Golf Boys, Take Notes: The Perfect Valentine’s Golf Date.
Golf Boys, Listen Up: How to Plan a Cute Valentine's Date That She’ll Actually Love.
Alright, golf boys. Valentine’s Day is creeping up, and if you’re thinking, hmm, maybe I should just book a res at a mid-tier steakhouse and call it a day — stop right there. Your girl deserves better, and lucky for you, we’ve got the perfect plan. A golf date she’ll actually enjoy. Ready? Let’s go.
Step One: Outfit Check
If you’re introducing your girl to the game — or just trying to make sure she actually wants to come back — step one is making sure she feels cute. And that starts with a golf fit that doesn’t scream, “I pulled this itchy, unsupportive polo out from the depths of my closet.” Enter: Sierra Madre Golf.
A skort that moves with her? Check. A top that’s chic but breathable? Check. Something she can wear from the range straight to a post-date drink? Check, check, check. Bonus points if you throw in a cute little golf accessory — like The Ball Marker Hair Clip or a Bag Charm that says, I have taste and I pay attention.
Step Two: The Thoughtful Basket
This is where you get to flex your I’m a romantic muscles. Pack up a cute little picnic basket with:
✔️ Her favorite drink (bonus points for something pink or red because, aesthetic)
✔️ Some chocolates or her go-to candy (again, pay attention)
✔️ A sleeve of golf balls — because nothing says romance like fresh Pro V1s
✔️ Flowers. Always flowers.
✔️ A handwritten card — because a text that says “Happy V-Day, babe” will not cut it.
Step Three: The Moment — Her First Golf Swing
If she’s new to golf, this is your time to shine. You could just hand her one of your crusty old irons… or you could actually get her a club of her own (we wrote a whole blog post on this — One Club Wonder). Just grab a used wedge or iron from a secondhand shop, tie a little bow around it, and boom — she has her first club. Cute, right?
Now, take her to the range. Show her how to get a bucket of balls, how to hold a club, and then give her space. No hovering, no unsolicited swing tips, no “just keep your head down” commentary (unless she asks). Let her take a few swings, hype her up, and, most importantly, make it fun (take a sip of champagne or whatever you're sipping on every time she makes contact).
Step Three, Option B: Putt-Putt & Chill
If the range is feeling too intense (or too full), pivot to the practice green. Grab a couple of putters and a few golf balls, and set up your own mini putting contest. Or, if you really want to impress her, bring a wedge and some foam balls and set up a little chipping challenge. Lighthearted, low-stakes, and just the right amount of flirty competition.
Step Four: More is More — The Post-Round Date Spot
Golf is just the warm-up — now it’s time to seal the deal with a well-planned dinner or dessert. Whether it’s a cozy wine bar, a top-tier taco truck, or a late-night ice cream run, the key is having a plan. None of that “So… what do you want to do now?” energy.
TL;DR: Thoughtfulness Wins
The real MVP of this date isn’t the golf — it’s the effort. A cute fit, a thoughtful gift, a fun, no-pressure intro to the game, and a solid post-round plan? That’s how you make Valentine’s Day actually good. Now go forth and impress her.
