How To Buy A Beginner Set Of Golf Clubs
1. Which Types of Clubs Do I Need?
According to USGA rules, you are allowed to carry up to 14 clubs. (If you’d like to learn more about the purpose of each type of club, visit our general golf club buying guide which details each club type). A typical 14 club set consists of:
1 Driver
2 Fairway Woods
1 Hybrid
7 Irons
2 Wedges
1 Putter
However, if you’re new to the game, you don’t really need to get all 14 clubs. Beginner golfers can start with a driver ($75 or less), an inexpensive iron set ($200 or less) and a putter ($60 or less). Add a basic bag ($60 or less), and you’d have enough to get started for under $400.
