What clubs are included in a full golf set?
A full golf set will usually include a driver, fairway woods or hybrids, irons, wedges and a putter, although the exact make-up can vary.
Some sets are built for beginners with the main clubs needed to get started, while others are put together from individual clubs.
Always check the listing for the exact clubs included and whether a bag and headcovers come with the set.
-
Do beginners need a full set of golf clubs?
Beginners do not need all 14 clubs straight away. Fourteen is the maximum you can carry during a round, rather than a requirement.
A full set can make starting easier by covering different distances without having to buy every club separately.
If you are new to golf, look for clubs that are forgiving, easy to launch and comfortable to swing rather than worrying about advanced shot shaping.
-
Do all clubs need to be the same brand?
No. Mixed bags are common and can perform extremely well. The clubs should suit the same golfer and create useful distance gaps. Matching logos matter far less than loft, shaft, forgiveness and condition.
If you are comparing individual clubs to complete your setup, browse our Callaway, Ping, TaylorMade and Cobra ranges.
-
How much should I spend on my first golf club set?
Your first golf club set should suit your budget and how often you plan to play. A used full set can be a way to get better quality clubs for less than buying everything new.
Prioritise the correct handedness, suitable club lengths and shaft flex, and enough forgiveness to help you enjoy the game.
When setting your budget, leave room for lessons, balls and a bag if one is not included.
-
What condition differences are normal across a set?
Wedges may show more face and sole wear because they contact sand and turf. Drivers can show crown or sole marks, while iron heads can have bag chatter. These marks are assessed separately.
-
Should I buy a complete golf set or choose clubs individually?
A complete golf set is usually the simpler option if you want the main clubs covered in one purchase.
Choosing clubs individually gives you more control over the exact driver, woods, irons, wedges and putter, but it takes more time and can cost more.
The clubs do not all need to be the same brand. What matters is that they suit your swing and cover the distances you need.
-
How do I choose the right club lengths and shaft flex for a full set?
Check the listed lengths, shaft flex and any size notes before buying. Standard length suits many golfers, but your height, wrist-to-floor measurement and posture all help determine a suitable fit.
If you already use clubs comfortably, compare their measurements with the set you are considering.
For shaft flex, consider both swing speed and tempo. Regular suits many everyday players, stiff tends to suit faster swings, and senior or light flex can help golfers with slower swing speeds launch the ball more easily.
-
Can I upgrade individual clubs in a full set later?
Yes, many golfers start with a full set and then upgrade individual clubs as their game develops.
You might change the driver first, add a more suitable wedge, replace the putter, or swap long irons for hybrids or fairway woods. Starting with a used full set can give you a solid base without locking you into every club forever.
-
Is it safe to buy a used full golf set online?
Yes, when you buy from a reputable seller and check the listing carefully. At Nearly New Golf Clubs, every club in a used set is inspected by our experts before listing.
Check which clubs are included, their condition, shaft flex, handedness and any length adjustments. Our listing information and photos help you compare the set before ordering. If a specification is unclear, ask our team before buying.
-
What condition will the clubs in my used golf set be in?
Condition can vary across a used golf set, as some clubs will naturally have been used more than others.
Irons and wedges may show face and sole wear, woods may have marks on the crown or sole, and grips can vary depending on age and use. Check the photos and condition notes for the full set rather than assuming every club will be identical.
-
Can I return a used full golf set if it is not right?
Yes. Our 30-day try-before-you-buy guarantee gives you time to try the clubs on the course or at the range. If the set does not suit you, you can return it for a refund or exchange in line with the guarantee. Clean the clubs before returning them and follow our returns instructions. For a return because the set does not suit you, you cover the return postage.
