    Never heard of it. Will suss it out online and make a few enquiries.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 524 ✭✭✭trackerman


    It's not as cheap as it first appears, e.g. ping G15 irons are €510 for 7 clubs, so when you add in the extra 2 clubs it costs €624 which is only €25 less than Dublin stores...

    ya used it v. good,bought a bag that was about €165 in the local golf shops

    wouldn't agree with 2nd poster at all,as with all shops its up to yourself to be clued in on the value or prices of what your looking for,
    be it online or any normal golf store,not everthing in any shop is priced in the customers favour

    free delivery for goods over the value of £100 stg
    very good value on last years prov's if you buy maybe 5 boxes delivery should be free

    i've used them a couple of times, bought balls and a putter off them, found the very reasonable, and seem to have a good stock of gear

    I ordered a putter off these guys at 2pm last Tuesday, had it the next day before 1pm. Cant fault that. Free p&p over €100. Plus it was way cheaper than mcguirks, american golf and halfpenny. Just thought to let you guys know!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 99 ✭✭tom francy


    Sorry to drag up an old thread but just wondering did anyone have any trouble with these guys i have a 3 wood ordered on the 5th of march and no sign of it, ive sent them about 4 emails at this stage and they only replyed to the first sayin it takes ten day for custom fit,ive since asked them to cancel the order no reply....getin afraid for my money now

    No, I found them good in general, but also at getting back to mails. Maybe phone them?

    Sounds like they could be miffed about you ordering a custom club, then cancelling.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 174 ✭✭kevodaly


    I just bought a set of irons from them. Good value and quick turnaround. Replied to my mails pretty quickly too. I wouldn't be worried about your money. But if you are cancelling a custom fit club, then it would be worth calling them to explain ...

    All custom fits come directly from the manufacturer, if it's classed as "exotic" (outside stock) they are at the mercy of the individual shaft supplier for example.

    I have never heard anything negative about GolfStoreEurope myself and I've used them quite a few times myself.

    What spec did you order?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,357 ✭✭✭Zak Flaps


    i've used them and they are very good....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,279 ✭✭✭Su Campu


    Just a note that on their site it's now free shipping on orders over £50, not £100 as above.

    Just bought some stuff from them. Products were spot on and a very good price. On the downside, their communication was poor and the delivery time was one week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 38 Fourcandle


    I ordered a pair of shoes from them, a week later and no sign of them. Emailed them to be told that they were not in stock and that they were being ordered in, their T&C states:

    We update our stock daily and if an item is out of stock it will be displayed as such on the site. If there is a problem with availability we will contact you within 24 hours of the order being made, in which case you have a choice of waiting until it is in stock. In any case, orders are not processed unless we have the item in stock.

    They still took my money though and didn't bother to follow their own policy. So I cancelled the order, another week goes by and I notice that they had not refunded the money. Emailed them, to be told that in order to refund they need my credit card details, no mention of refund policy on website, can't get through on their number and don't want to email the details for obvious reasons.

    Will never use them again and would not reccomend them especially if ordering clubs. Got same shoes next day in Halpenny golf cheaper.

    that doesnt sound like a nice experience......I have bought regularly from them with no issues.....I guess you can be unlucky as well..thanks for the heads up on the refund policy


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 447 ✭✭NoelAPM


    There pricing wouldnt be the cheapest around...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 138 ✭✭Curly7


    Their pricing is certainly not the best, just at a glance Nike VR split cavity irons that i recently bought in Mc Guirks are €40 more expensive and method putter is €30 more expensive. Don't think I'd be in a rush to order from them


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 146 ✭✭boksmashoffice


    I have used them to purchase a cart bag. Ordered Monday evening. Arrived Wednesday of same week.

    fantastic service


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 775 ✭✭✭Woodgate


    I ordered a pair of shoes & a box of z star's from them tonight. I have always found them great to deal with. As for pricing just shop around, plenty of sites out ther, I just buy what's good value from them and get other stuff elsewhere.

    See they're giving a free powakaddy bag with every powakaddy bought.
    I've used them to buy balls a few times and never an issue,usually delivered in 2 days.

    You're lucky.
    I order a putter one month ago.
    No news !!! They got my money for one month and the putter is not in my bag.
    And of course, no answer to my mails !

    It is better to avoid this site. They take the money that the product is available or not and if it is not, good luck to get your money back.
    I made the painful experiment. They do not answer mails and I don't know what to do anymore to be paid off.

    Ring them. They always answer the phone for me anyway.

    I hope you didn't register here just to give out about Golf Store??

    I presume you ordered the club with your visa card? If so you can start a cash back procedure if you do not receive your goods.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 112 ✭✭U.P.O.


    Golfstoreeurope can be pretty useless alright.

    I've bought 4 items off them in the past.

    1. Burner rescue club. Item arrived in like 2 days. Perfect transaction.

    2. Mizuno Lob Wedge. Item said it was in stock. I bought it. After 2-3 days i started waiting anxiously everyday for the post man but nothing. About a week later of waiting every day i got an e-mail to say it wasnt in stock and wouldnt be in stock for like 6 weeks. Why couldnt i have been told that the next day. What took them over a week to tell me ? Could have saved me waiting for the postman every day

    3. Nike Golf Shoes. Item said it was in stock. I bought it. Took a week for the delivery to come which was ridiculously slow but still, at least i got he item

    4. The other day, Titlesist 910 Driver. Again, the item said it was in stock. I bought it. (At the checkout it said one one price. I bought it and my invoice said that price but on my credit card i was charged €5 more but thats another story) Waited patiently for the postman. Every day it didnt come i thought surely it will be here tomorrow. Another day would pass and still no club. A week later i get an e-mail saying its not in stock and wont be in stock for another month.

    Why does it say in stock on the web-site when its clearly not ? And why dont they notifiy you of this immediately. Why does it take a week of you waiting for the postman and only after that they bother to tell you ?

    Their prices are generally good, especially when they regularly have the 10% off weekends etc... but check around. I've often seen items cheaper in American Golf or in the local pro shop.

    The Titleist driver was the last straw for me though. Its bad enough waiting for items you buy on-line but waiting for nothing is just ridiculous. Items shouldnt be marked "In Stock" if they are not and if there is a mistake you should be notified immediately. It shouldnt take a week to tell you.

    They just tease you making you wait for the postman everyday :mad:

    I dont think ill bother using them again. Too much hassle.

    My experience with them is exactly the same as yours, hit and miss. Whenever I order from them now, I just phone to confirm the item is in stock before ordering.

    I bought a Galvin Green top and umbrella holder for the trolley last year off them. The top was not in stock, then went out of production so they gave me the new version for the same price so I saved a packet. I had to wait about a month but the saving was worth it. The umbrella holder broke the first time I used it so I dropped them an email and I just needed to take a photo and they sent a replacement straight away.
    Never phoned them because they either phoned or emailed me once I emailed them.
    I'd use them if the savings are there but if you want something immediately I'd go elsewhere.
