MacGregor Golf Clubs: Today’s Sets & the Iconic History

Here are the current golf clubs being produced under the MacGregor brand and where to buy them.

The MacGregor DCT 3000 full set of clubs comes in men’s and women’s options, and they are available in right-handed and left-handed models. These clubs are a step up from MacGregor’s CG3000 set, but are still intended for the high-handicap player. The main convenience with the DCT3000 is that it’s a “one-stop shop,” in that you’re purchasing a full set of clubs with a golf bag (stand or carry bag available) which eliminates your need to buy every piece separately.

The irons are offset and intended to launch high with a lot of forgiveness. The woods are modeled towards the same player, and the 460cc driver is the largest allowed by the Rules of Golf.

The men’s sets include a driver, 3-wood, 3-hybrid, 4-hybrid, 5-iron through pitching wedge, and a putter. Pricing ranges from $380 to $460 depending on if you choose the stand or cart bag, and the steel or graphite shafts. The men’s sets have a black and blue color scheme.

The women’s sets include a driver, 3-wood, 3-hybrid, 4-hybrid, 6-iron through pitching wedge, and a putter. MacGregor does not offer a choice of bag in the women’s sets, only cart bags are available. Pricing is $420 if you want graphite/steel shafts and $440 for all graphite. Women’s sets are teal and black color combination.

The DCT3000 sets can be found on the MacGregor website or on Amazon.

Pros:

• Step up from the base model
• Forgiving
• Quality bag included
• High launch from all clubs
• Righty and lefty models are available

Cons:

• Driver is not adjustable
• One length of putter
• Difficult to try before buying

The CG3000 complete set from MacGregor should be considered by anyone who is just looking to break into the game. Too often, new players spend a thousand dollars or more when just gearing their interest in the game. The CG3000 set is nothing fancy, but it gets the job done while you hack your way to becoming a high-handicap player.

With the CG3000 sets, you get a 460cc driver and a putter that’s modeled after the immensely popular winged style that all manufacturers offer. They are available in both left and right-handed models, with stiff or regular shafts, and even in shorter lengths. Thats a nice set of options, exceeding our expectations of a complete package set of clubs.

The men’s sets range from $320 to $400 depending on your shaft selection. There is not a choice of bag, only stand bags are available. In the set, you receive a driver, 5-wood, 5-hybrid, 6-iron through pitching wedge, and a putter. All men’s sets are red and black.

The women’s sets are teal and gray and range in price from $320 to $340 depending on shaft selection. While the men’s sets have stand bags, the women’s CG3000 is only available with cart bags. In the set, you receive a driver, 5-wood, 5-hybrid, 7-iron through pitching wedge, and a putter.

All MacGregor CG3000 sets can be found on the MacGregor site or on Amazon.

Pros:

• Easy starter set
• Great price and value
• Quality bag included
• Righty and lefty models are available
• Different lengths available

Cons:

• Limited bag options
• Difficult to try before buying

While the two previously mentioned complete sets are the most common here in the U.S. there is a third complete set made by MacGregor that can be found in Europe.

The DCT4000 is a mix between the CG3000 and the DCT3000. These clubs have a black and red color scheme, but club spec-wise they lean more towards the DCT3000 in that they can be good for a beginner or for players taking the next step and a high-handicap players. We’ve only been able to find the DCT4000 in men’s versions and only with the stand-bag option.

The bag is made of the same high-quality nylon as other MacGregor sets. The driver is 460cc and the putter is a slightly different take on the winged style, but still a forgiving mallet as with the other sets.

In this set, you receive a driver, 3-wood, 3-hybrid, 4-hybrid, 5-iron through sand wedge, and a putter. Pricing is £299.98 and they appear to only be available at Costco locations in Europe.

MacGregor golf clubs have been used to win 59 major championships, which is second all-time only to Wilson. The company's history goes back to1829 when Archibald and Ziba Crawford founded the Dayton Last Company in Dayton, Ohio, which began as a shoe company. Eventually, they partnered with John McGregor in 1875 and Edward Canby in 1886. The team developed a wooden golf club and began its journey as a premier golf club maker. By the 1920s, they ceased making shoes due to the incredible popularity of the golf clubs.
