Best Places for Used Golf Clubs: Online and In-Store

We’re here to help you find the equipment you need for your next time on the tee at your favorite local course!

If you’re relatively new to the game of golf, one of the first things you’ll notice quite quickly is the cost of equipment. (And if you’re a seasoned player, you’re probably very familiar with all of those costs). Some say you’ll need to buy clubs that are shiny and new so they will last you longer, but we know that is untrue. In fact golf clubs, good golf clubs mind you, are made with durability in mind. 

So buying used is a-okay and also vastly cheaper than getting swindled by a greedy salesperson to buy something that’s fresh off the table. There’s no need to waste all of your hard-earned money on clubs straight out of the manufacturer every year, used clubs can be found in great condition for your next game out of the greens. 

The important thing to note is where you buy matters, and we’ve got a list of the best places for used golf clubs both online and in-store. And we’re not just talking about one city, no these stores all either have shipping to each state in the country or have locations in/around your city. Let’s take a look:

Our story is a simple one, what started out as a side-venture in the highs and lows of selling shoes on eBay, has now turned around to be a business with 20 full-time employees, a 15,000 square foot warehouse, and relationships with private golf courses all over the U.S. At StickHawk you can make your putting dreams come true as we sell quality drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, iron sets, single irons, wedges, putters, complete club sets for those who need the basics to play today, and accessories. We want to match you with the golf club(s) of your dreams. You can take our “Club Decider Quiz,” which is clickable on the bottom right hand side of our website, and it will help you decide the exact right make and models you need to feel good while you’re on the course.

We really care that you’re getting the right golf clubs, we don’t just sell to sell. We mentioned our “Find the right clubs” quiz- (which will either be as a “pop up” as you go onto our homepage or you will see it once you scroll down to the bottom of the screen and you’ll know you’re in the right place when you see our Hawk mascot holding gold clubs like a real player). The team has spent hours coming up with and designing the right questions to find you the golf clubs that’ll fit you at your skill level. 

Just like an artist needs a certain brush and a chef likes a certain knife, golfers know what they like and more importantly, are particular about what they like. We find ourselves in that boat as well, don't worry. Luckily we’ve created a search engine with every refinement you can think of so you can have the tools to search for exactly what you need. 

Go to the StickHawk website, search by category: Drivers, Fairway Woods, Hybrids, Iron Sets, Single Irons, Wedges, Putters, and/or Complete Sets; then you can refine the search by quality, dexterity, loft, club length, shaft flex, shaft material, shaft type, and weight. Here you will get a detailed report of each club as well as high-quality pictures you’re able to zoom in on so you can see any knicks and wear on the head and face. Pick what speaks to you and check them out in just a few easy steps.

One aspect, amongst many, that makes us stand out from the crowd is our fast and reliable shipping. There’s no need to worry about finding the right club and then not getting it in time to go on the greens. We want you to get out and play just as much as you do, that’s why we offer free shipping on all domestic orders, (unless you choose expedited shipping at checkout). Nothing says better golf like better savings!

Find your used golf clubs here at Stick Hawk!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Trustpilot Review from Rose K. of StickHawk: “I had to open an account which was very easy. I ordered a golf driver for my grandson and it arrived very fast (3 days). The club actually looked better in person than on the website. I would highly recommend buying from this website.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Trustpilot Review from Colin R. of StickHawk: “Awesome experience. Shipping was extremely fast. Scanned the internet for days and could not find better prices. Clubs came exactly as described and i think the condition score on their website was very accurate. Ended up with nearly new full set of irons for way less than a brand new set. Candidly I will probably never buy new again. Will be using Stickhawk for all club purchases in the future.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Google Review from Anonymous of StickHawk: “StickHawk is great. I can usually find what I am looking for at a reasonable price and it is shipped quickly with free shipping. Free shipping is a huge plus and often is the deciding factor on which site I purchase from. I recently looked at a Nike Ignite driver ON ANOTHER SITE 2 hours from home and they wanted $30.00 for shipping. I won't bother with them anymore. StickHawk is the go-to.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Google Review from Anonymous of 2nd Swing Golf: “I recently purchased some golf equipment from 2nd Swing Golf, and I must say my experience was exceptional! One of the standout features of my order was the punctuality. Shipping was not only fast, but it was also incredibly reliable. My items arrived right on schedule, which is a huge plus when you’re eager to hit the course. The packaging was also impressive; everything arrived in great condition, ensuring that my gear was well protected during transit. It’s clear that 2nd Swing takes care in handling their products. Overall, I couldn’t be happier with my experience. If you’re looking for a trustworthy place to purchase golf equipment, I highly recommend 2nd Swing Golf.

⭐⭐⭐⭐Trustpilot Review from David T. of 2nd Swing Golf: “I was able to trade in some old clubs and reduce the price of a new set of Ping G440 irons and fairway woods. I already had my fitting paper work. Thanks to Rob T. for assisting me in the building of my new set.”

⭐Google Review from Anonymous of 2nd Swing Golf: “I waited 3 weeks for a club in which time at week 3 after I reached out they told me there was a glitch and the shaft I selected didn’t exist and the shaft that I selected was a ln up charge to the original they said was available on the website Then I had to wait another 4 weeks to receive the club, they blamed it on Titleist but ultimately it was their mistake, also the club was cut shorter than the specified specifications, just an incredibly poor experience and they sent me a dozen balls in apology, when they should of refunded my money completely, absolutely unreal.”

We’re now taking a look at Global Golf, one of the other famous online retailers for used golf clubs. They have been around for a long time compared to other supplies, since the early 60’s in fact and they have seen the game grow and change over the years and have adapted with it.

They started selling Pre-Owned/Used in 2000 and now comfortably has the “world’s largest selection” of pre-owned and used golf clubs available to purchase. They even have what they call the “Second Chance” club which is a place where other golfers have returned their clubs, apparel, and accessories and Global Golf is now re-selling it to you, in order to give these pieces of equipment…a second chance. With trade-in’s also available, you can find your used golf clubs in a variety of ways at Global Golf.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐Google Review from Anonymous of Global Golf: “I purchased two used clubs and some apparel. The selection and pricing were fantastic, and shipping was quicker than I expected. The clubs I received were in better shape than promised, with one looking just about brand new. It is amazing. The other, despite showing more signs of wear, is in great shape, and still retains it's usefulness. The range balls have been flying so far, and I can't wait to get on a course with these clubs. I also can't wait to wear the new gear I picked up at awesome prices, with a buy 2, get one free deal on Nike apparel, my favorite for it's fit and comfortability. I will definitely be shopping at GlobalGolf again very soon.”

⭐Trustpilot Review from Pj C. of Global Golf: “They advertised a ladies Cleveland Satin Wedge in very good condition for $90. I wish I could include a picture of this club, it's trash. For $20 I can get one in excellent condition. I will never, ever shop there again. Now I have to go thru the hassle of the return. And I a nice grip added to the club that in not getting an option to return? Horrible site. Shop elsewhere”

Finding used golf clubs online or out in the world doesn’t have to be complicated, especially when you have such great resources like StickHawk that’s got your back.
