Women's golf is becoming increasingly popular as more women of all ages and abilities take up the game. Style on the golf course is a big priority for many people. The best sunglasses for women can be determined by style, durability and UV protection.

Oakley Sport

The Oakley brand is well-established. According to the 2010 Golf Digest Hot List, which ranks the best in golf equipment and accessories, Oakley has been a favorite throughout other sports, but has just broken into the golf sunglass market. Its glasses are shorter framed, sleeker and designed to protect the range of vision that most golfers find essential. UV protection is a priority, and many of the Oakley lenses are polarized.

Sundog Glasses

Sundog has emerged as a leading player in the golf sunglass market. The company aims to appeal to younger players and up-and-coming professionals. Sundog has also tried to appeal to college players by providing a tee gift of sunglasses to each player in the Furman Lady Paladian Invitational, a major college golf tournament. In addition, the company counts Paula Creamer as one of its lead endorsers. According to Golf Magazine, the company has started resonating with competitive players.

Snake Eyes Glasses

Snake Eyes are offered at Golfsmith retail stores. The Golf Digest Hot List wrote that women love the classic look and affordability that is a staple of this brand. Snake Eyes makes several wide-face and full-face lenses -- with some lenses polarized as an additional option for comfort -- along with a line of narrow glasses built exclusively for the golf course.

Callaway Golf

Few companies in the golf industry pour more into research and development of its golf equipment than Callaway Golf. The Callaway line of sunglasses is no exception. The lenses are hand-crafted for the best in protection, shape and curvature. The polarized line of glasses reflects sun and cuts down on glare. Women can choose from several styles.
