Minimum Number
There actually is no minimum number of clubs you are allowed to have in your golf bag. However, I do recommend that you have the “essential clubs” that I will go over ion more detail down below
How Many Clubs Can You Have
The United States Golf Association allows golfers to have a maximum of 14 clubs in their bag (including the putter). A majority of clubs are sold separately as:
- Irons
- Wedges
- Driver
- Fairway Woods
- Hybrids
Club Essentials for Men and Women Beginners
As I mentioned, the more expensive golf clubs are sold individually so that you have more options to customize your bag. To avoid this confusion when you first start playing, I would recommend starting with a beginning golf set so you can have the “essentials” to get started right away and gradually improve and upgrade over time.
What are the essentials?
- Driver
- Fairway Wood
- Long Irons or Hybrids
- 5 Iron or Hybrid
- 7 Iron
- 9 Iron
- Pitching Wedge or Sand Wedge
- Putter – Learn about different putters here
