1. Golf Club Brokers (That's Us)

We'll put ourselves first — not because we're always the best option for everyone, but because we can explain exactly how our process works with no sugarcoating.

How it works: You get a free quote on our website in about 60 seconds. If you like the offer, we send you a prepaid UPS shipping label. Box up your clubs, drop them at any UPS location, and we send payment within 1 business day of receiving them.

What we pay with: PayPal or check — your choice.

The honest trade-off: You'll likely get less than selling clubs yourself on eBay or locally. That's the cost of convenience. We handle everything — inspection, listing, selling — so you don't have to.

What we buy: Drivers, irons, putters, wedges, fairway woods, hybrids, and full sets. We focus on clubs less than 10 years old in good condition, but get a quote anyway — you might be surprised.

• Free shipping on qualifying orders
• Payment within 1 business day of receiving your clubs
• No fees, no listing, no waiting for a buyer
• 4.9-star Google rating, 50,000+ eBay feedback, 20,000+ sellers served

Best for: People who want cash quickly without the hassle of finding a buyer, taking photos, negotiating, or dealing with shipping logistics.

2. eBay

eBay is still the largest marketplace for used golf clubs. If you have time and don't mind the work, you can often get a higher sale price here than anywhere else.

The catch? Fees eat into your profit more than people realize. eBay takes about 13% between their selling fee and payment processing. Sell a $300 set of irons and you'll walk away with roughly $261 — before shipping costs.

You'll also need to take good photos, write a detailed listing, handle buyer questions, pack and ship the clubs, and deal with potential returns or disputes.

• Largest golf club marketplace with heavy buyer traffic
• Higher sale price potential
• ~13% in fees (eBay + payment processing)
• Shipping costs and packing are on you
• Risk of buyer disputes or returns

Best for: Sellers who have time, are comfortable with online selling, and want to maximize their payout on higher-value clubs.

3. Facebook Marketplace

Facebook Marketplace replaced Craigslist as the go-to for local selling. No fees on local sales, no shipping required, and you get paid in cash on the spot.

The downside is the same as any local selling platform: flaky buyers. You'll get messages from people who never follow up, lowball offers, and no-shows at meetup spots. For a $50 putter, it's probably not worth the effort. For a $500 set of irons, it might be.

• No fees on local sales
• Cash in hand same day
• Limited to your local market (fewer buyers for niche clubs)
• Flaky buyers and no-shows are common
• You handle photos, messaging, and meetups

Best for: Local sales of popular, easy-to-sell clubs where the buyer pool is large enough.

4. OfferUp

OfferUp works a lot like Facebook Marketplace — local classified listings, in-person meetups, cash transactions. The app is clean and easy to use, and their built-in messaging keeps things organized.

Same issues apply, though: limited local buyer pool for golf equipment, and you'll deal with lowballers and no-shows.

• Free to list
• Clean app with good messaging
• Same local-selling challenges as Facebook
• Smaller user base than Facebook Marketplace

Best for: Casual sellers who prefer the OfferUp app over Facebook.

5. PGA Value Guide (Global Golf)

The PGA Value Guide used to be the "Blue Book" for golf clubs. It's now run by Global Golf, and they'll buy your clubs directly.

Here's the thing: their cash offers tend to be lower than other options. Where they get interesting is store credit — they offer about 30% more if you take Global Golf credit instead of cash. So if you're planning to buy new clubs anyway, that's a solid deal.

The biggest complaint we hear? Speed. Cash payments from PGA Value Guide can take weeks, sometimes longer.

• Store credit is 30% higher than cash value
• Cash payouts are slow — sometimes weeks
• Cash offers on the low side
• Good if you're buying replacement clubs from Global Golf

Best for: Golfers who want to trade up and don't mind receiving store credit instead of cash.

6. GolfWRX Classifieds

GolfWRX started as a forum for serious golfers and gear enthusiasts. Their classifieds section attracts knowledgeable buyers who know what clubs are worth — which is great if you're selling premium or rare equipment.

The catch: you need to build a reputation on the forum before people will trust buying from you. It's not a quick-sale platform. But if you've got a set of Miura irons or a limited-edition Scotty Cameron, this is where the buyers are.

• No selling fees
• Knowledgeable buyers who pay fair prices for premium gear
• You need forum reputation before selling
• Niche audience — game improvement clubs are harder to sell here

Best for: Premium or collector-grade clubs where knowledgeable buyers will pay what they're worth.

7. Local Pro Shop or Retail Store

PGA Tour Superstore and local pro shops often accept trade-ins. Walk in with your clubs, walk out with store credit. Simple.

The trade-in values are usually the lowest of any option on this list, and most shops only offer store credit — not cash. But if you're already planning to buy new clubs at that shop, the convenience factor is hard to beat.

• Easiest option — walk in, walk out
• Usually store credit only, not cash
• Trade-in values tend to be the lowest
• Great if you're upgrading at the same store

Best for: Golfers upgrading their equipment who want the simplest possible process and don't need cash.

So Which Option Should You Pick?

Here's a simple way to think about it:

• Want cash fast with no hassle? Get a quote from us. You'll have a number in 60 seconds and a shipping label in your inbox.
• Want the highest possible price and have time? Sell on eBay. Just factor in the ~13% fees and the work involved.
• Selling locally and want to avoid shipping? Facebook Marketplace is your best bet.
• Have premium or rare clubs? Try GolfWRX where collectors and enthusiasts hang out.
• Want to trade up at a retail store? Walk into your local pro shop with your old set.

What About PGA Superstore or Edwin Watts Trade-In Programs?

Both of these retailers have trade-in programs, but they work differently than selling for cash. You bring your clubs in, they give you store credit toward new equipment. The credit values tend to be conservative — they need margin to resell your old clubs.

If you're already shopping at one of these stores, it's convenient. Otherwise, you'll usually do better selling through one of the other options above.

Tips for Getting the Best Price (Any Platform)

1. Clean your clubs. A quick wipe-down with warm soapy water makes a noticeable difference in perceived value.
2. Know your model and year. Buyers want specifics — "TaylorMade Qi35 Max 10.5, Stiff shaft" sells faster than "TaylorMade driver."
3. Include headcovers. Original headcovers add real value, especially for drivers and putters.
4. Take clear photos. If selling on eBay or Marketplace, show the face, sole, shaft label, and any wear marks. Natural lighting helps.
5. Be honest about condition. Nothing kills a sale faster than a buyer discovering damage you didn't disclose.
6. Sell when clubs are still current. Values drop faster than people think. Last year's model is worth more than the one collecting dust for three years.

Frequently Asked Questions

What types of golf clubs can I sell?

Most platforms accept drivers, iron sets, putters, wedges, fairway woods, hybrids, and complete sets. Higher-end clubs and recent models get better offers. Clubs over 10 years old or in poor condition may be harder to sell regardless of platform.

How much are my used golf clubs worth?

It varies widely based on brand, model, age, and condition. A current-year Titleist driver in great shape might fetch $300-400. A 5-year-old set of game improvement irons might be worth $150-250. The fastest way to find out is to get a free quote — it takes about 60 seconds.

Is it better to sell golf clubs online or locally?

Online reaches more buyers and usually gets better prices, especially for niche or premium equipment. Local selling avoids shipping but limits your buyer pool. For common clubs under $100, local might make more sense to avoid shipping hassle. For anything valuable, cast a wider net online.

How do I ship golf clubs safely?

Use a box that fits the clubs snugly — original club boxes work well. Wrap clubheads in bubble wrap or towels. Fill empty space with packing paper so nothing shifts. If you sell to Golf Club Brokers, we send you a prepaid UPS label so you don't have to figure out shipping rates or logistics.

Can I sell counterfeit or replica golf clubs?

No. Selling counterfeit clubs is illegal and no reputable buyer will accept them. If you're unsure whether your clubs are authentic, check out our guide to identifying counterfeit golf clubs or contact us and we'll help you figure it out.
