| We are out for 3 weeks in July and myself and my son are looking to play a few rounds of golf at a variety of courses. Instead of renting clubs for each game does anyone know if it is possible to rent a couple of sets of clubs for a 2 week period. Do any of the golf shops/courses do this.
Thanks

| I'm sure you can rent over a period of three weeks, especially if you explain your situation and ask a friendly pro if he'll do you a deal. I would imagine you'd be looking in the region of around $80 - $100 per set, per week.
Failing that, why not pop into Walmart where you can currently buy a full set (inc bag) of Wilsons for the mighty sum of $174 - that's about £90 and a junior set (depends how old your son is) for even less.
At the end of the holiday you could either : bring them home; leave them somewhere if you intend to return; or sell them on to a FL pro shop which would probably give you £20 or so for them.
Even cheaper of course, is to take your own. We put THREE reduced sets (say 5 irons, a couple of woods plus putter)in lightweight pencil bags, throw them into one golf travel bag, make sure it weighs under the maximum for a piece of luggage and bob's yer uncle. Of course it counts as one of your luggage items but if three or four are travelling, it's not much of a problem.
It depends what you mean by "a few rounds" and whether you are serious golfers. If it's only one round a week for three weeks, I could put up with rented clubs ; if it's going to be more like six rounds, I'd rather play with my own stuff.
Hope this helps your thinking and planning.
Enjoy. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

| Thanks for your advice. I have been looking at taking our own but need to weigh them first to check that I can get 2 sets in at under 25kg. There are 5 of us travelling so overall we have enough allowance. I am also 6ft 5 and have slightly extended clubs so would like to take my own if possible. I like the idea of leaving our large bulky bags behind and using slim pencil bags as we will not be carrying the clubs at all as we would be using a buggy.

| | I played Falcon's Fire 2 weeks ago and the rental clubs were $50, but with a coupon there was $25 off, so I got the rental set for $25. The choice of clubs I had were:- Callaway, Titliest, Taylor Made, Mizuno, Cleveland or Ping G10's. | | Report this post to a moderator | goto top of page |

Where did you get the coupon for the half price club rental from. Falcon's fire is one of the courses I have driven past and would like to play but the club rental price has put me off. But if you can get it for $25 a set then It is back on my list.
