Before you ask, we haven’t put every beginner package set through full launch monitor testing to see which one flies the farthest. But let’s be honest—a package set is a package set, designed for a specific type of player.
That said, not all package sets are created equal. Factors like club selection, price, material quality and overall value make some stand out. If you’re looking for the best beginner package sets, here are your top options along with reasons to consider them and what you’ll get for your money.
The Vice Boost Starter set is a brand-new option in 2025. It was released on March 4 and it’s specifically designed for golfers who don’t want the headache of piecing together a properly loft-gapped complete set.
Vice keeps it simple with a driver, hybrid, four irons, a pitching wedge, a sand wedge and a blade putter. A women’s Vice Boost Starter set is also available.
Set details
Clubs included: Driver, hybrid, 6 irons (6-9, PW, SW), blade putterShaft options: Graphite, steel, women’s
What we like
Price point ($449): Affordable compared to many competitors.Data-driven design: Vice utilized HIO Labs data to optimize the set.Clean looks: Simple, modern aesthetics appeal to many golfers.Women’s option: Graphite shafts and proper women’s length.
What we don’t like
No customization: Limited ability to tailor clubs to individual needs.Gap between hybrid and driver: Lack of a fairway wood creates a challenging distance gap.
I’ve played with the Stix Perform Club Set several times and, for a package set, it’s one of the best-looking options. The wedges have a nice feel and the putter performs better than expected.
