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...

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.
