The Inesis row comes from the maker’s UK page. Other rows show only what the named shop’s listing states. Both were read on 14 Nov 2026. Where a cell says “not stated by the maker”, confirm that detail on the maker’s page before you buy.

Brands use different age labels for junior golf clubs. The height range is the figure to compare from one set to the next.

What size golf clubs does a 3 year old need?

A 3 year old needs clubs sized to their height. Measure your child, then choose a set whose maker height range includes that number.

Sets labelled 3 to 5 suit 4 and 5 year olds too, as long as your child’s height fits.

Four checks before you buy junior golf clubs

1. Measure your child’s height. Write it down in centimetres.
2. Find the height range on the maker’s page. The age on the box is a label; the height range is the number to match.
3. Check the hand. The left-handed column in the table above shows what each listing states.
4. Check the contents. Note which clubs come in the set and whether a bag is included.

Why the age label is only a guide

The Inesis set is labelled for children up to 4, but its maker sizes it by height, up to 110 cm. So a 5 year old inside that range still fits the maker’s sizing. A tall 4 year old may already be above it.

For sizes from toddler to teenager in one place, see our junior size guide.

What should a junior golf set for ages 3 to 5 include?

A first set can be as small as an iron, a putter and a bag. An iron covers swings from the ground, and a putter covers the green.

That is enough for a first try at golf in the garden or on a practice green. The Inesis set in the table above follows this shape.

England Golf’s Get into Golf beginners guide says new golfers do not need a full set to get started. It is written for adult beginners, but its aim suits a first set at any age: to “make things simple, friendly and pressure-free”.

Toy golf set or real junior clubs?

Toy sets are plastic play sets, some with balls and a ball returner. Junior package sets are real clubs sized by height, like the sets in the table above. Decide which one you want before you shop.

What to look for in a first golf set

• An iron for full swings
• A putter for the green
• A bag, so your child can carry the clubs and keep them together
• The right hand for your child
• A height range that includes your child
• An RRP with the date it was checked

If you are comparing two real sets closely, check the shaft material, such as graphite or steel, on the maker’s page.

What can wait

A golf driver, fairway woods, a hybrid and more golf irons can wait until your child plays more. So can golf gloves, shoes, clothing and golf trolleys. If you want balls in the box, check the listing before you buy.

When the time comes to add clubs, our guide to a half set or a full set explains the options.

A worked example

Here is the method for an illustrative child: aged 4, 104 cm tall, right-handed, with a budget under £200. This is an example, not a real customer.

At 104 cm, the child sits inside the Inesis range, with 6 cm to go before 110 cm. The set is right-handed, which matches, and its RRP sits well inside the budget.

If the same child were left-handed, the Inesis set would not match. The MacGregor DCT left-hand set is the alternative. Check its maker height range against 104 cm before you buy.

Where does Build your bag fit for ages 3 to 5?

Build your bag gives juniors one junior set, sized by the maker’s height range. It is free, needs no sign-up and asks a few short questions.

Juniors choose an age band, including 3 to 5. Since 14 Nov 2026, every pick comes with a plain reason. Prices show as the maker’s RRP, labelled RRP. Used options are not listed yet.

For adults, it first suggests a complete package set, a half set or a bag built club by club, with the reason. It then gives a top pick for each club.

Its suggestions are a starting guide. If you plan to spend more than about £500, see a qualified golf professional or club fitter in person.

Picks come from published rules and maker specs, not from who pays us, as explained on how we choose. If you buy through a link, the retailer pays us a commission at no extra cost to you.

When should a child move up a size?

Move up a size when your child’s height passes the top of the maker’s range. For the Inesis set, that is 110 cm.

Measure your child every few months and again before you buy. Check the next set’s height range rather than going by age.

Where to look next

Once your child passes 110 cm, see our guide to golf clubs for ages 6 to 8. Use the same height check as here.

As your child’s game develops, check which clubs the next set adds, such as a golf driver or more irons. The height check still applies if your child moves from garden play to holes on a course.

Beyond that band, our guide to junior golf clubs for ages 9 to 12 covers the next sizes. For every junior age band in one place, start at our junior golf clubs guide.

New or used for the next size

Used sets are worth a look when a child outgrows clubs quickly. Build your bag does not list used options yet. Whether new or used, check the maker’s height range.

In short

Size toddler golf clubs by height, using the maker’s range. Start with an iron, a putter and a bag. Choose between a toy set and real clubs on purpose. Move up once your child passes the top of the range.
