Country golf club welcoming women, initially (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rwanda

'country' is the definition.
(Rwanda is an example)

'golf club welcoming women initially' is the wordplay.
'golf club' becomes 'randa' (I've seen this in other clues).
'welcoming' indicates putting letters inside (in sense of 'inviting in').
'initially' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'women' is 'w'.
'randa' enclosing 'w' is 'RWANDA'.

(Other definitions for rwanda that I've seen before include "African state" , "Republic in central Africa" , "Scene of a genocide in 1994" , "Central African country" , "Language" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
