Best Kids Golf Clubs in 2025: Get your juniors into the game in the best way this year!
Last updated:
Choosing the best kids golf clubs for your junior player can be a difficult one. We’ve found the best equipment in the game to make your choice and their happiness easier to find
Golf manufacturers are working a lot harder to satisfy the demands of parents, who increasingly understand just how important club fitting is, even for the best kids golf clubs and the young golfers who swing them.
Most brands offer a box set option, tailored to the height of the player, but there is also plenty of scope to customise your kids’ golf clubs, so both ends of the market are satisfied in that respect.
The boom in golf is certainly filtering through to junior players with more and more youngsters taking up the game in the hope of becoming the next Rory McIlroy or Tiger Woods. So we’ve brought together our selection for the best kids golf clubs on offer, to make sure that no matter their edge, your little one can take to the course with comfort and ease in their equipment.
And be sure to check out our features on the best kids’ shoes, beginner golfer guides, best golf balls for beginners, and our in-depth guide to the World Handicap System to start their journey in the best way.
Best Kids Golf Clubs 2025
Perfect for fast developers or the stronger juniors
US Kids are a specialist in kids' golf equipment (if it wasn't obvious by the name) for every standard of player that we bring into the game, and they back that up most with the Tour Series 5 junior package set.
Available in both Right and Left-Handed options is already a great start, but the TS5 models are also built to be swung by kids who've taken a shine to the game and have developed a rapid swing, or, at least, are showing a strength beyond what a standard junior set will handle.
One of the more expensive sets on the market, US Kids justify it with the inclusion of both steel and graphite options, shafts that have been both frequency-matched and spined to ensure consistency, as well as being available in player heights from 51" to 69", so any junior golfer can switch into these clubs.
You may have noticed a missing putter in the photos, too, but fear not; US Kids run a policy of offering an extra club free of charge when you register a purchase of five clubs or more with them!
Pros
- Comes in both Left and Right-Handed
- Higher strength for the more developed junior
- Selection of lengths from 51" to 69"
- Two options for color; Navy or Black/White
Cons
- Left-Handed sets are $50 more
- Doesn't come with putter in box (register clubs to receive for free)
| Set Configuration | Driver, 3-Wood, 4-Hybrid, 5-PW Irons, and Sand Wedge (Additional club, including putter option, given free when registered) |
| Includes a bag? | Yes, two colors (Navy or Black/White) |
| Available in Left-Handed? | Yes |
| Suitable for Junior Girls? | Not gendered |
The best option for a junior custom fit
Firstly, you can order Prodi G clubs in a custom fit to the same standard as a full adult set, with custom lengths and lies all movable to suit your child. It's a fantastic starting point, meaning the clubs your kid is using are tailored to them as best as can be, without quite spending the money required to access the mainline series offered by any of the top brands in the game.
Where Ping backs up their product further, though, is when purchasing a 5-piece set or more (irons are priced individually at $109.99, so an iron set will come in at just under $550), Ping offer a program called 'Get Golf Growing.'
The program allows for a one-time resizing of your junior set to suit them as they grow. This means you're effectively getting two sets for the price of one, as the company will rebuild the clubs to a new length once they've outgrown the initial fitting.
It's a stellar offer, and one we massively endorse, considering both quality of product and ability to ensure the set will be usable for a lot longer than any other brand.
Pros
- The best option for custom fit junior clubs
- Fully engineered for juniors
- Re-fitting option is outstanding customer service
Cons
- Getting close to the price of a full adult set
| Set configuration | Driver, Fairway Woods, Hybrids, Irons, Wedges, and Putters all available and priced individually |
| Includes a bag? | No |
| Available in Left-Handed? | Yes |
| Suitable for Junior Girls? | Custom lengths available down to -2" from Std |

Mizuno's first junior sets, available in two distinct age ranges
The Japanese brand have decided on two different collections to offer, and they're separated by club selection and age range, to make it simple to know which one is right for your child.
JM01 140 model offers a 7-piece set that is suitable for ages 10-12 (Mizuno say that beyond this age, their adult golf equipment will be more practical to juniors, albeit cut and balanced to their height). The seven clubs included are Driver, Fairway Wood, Hybrid, 7-Iron, 9-Iron, Sand Wedge, and a putter, with the woods and flatstick coming with headcovers to add protection from dings.
The JM01 120 package is a 5-piece set suited to 6-9 year-olds, that also comes in at $100 less for that reduction. It contains a Driver, Fairway Wood, 7-Iron, 9-Iron, and Putter.
Both the 140 and 120 come with a (we think pretty cool, actually!) Mizuno-branded bag that can be carried via a dual strap or put onto an appropriate cart.
Pros
- 7-Piece set covers all youor young golfer's needs
- High Quality brand
- Includes bag and headcovers
Cons
- Non-adjustable beyond the appropriate age range
| Set Configuration | JM01 140 7-Piece - Driver, Fairway Wood, Hybrid, 7-Iron, 9-Iron, Sand Wedge, Putter / JM01 120 5-Piece - Driver, Fairway Wood, 7-Iron, 9-Iron, Putter |
| Includes a bag? | Yes, Mizuno-branded junior carry bag |
| Available in Left-Handed? | Not currently |
| Suitable for Junior Girls? | Not gendered |
The littlest clubs for our youngest new sparks
With that out of the way, let's consider why you might want to buy this set of clubs for your kids (beyond the photo opportunity).
Shorties golf clubs are built around making the most out of junior golf swings by offering a club that matches in with their current level. This includes considering the appropriate levels of strength they possess, as well as their height and weight, to fit their clubs around letting them create proper swing mechanics.
Clubs that are too much work for your junior are going to cause long-term swing flaws where they compensate for poor balance, or possibly cause injuries and developmental concerns.
To make sure your little one is just as happy as you are, Shorties also come in four different color choices, in both Left and Right-Handed options. Colors include Blue, Gray, Pink, and Red, so they can suit the style of any junior golfer.
Pros
- Great selection of colors for any style or gender
- Easy to hit for our youngest players
- Extremely lightweight construction
- Adorable
Cons
- Not many club options to add into the bag later
| Set Configuration | Driver, 30º Hybrid, 7-Iron, Pitching Wedge, Putter |
| Includes a bag? | Yes, Blue, Gray, Pink, and Red options |
| Available in Left-Handed? | Yes, all colors |
| Suitable for Junior Girls? | Not gendered |

A brilliant set, built for style and quality
Complete sets for both, including a carry bag, are offered in multi-tier levels or sizes based on junior height instead of just quoting an age. This makes it much easier to determine which set is appropriate for your young player so their comfort and swing can be properly managed.
With Level 1, our shortest set and one made for the youngest players, you'll get a 4-piece set of Fairway Wood, 7-Iron, Sand Wedge, and putter.
Level 2 gives an additional two clubs, of Driver and 9-Iron, for the advancing strength at the increased height, and Level 3 is a 7-piece set, which adds a Hybrid while swapping the 9-Iron for an 8-Iron. Level 3 is also the tallest set, suitable for golfer heights of 54 to 61 inches.
Pros
- Color options and style will keep your junior happy
- Genuine thought and quality brought into the whole line
- Suitable for any gender and level of junior
Cons
- Lacks fitting options
| Set Configuration | XJ1: 4-piece - Fairway Wood, 7-iron, Sand Wedge and Putter / XJ2: 6-piece - Driver, Fairway Wood, 7-iron, 9-iron, Sand Wedge and Putter / XJ3: 7-piece - Driver, Fairway Wood, Hybrid, 7-iron, 8-iron, Sand Wedge, Putter |
| Includes a bag? | Yes |
| Available in Left-Handed? | Yes |
| Suitable for Junior Girls? | Non gendered |
Play like Rory McIlroy, with three categories to match any junior's size
The junior clubs themselves come in a 3-size variety, which varies in price from $249.99 for the smallest 'Size 1', up to $499.99 for the largest 'Size 3' set.
At each tier, the amount of clubs you get increases, hence the price changes, from a 4-piece to a 7-piece, and includes a suitably cool carry bag for your junior. The clubs themselves are of good quality, and TaylorMade have clearly put in some effort to give these clubs shelf appeal as well.
We do like TaylorMade's offering, but we'd like to see a little more in aftermarket options to add to the set, like more irons and wedges, to really make it go from good to great for a kid's set.
Pros
- Clear sizes are great for matching your junior
- Bag included is comfortable to carry
- Kids will love matching brands with TaylorMade's players, like Rory McIlroy
Cons
- No options for fitting
| Set Configuration | Size 1 - Fairway Wood, 7-Iron, Wedge, Putter / Size 2 - Driver, Hybrid, 7-Iron, Wedge, Putter / Size 3 - Driver, Fairway Wood, Hybrid, 7-Iron, 9-Iron, Wedge, Putter |
| Includes a bag? | Yes, all three sizes |
| Available in Left-Handed? | Yes |
| Suitable for Junior Girls? | Non gendered |
Best Kids Golf Clubs 2025: FAQs
What is the best golf brand for kids?
While we wouldn’t want to push one brand over any other, as many produce exceptional product for any level of golfer, we’re big fans of the team over at US Kids. The company offer the biggest selection of junior clubs, in length, club choice, and weight, from any brand in the game.
When you also consider that with a 5-club purchase, US Kids will also give you a choice of any 6th club for free, it’s difficult for us to offer anywhere else for you to at least start.
What size golf clubs should I buy for my child?
Most brands offer a guide on the length of clubs that will best suit your child. Mainline adult manufacturers tend to provide rough age guides – 6 to 9, 10 to 12, etc – to help you choose the best set, whereas brands that specialize in junior products favor measuring the height of the golfer.
Shorties and US Kids offer rising scales as kids grow, so clubs can be better for juniors who may have grown faster or slower than their age range.
What is the best age to get kids into golf?
You can start juniors as soon as you want to, as long as they have an appropriate length of golf clubs for their build (see the above question for advice on this). The only real key we’d say is to get your kids involved in golf in a way that suits them. Forcing juniors into beating balls on a driving range for hours, or dragging them round the course when they want to go home, may well turn them away from golf.
As long as they enjoy it their way, you’ll have a player for life, whether they become the next Tiger Woods or not.
What clubs should a junior golfer carry?
Juniors should ideally start with four clubs. One club should be off the tee and occasionally the fairway, a driver or fairway wood.
The next should be a mid-iron, something they can learn to make a full iron swing with, like a 7-iron.
Second to last is a short-iron or wedge, 9-iron, Pitching Wedge, or Sand Wedge is perfect to use around the green.
Finally, a putter to be used on the green itself will finish off the ideal starting bag.
This is a great base to begin with, and you can add clubs as you see fit to suit a need, provided we don’t overwhelm our children with the weight of the clubs in the bag they’re carrying.
