Updated on: October 1, 2026

Author: Graeme

Exploring the brands women golfers turn to when Foray's American sizing, import charges and no-exchange returns don't suit a UK order.

How We Review Golf Clothing Brands

Every review on the Three Putt journal is written by Graeme Whiles, the founder of Three Putt Golf Clothing. As a competing brand, we have an obvious conflict of interest. We take this seriously and address it directly in our review methodology, which explains how we assess brands consistently regardless of whether they compete with us.

Top Picks

1. Röhnisch: Best overall alternative from a women-only golf brand
2. Swing Out Sister: Best for British women's golf in British sizes
3. Chervò: Best for technical women's golfwear and proper waterproofs
4. Lululemon Golf: Best for women's golfwear with UK stores and free returns
5. Macade Golf: Best for design-led women's golfwear with duties paid
6. Island Green Golf: Best for a full ladies' kit on a budget
7. Three Putt Golf: Best for golf streetwear off the course

Why People Look Beyond Foray Golf

UK women look beyond Foray Golf mainly because buying it from Britain is a gamble. Its American size chart stops at a US 14, UK orders carry FedEx delivery and possible import charges, and returns go back to South Carolina at your cost, with no exchanges. It also makes no waterproofs.

Foray Golf is a New York women's golf label founded in 2016 by Megan LaMothe, who spent five years at Victoria's Secret. The name comes from her daughter, Rae. Its About page puts the case simply: "For too long, women's golf clothing asked players to compromise." The clothes back that up, with Italian jersey Core polos carrying UPF 50, shorts included with every skirt and dress, and prints made in runs of 25 to 250 pieces.

Size is the first gap. Foray's body chart runs from XXS (US 00) to XL (US 14), a 29 to 41-inch chest, in inches or centimetres but with no UK sizes. Many Core styles add an XXL, most new Fall-Winter 2026 pieces stop at XL, and nothing goes beyond XXL.

Cost and paperwork come next. UK visitors see pounds, converted at about $1.30 to £1 and rounded up, so the Core Sleeveless Polo shows at £76. Orders go by FedEx Ground at a rate set at checkout, and Foray's FAQ says it won't credit shipping, customs or duty fees.

Returns are the hardest part. UK buyers email for a returns number, then post the parcel to South Carolina at their own cost within seven days of asking, or the refund may become store credit. There are no exchanges, which Foray puts down to the limited-edition nature of its clothes, and anything discounted by more than 40% is final sale. Add no waterproofs and no UK stockist in October 2026, and every order is an import. Each brand below fixes at least one of those problems.

Detailed Breakdown by Brand

Röhnisch: Best Overall Alternative from a Women-Only Golf Brand

Available on: rohnisch.com

Key Features:

• Swedish women-only brand founded in 1945, with an all-female design team since 2000 and golf clothing since 2002
• Swedish investment company Creades owned 82% of it in mid-2026, and its website features 2018 Women's British Open champion Georgia Hall as an ambassador
• Core tops run XXS–3XL, and the Chie trousers and skort run EU 32–52 (up to a UK 24 on its chart)
• 94% of its AW24 products met its own sustainable-materials criteria, and it has been fluorocarbon-free since 2015

Pros:

• Sizes reach well past Foray's: 3XL on core tops and trousers charted to a UK 24, against a US 14 chart
• A UK site priced in pounds with £12.90 DHL delivery, and Röhnisch says it covers import costs on UK orders over £135
• Free size exchanges within 30 days, where Foray offers no exchanges at all
• Polos ran £55–£106 in October 2026, starting below Foray's £76 Core Sleeveless Polo

Cons:

• No UK free-delivery threshold is listed, and £4.90 comes off refunds on returns
• The AW26 Rain Shield jacket is sold as water-resistant rather than waterproof, so the rain gap stays open
• A cleaner Scandinavian look than Foray's runway prints, and few UK golf retailers stock it

Verdict:

Röhnisch has been making Foray's argument, golf clothes designed by women for women, for more than two decades. It sizes further, sells from a UK store and takes size exchanges. It won't match Foray's prints, but it is far easier to buy from Britain.

Swing Out Sister: Best for British Women's Golf in British Sizes

Available on: swingoutsistergolf.com

Key Features:

• British women's golf brand from Uckfield, East Sussex, that launched its own range in 2016, the year Foray was founded; owned and run by Lucy Dickman
• Built around golf clothes that also work off the course, and known for bold, colourful named prints
• Tops come in three fits (slim, regular and comfort), with trousers and skorts in UK 6–22 and tops in XS–3XL
• Polos, dresses, skorts, trousers, knitwear, gilets, jackets and golf shoes, plus a 13-piece men's capsule called Brother

Pros:

• Real UK dress sizes up to 22, where Foray's chart is American and stops at a US 14
• Free UK exchanges, and standard UK delivery is free over £75 (£4 below), with no customs step
• The Amelie polo is £29.95, well under half the price of Foray's £76 Core Sleeveless Polo
• A 4.7/5 rating from 641 on-site reviews in October 2026

Cons:

• No fully waterproof jacket, so like Foray it won't keep you dry in a downpour
• No certifications or measured sustainability claims, only commitments to more recycled and responsibly sourced fabrics
• A refund return costs £4.50 for the label, and the big UK golf chains don't stock it

Verdict:

Swing Out Sister started the same year as Foray with much the same golfer in mind, and it solves the British half of the problem: UK sizes, pounds and free exchanges. It keeps the colourful prints at a fraction of the price. Neither brand will sell you a waterproof jacket.

Chervò: Best for Technical Women's Golfwear and Proper Waterproofs

Available on: chervo.com

Key Features:

• Italian brand founded in 1982 by brothers Manfred and Peter Erlacher as a Dolomites ski label, moving into golf in the early 1990s
• A named fabric suite: Aqua-Block waterproofing, Wind-Lock, Pro-Therm, Dry-Matic and Sunblock
• An official Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup licensee, with Jenny Shin, Emma Spitz, Alessandra Fanali and Alexandra Försterling on Team Chervò
• Women's polos, dresses, skirts and waterproof trousers, alongside men's and junior lines

Pros:

• Aqua-Block jackets and over-trousers are rated at over 20,000mm with taped seams, where Foray sells no waterproofs
• A UK site with prices in pounds and UK sizes: women's polos in UK 8–20 and waterproof trousers in UK 6–20
• Current tour form: Team Chervò's Jenny Shin won the 2026 Women's Scottish Open at Dundonald Links
• Merino-cashmere knitwear and Italian tailoring that work in the clubhouse as well as on the course

Cons:

• Dearer: women's polos started at £115.31 in October 2026, against £76 for Foray's Core Sleeveless Polo
• UK orders ship duties-unpaid under its terms, so, as with Foray, the courier may ask for import VAT and duties
• A €65 return fee and no direct exchanges, so a wrong size is costly here too

Verdict:

Chervò is the technical answer to Foray, with ski-bred fabrics, properly rated waterproofs and current women's tour pedigree. It sells in UK sizes, but it costs more and shares Foray's duties and exchange problems. Buy it for the rain kit, and be sure of your size first.

Lululemon Golf: Best for Women's Golfwear with UK Stores and Free Returns

Available on: lululemon.co.uk · Read our full Lululemon Golf review

Key Features:

• Vancouver activewear company whose "Designed for Golf" line launched in spring 2022
• Its 2025 women's launch was its largest golf assortment yet, with polo dresses, box-pleat skirts and technical layers
• Women's Quick-Dry polos in three sleeve lengths, skirts, a sleeveless polo dress and golf trousers, using Swiftly Tech and Nulu fabrics
• Lydia Ko was its LPGA ambassador from 2019 until around 2024, and PGA Tour players Min Woo Lee and Max Homa signed in 2024 and 2025

Pros:

• More than 20 UK stores handle returns, exchanges and free trouser hemming in person, where a Foray return goes to South Carolina
• Free delivery over £50 and free returns within 30 days
• Women's polos cost £58–£78 and skirts £88–£108 in October 2026, below Foray's £97–£131 skirts
• A Quality Promise that repairs or replaces faulty gear beyond the return window

Cons:

• The UK site sells in US sizes, as Foray does
• No waterproof jacket in the women's golf edit in October 2026; the taped Waterproof Golf Jacket sits in the men's range
• Headwear and hemmed or altered items can't be returned

Verdict:

Lululemon fixes the after-sales side of buying Foray from Britain, with UK stores, free delivery over £50 and free returns. It's an activewear brand extended into golf rather than a women's golf label, so the look is quieter than Foray's prints. It doesn't close the rain gap for women either.

Macade Golf: Best for Design-Led Women's Golfwear with Duties Paid

Available on: eu.macadegolf.com · Read our full Macade Golf review

Key Features:

• Stockholm brand founded in 2019, pairing performance fabrics with Scandinavian design, and says it has clothed more than 150,000 golfers
• Women's polos, sleeveless tops, knits, trousers, skirts, skorts and dresses, alongside a full men's line
• HydroCore waterproofs added in September 2026: a 3-layer jacket and trousers rated to 20,000mm, for men and women, with a PFAS-free finish
• Its tour team includes Gabriella Then on the LPGA Tour and Ewen Ferguson on the DP World Tour

Pros:

• All orders ship DDP, with VAT and duties included at checkout, where Foray leaves import charges with the buyer
• Free standard UK delivery, plus free UK returns and size exchanges within 30 days
• Women's skirts listed at £70–£85 and dresses at £110–£155 in October 2026, below Foray's £97–£131 skirts
• A 20,000mm waterproof jacket (£295) for women, a category Foray doesn't sell

Cons:

• Women's sizes run XS–XL only, a narrower run than Foray's XXS to XXL
• Trustpilot showed 3.8 from 78 reviews in October 2026, with complaints about slow refunds
• Returns go through FedEx, DHL Express or PostNord service points and are usually processed within 14 working days

Verdict:

Macade offers a similar design-first wardrobe with the buying problems removed: duties paid, free delivery and free returns. Its skirts cost less than Foray's, and HydroCore covers the rain. The catch is a shorter size run, so it won't help anyone Foray already doesn't fit.

Island Green Golf: Best for a Full Ladies' Kit on a Budget

Available on: islandgreengolf.co.uk

Key Features:

• UK golf clothing brand established in 2014, designing in-house at its North West England headquarters
• An in-house brand of Manchester distributor Pan World Brands, sold on its own site and through GolfOnline
• Ladies' Classic Micro-pique polos, straight-leg trousers with 28, 30 and 32-inch legs, capris, a skort and Bermuda shorts, all in sizes 8–20
• Ladies' outerwear includes a £69.95 stretch waterproof and a £74.50 padded quilted jacket

Pros:

• Ladies' polos list at £22.99, less than a third of Foray's £76 Core Sleeveless Polo
• A ladies' waterproof jacket, a category Foray doesn't sell
• Free returns within 30 days, free delivery over £70 (£3.99 below) and same-day dispatch on weekday orders before noon
• UK sizes and prices in pounds, with no customs step

Cons:

• No waterproof rating is published, and there are no exchanges: you return the item and reorder
• Specs are thin: fabric compositions appear on some pieces but not on the core polos
• No design story to rival Foray's, and one 2018 Golf Monthly forum post said pieces lose their shape over time

Verdict:

Island Green is the value floor. It dresses a woman for the round, waterproof included, at a fraction of Foray's prices, in UK sizes with free returns. Nobody buys it for the design, and the quality reports are mixed, but it does the job.

Three Putt Golf: Best for Golf Streetwear Off the Course

Available on: threeputtgolfclothing.co.uk

Key Features:

• Leeds-based UK golf streetwear brand selling tees, long-sleeve tees, sweatshirts and hoodies
• Six graphic designs across all four garments: Contours, Happy Place, Tee Time, Reckless Driving, The Scenic Route and Three on the Green
• Tees in 305gsm, 100% cotton with a relaxed fit, S–2XL, in five colourways per design
• Oversized drop-shoulder hoodies at 430gsm (56% cotton, 44% polyester), S–2XL, in four colourways per design

Pros:

• Free UK delivery from a UK site priced in pounds, with no FedEx charge or customs step
• Tees at £24.99–£30.99 and hoodies at £45.99–£54.99, well under the £77–£181 Foray charges for layers and outerwear
• 400gsm cotton crewneck sweatshirts (£37.99–£47.99) and loose 305gsm long-sleeve tees (£28.99–£35.99) for after the round

Cons:

• No women's-specific range or cut: tees run S–3XL and everything else S–2XL, and there are no polos, skirts, trousers or outerwear
• Cotton streetwear rather than technical kit, with no moisture-wicking, stretch fabric or weather protection
• Returns within 14 days of delivery: email support@threeputtgolfclothing.co.uk first, and you pay the return postage

Verdict:

Foray exists to dress women for golf, and a brand with no women's range can't replace it. What Three Putt offers is the off-course layer, a tee or hoodie, from a UK brand with free UK delivery. Golfers at clubs with a collared-shirt dress code will need a polo from elsewhere.

Quick Comparison Grid

Brand	Best For	Price Range	Sustainability
Foray Golf	Fashion-led women's golf clothing from New York	£££	None: no sustainability claims or certifications, though it names its manufacturing countries
Röhnisch	Women's golf from a women-only brand	£££	High: 94% of AW24 products met its sustainable-materials criteria; fluorocarbon-free since 2015; nominated fabric suppliers Bluesign or Oeko-Tex certified
Swing Out Sister	UK sizes up to 22 with free exchanges	££	Low: commitments to more recycled and responsibly sourced fabrics, no certifications named
Chervò	Technical golfwear and rated waterproofs	££££	Low: a few pieces carry a "Recycle" tag, with no wider programme
Lululemon Golf	UK stores and free returns	£££	Mixed: 77% recycled polyester in 2024, but targets rolled back in late 2025
Macade Golf	Design-led kit with duties paid	£££	Minimal: BCI cotton in one knit hoodie and a PFAS-free finish on HydroCore
Island Green Golf	A full ladies' kit on a tight budget	£	None: no sustainability claims on its own site
Three Putt Golf	Golf streetwear for off the course	£–££	No recycled-content or eco claims; tees are 100% cotton

Summary

Foray is a serious women's golf brand. The fabrics are good, every skirt comes with shorts, and verified buyers rate the Core pieces 4.9/5.

The trouble for UK golfers is everything around the clothes. There's an American size chart that stops at a US 14 and FedEx delivery with import charges left to you. Returns go to South Carolina at your cost, there are no exchanges, and there are no waterproofs.

Röhnisch wins because it makes the same women-first case with bigger sizes and a UK store. Swing Out Sister brings UK sizes up to 22 and free exchanges, Chervò the waterproofs, Lululemon the UK stores and Macade duties-paid delivery. Island Green covers a full kit on a budget, and Three Putt the off-course layer, though it has no women's range.

If Foray fits you and you love a print, buy it, but measure first and budget for delivery and import charges. For more British labels, see our guide to UK golf brands.

Frequently Asked Questions About Foray Golf

Does Foray Golf ship to the UK?

Yes. UK visitors see prices in pounds, orders ship within two business days, and FedEx Ground takes 5–10 business days to deliver internationally. Delivery is priced at checkout. Foray's FAQ says it won't credit shipping, customs or duty fees, so budget for import charges on arrival. The US free-delivery threshold doesn't apply to UK orders.

What size range does Foray Golf offer?

Foray's body chart runs from XXS (US 00) to XL (US 14), a 29 to 41-inch chest and 34 to 43-inch hip, in inches or centimetres. It gives no UK sizes, but a US size is usually about four below the UK one. Many Core styles add an XXL, most Fall-Winter 2026 pieces stop at XL, and many skirts come in regular or tall lengths.

Can I return Foray Golf from the UK?

Yes, within 30 days of delivery, unworn and with tags, but at your own cost. You email for a returns number, then post the parcel to Ladson, South Carolina within seven days of asking. Shipping, duties and taxes aren't refunded, there are no exchanges, and anything discounted by more than 40% is final sale. Faulty items are covered within 14 days, even on final sale.

Who founded Foray Golf?

Megan LaMothe, who started Foray in New York in 2016 after a fashion career that included five years at Victoria's Secret. She is still founder and CEO, and the company describes itself as a small, independent, women-owned business. The name comes from her daughter, Rae.

Does Foray Golf make waterproofs?

No. Its layers run to knits, a scuba neoprene bomber, an insulated hybrid jacket and the Fall-Winter 2026 Double Layer Anorak (£170). The anorak has a water-resistant shell, not a waterproof one. For British rain, Chervò's Aqua-Block, Macade's HydroCore and Island Green's £69.95 ladies' stretch waterproof all fill the gap.

Is Foray Golf sustainable?

Foray makes no sustainability claims and publishes no certifications. It does name its manufacturing partners' countries: Italy, Sri Lanka, Portugal, Korea, China and the United States. Fashion pieces are made in runs of 25 to 250 and not restocked. Its sourcing page is ForayMade, a custom-product service for clubs and companies, not a supply-chain disclosure.

Can I buy Foray Golf in a UK shop?

No UK golf retailer listed Foray in October 2026, including American Golf, Scottsdale Golf, Function18, Clubhouse Golf, GolfOnline and TRENDYGOLF UK. TRENDYGOLF's US store carries it, and Foray says many US clubs and resorts do too. If you want to try before you buy, Lululemon has UK stores.
