How much should I spend on golf clubs?
Golf is not a cheap sport. One of the major costs are golf clubs; a set of clubs could set you back thousands of dollars. Luckily, there are always cheaper alternatives available for those who want access to the sport without paying too much.
If you are just starting out and not sure if you will be playing regularly, a budget golf set might be your best option. There are some decent quality, budget friendly options.
If you are in the game for the long haul and want to work at improving your game, you might consider a more expensive set that will help you as a beginner, but that can grow with you as you get better. The better the clubs you get, the longer they’ll work for you.
Golf Club Sets
When you are starting out it is much easier to go for golf club sets than building your own set from scratch, it can also work out cheaper. Read on for our list of recommended golf club sets for beginners.
IMPORTANT NOTE: When you are looking for a complete golf club set, you will often see the number of pieces that comes in the set, for example, 11 piece set. This doesn’t necessarily mean there are 11 clubs in the set; the cart bag and headcovers are usually included as pieces. So an 11 piece set could be 7 clubs, 1 cart bag and 3 headcovers. Make sure you read the description carefully so you know how many clubs you are actually getting.
