The price of golf clubs is on the rise, but that doesn't mean you can't find high-performing affordable options. Our team of equipment writers select their favourite models...

Best value bag in 2025

If money were no object, most of us would probably go and splash out ona custom fitting: shiny new woods, new irons, wedges - the lot. However, with the latest drivers costing over £500 (and more), it can be hard to justify spending such a big chunk of cash on one club, let alone getting a full 14-strong bag of brand-new weapons.

The good news is there are some fantastic new clubs that won't break the bank, many of which you can get even cheaper on the second-hand market. We know this because our team of experts have a lot of fun testing all kinds of different equipment. Here, our equipment enthusiasts have picked their favourite options for the best-value golf bag of 2025.

PACKAGE SETS

Why would you buy a package set as opposed to selecting different irons, woods, wedges and a putter? Primarily, convenience - it can save you hunting around and doing lots of research for all the clubs you need. For a lot of golfers, especially those who don't play very often, it's a more appealing option. Although we always recommend going down the custom-fitting route, the fact is, this isn't for everyone.

With its roots dating back to 1907 and a rudimentary nine-hole course close to what is now the town centre, Basingstoke Golf Club has enjoyed a long evolution before settling in to its exciting new home less than two years ago. It is now situated on a gently undulating and perhaps surprisingly peaceful parcel of downland just south of the M3 in Hampshire. And while the club's new course is just a well-struck drive from its previous 15th green, in
