The Best Value Golf Clubs Of 2025 (According To 2025 Testing)

Golf gear keeps getting better and more expensive. Our 2025 testing proved that great performance doesn’t always mean a premium price. This list highlights the best value clubs in every major category, the ones that delivered real results without the markup.

Best value driver of 2025

The Tour Edge E725 topped the “Best for Accuracy” category in the 2025 MyGolfSpy Most Wanted Driver test, delivering the highest percentage of playable and straight shots among its peers. Testers noted that while it didn’t claim the longest carry distance or the highest ball speed, it offered tight dispersion and minimal performance drop-off on off-center strikes. It’s the best value driver of 2025.

Best value hybrid of 2025

ORKA’s RSX ranked as the most forgiving hybrid in MyGolfSpy’s 2025 test, earning a forgiveness score of 9.0. It wasn’t given an official best value title but at its current price point, you’ll find it to be one of the better values in the test. The RSX was built for reliability rather than raw power, and that shows in the data: its distance and accuracy scores trailed some competitors. For golfers who prioritize consistency and confidence over pure distance, the RSX represents one of the best value buys of 2025.

Best value player’s irons 2025

Toura’s SCB-1 irons earned “Best Value” honors in MyGolfSpy’s 2025 Player’s Iron Test. Testers praised its solid feel and control, noting that the SCB-1 delivered balanced performance across distance, accuracy, and forgiveness. You don’t see that often at this price point with an iron. While it didn’t lead in any single category, its consistency and shot-to-shot predictability stood out.

Best value player’s distance irons

Stix’s Compete Hollow Body took home the Best Value tag in the 2025 Player’s Distance Irons test, delivering a rare combo of standout accuracy and attainable price. Testers gave it an accuracy score of 9.3 (topping the category) and forgiveness of 8.7. While it was one of the shortest irons tested, the consistency makes it a strong pick for golfers wanting performance without the premium cost.

Best value super game improvement iron 2025

The game improvement category didn’t have a clear “value” winner in 2025, but the Super Game Improvement test did. The Tommy Armour 845+ ranked near the top for both accuracy and forgiveness, earning an overall runner-up position. Testers called it one of the most stable and confidence-building irons in the field, especially for mid- to high-handicap players who struggle with consistent launch and ball-speed retention. While it doesn’t deliver the same explosive distance as some stronger-lofted models, its forgiving face and consistent dispersion make it a true standout for value-minded golfers.

Best value wedge of 2025

The Wilson Infinite wedge emerged as the clear “best value” wedge in the 2025 MyGolfSpy test, thanks to its sub-$130 price point and solid performance in full-swing and 50-yard (dry and wet) testing conditions. The Infinite delivers the fundamentals, consistent carry, dependable spin, and a forgiving sole. One caveat: because it’s aimed at value-minded golfers, grind and bounce choices are limited, and while the feel is good for the price, it doesn’t match the tour-forged feel of the highest-end models.

Best value blade putter 2025

Blade putters didn’t produce many budget standouts in 2025, but the Tommy Armour Impact No. 2 proved that great performance doesn’t have to cost $400. It delivered a PuttView Handicap of –9.6 from medium range (10 feet), which was more than five strokes better than the next-closest competitor. Testers praised its clean alignment, soft yet responsive feel, and excellent roll consistency, especially on putts inside 20 feet. While it lacks the premium milling or exotic face inserts found on high-end models, its results speak for themselves.

Best value mallet putter 2025

The Wilson Infinite Buckingham stands out as the best value mallet putter of 2025. In the 2025 testing, it finished with an overall PuttView Handicap of –6.6, including a medium-range score of –9.2 and another –9.0 for long-range putts. In addition to being the best value, it was also the best overall mallet putter of 2025. While its roll, alignment, and consistency earned praise, its looks and sound were less universally liked: “not the best looking mallet tested, but it did get the ball in the hole.”

If you didn’t know, at the moment, the Buckingham is nowhere to be found for right-handed golfers. However, Wilson does have limited stock available for you lefties out there. If you’re looking for an alternative to the Buckingham, the PING Scottsdale Tyne 4 and Stix Compete Tech Mallet performed very well in our 2025 testing.

Final thoughts

Every club on this list proves you don’t have to spend top dollar to play great golf. In the end the golf club that fits your game the best is always going to be the one with the best value.
