What\u2019s the most important piece of equipment when you\u2019re playing golf? The clubs. The quality of your clubs can determine how well you play, and if you\u2019re a beginner, this could make or break your technique and determine whether or not you continue to play. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"How<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve ever taken a trip to your local golf store, you\u2019ve probably already noticed that a set of decent clubs WON\u2019T come cheap. That\u2019s right. If you want a quality set of clubs, you need to be prepared to make the investment. So, how much will a decent set of golf clubs actually cost you<\/a>? Stick around to find out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginners, Experienced, Or Advanced Golfers:  Should You Buy New Or Used? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Should your decision to buy new or used clubs depend on your golfing experience level? We\u2019re here to help you figure it out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beginner <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a beginner, <\/strong>you\u2019ll need a complete set of clubs to hit the course with. For this reason, it\u2019s probably easier to buy a new set rather than buying each club individually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, new sets are expensive, and they may come with lofts and stock shafts that don\u2019t complement your swing, which can be a waste of money. Your new full set may also have a bit of a limited collection, such as a titanium driver and a 3-wood. Take this into consideration before buying a new set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, how much will it cost you? Well, depending on what\u2019s in the bag, a new set can cost you anywhere between $150-$500. <\/strong>If you want to buy a complete set second-hand, you\u2019ll probably pay between $150-$250.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Experienced\/Mid-Handicapper <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

At this stage, you\u2019ll probably already own a set of clubs. This means if you change equipment, you\u2019ll usually do it in separate stages (like buying different irons, then wedges) rather than replacing your whole set. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although this can definitely be cheaper than replacing the whole set, some clubs come with some pretty hefty price tags. For an experienced golfer, a quality new driver could set you back anywhere between $350-$600. <\/strong>Hybrid clubs can cost between $150-$300, and a set of irons can be the most expensive, costing anywhere between $400 to $1000. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Advanced <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019ve been golfing for years and you take the sport very seriously, you\u2019ll probably start spending even more on your clubs. The more you play (and the better you get), the more you come to appreciate different clubs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

More experienced golfers tend to prefer playing with more expensive irons – these can be one of the most expensive investments you\u2019ll make as an advanced golfer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you include a pitching wedge (see also: A Wedge?<\/a>)and a gap in your new set, you could pay between $1300-$2000 <\/strong>for a new set of irons. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

By now, you\u2019ll have a general idea of how much golf clubs cost you throughout your career. It might surprise you to know that you\u2019ll probably spend less on golfing equipment as a beginner than you will as a more advanced player! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Affects The Price Of Clubs? <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Golf is definitely not a cheap sport. The equipment and clothing is notoriously expensive, and if you\u2019re paying to play at a course, you can rack up the extra costs pretty quickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, you\u2019ll notice from our tables above that the prices of golf clubs can vary pretty drastically<\/a>. Golf is by no means cheap, but some clubs are pretty affordable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ve seen a steady increase in the variety of golf clubs on offer over the past 30 years, but what exactly is happening to the cost, and what factors determine how much you\u2019ll pay for your equipment? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manufacturing and Materials: <\/strong>It\u2019s estimated that almost 35% of the price of a golf club relates to its materials<\/a> and how much it costs to create. So, high-end clubs will inevitably cost you more than those made from cheaper materials.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sales\/Marketing Expenses: <\/strong>Approximately 25% of the cost of your golf club relates to how much money was spent on sales, marketing, and other corporate costs. So, the bigger the brand (such as Callaway, for example), the higher the price tag. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Taxes: <\/strong>The companies that manufacture your golf clubs will also have to pay tax, and around 3% of the cost of your club accounts for how much tax they have to pay. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Profit: <\/strong>Of course, we have profit. Every manufacturer needs to make a profit; it\u2019s just how business works. A huge percentage of the cost of your golf club will be the profit your manufacturer makes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some other decisive factors include: <\/p>\n\n\n\n
