FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Which golf clubs can I trade in?

We accept trade-ins for the vast majority of golf clubs, though a small number of brands or models may fall outside what we can offer credit for, and clubs in very poor condition won't be eligible. If you're unsure whether your clubs qualify, just get in touch with our team and they'll let you know before you go any further.

What details do I need to provide for a quote?

To give you an accurate price, we'll need the full picture of what you're trading in: the brand and model, whether it's right- or left-handed, the loft, how the set is made up, shaft type, grip condition, and whether you have the original headcover. If your clubs have been custom-fitted, details like shaft length, lie angle, or grip size will also help us to value them correctly.

How is the value of my old clubs worked out?

Our team uses current market pricing alongside a clear condition grading system to work out what your clubs are worth and determine your store credit entitlement. They're experienced at assessing wear and tear accurately, and can talk you through how your clubs have been graded if you're not sure what condition they fall into.

You can then choose to use your store credit next time you pay.

How long will the whole process take? Will I get an instant quote?

We strive to deliver a fast service, and typically, it takes up to 5 working days from accepting your quote to receiving your trade-in credit. That covers us arranging collection of your clubs at no cost to you, checking them over on arrival, and getting your new order sorted with the credit applied.

What happens if my clubs arrive in worse condition than expected?

If our team finds your clubs don't quite match the condition stated in your original quote, we'll get in touch with an updated valuation for you to approve. Happy to go ahead? Great, we'll proceed. Not happy with the revised offer? We'll send your clubs back to you, though a small £4.99 shipping cost applies in this case.

Is it worth trading in used golf clubs?

Trading in your golf clubs means you'll receive store credit quickly and easily, which can immediately be put towards investing in your next purchase at Clarkes Golf – making an upgrade as accessible as possible.

Plus, as long as your golf club is in acceptable condition, you’re guaranteed to receive a sale, which isn’t always the case when selling privately.

What’s more, you won’t have to fiddle around with communicating backwards and forwards with a private buyer, taking images, and organising pricing.

Can I sell my golf clubs for cash instead of credit?

We only offer store credit in exchange for golf clubs, which can be put towards your next purchase online or in store.

What types of golf clubs can I trade in?

Here at Clarkes Golf, we accept a variety of authentic, standard golf clubs from a wealth of major brands, mostly taking the condition of your clubs into account when valuing your trade-in.

Using our service, you can trade in:

  • Putters
  • Drivers
  • Hybrids
  • Irons
  • Wedges
  • Chippers
  • And more!
