In search of some new golf apparel for Fall 2013? Let’s go for a tour around the Las Vegas valley to find out who has the coolest clothing, shoes and accessories!

First stop, Las VegasGolf and Tennis located at Boca Park in Summerlin. This is a new location for this business, previously located at the District in Henderson. Immediately to the right of the entrance, just past the Hello Kitty section (what?) there were about 6 floor racks and 10 wall racks of golf clothing for women. This store was predominately stocked with JamieSadock apparel, and had minimal sizes or color choices left from big names Adidas, Nike, and Puma.

We found it odd that a store located in a city known for it's blazing sun carried such a small and mundane selection of hats and visors...
a. Golf Galaxy's hat section b. and c. limited choices at Las Vegas Golf and Tennis
Las Vegas Golf and Tennis did carry a decent selection of gag gifts if you're on the prowl for golf related holiday gifts and stocking stuffers. They also have a second location located near the strip on Dean Martin Drive. Although it seems like a bigger store - again we were disappointed to find only a few racks of women’s golf clothing.
Golf Galaxy
Second stop, GolfGalaxy located in Summerlin. If you are in need of essentials and building a basic golf wardrobe, this is your place to shop! Here you will find all the staples in every solid color and no shortage of sizes. Again, plain and safe styles with limited designer fashion. A.k.a. boring!

This store has an okay selection of belts and a couple of clearance racks. The shoe selection was disappointing, and the hats and visors were just plain funny.
There were no goofy gag gifts at this store, just clothes, accessories and gear. Golf Galaxy has a new location opening soon in Henderson, we are hopeful the corporate buyer is female?
Dick's Sporting Goods
Third stop, Dick’s Sporting Goods in Henderson. If you are on a budget, Dick’s has the most clearance racks. In fact, we've watched the same skirt sit on the clearance rack for the last three years - without the price being lowered at all?
We spotted a few somewhat unique pieces like the plaid golf skort with button embellishments on the left. A typical scenario in each store we visited? Cool styles only had one piece remaining. Case in point, the checked Nike shorts above, right.
Dick’s has an assortment of gear and accessories but nothing that really caught our eye. As for ladies golf shoes, there were only 7 choices...
Sport Chalet

Final stop, SportsChalet in Henderson. If you are in
search of ladies golf clothing, just keep driving. Sports Chalet has nothing to choose
from. Tennis skirts are about all you
will find here. A few gag gifts and
accessories, maybe some practice balls!
This six hour tour was a disappointing day of golf shopping for us! With over 133 golf courses in Nevada, we're trying hard to understand why there is such a lack of fashionable, unique and functional golf clothing available. Throughout the day we kept commenting, "If I won a $500 shopping spree at this store I would have a tough time spending it." Sigh. We will continue to beg of the golf gods that are responsible for ladies golf clothing, WOMEN LOVE TO SHOP, GIVE US SOMETHING TO BUY!
