We test golf apparel the way we play. Hard, social, and honest.

The athleisure giant takes golf seriously. Best-in-class trousers, boutique prices, and big-brand service, with one surprising weak spot.

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.

Verdict: 8.3/10

Lululemon launched its “Designed for Golf” line in spring 2022, and four years on it’s arguably the most complete crossover offer in the game: 70 men’s and 51 women’s golf items on the UK site, PGA Tour ambassadors in Min Woo Lee and Max Homa, and trousers that swept MyGolfSpy’s testing awards. We liked the fabric tech (ShowZero sweat-concealing polos, Warpstreme ABC trousers), the real UK presence (GBP pricing, 20+ UK stores, free 30-day returns, free hemming), and the on-course-to-office versatility no dedicated golf brand matches.

Where it falls short: premium pricing (£78 polos, £138 golf trousers, £228+ waterproof jacket), golf accessories that amount to one cap and a pouch, caps being excluded from returns, and a UK Trustpilot score for the wider brand that suggests the service machine creaks when things go wrong.

This brand is best for golfers who want one wardrobe that works everywhere, and are happy to pay lululemon money for it.

Key Features

• Signature tech/fabric: Warpstreme four-way stretch (ABC trousers), ShowZero sweat-concealing polos, Silverescent X-Static anti-odour, Metal Vent Tech seamless knits
• Design language: Clean, logo-light athleisure: golf-adapted versions of everyday franchises rather than golf-badge design
• Fit profile: Athletic and true to size, with polos in Slim and Classic fits and trousers in four fits and three inseams
• Range depth: Full men’s and women’s golf edits: polos, trousers, shorts, skirts, a polo dress, layers, and a waterproof jacket

Pros

• The ABC trouser platform is the best in golf: gusseted, four-way stretch, and now in a dedicated £138 golf version with a tee pocket
• Genuine UK operation: GBP pricing, 20+ stores, free 30-day online returns, free trouser hemming for life
• Proven tech: MyGolfSpy verified ShowZero “showed zero sweat” in 99°F heat
• Tour-validated by Min Woo Lee (first male pro signing, 2024) and Max Homa (2025)

Cons

• Premium pricing across the board, with the waterproof jacket at £228–£248
• Golf accessories are nearly nonexistent: no gloves, shoes, or rain trousers
• Caps and other headwear are excluded from returns entirely
• UK Trustpilot (1.9/5) points to slow refunds and patchy service when orders go wrong

Lululemon Golf Pricing

Unusually for this series, every price below is a real UK price from lululemon.co.uk: no conversions, no import fees, free delivery over £50. Full-price consistency is high (£78 polos, £118–£138 trousers), with colour-specific markdowns doing the discounting: the same ShowZero polo runs £78 in current colours and as little as £29 in clearance shades.

Live lululemon.co.uk pricing: Evolution/ShowZero/Logo Sport polos £78 (sale colours £29–£54), Soft Jersey Half Zip £88, Grand Standard Crew £118, ABC trousers £118, ABC Golf Trouser £138, Unshaken shorts £78, Waterproof Golf Jacket £228–£248, Classic Ball Cap £35, Nano Golf Pouch £28. Women’s: polos £58–£78, golf dress £128, box-pleat skirt £108.

Comparison:

• Lululemon vs Three Putt: Different jobs. Lululemon sells £78 technical polos and £138 trousers for the golfer upgrading their whole wardrobe; Three Putt sells UK golf streetwear identity from £31.99. One is performance infrastructure, the other is personality; plenty of golfers run both.
• Lululemon vs Swannies Golf: Swannies is the fun value pick with recycled fabrics at nearly half the price; lululemon out-engineers it everywhere else (trousers, sweat tech, aftercare) and actually operates in the UK.
• Lululemon vs Waggle Golf: Waggle’s $69 duck-print polos and lululemon’s £78 minimalist knits share nothing but a fairway. Waggle for the buddies trip, lululemon for every other day of the week.
• Lululemon vs Redvanly: The closest fight in this series: two premium fabric-first brands. Redvanly’s pull-on tailoring is arguably sharper for the country club; lululemon counters with UK stores, free returns, and a deeper bench of proven tech.

Promos/Outlet Notes: The “We Made Too Much” clearance section refreshes weekly and reaches deep (ShowZero polos from £29, ABC trousers from £54 in select colours), and a UK Summer Sale was live at the time of writing. Student discount via UNiDAYS and Klarna instalments round it out. Full-price items rarely see blanket discounts; the markdowns live in the colourways.

Verdict: 7.2/10

You pay lululemon money, but you pay it in pounds, with free delivery over £50 and free returns, and the WMTM section makes patience genuinely profitable.

Lululemon Golf Fit & Sizing (Usability)

This is the most engineered fit system in golf. The ABC trouser (the initials stand for “anti-ball crushing”, which tells you the design priority) comes in Classic, Relaxed, Skinny, and Slim fits with 30“, 32”, and 34" inseams, and every lululemon store hems trousers free, forever, no receipt required.

Notes:

• Polos/Tees: The Evolution is a slim fit “designed to skim the body”; the ShowZero comes in both Classic and Slim so you can choose; Metal Vent Tech runs seamless with room in the chest and shoulders.
• Midlayers: Soft Jersey and Grand Standard layers run athletic but forgiving; nothing binds mid-swing.
• Trousers/Shorts: Golf Digest’s editors recommend the ABC Classic fit for golf (“more breathing room for the glutes and thighs”); the golf-specific version adds a tee pocket, ventilation, and water resistance.
• Outerwear: The Waterproof Golf Jacket is cut for layering; the Cross Chill leans lifestyle.
• Heat/Humidity: The strongest in the business: ShowZero concealed sweat entirely in MyGolfSpy’s 99°F test, and Metal Vent’s mesh zones earn their name.
• Size Charts: A global size guide exists, but note the UK site sells in US sizes, and per-style size ranges hide behind the size selector.

Accessibility/Range:

• Men’s and women’s golf edits are both genuinely deep: 70 and 51 items respectively on the UK site.
• Relaxed and oversized silhouettes (Daydrift pleated trousers, Oversized Golf Polo) joined the 2025–26 line, broadening beyond slim-fit athleisure.
• The 2025 women’s launch was lululemon’s largest-ever golf assortment: polo dresses, box-pleat skirts, and proper technical pieces rather than shrink-it-and-pink-it.

Verdict: 8.4/10

Four trouser fits, three inseams, two polo cuts, and free lifetime hemming; no dedicated golf brand comes close on fit infrastructure.

Lululemon Golf Core Product Categories

Polos & Tees

Three franchises carry the line: the Evolution (£78, Silverescent anti-odour, slim), the ShowZero (£78, sweat-concealing, Classic or Slim, the newly advanced version headlines the Spring 2026 collection), and the seamless Metal Vent Tech (£54–£78). Women’s Quick-Dry polos run £58–£78 across three sleeve lengths. Quietly excellent, deliberately logo-light: nobody will know what you paid, for better or worse.

Verdict: 8.2/10

Midlayers (crews/hoodies/half-zips)

The Soft Jersey Half Zip (£88) and Grand Standard Crew (£118) are the golf edit’s layers, with the women’s line adding the Define Cropped Jacket (£118) and a high-neck vest. Beautifully made, but a thinner selection than the trouser wall; knitwear lovers will look elsewhere.

Verdict: 7.8/10

Trousers/Shorts

The category lululemon wins outright: it swept MyGolfSpy’s Best Golf Pants and Best Golf Shorts testing. The ABC platform (£118, Warpstreme, 95/5 nylon-elastane in the golf version) now includes a dedicated £138 ABC Golf Trouser with a drop-in tee pocket, phone-and-scorecard pockets, and reflective flip cuffs, alongside Stretch Twill and pleated Daydrift options, £78 Unshaken shorts, and a women’s range of £88–£128 skirts, shorts, and trousers. GolfWRX regulars call the ABC “the most perfect clothing item I have ever purchased.”

Verdict: 9.0/10

Outerwear

The Waterproof Golf Jacket (£228–£248) is a proper taped wet-weather shell and a rare golf-specific build, but it’s the only one, there are no waterproof trousers, and the price is Gore-Tex money without the badge. Vests and cropped layers fill in beneath it.

Verdict: 7.6/10

Caps & Accessories

The line’s blind spot: a £35 Classic Ball Cap and a £28 Clippable Nano Golf Pouch. No gloves, no golf shoes, no headcovers, no umbrellas, and headwear is excluded from returns, so even the cap is a commitment.

Verdict: 6.5/10

Lululemon Golf Materials & Tech (Construction, Sustainability)

No brand in this series has deeper fabric engineering. These are named, patented platforms proven across a decade of athleisure and now tuned for golf, and the supply-chain credentials behind them are equally serious.

Backend (manufacturing & standards):

• Contract manufacturing across Vietnam (~42%), Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and Bangladesh, with a published supplier list.
• Fair Labor Association-accredited social auditing across 100% of final-production factories; ranked #1 apparel company in the KnowTheChain benchmark two years running.
• The Impact Agenda targets 100% “preferred” materials by 2030 (57% achieved by 2023).
• UK repairs run through a partnership with London’s United Repair Centre.

Application (on-garment features):

• Warpstreme (ABC trousers): four-way stretch, quick-dry, wrinkle-resistant; the golf trouser adds water resistance.
• ShowZero: sweat-concealing knit, verified by MyGolfSpy at 99°F and roughly 70% humidity.
• Silverescent powered by X-Static: silver-thread anti-odour in the Evolution polo (a 39/30/16/9/4/2 poly-recycled-poly-nylon-Lyocell-Lycra-X-Static blend).
• Metal Vent Tech: seamless construction with mesh venting zones.
• WovenAir, Swiftly Tech, Nulu appear across shorts and the women’s edit; no UPF claims on golf pieces.

Verdict: 8.8/10

The strongest materials story in golf-adjacent apparel: named tech, third-party-verified performance, and industry-leading supply-chain accountability.

Lululemon Golf Customer Support

On paper, this is the best support operation in the series: live chat seven days a week, a freephone UK number, free returns, and a Quality Promise that repairs or replaces faulty gear beyond the return window. The Trustpilot record says execution doesn’t always match the promise.

Channels & Hours

• Live chat 7am–7pm Monday–Friday, 9am–7pm Saturday (BST).
• Freephone 0800 783 9249, 9am–5pm weekdays, 11am–5pm Saturday.
• 20+ UK stores (11 in London, including the Regent Street EMEA flagship) handle returns, exchanges, and free hemming in person.

Policies

• 30 days from receipt for a full refund, online or in-store; items unwashed, unworn, hangtags on.
• Free online returns; refunds in roughly 5–7 working days after warehouse receipt.
• Exclusions worth knowing: headwear (including golf caps), gift cards, and personalised items; in-store sale purchases are final; exchanges are in-store only.
• The Quality Promise repairs or replaces for quality failures beyond 30 days, plus free trouser hemming at any store, no tags or receipt needed.

Self-Serve

• Free standard UK delivery over £50 (£4 below), 2–5 business days after 1–2 days’ processing.
• The US “Like New” trade-in programme hasn’t reached the UK.
• Klarna and UNiDAYS student discount available.

Verdict: 8.5/10

The most complete support infrastructure in golfwear (free returns, live humans, lifetime hemming), docked for the headwear exclusion and the refund delays UK reviewers keep reporting.

What Are Lululemon’s Review Ratings from Review Sites?

(As of July 2026)

• Trustpilot (UK): 1.9/5 across 377 reviews for lululemon.co.uk, at 68% one-star. The complaints are operational (slow refunds, unlogged returns, unhelpful service), not about product quality, and they cover the whole UK business rather than the golf line, but they’re a fair warning about what happens when an order goes wrong.
• Golf Community (GolfWRX): Adoring on the trousers: “the most perfect clothing item I have ever purchased” and “stopped wearing all of my other golf pants”; more divided on value (“ridiculously expensive but competitive with… Nike, Travis Mathew, J. Lindeberg”) and polos (“not a fan of the polos”).
• Editorial: MyGolfSpy swept its 2023 pants and shorts awards with lululemon, verified the ShowZero sweat claim, and calls the quality guarantee “one of the best in the industry”; Golf Digest runs an editors’ buying guide for the line.
• Tour Validation: Min Woo Lee became the first male pro to sign an apparel deal with lululemon in January 2024 and fronts the Spring 2026 collection (including a Lewis Hamilton content collab); Max Homa joined in January 2025, debuting the kit at The Sentry. Around 6M Instagram followers overall.

Synthesis:

Product sentiment and service sentiment live on different planets. Golfers who own the gear rave, especially about trousers; customers with problem orders rate the UK operation harshly. Buy in-store or keep receipts tidy, and the product side rarely disappoints.

Is Lululemon a Good Golf Brand?

Yes. Lululemon is the most complete crossover brand in golf right now. The ABC trouser platform is the category benchmark, ShowZero and Silverescent are real tech rather than marketing, both men’s and women’s edits are deep, and the UK setup (GBP pricing, 20+ stores, free returns, free hemming, Quality Promise) shames most dedicated golf labels. The trade-offs are premium pricing, a near-empty accessories shelf, no-returns headwear, and a service record that wobbles under pressure. If you’d rather spend £78-polo money on a full UK-built golf streetwear look instead, with change left for green fees, Three Putt is the culture-first alternative.

Frequently Asked Questions About Lululemon Golf

Does lululemon make golf clothes?

Do any professional golfers wear lululemon?

Yes. Min Woo Lee became the first male pro to sign an apparel deal with lululemon in January 2024, and Max Homa followed in January 2025, debuting the kit at The Sentry. Lydia Ko was the brand’s LPGA ambassador from 2019 until around 2024.

Are ABC trousers good for golf?

Genuinely, yes: the gusseted “anti-ball crushing” design with four-way-stretch Warpstreme is widely endorsed for the swing, and Golf Digest recommends the Classic fit for golfers. The dedicated ABC Golf Trouser (£138) adds a tee pocket, ventilation, and water resistance.

How much is lululemon golf clothing in the UK?

Real UK pricing: polos £78 full price (sale colours from £29), ABC trousers £118, golf trousers £138, shorts £78, half-zips £88, the waterproof golf jacket £228–£248, and caps £35. Free delivery over £50.

Who owns lululemon?

Lululemon athletica is a publicly traded company (NASDAQ: LULU), founded in Vancouver in 1998 by Chip Wilson, who left the board in 2015. Fiscal 2025 revenue was $11.1 billion, with international sales growing 22% while the Americas dipped.

How does lululemon golf sizing run?

Athletic and true to size, but note the UK site sells in US sizes. Polos come in Slim and Classic fits, trousers in four fits with 30“/32”/34" inseams, and every UK store hems trousers free, no receipt required.

What is lululemon’s UK return policy?

30 days from receipt with free online returns for unworn, tagged items; refunds land in 5–7 working days. Headwear, gift cards, and personalised items are excluded, in-store sale purchases are final, and a separate Quality Promise covers repairs or replacement for faults beyond 30 days.

Is lululemon golf gear worth it?

MyGolfSpy’s testers concluded each piece was worth the price on longevity and performance, and GolfWRX users note it’s priced in line with Nike, Travis Mathew, and J.Lindeberg premium ranges. The 1.9/5 UK Trustpilot score is about service when things go wrong, not the gear.
