Hey golfers, what do you recommend as a good complete set of clubs for a beginner ? Looking to spend $300 as a starter. Also, how long can we play in chicago before winter close out ? Like end of October !? Beginner here, interested to learn the game

you can play until early November if it’s warm, but really end of October is latest. If you’re just learning, take lessons at diversey range for that amount, they’ll give you clubs and everything

Thank you. My friend is actually teaching me tricks and tips. I am also a quick learner when it comes to sports. I want to learn the game with their assistance for now and then spend some money in the beginning of next season.

Golf clubs last forever. I’d recommend hitting up a golf galaxy or something of the like to find some intermediate clubs that you like to swing, then buy a 2-5 year old version of that club off of eBay or Craigslist. This way you get some clubs you can grow into and don’t want to just immediately replace when you start swinging a little harder and the shafts get too flexible for you (typically true starter clubs have super flexible shafts for more forgiveness).

If you really want new, Rick Sheils on YouTube has posted some legit reviews of budget friendly clubs, though not necessarily beginners.

Get something off Amazon as a starter set. Going used could also work, but really depends on what's available wherever you're looking.

Strata is very reputable - I believe Callaway’s starter set - around that price I think

That’s what my wife got - she likes them!

Did a lot of research and bought Strata set on Amazon for $250-300. Lots of solid reviews and was definitely a great starter set. If you have a CostCo membership, they sometimes have ridiculous deals (ie Epic set for $500-600 which is a steal)
