I rented at a local course that had a decent selection, including some Mizuno clubs. They were in great condition! For serious golfers, check courses that cater to corporate events; they often have a higher quality of rentals.
Great tip! I wouldn’t have thought about that. Do you remember which course you rented from?

I’ve used rentals at various courses and honestly, sometimes staff don’t take great care of the clubs. I once got a driver with a loose grip. Just inspect before leaving the shop!
That’s a good reminder! I’d love to hear more about the actual brands available for rent. Can anyone list some names they’ve encountered?
At my last course, they provided both Callaway and Ping clubs. I found the Callaway irons to be excellent! It’s good to know what’s available so you can plan your game better.
Callaway seems to be popular! What’s been your favorite brand for rentals overall?
Honestly, my favorite rental experience was using a full set of TaylorMade clubs. They felt like an extension of my own game. Anyone else have a favorite?
I’ve had a laugh with rentals. One time, the driver was so old it had a persimmon head! The courses I’ve played have mostly offered decent modern clubs though.

It’s always a roll of the dice with rentals. I hope courses realize the importance of offering quality gear since it can make or break a golfing experience!
Most golf courses do rent clubs! Pricing can vary widely, but typically expect to pay around $30 to $50 per round. Some courses offer discounts if you’re a member, so it’s worth checking!
That’s great to know! Do you have any insight on additional fees or insurance options in case of damage?
Insurance is usually an added cost, often around $5. Always ask about return times too; some places require clubs back by sunset!
I’ve seen courses with package deals. For example, you might save by renting clubs for multiple days instead of just one.

Yikes! That’s good to know. I guess it pays to read the fine print!
I’d recommend checking the specific policy of each course you plan to visit. Some are really flexible while others have strict penalties for late returns.
That sounds more budget-friendly! What about if you need clubs for longer than a week?
Many courses will allow extended rentals, sometimes at a discounted rate if you’re taking them for a week or longer.

Don’t forget to check if there’s a maintenance fee if the clubs come back dirty! It’s surprising what hidden charges you can find.
That’s cool! Any recommendations for courses that have good rental options?
Honestly, I’d just suggest calling beforehand. Sometimes hidden gems have great rental setups that aren’t well advertised! Just avoid the courses with a bad reputation for service.
