The game of golf has seen a huge boost in recent years and made golf club sets more popular than ever with thousands of men, women, boys, and girls taking up golf. Buying a full set of golf clubs offers several advantages for both beginners and seasoned players alike.

People have different preferences when it comes to buying products, and it’s the same in the world of golf. The more experienced golfer may prefer to buy clubs individually as they can get custom fit for the best golf drivers or best golf irons for their game. Other golfers may want to simplify things and buy an entire club set and take all the hassle out of the buying process.

If you’re new to the game, a complete set is often the best way to go. It will ensure that you have the right club for every situation on the course, whether you’re teeing off, hitting from the fairway, or trying to get out of a sand trap.

High-quality performance

The famous XR name we all came to know and love may not be available for custom fit, but that doesn't mean the name has died out just yet. This five-star package set offers everything a beginner or intermediate golfer could ever want.

The amazing quality and performance of this XR product make it an outstanding package set for a range of golfers from mid to high handicaps. The set is super impressive thanks to how easy the irons and woods are to hit making them the perfect game improvers and thanks to the kind folks at Callaway it comes in both Graphite and Steel shafts in either Stiff, Regular, or Lite flex.

This 12-piece XR package set comes with all the necessary equipment to navigate the golf course in style. The 10.5° 460cc driver head is built for forgiveness and with the high speed face a little distance too. That continues through to the #3 wood and #4 hybrid with lightweight design and Hyper Face Channel on both clubs to enhance ball speed.

You get a set of super easy-to-hit cavity back irons (5-PW) along with two XR wedges (AW, SW), and the set is rounded off with the iconically shaped Odyssey DFX #7 Mallet Putter. The set is completed with a premium Callaway Stand Bag to match the set.

As far as package sets go the Wilson PlayerFit is a good quality premium package set. You can see that a lot of thought has gone into the build process of the set. It offers high-quality headcovers throughout the set and premium-feeling grips on all the clubs including the putter which I thought was one of the standout performers in the set.

At £700, the PlayerFit set is a more premium offering in the package set market but you certainly get what you pay for. Not only do the clubs and components feel great but they also perform great too. The clubs are built for game improvement and help promote a longer and straighter ball flight.

This PlayerFit set includes a 10.5° titanium driver, a fairway wood, two hybrids, irons (6-PW), a sand wedge, and a putter to ensure there's the right club for every lie, from distance approach shots to the green. For beginners getting into the game who want a set to last through the first few years on the course, this could be that set.

Pros

  • Quality Bag
  • Headcovers are built to last
  • Clubs launch the ball well

Cons

  • Hybrids go a similar distance

A great option for beginner golfers

The CG Package Set is a great all-rounder, full of quality from top to bottom this club set is a great option for beginner golfers or people looking for an update to the current old set of bats. Besides the grips leaving a lot to be desired, this set is great everywhere you look.

The stand bag that comes with the set is superb, it is as good a bag as you can buy and is certainly worth a decent chunk of the money you spend to buy the set. Many people will brush over it, but the headcovers are built to last too.

With everything you need to take your game to the next level, the set includes a 10.5° driver, #5 fairway wood, and #5 hybrid all built with MOI in mind to help you launch the ball high and in turn gain more distance from of the tee and in the fairway. Partner these with some easy-to-hit irons and a classic blade putter you have a great set for any keen mid to high-handicap golfer.

Pros

  • Super forgiving
  • Great all-round set
  • Ideal for beginners and intermediates

Cons

  • The grips aren't great

Minimalist, affordable, and designed to last

If you want to look the part on the course with your new clubs then the Stix complete set has you covered. The sleek black design of each club is aesthetically beautiful. They don't just only look good but they have the performance to back it up too. The set is minimalist, affordable, and designed to last, hopefully getting you out of that rusty hand-me-down set you've had for a few seasons now.

The Perform Series set comes with 12 clubs and is perfect for every inevitability you may face on the course. In the set, you get a 10.5° 460cc driver which is by far the stand-out performer. The driver feels and performs like that of a more premium offering with plenty of distance and the feeling you are going to hit the fairway more often than not.

The rest of the set includes a #3 wood, a #4 hybrid, Irons (6-PW), Wedges (52°, 56°, 60°), and a Putter. As well as the 12 clubs, what makes this set so great is the configurations available to you. The set comes with either steel or graphite shafts in stiff, regular, and lite flex. They can also be made to your size as they offer options of 0.5 to 1 inch shorter or longer making them more personal to your game.

Pros

  • Super forgiving irons
  • The driver performs like a more premium model
  • Great for a variety of handicaps

Great set for newbies

Don’t be put off by the fact this entry set of golf clubs costs less than most premium drivers. For those starting, the benefits of ‘better’ clubs only really kick in once you start hitting the ball properly. How you hit it, rather than what you’re hitting it with, is much more important.

For most newbies, MacGregor’s CG4000 package will suffice and for those buying directly from the manufacturers, there is even to add an inch to the shaft length (steel/graphite). You can also choose between a cart or a stand bag.

The 460cc driver is designed for maximum forgiveness and the low weighting should help you get some air. The undercut cavity on the irons also helps in that department and I loved the high MOI putter as it fills you with confidence when standing over the short must-make putts.

Pros

  • Available in Right or Left-handed
  • The woods and hybrids feel great
  • Easy to hit

Cons

  • Lesser quality bag and headcovers

You may not know this, but, these Strata golf clubs have been engineered by Callaway. They may not look the same or have the look of their more premium sets but there is no doubt the performance of the product.

The Strata 12-piece package set is only a couple of clubs and some tees and balls away from being the full thing. If you're getting into the game this set is superb value and not only that it has plenty of quality forgiving golf clubs too.

The lightweight driver and oversized woods have large sweet spots and yes that means super forgiving which fills you with confidence on the tee. The set also features a hybrid, irons (6-PW), and a mallet putter which sit nicely in a lightweight Strata Stand Bag.

This set is inexpensive, easy to get on with, and has everything a newbie needs to start or get back into the game.

Pros

  • Option to have more or fewer clubs depending on which set you buy
  • Quality golf bag
  • Clubs feel more premium than they look

Cons

  • The putter feels hard off the face

A set built to help golfers progress

Another popular name from Callaway's successful past encompassed in a premium package set perfect for beginners and intermediate golfers. The Warbird package set has been designed to help golfers gain distance without losing any forgiveness.

The set is full of quality from top to bottom and is the ideal set for golfers to keep for years as they work down handicaps. This 10-piece set is built to last and can always be added to, whether you'd like to add some hybrids or wedges the setup will allow for that.

A 460cc driver performs great and feels similar to some of Callaway's more premium offerings. The oversized wood and cavity back irons are built to promote a high launch and more distance which make them perfect for a mid to high handicapper to get the most out of their game.

The highlight of the bag for me is the Odyssey White Hot putter. One of the most successful putters in history with a great feel off the face and consistent strike time after time, it'll be sure to have you draining more putts the next time you play.

Pros

  • Superb golf bag
  • High quality putter
  • A great set for your first years on the golf course

Cons

  • No hybrid option

A great set for the experienced golfer

Cobra believes their combination covers a wide range of players – not just beginners looking for starter sets – and there is a lot to back up that claim.

Cobra has long produced clubs that offer value for money and there is a lot of technology in the Fly XL range. The more traditional blade putter which is included in the set feels amazing off the face and looks great. I was also impressed by the quality of the bag you get, it will certainly last and is great for organization with all the dividers.

The 10.5° degree driver incorporates heel weighting to help offset the big slice, commonly associated with higher handicap players while the perimeter-weighted irons will help achieve a more consistent strike. This is a great set from a big-name brand where you don't have to spend over the odds to get good clubs.

Pros

  • Quality golf bag
  • Forgiveness throughout the set
  • The putter feels great

Cons

  • Headcovers could be of better quality

This set is ideal for any golfers wanting to progress their game with the same set of clubs. If you're getting into the game and looking for a set to join you on the journey of lowering that handicap, this could be the one.

Tour Edge is not the most prominent brand on the market but the quality is certainly up there with some of the best. So, if you're not fussed about showing off to your mates with the latest and greatest clubs why not save some money and get a full bag for less than a set of the best golf irons!

The package includes a Driver, #3&5 Woods, #4&5 Hybrids, Irons (6-SW), and a Mallet putter, with a Premium Cart Bag. We loved the feel of the driver and the confidence-inspiring feel it gave off, the theme continued through to the irons with the high MOI cavity style making them super easy to hit.

Pros

  • Comes with a quality cart bag
  • Hybrids and Irons launch very well
  • Wedge was fun around the green

Cons

  • The driver wasn't the longest

Forward-thinking design

The Inesis 100 set has everything a beginner golfer could want. Playing golf for the first time can be a nerve-racking prospect and clubs that give you confidence over the ball is everything. The forward-thinking design of the 100 set allows you to have fewer clubs but play the same as you would with more.

The design of the irons made them super easy to launch, and the wide sole and medium top line give you the confidence to launch the ball in the right direction. The clubs felt super stable and delivered a consistent strike hit after hit which we loved.

These clubs are unisex and are brought depending on the size of a human rather than the gender The clubs are available in two sizes one for a ground-to-wrist distance of less than 78.5 cm and one for more than 78.5 cm.

Pros

  • Unreal value
  • Forgiving high-launch irons
  • Great for both Men and Women

Cons

  • Basic shaft

If it's a premium package set you're after then look no further, the REVA 11-piece set has everything a beginner or experienced golfer needs to perform on the course. The REVA set is an ultra-premium package built to stand the test of time.

Thanks to extensive testing with women golfers the loft progression and set makeup are perfect for women's swing speeds. Aimed at women of all skill levels the clubs are very enjoyable to use, a feature through the bag is the powerful feel off of the face and the high launch. The set is well-balanced and makes swinging feel effortless without hindering the outcome.

The set includes a Driver, #3 Wood, #5&6 Hybrids, Irons (7-9), PW, SW, Putter, and Cart Bag. A stand-out quality of the bag was how good the putter felt. The tour-proven Odyssey Stroke Lab #7 putter really helped with alignment and feel off the face, plus it looks great in blue!

The complete women's golf club set

Ideal for both beginners and intermediates the Bloom club set has everything a golfer needs to get out on the course and get playing. Being only a nine-club set this is by far not the finished article but with the quality of the clubs it's a great starting point. The set can always be added to as well perhaps a few wedges or extra wood into the bag.

The Bloom set is comprised of a Driver, 5 Wood, 5 Hybrid, 7i – PW, SW, and Putter with headcovers to match. The head design is confidence-inspiring and built for forgiveness to ensure you get the most out of your clubs with longer and straighter ball flights. The set comes with a high-quality cart bag that is both stylish and practical, although you'll struggle to carry it the bag fits perfectly on a trolley and a buggy.

Pros

  • Super forgiving
  • Great for a range of handicaps
  • High quality clubs and bag

Cons

  • Only comes with a cart bag

How to choose a package set

Whether you’re a beginner stepping onto the course for the first time or a seasoned player looking to upgrade your gear. Here are some of the several key considerations in mind to ensure they make the right choice on your next set.

Forgiveness

As you can see from the sets above, package sets are designed around forgiveness. Chances are if you’re reading this you’re a beginner or junior golfer after a full set of clubs. The most common problem is the lack of distance and accuracy due to mishit shots. Thankfully the oversized heads and larger sweet spots of club sets are designed to help get a consistent strike and help launch the ball in the air. We’ve all felt the pain of struggling to make a solid strike of the golf ball and anything that can make it easier is more than welcome.

Quality

The quality and performance of full sets are paramount because they directly affect a golfer’s ability to play well. Unlike the models above, poorly made sets can lack the engineering you need a club to have and can result in several issues. This can result in inconsistent performance, compromised accuracy, and overall game enjoyment. Whereas, high-quality clubs are often made from premium materials and engineered with precision to ensure consistency and reliability in every shot. Selecting a well-respected brand such as Callaway, TaylorMade, and Wilson, which all feature above, as they will have been tested and designed to perform properly.

Value for Money

Purchasing a full set often works out to be more cost-effective than buying individual clubs, especially when considering the bundled discounts that manufacturers often offer. Golf club sets vary widely in price, and you want to ensure you’re getting good value for investment. While it’s tempting to opt for the cheapest option, it’s essential to consider the overall quality, performance, and features to determine the true value of a set.

Investing in a higher-quality set may cost more upfront but can offer better performance, durability, and longevity, ultimately providing better value over time. Often purchasing a higher quality package set will offer more room for growth and improvement as your game develops. This will hopefully reduce your spending in the first few years on the course.

What’s in the set

When buying a full set of golf clubs you want to ensure that you have all the bases covered. A comprehensive golf set will typically include a driver, a combination of irons (including a pitching wedge and a sand wedge), a putter, and sometimes additional clubs like hybrids or fairway woods. It is also worth trying to get a set with a golf bag and headcovers as it saves purchasing them extra or at a later date.

FAQs

What should I look for in a golf club set?

When purchasing a package set, several factors must be considered to ensure you get the best fit for your game. Firstly, consider your skill level and playing style. Beginners will benefit from a more forgiving set with higher lofted clubs and larger sweet spots, while advanced players will prefer clubs with more control and workability.

Secondly, examine the club set combinations. A good golf set will typically include a driver, fairway woods, some irons, a couple of wedges, and a putter. Lastly, think about your budget and value for money. While it’s tempting to go for the most expensive set, sometimes a mid-range option can offer excellent quality without breaking the bank.

Should I buy a complete set or individual clubs?

The decision between buying a complete golf club set or individual clubs depends on your specific needs and wants. Complete sets are convenient and usually more cost-effective, providing you with all the essential clubs in one package. They’re ideal for beginners or golfers looking to replace their old hand-me-down set.

On the other hand, purchasing individual clubs allows you to go through the custom fitting process and tailor your set of clubs to your game. This option is preferred by the majority of golfers but it’s certainly the more expensive route to go down. So, considering your budget, skill level, and how frequently you play is key when making this decision.

What’s the difference between steel and graphite shafts?

Steel shafts are known for their durability, consistency, and affordability. They offer greater control and are preferred by many low-handicap players for their stability and feedback. On the other hand, graphite shafts are lighter and more flexible, making them suitable for players seeking increased clubhead speed and distance. They’re also excellent for golfers with slower swing speeds or those who struggle with arm or wrist fatigue.

Ultimately, the choice between steel and graphite shafts comes down to personal preference, playing style, and individual needs. As with everything we’d recommend going to your local pro shop or retail store and trying them out to find out which is best.
