JUNIOR GOLF CLUBS

Getting a junior golfer started with the right equipment makes the game easier to learn and a lot more fun to play. Kids' golf clubs are designed around younger players - lighter, shorter, and built to help them actually get the ball in the air rather than struggling against clubs that don't fit. Clarkes Golf stocks junior sets and individual clubs from the sport's leading brands, and as an approved stockist with a price match guarantee, you can be confident you're buying quality equipment at a fair price. Browse the range below, or get in touch with the team if you need help finding the right fit for age or height.

Choosing the Right Kids Golf Clubs

The single biggest mistake parents make when buying junior golf clubs is going too big. A child swinging a club that's too long, too heavy, or too stiff will struggle to make solid contact and can easily pick up bad habits early on. The right junior clubs make the game feel achievable, and that keeps kids engaged. Here's what's worth knowing before you buy.

Size Matters More Than Age

Age guidelines are a useful starting point, but height is a much more reliable way to choose the right junior clubs. A taller 10-year-old will need longer clubs than a shorter child of the same age, and getting the length right makes a real difference to how easily they can swing the club and strike the ball. Most manufacturers provide height-based fitting guides alongside their age recommendations, and it's worth using both together. If you're unsure, the Clarkes Golf team are happy to help you work out the right fit based on your child's measurements.

Junior Golf Club Sets: Everything in One Box

For most junior golfers, a complete junior golf club set is the most practical way to get started. Sets are put together with the right number and type of clubs for a younger player - typically a driver, fairway wood or hybrid, a couple of irons, a wedge, and a putter - without overwhelming them with more clubs than they need. The leading brands design these sets specifically for junior players, with lighter shafts, more forgiving heads, and appropriate lofts for a developing swing. It's a straightforward solution that means you're not piecing together a bag from scratch.

Brands Worth Looking At

The major manufacturers all take junior golf seriously. Callaway junior golf clubs are among the most popular, with age-grouped sets that are well-specified and genuinely well-made rather than simply cut-down versions of adult clubs. Ping, TaylorMade, and Cleveland also produce quality junior options across different age groups, and it's worth spending a little time comparing what's included in each set before you decide. A well-made set from a reputable brand will last a junior golfer several years and hold up to the kind of use kids put equipment through.

Left-Handed Junior Golf Clubs

Left-handed junior golfers are well catered for, though the range of options is naturally a little narrower than right-handed. Most of the leading brands produce left-handed versions of their junior sets, so it's worth filtering by hand before you browse to make sure you're looking at relevant options. If you can't find exactly what you're after in the range here, the Clarkes Golf team can help you track down the right left-handed set for your child's age and height.

When to Move Up to a Bigger Set

Junior golf clubs are typically split into age groups - under 6, 6-8, 9-11, and 12-14 being the most common brackets, though these vary between brands. As a general rule, if your child is consistently hitting the ball well and the clubs are starting to feel too short, it's time to move up. Don't be tempted to buy clubs a size up to get more years out of them - playing with clubs that are too long makes it genuinely harder to develop a consistent swing, and the short-term saving isn't worth the long-term impact on their game. For older juniors approaching full adult size, it's worth looking at whether a set of Ladies golf clubs or lighter adult options might be a better fit than a junior set.

Starting Them Right: What Else to Think About

Beyond the clubs themselves, a few other things are worth having in place before a junior golfer heads out on the course. A lightweight junior golf bag that's easy to carry makes a big difference to how much they enjoy the experience. Grip size is also worth checking - junior clubs should come with grips sized for smaller hands, and if they feel too thick or thin, a regrip is a simple and inexpensive fix. Getting the basics right from the start helps juniors enjoy the game more and develop better habits earlier.
