Golf club including composite material with color coated fibers and methods of making the same

A golf club, comprising:

• a golf club head comprising:
• a crown, the crown comprising a first layered composite structure comprising:
• a first inner composite layer comprising a plurality of unidirectional fiber composite plies, and
• a first outer composite layer disposed over the first inner composite layer and comprising fibers embedded in a matrix material;
• a sole;
• and
• a club face, the club face comprising a second layered composite structure comprising:
• a second inner composite layer comprising a plurality of unidirectional fiber composite plies, and
• a second outer composite layer disposed over the second inner composite layer and comprising colored fibers embedded in a matrix material, the colored fibers of the second outer composite layer comprising color coated fibers or color dyed fibers,
• wherein the second outer composite layer comprises a fiber areal weight in a range of 50 grams per meter squared to 650 grams per meter squared.
