The Easiest Way to Find Cheap Golf Clubs

If you don’t want to piece together a set of used clubs, we suggest plenty of alternatives where you can save significantly off the retail price of golf clubs and still get modern, new and used golf clubs. 

If you’re looking for the best way to save the most money on good golf clubs, however, this is it. There are two ways to shop Goodwill online for cheap (in price only), high-quality golf clubs. You can shop directly using Goodwill Finds, or try your luck in the auctions at ShopGoodwill.com.

Check Golf Clubs at Goodwill Finds

Goodwill Finds is probably the best starting point for searching for good, discounted golf clubs. From the Goodwill Finds homepage, use the search bar at the top to search “golf clubs.” 

If you’re building a set from scratch, you’ll instantly see plenty of options, from single clubs, to small and larger bundles to build the foundation of your set.

The day we searched, we found an 8-piece set of gently used Wilson Black Jack irons for $55. That’s a downright steal.

If you’re searching for something more specific, you can use the search bar at the top to hone in your query.

If you’re just beginning at golf and not sure what to look for, here are a few tips to find a great starter set:

• First of all, make sure the dexterity matches your needs. In our experience, pictures are more accurate than descriptions. I’ve seen plenty of clubs advertised as right-handed, with pictures of left-handed clubs, and so far, the pictures have not lied.
• Always check the shipping costs before you fall in love with a price. Depending on your shipping address and the store you order from, shipping costs could be prohibitive. You can use the filters to select the closest stores to your region to cut down on shipping costs.
• If you’re looking for a starter set, you don’t need every club in the bag. A set that includes eight or nine of the following will get you going just fine: Driver, 3 or 5 wood, hybrid, 7-9 irons, pitching wedge, sand wedge, putter.
• If you’re a beginner, look for cavity-back irons. These are perimeter-weighted and will give you the best results even when you miss the center of the club face.

Not everybody wants to get their golf clubs from Goodwill. Or maybe you’re upgrading from the set you that you got from Goodwill. No problem. There are plenty of great alternatives. Some get you brand new clubs, some are used, but they’re all cheap – in price only.

Direct to Consumer (DTC) golf club makers are more popular than ever, and you have a full menu of options to choose from. Do you want the lowest priced clubs you’d actually want to play? Try a DTC brand like Bombtech.

Do you want a low-priced complete set that will work for you? Stix is a great option for that.

Are you looking for tour-quality clubs that you’ll want to keep forever, but at a fraction of the competition? Sub 70 is your best bet. 

Many of these brands offer even bigger discounts on used clubs from their lineups, which is just one more way to save money on great golf clubs.

Here’s are a few Direct To Consumer golf club manufacturers to check out.

Shop Callaway Golf Preowned

Callaway Golf Preowned is one of the most popular destinations on the internet for affordable golf clubs, and there are two reasons for that. You always know you’re getting name-brand equipment that’s in good condition, and you know you’re getting it at a great price.

Despite the name, Callaway Golf Preowned offers more than just Callaway products, and it’s a great place to shop for discounts on recent models as well as clubs from 10-plus years ago.

Shop Golf Galaxy Used Demo Clubs

If you’re looking to save some coin and add some of the latest and greatest golf equipment to your bag, the used demo club offerings from Golf Galaxy just may be your best bet. 

Most clubs are marked down about 40% from original retail prices, give or take. Don’t be nervous about these clubs being demoed. Most, if not all of them, have never been hit outdoors, and the mileage on a demo club is less than what you’d get with a used club that was somebody’s everyday gamer for a few years. On top of that, there’s an extra layer of security when you buy from a reputable chain like Golf Galaxy.

Shop 2nd Swing

In recent years, 2nd Swing has become a powerhouse in second-hand golf equipment. It's got everything you need, from low-priced oldies-but-goodies, to discounted clubs from the latest release cycle, and everything in between.

Shop Play It Again Sports

Play It Again Sports is another must-check if you’re on the hunt for cheap used golf clubs. You never know what you’re going to find at Play It Again Sports, and like both of the Goodwill sites above, if you’re persistent, you’ll find some exciting hidden gems. 

Also like the Goodwill sites above, be sure to check the shipping costs to your specific address before you decide if a deal really is too good to pass up.

Shop Rock Bottom Golf

Rock Bottom Golf offers the best of all worlds. From discounts on new clubs to bargain preowned and open box returns, you’ll find whatever your looking for at Rock Bottom Golf.

On top of all that, you’ll find shoes, balls, and accessories to make sure you hit the course with everything you need, and some spare change in your pocket.

Check Amazon Golf Clubs

If you’re looking to spend anywhere from $20 to $2,000 on golf clubs, there’s only one place to shop: Amazon.

Pick your price, and browse the options available in your budget. Rest assured, whether you’re looking for the very lowest prices, regardless of the brand, or the best prices from the most reputable brands, Amazon has plenty of options to choose from.

Shop Kirkland Signature Golf

If you need 14 of something, Costco is the place to go. Since you need 14 golf clubs, why not check Costco?

All jokes aside, Costco’s in-house brand, Kirkland Signature has shaken up the golf industry in recent years with its half-the-price (or better) equipment that delivers 90-plus percent of the performance. 

Costco’s golf boom started with golf balls, and has since evolved into a premium, $100 putter, and beautiful 3-piece wedge set that retails for $169. Kirkland Signature irons briefly appeared on the USGA’s conforming club list in early 2023, and they looked every bit as savory as the best irons in the game today. If those come to retail, expect a consumer-friendly price tag, and like Kirkland Signature’s other golf equipment, expect the demand to far outweigh the supply.

It’s easy to bemoan the astronomical costs of golf equipment these days. The better option, however, is to take control of the situation. You don’t have to be robbed blind just to play decent golf equipment. If you look in the right places, you’ll find some satisfyingly great deals on golf equipment.
