- Are COSTCO Kirkland Wedges OVERHYPED!? An HONEST REVIEW! When buying new golf clubs it’s important to think about the price of golf clubs. Where should you buy new golf clubs from? In this video I test the new Costco Kirkland Signature wedges… Costco golf products seem to be all the rage at the moment, and buying cheap golf clubs can work just as well as expensive golf clubs… are these clubs brilliant? Or a waste of money… let’s find out… and let’s do it now!
I've been using the wedges all this season. Bought them as a curious novelty (along with the putter) and I was very surprised. They are in my bag to this day. Alot of bang for your buck.
Been gaming these for months now as replacements for my Mizuno S18s. Regripped them right out of the box. I find them less forgiving than the Mizunos but better spin and trajectory/distance control.
Awesome
They certainly look the part. Good, fair review, James. Some pros still suffer from either brand snobbery, or perhaps fear of the big brand's reactions, (in access or other perks), so seem reluctant to praise smaller or value brands. This is not the case with you, as your recent reaction to the new Takomo irons demonstrates. Subscribed
I used them last season, love them. Did upgrade to callaway jaws but seeing how all 3 of the kirtland are the price of one new jaws wedge I highly recommend them. Still have them and the filled out my travel bag.
I know this video is a year old, but anybody that sees this at the end of 2022, know this. These wedges are on sale at Costco right now for $120 for the set. Incredible value. They are discontinued, so get em while they last.
Just picked them up for $60. Might be able to do a price adjustment
$229 In Australia
I paid $185 in March ‘23
I saw the lot of Kirkland golf equipment at Costco last week. I stopped and gave them a thought, but kept on shopping. It's nice to see a review on them.
Would the golfers who would consider buying these actually notice a performance difference with a "premium" brand. Subscribed
Check out the review on TXG. Their answer was “no” and they’re in the business of selling and fitting premium equipment. I’m about to replace my old Cleveland wedges with these as soon I find a local store that has them in stock.
@@lindsaynewell6319 and Arica shield said they are as good as the TM milled grind 3 just depends wether your a golf snob lol going to buy some not seen a bad review tbh
Hi James, George here in Denver Colorado! Well done my man! I was thinking of spending about $300.00 US dollars on three new wedges and I will go to Costco to make the wedge purchase today just because you are cheering for the average golfer to have excellent rounds. Well done, well done. If you ever make it to Denver, we'd like to invite you out for 9 or 18 holes at the club! Cheers GGIII

These wedges and the Takomo 101 irons are on my buy list.
I’ve been using the KS1 putter all year and simply love it. Definitely need the weight in the grip though.
Happy Saturday James. Trying to work off some of the Turkey and pumpkin pie that we consumed by myself during Thanksgiving here in the US. As I have mentioned before, Santa will be bringing me the Kirkland putter, I would love to have the wedges in my bag. I have too playing buddies that have these wedges and they love them. Both of their games have benefited from them.
If I am fortunate enough to win these fine wedges I would love to play with you when I make a trip to the UK. It is on my bucket list, maybe in 2023. Really enjoy the channel.
An excellent review. So much so, I just bought a set based on your review. All 3 are In the bag but I may re-grip in the spring. For now the grip is fine, just a bit thin. They are so soft off the face.
I have these in my bag. To good of a deal and the quality is amazing. Better quality than my Taylor made irons.
I'm subscribed, and have gamed these wedges all season, and look forward to having them re-gripped for next season, because I agree that the grip is pretty much the only weak spot on them.
If someone is curious about them, do remember that Costco (at least in the US) has a no-questions-asked return policy. Buy them, try them out for a round or two, if you don't like them, return them for a refund.

Tend to use the Kirkland glove and love it. Superb durability.
Never seen the wedges or ever seen these wedges in anyones bag tbf but they do look superb with high end components.
Great video as ever.
Subscribed- sometimes we get so het up about the names and what the pro’s use but in my opinion if they work why not use them.
And by the way I was that guy where they have to be the new ones out and after a month I couldn’t use them either.
Cheers great video👍
So I have converted over to these wedges. I was playing Clevelands RTX's previously (and I loved them!). But I am being told you should replace your wedges every couple years or so. When brand name wedges are $150-$200, I can learn to live with the limitation in options and get used to these clubs (which wasn't difficult tbh). Spending $150 every couple of years on all your wedges beats the hell out of spending $450 in the same timeframe. I can blow that money on a new driver Lol.
Have tried the Kirkland balls and find them excellent, maybe a fraction shorter with the woods, but only about £1.10 each. You get 24 and I haven't lost one yet - always the way with cheaper golf balls. Will most probably get these wedges when it's time to change. If i dont like them then I'll get most of my money back on eBay.
Subscribed. I like the lack of choice for my level of play and cheap enough so I can put lots of practice in without worrying about destroying an expensive wedge
Subscribed. I have been looking at these wedges, but not having a Costco down here in the South West means I cant actually look at them, I only have a LW in my bag currently. They look decent tho, great review, thanks Janes 👌⛳
Subscribed - this makes loads of sense, just getting into golf this year and when you’re still getting your head around equipment it’s good to hear “yeah these are worth it for a beginner for the price, but here’s why…”
Bought 2 dozen Kirkland balls. Excellent balls. My Kirkland 4 pack gloves were equal to any Leather glove I even put on. Not enough time on them to see how they last. I’m considering these wedges to replace my Vokey 50, 54, and 56. I hit a 52 at a range a guy had.Heads are lighter and leading edge is pretty thin for me. It spun like mad.
SUBSCRIBED. Iv been using the Kirkland ball for 2 years and think it's the best ballformoney you can get . Happy someone is giving the big boys a run for their money
Subscribed!!
I would to play with these wedges James. Thank you for the oppurtunity!⛳🏌♂️
Subscribed and happy that I am. Just purchased a Vokey SM 7 58 degree today at a garage sale for $40 and it is in excellent condition.
What a great demo… I am a 15 HCP and have been looking for a 56 wedge and why not get three wedges for price of one ?
Thanks for a great review
A good review as usual. But I will stay with my Acer XB wedges. Same loft with a D Grind. $92US delivered from eBay.
Interest in these Kirkland wedges certainly seems to be growing doesn’t it James? I’d love to give them a go. Great review, I subscribed a good few months now, thanks for the great content!
Yes - for most mid/high handicap players to get a more specialist wedge
No - for mid/low handicap golfers after something more versatile (change in loft/lie/length/bounce/grind)
Subscribed.
Whilst you're not exactly on my doorstep, I'd happily make the effort to come and pick these up from you, and enjoy a round at your club.
Subscribed. Bought these about 8 months ago, cannot fault the absolute value for money these wedges are. They’re easily as good as a single priced £120 wedge. Use the glove as well, same again good quality, value outstanding.
I’ve been deliberating over getting his wedge set, watching and reading lots of reviews that led me to your video. This has tipped me over the edge to getting them, and subscribed to your channel now too. Great review
Had them in the bag for about a year or so, I’m no brand snob obvs, they do a fantastic job for the level of golf I play( high handicapper)
I’ve been playing these for a few months. Regripped them as soon as I bought them. I like mid-size grips on all my clubs. They are a great value for the average golfer..
Really wanted to love these - certainly think they look just like the Vokeys. But 2 range sessions and 2 rounds and the ferrules on 2 of the 3 started coming away from the head. Had to take them back. Negatives for me on top of that were the grips and the shafts felt very light versus the regular wedge shafts in name-brand wedges. Pros were the look and obviously the price. Costco takes pretty much anything back within 90 days, so I may give them another try to see if maybe I just got a couple of bad ones. I'd prefer 50/54/48.
I live in Phoenix, AZ and the courses here are hard/firm desert courses. If I ever played these, would need to bend them 2* strong to remove 2* of bounce making for a 50/54/58 set. Something I have often considered doing, but just never pulled the trigger.
Subscribed. As I am currently wedge-less, I am enjoying all reviews to gather up info.
Great review, I’ve bought my dad these for Xmas. We’ve both used the balls for a few years & love them. Haven’t played the putter but had a few practice swings in the shop & the weight feels like it’ll be pretty decent too. I also got my das the gloves a while back & he’s more than happy with them too
Subscribed. Only discovered your channel about 4 weeks ago but have been back and watched a lot of your back catalogue. Really excellent content keep it up
Subscribed. I use the putter and for the money its superb
When looking to replace my wedges these will probably end up in my bag
Subscribed. Biggest problem in my game is the short stuff. Been watching you and Chris, but maybe these are the answer?
Subscribed. Great honest review. Keep the great content coming. These look amazing and would slot nicely into my bag.
I have been considering these wedges for a while as they are at the degrees I play with. Unfortunately the face on my current wedges are very worn and I don't particularly want to spend the world to replace them
Bought them last spring to start off the season. Had a set of mismatched Cleveland wedges that I found weren’t helping me be very consistent. Tried the three wedges for the price of one and loved them. $170 for the set here in Canada which is the price for a single Cleveland wedge. I think my short game was actually the best part of my game this summer.🤔😏
I’ve been wanting a 52 or 54 for some time now and is a club i’ve been desperately needing. subscribed and great review!
Subscribed. Ideally with stronger lofts on PWs now (45 degrees) the mix would be 50-54-58, but not complaining
"Subscribed". Love seeing reviews of cheap golf equipment because it can prove a point that the cheaper stuff can be good (or awful) for amateurs looking to get decent quality equipment for a cheap price.
200 k is so deserved ( you put in so much work ) great work at that.
Would love to win these wedges absolutely but being subbed to your channel is a win in its self.
Cheers.
I’m subscribed and local! Good vid mate. PS go easy on us Blades. We’re in turmoil…saw a cheeky tweet on us the other day. Pray for us 😂
Subscribe - I've only been playing golf again since August after a lay off of 20 years! Love what these UA-cam do for the game, it's brilliant.
Subscribed - For the price it seems like you really can't lose with them, especially if just starting off or just play for fun or recreationally when starting off building a bag.
Love what you do James, your energy and the passion of this game you transmit! Subscribed of course! Stay as you are and keep making top videos! Thank you!
Subscribed. I think they look fantastic and I really appreciate your honest reviews. Your reviews are helping me learn what to get in order for me to get back into golfing. Thanks man
Subscribed - Thoroughly enjoying your content, it’s helping my game improve no end!
Subscribed - Iv been looking at these for months now and I think this review has sealed the deal.
Great video as always. I recently put these wedges and the putter in the bag and love them. Are they as good as my old Vokeys… no but they are damn close. Close enough that I am not gonna tell the difference. Definitely worth the money, even if they aren’t as durable. Buy new ones every year if you have to. Still cheaper than anything else. I’m an 18 hcp by the way.
I received the putter as an Xmas gift last year, loved it so much I bought a second for my travel set. I'd sure could use those wedges to complete my second set.
Subscribed! Would love these in my bag, but would love a round with you more as this might even be more valuable to my game right now. Keep the reviews and fun coming.
Subscribed. Using the kirkland balls already as tend to lose a couple on route around the course!! Wedges would be perfect
I've been playing around a year now all I've got is a sw and pw in my set so these would be great for me. Great video
Would be great for my game.subscribed love the channel ..
Bought these recently and impressed so far, just getting yardage dialled in. Hope the Peroni was nice James!!
Would love to play a round with you and Chris! Just need you guys to come to Vegas. My treat! I keep seeing these clubs every time I am in Costco but never have hit one. Would be fun to try. Love my SM8s but 3 for the price of one is game changing if they perform.
Subscribed. I have been playing with the KS1 Putter for nearly a year (definitely improved my putting averages), thus been toying with the idea of getting these as well. Seeing how you peppered those greens has made up my mind for me (although I doubt I will pepper as well as you however anything to give me confidence out of the long rough around the greens would help my game).
Got some as a gift and been playing with them the most of this year and can say they are my strongest part of my game. I’m new to golf but these wedges are everything he said they are worth every penny. I did changed the grips.
Really enjoy these videos. Honest reviews for the average golfer not just low handicappers.
Subscribed.. my current wedges are mismatched but I have never used Kirkland anything before..
Subscribed. Have yet to see a bad review on these wedges. Recently told buddy who just started to get these for the value and performance
I play some rounds with a guy that's got a set of these and as a beginner golfer, he hits them pretty well. They're a good looking wedge as well. Subscribed
Subscribed, they look the business and for someone of my ability they would be perfect. loving your reviews of smaller lesser known brands
Subscribed.
Hi James, great video. “Let’s have that game of golf, and let’s do it now”!
Subscribed. Having just got back into golf, after an absence of 25years, these would come in very handy.
Great video & review James. I just bought a new Titleist set of irons but without wedges. So these Kirkland wedges would be a great addition to my new set !
My sons had these for a while, he loves them. I’m definitely considering them for my bag.
Subscribed - those set of wedges in Australia are worth $230.00 which equals 123 quid, so pricing spot on
Terrific review! I've been looking to put a blade putter in my bag so I can't wait for that review. Would love the wedges! Subscribed!
Subscribed as the cost of the premium gear goes up more people will be keen on these
Subscribed- always walk by them when I'm in but never sure if I should buy them or not. Seems like a great option from your review 👍
I immediately changed the grips when I got them. I really like them, I wish there were different lofts to choose from. They are super nice though.
Subscribed - Been eyeballing these, as I've been debating getting these (since they're milled) to see if the backspin is better than the Bombtech wedges I currently have in the bag.
Subscribed, enjoyed the review. Will have to check out the golf section next time I am at Costco. Keep up the great job James!!!
Subscribed.been looking at these for a while in my local Costco have seen other reviews as well and everyone seems to rave about them
Subscribed. Been looking at new wedges and seriously considering these, certainly for the money theres not much competition.
Subscribed. I’ve been debating on buying these for a few weeks now. Might finally pull the trigger soon.
Subscribed. Great review as always. Have even been tempted with a Costco membership just for the golf gear! Would love these in my bag!
Hi James, I am subscribed to the channel and my wedges are worn and need of replacement, I would be happy to give these a go!
Suppose it all depends on the long term use of these wedges , would be good to see what they look like after 6 or 8 months use , in the winter and on some bare hard lies in the summer as most average golfers don’t change their wedges every year
Subscribed. Been thinking on these for a bit now. Sadly I can’t join you for a round anytime soon since I’m on the other side of “the pond” from you.
SUBSCRIBED - Would absoulty love to meet you James and would love to test the costco wedges as well would be intresting to see how they compare to my current wedges in my bag.
It would be good to have a review in 6 months after good use or on a golf Matt to see durability, a lot seem to complain about the grips but that's easy fix especially if you can do it yourself, but they do look great for the price
Subscribed ! Not usre which would be better getting the wedges or playing a round with James.
Hi James, good review, have you reviewed the Smithworks wedges? If not would you consider doing a review?
Fancy a set of these! Getting to old to be a brand snob, love the Kirkland balls.
Subscribed... would love to come and have a game as a mid handicap player plus need to replace my wilson Harmonized wedges as I just can not get on with them.
Love the look of them wedges but who are they aimed low/med/high handicappers.
Subscribed, lots of reviews on these and be great to see what they are like!! 👍
Hopefully they come out with a 50, 54 and 58. So many iron sets are stronger lofted now and go to a 42 pw, 46 aw.
have hit a few shots with the wedges before and enjoyed them! Never used the balls or gloves though
Love the way you try out all the lesser know brands of golf wedges. Would love to win these wedges!!! Cracking videos aswell m8👍
These look like very nice clubs for an average handicapped golfer like myself, would love to add them to my set to replace the very old wedges I currently use. Thanks for all your great videos
subscribed - i keep thinking of asking for these for christmas but i don't know who has a costco card haha. Always enjoyed your videos! holing out your friends "wrong" club out of the bunker is a highlight
Subscribed. No they're not a rip-off. I think brands/clubs like this actually show us just how unnecessarily expensive clubs from the premium brands are. Brand snobs will always want the Vokeys or the MG3/Callaway etc..
I think it'd be great for you and Chris to do a full test between say those £600 wedges (can't remember the name), your Vokeys, these and then a set of the cheap £25 per wedge Wilson Harmonized wedges you can get from Sports Direct - it'd be £75 for a set of them. Just how much difference is there between the price ranges and is it really worth it for the average golfer to spend £150-200 per wedge? Will the better wedges actually, measurably improve your game or is it £200 because they look and feel nice (to you)?
Or for a follow-up Q - is getting them fitted and in your specs that much of a game changer? Is it really worth the potential £200+ price difference over these?
