Choose the clubs and kit for the sessions you have booked. Start with a workable set and a fitting check, then use your first few rounds or lessons to identify what else you need.
The links below include UK buying guides. Check the country, currency and retailer in each article before ordering in the UK or US.
Choose a first set
- Affordable beginner sets — compare three researched packages, count the actual clubs and allow for the rest of your first-month budget.
- Strata 12-piece versus Fazer CTR25 — look more closely at the wedge provision, fit and package contents before choosing between them.
- Golf sets for senior players — compare package specifications and whether a smaller upgrade would address the need.
Check the specification before ordering
- Club length and fitting checks — understand what a seller means by standard length and what to record from a fitting.
- Buying left-handed golf clubs — check the exact hand, shaft and model instead of relying on a search-result label.
Plan the rest of the first session
- What to wear when starting golf — check the venue’s requirements, try the clothes you own and identify a specific missing item.
- Choosing golf shoes — compare fit, weather needs and the upkeep of different outsoles.
Once you can collect useful shots, build your own club-distance record. For later maintenance, use the grip and fitting guides.
