What are my old golf clubs worth?

Updated September 25, 2026 · By the ClubComps team

Most used golf clubs are worth far less than people expect, but some are worth more. Here's what sets a club's value, how fast clubs lose value, and how to find what yours will actually sell for.

The short answer

A club's value is whatever similar clubs have recently sold for, not what people are asking. Clubs from the last three or four years from major brands usually sell well. Most clubs more than about ten years old sell for little, with a few exceptions covered below.

What sets the price

• Exact model and year. Two clubs with the same name can be years apart and hundreds of dollars different. Our guides show how to tell the versions apart.
• Type of club. Golf Digest has noted that irons hold their value better than drivers, drivers lose value quickly as technology moves on, and wedges resell worst.
• Brand. Major brands trade for more than lesser-known ones.
• Condition. The PGA Value Guide grades clubs as New (never hit), Average (normal wear, no damage) or Below Average (sky marks, dings, paint chips). A wedge stamped with someone's name drops to Below Average automatically.
• Shaft and specs. Upgraded shafts, the flex, and whether it's a full set all change the price.

How fast clubs lose value

Here's how much TaylorMade's drivers sell for used today, compared with their launch prices:

Used prices are medians from ClubComps eBay sold data (90 days ending September 24, 2026). See our TaylorMade driver guide.

A driver loses roughly half its value within a year or two, then keeps sliding. MyGolfSpy found that 2025's best drivers had lost between 12% and 31% of their value by the end of that year.

Old clubs: usually not worth much

Once a club is several generations old, its value falls to a small fraction of the original price. GolfPass has cited an old TaylorMade R7 driver as selling for around $50. For older clubs, trade-in or local sale is often the practical choice.

The exceptions

• Scotty Cameron putters, especially well-kept milled models and rare tour putters. GOLF.com names milled putters like these as one of the few old clubs with real collector value.
• Vintage Ping putters, which collectors date by the town stamped on them (Redwood City, Scottsdale, Phoenix) and patent markings.
• Quality handmade wooden clubs, which GOLF.com also names as collectible.

How to check your club's value

1. Identify the exact model, year, shaft and flex (use our guides).
2. Search eBay for that club and turn on the Sold items filter so you only see completed sales.
3. Compare clubs in similar condition, and ignore the highest and lowest sales.
4. Compare that number with a trade-in quote. See trade-in vs selling yourself.
