There’s a kind of magic in the late summer getaway. The air is warm but not stifling, the golden-hour light hits just right, and your calendar feels just open enough for one last perfect escape. For the woman who craves a mix of sport, style, and serenity, a late summer golf weekend is less about competition and more about connection. With yourself, your swing, and the beauty around you.
This is your dreamy, visual guide to where to go, what to pack, and how to bring elegance with you from the course to cocktail hour. Let’s plan the kind of weekend you’ll want to relive long after the scorecard fades.
1. Where to Go: The Dreamiest Destinations for a Quick Golf Escape
Whether you're booking a solo reset or a long-awaited weekend with friends, these late-summer picks check every box: scenic courses, low-key luxury, and options for both play and pause.
🏌️♀️ Ojai, California
Think: Spanish villas, warm canyon breezes, and 18 holes with mountain views. Stay at Ojai Valley Inn for wellness-meets-golf vibes.
⛳ Sea Island, Georgia
Old Southern charm meets high-end play. With five-star accommodations and a coastal breeze, it's the definition of slow luxury.
☀️ Scottsdale, Arizona
Yes, it’s hot—but the late-summer twilight rounds here are pure magic. Check into CIVANA Wellness Resort for spa mornings and sunset swings.
🌲 Whistler, Canada
Cooler temps, pine-scented air, and a backdrop straight out of a postcard. The Fairmont course is both pristine and peaceful.
2. What to Pack: Your Effortless Golf-Girl Capsule
Let’s get one thing clear: we don’t overpack, we curate. Every piece should feel like it belongs, whether you’re lining up a birdie or lounging by the pool.
👜 The Travel-Ready Essentials:
Fair Liar Organza Shoelace Sneakers: Lightweight, breathable, and surprisingly chic from airport to clubhouse. (Bonus: they pair just as well with linen trousers as they do with your favorite skort.)
Pearl Buckle Loafers: For the post-round dinner or brunch on the patio. Easy to slip on, hard not to compliment.

Performance Line Polos & Skorts: Designed to move with you - no wrinkles, no fuss, just clean lines and breathable materials that work in every climate.
Sun Protection Staples: Think visors, SPF mist, oversized sunglasses, and a Fair Liar windbreaker for cool mornings.
One Luxe Layer: A cashmere-blend wrap or draped pullover that goes from tee box to terrace cocktails.
3. Chic Downtime Must-Haves
Golf weekends are about more than golf. They’re about filling your soul.
The Playlist: Curate a mix of mellow acoustic, classic soul, and breezy pop. Think: Leon Bridges, Norah Jones, Maggie Rogers.
The Pages: Bring a book that inspires presence, like The Art of Noticing or Everything I Know About Love.
The Beauty: A 5-minute routine. Lip balm with SPF, dewy skin tint, a rosy cheek, and a fragrance that smells like vacation.
4. How to Feel Good, Play Better, and Look Effortlessly Put Together
You don’t need to be a scratch golfer to deserve the luxury of the game. You need rhythm, not rigidity. Ritual, not rules. That’s why Fair Liar’s design philosophy blends form with function, performance pieces that feel just as good on the fairway as they do at your second glass of wine.
It’s not about being the best on the course. It’s about showing up feeling like the best version of you. And that’s exactly what this late summer is calling for.
