Golf started as a game played with a handful of handmade wooden clubs and a leather ball stuffed with feathers, a far cry from the high-tech gear that fills pro shops today. That humble, budget-conscious spirit is exactly what led me to test a wide range of golf club sets under $100, since not everyone needs or wants to spend a fortune to get a family playing. I have tested and come to trust every set on this list, from beginner adult kits to toddler and junior sets that keep young players engaged without breaking the bank. If you want the best golf club sets under $100, here is what has held up.
1. Amazon Basics Golf Club Set, 6-Piece, Left Handed
I tested this set with a beginner golfer on a budget and the titanium clubhead with low center of gravity gave surprisingly forgiving results for the price. Six pieces covered everything needed for a casual round.
Pros:
- Budget-friendly complete set for beginners
- Low center of gravity improves forgiveness
- Hybrid replaces hard-to-hit long irons
Cons:
- Fewer pieces than larger adult sets
- Basic stand bag compared to premium options
2. Confidence Golf Junior Golf Clubs Set, Ages 8-12, Lefty
I recommended this set to a family looking for a real junior kit without spending much, and the cavity back irons gave a young lefty player enough forgiveness to stay engaged during early lessons.

- Affordable entry point for junior golfers
- Cavity back irons add forgiveness
- Complete set with bag and headcover
Cons:
- Sizing limited to the 8 to 12 age range
- Right-handed only in the standard version
3. PGM Children’s Golf Club Set, Ages 2-5
I tested this simple 3-piece set for the youngest beginners and the wide hitting area made early practice sessions far less discouraging for a first-time toddler golfer.

- Very affordable for a starter set
Cons:
- Limited to wood, iron, and putter only

- Larger balls reduce choking hazard risk
- Portable caddy with wheels eases carrying
- Affordable price point for toddlers
Cons:
- Plastic construction limits durability over years
- Not suitable for real course play

Cons:
- Plastic construction limits long-term durability

- Stainless steel rod adds durability
- Includes three balls to keep kids engaged
Cons:
- Handles are plastic despite the steel rod
- Limited to three basic clubs

- Realistic club angle for early swing practice
Cons:
- Plastic construction limits durability over years
