5 Package Golf Sets For Beginners That Are Worth Checking Out

Before you ask, we haven’t put every beginner package set through full launch monitor testing to see which one flies the farthest. But let’s be honest—a package set is a package set, designed for a specific type of player.

That said, not all package sets are created equal. Factors like club selection, price, material quality and overall value make some stand out. If you’re looking for the best beginner package sets, here are your top options along with reasons to consider them and what you’ll get for your money.

Vice Boost Starter Set

The Vice Boost Starter set is a brand-new option in 2025. It was released on March 4 and it’s specifically designed for golfers who don’t want the headache of piecing together a properly loft-gapped complete set.

Vice keeps it simple with a driver, hybrid, four irons, a pitching wedge, a sand wedge and a blade putter. A women’s Vice Boost Starter set is also available.

Set details

• Clubs included: Driver, hybrid, 6 irons (6-9, PW, SW), blade putter
• Shaft options: Graphite, steel, women’s

✅ What we like

• Price point ($449): Affordable compared to many competitors.
• Data-driven design: Vice utilized HIO Labs data to optimize the set.
• Clean looks: Simple, modern aesthetics appeal to many golfers.
• Women’s option: Graphite shafts and proper women’s length.

❌ What we don’t like

• No customization: Limited ability to tailor clubs to individual needs.
• Gap between hybrid and driver: Lack of a fairway wood creates a challenging distance gap.

Stix Complete Golf Sets

I’ve played with the Stix Perform Club Set several times and, for a package set, it’s one of the best-looking options. The wedges have a nice feel and the putter performs better than expected.

What sets it apart is that it’s a full set of 12 clubs, something many competitors don’t offer. Several of my friends new to golf have been happy with Stix’s quality and price point. The customization in the Perform Club Set is a big plus for golfers who are shorter or taller than average but still want a package set.

Stix also offers the Play Club Set, a more budget-friendly option with fewer clubs, though it doesn’t look as good. At $1,000 for the Perform Club Set, you’re getting everything needed to start playing and when you compare that to 2025 driver prices alone, it’s a solid deal.

Set details

• Play Club Set: Driver, 3W, 4H, 6i-PW, 56°, putter | Woods: graphite; irons and wedges: steel
• Perform Club Set: Driver, 3W, 4H, 6i-PW, 52°, 56°, 60°, putter | Woods: graphite; irons: graphite or steel
• Women’s Club Set: Driver, 3W, 5W, 5H, 6H, 7-PW, 56°, putter | Full graphite, women’s flex

✅ What we like

• Sleek black clubheads: A clean, modern look that stands out.
• Good feel in irons and wedges: Surprising performance for the price.
• Flexible pricing options: Lets you choose how much to invest based on needs.
• Great option for teenagers: With customizable length, this is a smart buy.

❌ What we don’t like

• The driver has noticeable offset: Might not appeal to all players.

Tour Edge Bazooka 470 Complete Set

The Tour Edge Bazooka 470 Complete Set has been around for a while and remains one of the best package sets for beginners thanks to its well-rounded club selection including two fairway woods and two hybrids for better gapping.

Tour Edge consistently delivers quality at a fair price and in our 2025 Best Golf Driver testing, the Tour Edge Exotics E725 was the most accurate driver tested. While this set doesn’t include the E725, it’s a reminder that Tour Edge clubs often fly under the radar but offer great value.

The only thing to note is that graphite-shafted irons come with a cart bag while steel-shafted irons come with a stand bag.

Set Details

• Clubs included: Driver, 3W, 5W, 4H, 5H, 6i-SW, putter
• Shaft options: Graphite (cart bag) or steel (stand bag)

✅ What we like

• Two fairway woods and two hybrids: Provides great gapping for beginners.
• Tour Edge clubs fly under the radar: You get great value with Tour Edge.
• Priced right: Competitive pricing for a full package set.
• Aerodynamic design: Optimized center of gravity makes this a forgiving set.

❌ What We Don’t Like

• Limited customization: No ability to tweak specs to individual preferences.
• Cart vs. Stand Bag trade-off: Graphite shafts only come with a cart bag, while steel shafts are only available with a stand bag.
• Not the newest release: Tour Edge has some newer options but price points are higher.

COBRA Fly-XL

The COBRA Fly-XL sets are always some of the best-performing package sets for beginners and offer strong value. One standout feature is the high-quality 14-way divider cart bag, a step up from the basic bags typically included in beginner sets.

The driver and fairway woods feature heel-biased weighting designed to help straighten out slices.

• Clubs included: Driver, 3W, 4H, 5H, 6i-PW, SW, blade putter
• Shaft options: Graphite or steel, regular/lite/stiff flex

✅ What we like

• Two hybrids for better gapping: High-quality hybrids, a 4H and a 5H.
• COBRA’s proven quality: A trusted brand known for producing high-performance clubs across all categories.
• Upgradable within COBRA’s Lineup: Easy to integrate a top-tier Cobra driver or additional clubs as your game improves.
• Premium cart bag: A step up from typical beginner set bags.

❌ What we don’t like

• No customization: Shaft and spec options are limited to what’s included.
• Slightly higher price point: Not as low as Vice or Tour Edge.

Tommy Armour Evo

The last option on the list is the Tommy Armour EVO set. Of the five options on our list, these clubs look the most like a beginner golf set. The set comes with two hybrids, which is nice, and the irons have a fairly oversized cavity-back for added forgiveness.

There is no customization with the Evo set. You can choose between graphite or steel-shafted irons and wedges.

Set details

• Clubs included: Driver, 3W, 4H, 5H, 6i-9i, PW, SW, mallet putter
• Shaft options: Regular flex – graphite or steel

✅ What we like

• Fair price: A well-rounded set at a reasonable cost.
• Two hybrids for better gapping: The 4H and 5H fill the gap to the 3W nicely.
• Forgiving mallet putter: Perimeter weighting and dual alignment lines.

❌ What we don’t like

• More of a beginner look: Doesn’t have the premium feel of sets like Stix, Vice or COBRA.

Final thoughts

If you are new to golf, purchasing equipment can feel overwhelming. Take advantage of the work these companies have done, putting together some complete set options with proper loft gapping, forgiveness, durability, and value to work specifically for your needs.
