Looking for a quality golf club but don’t want to spend a fortune? Kirkland’s brand of golf clubs may be the answer for you.
This brand is made by some of the best in the business and they’ve been praised by amateur and professional golfers alike.
But who makes these clubs, and are they actually worth the money? Let’s find out!
Here's What We'll Cover
The Controversial History of Kirkland Golf
Kirkland is the golf brand for popular retailer Costco, where they sell they golf clubs and other equipment.
While Costco has been around since 1983, Kirkland Golf wasn’t created until 2016 when they came into the space with their popular signature golf balls.
And a few years later, in 2018, Kirkland Golf was sued for their golf balls infringing patents by being too similar to the popular Titleist Pro V1 golf balls.
They’ve since relaunched V2.0 of their signature golf balls, which have received solid reviews over the years.
Now that we’ve covered their history, let’s get into everything you need to know about their clubs.
Kirkland Golf Clubs
Since Costco sells Kirkland golf clubs at their warehouses, it’s likely they use a third-party manufacturer to produce the clubs.
And after the clubs are produced by the manufacturer, they’re sold under the brand Kirkland.
Kirkland Golf Putters
In June of 2020, they launched their first golf club – a putter called the Kirkland Signature KS1.
Similar to Kirkland’s signature golf ball design, the KS1 putter caused controversy as it resembled the popular Scotty Cameron Newport.
Although they appear similar, the Kirkland Signature KS1 is a lot more affordable than the premium Scotty Cameron Newport.
Most people believe this putter is produced in a Chinese manufacturing facility before being shipped and sold!
Here’s a look at the Kirkland Signature KS1 putters specifications:
- Gender: Unisex
- Hand: Right
- Head Material: Steel
- Head Weight: 11.99 oz (340 grams)
- Loft: 3 Degree
- Shaft Length: 34.5 in (87.63 cm)
It’s made with 100% CNC Milled 303 Stainless Steel and uses the SuperStroke CounterCore Mid Slim 2.0 Putter Grip.
And that’s not all, it has fully adjustable heel and toe weighting as well!
Kirkland Golf Wedges
After having success selling their putter, Kirkland decided to launch a set of golf wedges later in 2020.
The 3-piece wedges aren’t fully customizable but they come with the standard lofts at an affordable price making them a perfect option for amateurs.
Here’s a look at the Kirkland Signature 3 Piece Wedge Set specifications:
- Gender: Unisex
- Hand: Right
- Gap Wedge (Or A-Wedge): Loft 52 degrees, Bounce 10 degrees
- Lob Wedge: Loft 60 degrees, Bounce 8 degrees
- Sand Wedge: Loft 56 degrees, Bounce 10 degrees
Add in the fact they’re using the milled face technology and a wedge flex shaft by true temper, and you can see why they’re such a great choice.
And yes, they’re USGA approved so you can use them in competitive or casual play without any worries!
