Everyone loves a good deal, especially when that deal involves saving hundreds — even thousands — of dollars. And golf equipment is no exception. That’s why gear enthusiasts will love what Fairway Jockey has on offer: dozens of pre-owned clubs that you can buy for a significant discount off the regular retail price.
In fact, the appeal of the pre-owned market goes beyond bargain hunters.
“For the gear tinkerer, pre-owned clubs offer a chance to experiment with premium aftermarket shafts without the steep price tag of buying them brand-new,” said Fairway Jockey president Wadeh Maroun. “For the serious player, pre-owned clubs offer the ability to secure a ‘tour build’ setup — a level of precision and performance usually reserved for elite players, at a fraction of the cost. And for the aspirational golfer, someone who might not otherwise splurge on high-end gear, pre-owned clubs provide access to equipment that feels and performs like the very best.”
Unlike a local second-hand shop or a listing on eBay, every pre-owned club sold by Fairway Jockey is thoroughly inspected before it reaches the buyer. Each product is vetted by up to four expert assessors and must achieve a minimum score of 7 out of 10 on Fairway Jockey’s strict grading scale.

That scale is laid out clearly so golfers know exactly what they’re getting. A club rated 7 (Good) will have seen 20 to 40 rounds and show normal scuffs or scratches, but it remains in solid playing condition. An 8 (Very Good) indicates just 10 to 20 rounds, with only minimal wear and perhaps a single mark. And a 9 (Like New) is reserved for clubs that have fewer than five rounds of play and are nearly indistinguishable from brand-new.
For many golfers, the biggest attraction of Fairway Jockey’s pre-owned shop isn’t just the savings — it’s the access to unique builds. Every club in the pre-owned inventory was originally assembled in Fairway Jockey’s tour-level build shop, which means many include aftermarket shafts and custom combinations that are rarely available off the rack. These premium shafts, from makers like Fujikura, Graphite Design, Mitsubishi, and LA Golf, often cost $300 to $500 when purchased new. Finding them paired with high-quality heads in the pre-owned market gives golfers a chance to experience performance upgrades without the full retail investment. It’s a way to play the type of equipment trusted by professionals, at a price point that makes experimentation realistic.
“Naturally, golfers have questions when it comes to pre-owned equipment,” said Maroun. “One common concern is whether this is really different from shopping on eBay or at a big-box retailer. The answer is yes: unlike marketplace listings, which can be vague or even risky, every club at Fairway Jockey is authenticated, spec-checked, and backed by a multi-assessor inspection process. Big-box shops typically deal in stock shafts, while Fairway Jockey’s inventory often features tour-level upgrades.
“Another question revolves around appearance,” he continued. “Will a club rated a 7 look too worn in the bag? The reality is no — these clubs show expected use, but still look and perform clean at address.”
If you’ve never waded into the world of after-market shafts, shopping pre-owned clubs is a less expensive way to try something new. Maroun emphasized the fact that even if a pre-owned club doesn’t perfectly match your specs, it can still be re-shafted, re-gripped, or adjusted for loft and lie, just like a new one.
Why you should have more than 14 clubs

Finding the perfect pre-owned club is also a bit like a treasure hunt. Custom club builds are unique by nature, so while new options are added daily, it’s unlikely you’ll find two clubs with the exact same specs. That’s why it’s important to act fast when you find a suitable fit.
At the moment, Fairway Jockey’s pre-owned inventory includes some standout deals: more than $1,300 in savings on Cobra 3DP Tour irons, over $750 off TaylorMade P7CB irons, and more than $300 off a Callaway Elite Triple Diamond driver. Each of these selections comes with an upgraded shaft, making them not just discounted clubs but fully optimized builds.
