A beginner golf club set can be a great way to dip your feet into the game of golf. Whether you’re new to the game or simply want to upgrade your current set, purchasing a complete set can be an affordable way to start a new golf journey.
We researched and tested many golf club sets with two main criteria. The first and most important criteria is affordability. We want a golf club set that we can all afford. A beginner golf club set should not empty our bank account. We want anyone and everyone to experience golf, so being affordable is our top priority.
The second criteria is forgiveness. This might be some peoples number one priority. We wanted a golf club set that is easy to hit and very forgiving. Most likely if you’re looking into a beginner golf club set you are fairly new to the game or, ready for an upgrade from a throw together set. A more forgiving golf club helps all amateurs have better results on mishits and gives more confidence standing over the ball.
We found two sets that stood out above the rest. We always like to give a winner but considering all positives and negatives of the top two beginner golf club sets we have co-champions and a very nice 3rd place.
