Where can I get cheap, but good clubs. Should i buy a specifice brand? Does it really matter? I’m new to golf so any information would be helpful.
Thanks.
I am a PGA member, and to all of my new students I recommend a company out of Tigard OR called Pinemeadowgolf.com. They are an inexpensive company where you can get new clubs very cheap. Be warned, they will only last a couple years if you play often, but they are a great starter set to get you going, and once you wear them out, it’s a good indication you have probably progressed to the point you will need to have some custom fitting done by your local PGA pro. Be sure to buddy up with a local pro also, they are a great resource for lessons and info on your questions, like this one. Good luck, have fun!!

That would depend on where you live.
Just know this: The clubs you learn to golf on will not be the clubs you play with for years to come. You will experiment and find stuff you like and settle into a permanent set after a few years.
If you have one nearby- "play It Again Sports’ has tons of gently used clubs at nice prices. I would start there.
Good luck! and "keep your head down"

Look in your local paper. I bought my whole set with a bag and wheels for $100. You will know better what you want want when you play more, and see the gagdets other players have. A set will range from around $70 to $100 and you can find a nice set at flea markets or just people that never good at it and just want to sell their clubs. You can pick out the set that looks the coolest to you, and once you start to get good then you will want to spend for good clubs, and learn all the litlle things about your own set of clubs.
I started to play guitar on a piece of junk, that is how you learn. It actually makes you better I think by learning on bad equipment. Because if you can play well with bad equipment, imagine how much of a jump you have when you get the good equipment.
Get the cheapest clubs you can find and learn how to be good with them. When you get to the point where you think you have sort of got it. Don’t spend a dime on pro lessons, email me when you get there. Golf is too expensive as it is! Everything you need is online. Buy a cheap set and see if you even like golf. That is what I did. Good luck with it, I love it because of the perfectly cut grass and the birds chirping and ground hogs running across your path. Just so beautiful to be out there, who cares what kind of clubs you have?

What is your version of cheap? Some very good golf clubs cost 500-800 dollars (which are very good prices). And other clubs can range upwards of 1000 dollars.
Some good Economical Brands(Irons) :
Callaway Big Bertha Irons
Wilson
Ben Hogan Apex Irons
Some good Economical Brands (Woods/Metals):
Maybe try Used Titleist Clubs, the 975j or 905 Woods
Maybe try Used Ping Clubs, the I3 Woods or Metals
Some good Economical Brands(Putters):
Ping
Titleist
Wilson
