Beginner Club Questions
You can start with 5 to 7 clubs: a driver or hybrid, a mid iron, a short iron, a wedge, and a putter. A full set is nice later, but not required for your first rounds.
A complete set can be a good value if you find one under $300, but many beginners overbuy. Our guide shows which complete sets are worth it and when fewer clubs make more sense.
For beginners, fit and forgiveness matter more than brand. We recommend based on ease of use and local availability, not name recognition.
