Package sets can vary greatly in terms of price and quality. They can also differ in terms of the level of golfer they are aimed at. I’ve tested some of the absolute best package sets this year including two high end offerings from Callaway – the XR Package Set and the Mavrik Set, and it’s fair to say that the Inesis First Golf Kit is not in the same class.
You’d expect that, as it comes in almost a thousand pound cheaper than those premium sets (£149.99), but it also serves an entirely different purpose to most package sets.
Some sets are aimed at the enthusiastic beginner, others are aimed at the golfer who has been playing for a while and is now wanting to upgrade their gear to a full set. This offering from Inesis, however, is very much for the brand new golfer who isn’t sure whether they will stick with it and therefore wants to see how things go before spending a lot of cash.
Splashing out a grand on a full set only to discover after a few months that this isn’t the game for you isn’t a great idea, unless of course you don’t mind wasting your money. If, however, you quite like the idea of taking up golf but don’t want to spend too much until you’re sure you’re in it for the long haul, this set is an interesting option.
Because of the affordable price point, it’s certainly in the conversation when it comes to the best cheap package sets, but intriguingly it also makes for an ideal gift for a friend or relative that is keen on giving golf a go. A half set of clubs and a bag for less than the cost of some premium wedges makes this a very interesting option.

It’s important to point out that is only a half set, which helps to keep the price down while still providing the basics required to get out on the course. The set consists of a bag, driver, hybrid, two irons, a wedge and a putter, and for a brand new golfer that is more than sufficient. For example, you get a 7-iron and a 9-iron, but a complete novice doesn’t need an 6 or 8-iron because they won’t be striking the ball consistently enough to see any real difference. Gapping isn’t an issue for someone just starting out so a half set is just fine.
This is very much a set that any keen golfer will grow out of quickly, but the low price point reflects that. It’s not a set for the long haul, it’s something that will get you started until you are ready to upgrade to…
