As summer fades and the colder months set in, golf in the UK takes on a very different character. Fairways soften, mornings are brisk, and the ball simply doesn’t travel as far. At Cotswold Golf Company, we know how important it is to adapt your game and gear so you can keep enjoying golf right through the winter season.
Adjusting Your Game for Winter Conditions
UK courses change dramatically as autumn turns to winter. Softer ground means less roll, while damp air reduces distance. Greens also slow down, demanding more pace on your putts. A few smart adjustments can make a big difference:
Club up on approach shots – colder, heavier air shortens ball flight.
Refine your short game – wetter turf can affect spin and strike.
Focus on putting pace – firmer strokes are needed on slower greens.
Staying Warm and Comfortable on the Course
Cold, wet weather can quickly spoil a round if you’re not dressed correctly. Layering is key to keeping warm without restricting your swing. At Cotswold Golf Company, we stock a range of winter golf clothing and accessories, including:
Thermal base layers to trap heat close to the body.
Waterproof jackets and trousers to keep you dry in showers.
Winter golf gloves to help you maintain grip in damp conditions.
Hats and snoods for added warmth when the wind bites.
Winter Golf Essentials You’ll Need
Alongside clothing, a few simple equipment changes can help you play better during the colder months:
Low-compression golf balls – designed for performance in cold weather.
Winter golf tees – perfect for softer ground conditions.
Trolley winter wheels – often required by UK clubs to protect fairways.
Hand warmers and mitts – small additions that keep you comfortable.
All of these winter essentials are available online at Cotswold Golf Company, with UK delivery straight to your door.
Making the Most of Winter Golf
Winter golf is a chance to sharpen your skills, even if conditions aren’t perfect. Use the season to:
Build consistency rather than chasing distance.
Practise shot shaping to handle windier rounds.
Strengthen your mental game for spring.
With the right mindset, winter golf can be just as rewarding as the summer season.
