Looking at buying my first set of golf clubs. I found this on marketplace & was looking for opinions on if these are good beginner clubs?

$400 for this set is practically a new set. I would ask fot half.
Holy tarrifs, I bought this set new 5 years ago for $300.
First, the clubs are fine for a beginner. They’ll get you to the next level of catching the golf bug.
But, in my experience with those clubs, just save some money and skip to real clubs. You’ll have more fun If you want to skip the ‘beginner set’.
Some golfers are absolute psychos and buy new clubs every season, making reaaaallly good deals on Callaway Preowned for barely used stuff…..here are some current good beginner options:
Irons 6 – SW, $200ish

Driver, $80

Hybrid 5, $35

Putter, $40 ( you can also buy whatever feels good at your local shop, used )

That’s really all you need to get going. Maybe try out a fairway wood or a lower hybrid. Get a golf bag at a garage sale.
The Canadian used market kinda sucks… I just bought some clubs and I chose to go new on sale because I wasn’t saving all that much. That being said, if you’re on a tight budget 400 for that set is pretty good, where I’m at the strat set was going for 500-600
If you find a native reserve which has a golf club, sometimes they have reps there, you can get your next big boy clubs there tax free.
Also, make sure you go get fitted after a couple of months so that you know what you need.
Please, if you are an atheltic individual do not get regular flex. Others, please comment if I’m overprescribing.
Think you can get the callaway set from Costco for like 100$ more. This set is not worth 400$ imo.
look into a set of Clones
Where in Canada are you? It’s a bit late in the season but Play It Again Sports usually has a great selection of used clubs that will probably be better than a set like this
$250-$275 tops, beginner golf clubs have lil resale value
