Typical costs: |
- Average sets for casual players range from $200 to $400, depending on the quality of the metal used in the clubs. Stainless steel and partially graphite clubs are generally less expensive than titanium.
- Higher-end sets cost as much as $800, while professional clubs can cost more than $1,000 for just irons, which make up only one component of a complete set.
- For double the price, golfers could indulge in the Men's Adams Tight Lies, which offers a full titanium driver, specialized low fairway woods and oversized heads for the irons for $400.
- Women's sets average around $300 for HiPPO Women's Magia and other models that include a greater focus on woods instead of irons.
- Higher-end women's sets with higher-quality metals by Adams and TaylorMade are available at Golfballs.com for $600 to $800. The Adams a20s set [1] offers a titanium driver, two low fairway woods, two hybrid woods, as well as several irons and a putter for $800.

- A two-year warranty that covers defects in the metal base of the clubs is often included with most sets. Manufacturers will not cover normal wear and tear, like paint scratches.
