I'm looking for a new/used set right now and I found some Big Bertha 04's new for less than I have seen them on ebay. You can also go to good shops that offer demos and see if they are selling them. It may be worth a little extra to by a new set on closeout. But if you find a nice used set make sure the heads are tight and the shafts are not bent. Make sure the grips are OK or that you know how much it will cost to replace them. Most importantly don't rush, summer isn't here yet.

Used golf clubs are not unlike used cars in that if you by a popular name brand club ...Ping,Taylor-made and Titleist to name a few , they will hold value over the years. One of the biggest goofs I made on the first set I purchased was that I brought a set off the pro shop wall that went out of business two weeks later. The result was a $300 set that I could not get $3 for with-in 6 months.They sit in my garage as a reminder of past blunders. I replaced them with a set of Callaway X-12 clubs purchased used for $240. Sold them 4 years and many rounds later for $225. Definitely buy used though...no need to spend an extra $200 for clubs that will be "Used" once they leave the store. Good Luck!!

Dont forget to look for a game improvement iron set - you may know this, been incase you dont, heres the deal: Game improvment irons have large soles (the bottom of the club) that help prevent digging the club into the turf - they are easier to slide across the turf, allowing you a better chance of hitting the ball cleanly. Also, they are cavity backed (hollow in the back) with weight distributed to the outside. This allows you to get the ball up and out even if you dont hit dead center on the club face. You want to make sure not to buy blades or muscle backs - they are very difficult to hit and will only cause you misery. Ask the sales guy to point out the game improvement irons, or if your gonna go the garage sale or ebay route - do some google research before buying.

Find a set of clubs that is the correct length for you. And I'd buy a driver separately. Don't get a set that comes with a driver.
Also, I'd recommend you go to a golf shop to look at clubs. Generally, the ones that you find a Target, et al, aren't going to make you happy.

You need to hit every club that you can and have some people fit you. April is free fitting month for www.playgolfamerica.com you can get one of your local golf course pros to fit you for free. I also suggest you go to as many demo days as you can and have the reps fit you. When you come across a club you can't do without buy it. Do not buy a set unless you have had a chance to hit one or make sure you can return them if you don't like them

Make sure that the grooves in the irons are not missing or worn down. Check the shafts to make sure they are not cracked, check the wood heads for the same thing. Make sure the complete set is there, 2 thru pitching wedge and putter. Also a driver and at least a 3 wood. You want good grips so check that they are not worn down to smooth rubber. At the least, you should put new grips on any used set you buy. I change my grips every year. Just look them over good and be certain they are in good condition.

Check the condition and quality of the clubs.
For an idea on the selling price go to PGA.com Value Guide.
It will give you an idea what the clubs are worth. Don't overpay on a used set of clubs.

Try your local pro shop, a lot of players will trade the old ones in as they get a discount on the new ones, but the pro will usually clean them up and change grips if they're needed. If your just starting out, get to know the pro at the course you will be playing, they are there to help you with these sort of decisions so don't be intimidated I haven't met a bad one yet.

make sure the are cavity backed. Have a hollow behind the face of the face of the club. some people will try and unload blade clubs on you cheap. The ones with the full back. Don't buy them. Also, check deals online from places like the used clubs place from callaway. I have bought used clubs from them that look better than anything in my bag.

i would look for the grooves on the club and make sure they are not worn out. The grooves ensure good ball flight and distance; most of all spin and control.
