Tea Leaf Skirted Leggings go further with four pockets, two deep side pockets on the skirt and two hidden in the leggings.
Getting the fit right should not require a research project. Putter Girl carries full-length pants with four-way stretch, winter pants with size-varied inseams, longer-length shorts, and skorts with built-in coverage, all in inclusive sizing and at prices that leave room for a second pair. Browse the collection and find the length that finally works for your leg, then get back to thinking about your swing instead of your hem.
