Junior golf clubs age 6-8: sizing, sets and when to move up

Which junior golf sets fit ages 6 to 8?

Junior golf sets that fit ages 6 to 8 are the ones whose maker height range includes your child, roughly 110 to 140 cm. The table compares ten sets on each maker’s own specs. Where a maker page we checked does not give a value, the cell says so.

If you would rather not compare charts by hand, Build your bag asks a few short questions, including your child’s height, and suggests one junior set sized by the maker’s height range. It is free and needs no sign-up.

We could not find a maker page for the Benross and Ben Sayers sets, so they are not linked. Inch heights are converted to centimetres at 2.54 cm per inch.

What a package set is

Shops often call a set of clubs sold with a bag a package set, or a golf package set. Where the table lists a bag, you do not need to buy one separately. Our golf club sets page covers sets for older golfers.

How do you size junior golf clubs age 6-8?

Size junior golf clubs age 6-8 by height, measured in the shoes your child plays in. Find the set whose maker range includes that height, and favour one where they sit in the lower half so the clubs last longer.

How to measure your child

1. Measure their height standing in the shoes they will play in, golf shoes or trainers.
2. Find the child height range on the maker’s page for each set you are considering.
3. Pick the set whose range includes their height, ideally with them in the lower half.
4. Check the set suits their hand. A left-handed golfer needs clubs made for the left hand, so look for a left-handed version on the maker page.
5. Note the measurement and the date so you can check again later in the season.

Reading inch labels

Many junior sets are labelled by club length or player height in inches rather than centimetres. U.S. Kids Golf and TaylorMade give their ranges in inches, as the table shows. Read the maker’s chart rather than relying on the inch figure alone.

Worked examples

These are illustrations, not typical heights for any age.

• 115 cm: inside the UL7 45 range (about 114 to 122 cm) and the Inesis 5 to 7 range (110 to 125 cm). Both leave room to grow.
• 125 cm: inside the UL7 48 range (122 to 130 cm) and Team TaylorMade Size 2 (about 122 to 135 cm). It is the top of Inesis 5 to 7 and the bottom of Inesis 8 to 10, so the larger Inesis set gives more growing room.
• 135 cm: inside the UL7 51 range (130 to 137 cm), with 2 cm to go before its top. It also sits inside Inesis 8 to 10 (125 to 140 cm), with more room left.

Between two sizes

If your child’s height falls between two maker ranges, choose the set whose range includes their height today. Buying a size up to save money later means swinging clubs the maker sized for a taller child.

Our junior size guide covers reading maker charts in more detail. These steps are a starting guide; a qualified golf professional or club fitter can check the size in person.

What should a junior golf set for this age include?

A junior golf set for a 6 to 8 year old needs a putter, a short club for chipping and pitching, and one longer club for distance, plus a bag they can carry. Every set in the table with listed contents covers those three jobs.

What each club does

• Putter: rolls the ball along the green towards the hole. Every set needs one.
• Short iron or wedge (such as a 9-iron or pitching wedge): chips and short shots around the green. These clubs have more loft, the angle of the clubface, so the ball goes higher and shorter.
• Mid iron (such as a 7 iron): fuller shots from the fairway once your child is making steady contact. It has less loft, so the ball flies lower and further.
• Hybrid: a longer club for distance from the fairway or the tee. A fairway wood does a similar job, so check which one a set includes.
• Driver: tee shots on longer holes. Optional for a child who mainly plays short courses or the practice ground.
• Stand bag: a bag designed with legs, so it stays upright on the ground.

Club count grows with size

The Inesis 5 to 7 set lists three clubs, and the larger 8 to 10 set lists four, adding a driver. When you compare sets, check each club list rather than assuming they match.

Accessories to add later

Balls, tees and golf shoes are not among the clubs and bags listed in the table. Add these accessories as your child plays more.

Fewer clubs is a fair starting point

Plenty of families are already trying the game. The R&A’s 2025 report, published on 4 June 2026, found that among households in Great Britain and Ireland with children aged 6 to 17, “70% had taken part in some form of golf activity in the last 12 months”.

England Golf’s Get into Golf beginners guide says beginners do not need a full set and that four key clubs get you round. In its own words:

“This beginner’s guide is here to make things simple, friendly and pressure-free.” England Golf, Get into Golf beginners guide

That guide is written for beginners in general, and the same idea works for a child’s first set. For the difference between the two approaches, see our guide to a half set vs a full set.

Junior golf sets by size: who each suits and its trade-off

Each set suits a child whose height sits inside its maker range, and each gives something up. The groups below follow the heights in the table; RRPs and specs are as listed there.

About 110 to 125 cm

• U.S. Kids Golf UL7 45: suits a child of about 114 to 122 cm. Trade-off: the maker page we checked does not list its clubs, bag or RRP.
• Inesis 5 to 7: suits a simple first set at 110 to 125 cm, with a left-handed version. Trade-off: three clubs and no driver.
• Benross Aero Orange and Ben Sayers M1i 5 to 8: labelled for ages 5 to 7 and 5 to 8. Trade-off: we found no maker page stating height, contents or RRP, so check those before buying.

If your child is below this band, our clubs for ages 3 to 5 page covers smaller sets.

About 122 to 135 cm

• U.S. Kids Golf UL7 48: suits a child of 122 to 130 cm who wants five clubs and a stand bag. Trade-off: a £245 RRP (maker’s price, checked on 14 Nov 2026), and the hand is not stated.
• Team TaylorMade Size 2: labelled for ages 7 to 9, with a driver and a hybrid. Trade-off: the maker page does not state a UK RRP or a left-handed version.

About 125 to 140 cm

• U.S. Kids Golf UL7 51: suits a child of 130 to 137 cm ready for full holes. Trade-off: the same RRP as the UL7 48 and a range only 7 cm wide.
• Inesis 8 to 10: suits 125 to 140 cm, with a driver, a tripod bag and a left-handed version. Trade-off: no UK RRP on the maker page we checked.

Sets without a stated height range

• Callaway XJ Level 2: six clubs, including a fairway wood and a sand wedge. Trade-off: height range, bag and UK RRP not stated on the maker page.
• MacGregor DCT 6 to 8: four clubs, a stand bag and a left-handed version. Trade-off: no height range or UK RRP on the maker page.

Sets labelled age 7 to 9 or 8 to 10

Golf clubs for 7 year olds and golf clubs for 8 year olds are often sold under overlapping labels. Team TaylorMade Size 2 is labelled 7 to 9 and Inesis 8 to 10 covers 125 to 140 cm. An age label tells you roughly where to start looking; the maker’s height range tells you whether the set fits.

When should you move up a size?

Move up a size when your child’s height passes the top of their set’s maker range. Measure them every few months through the season and compare the figure with the range on the maker’s page. When they are within a couple of centimetres of the top, start looking at the next size so you are not rushed into a choice.

Signs to check

• Their height is past the top of the maker’s range.
• Their height is within a couple of centimetres of the top.
• They hold the very end of the grip and the club still looks short when they stand over the ball.
• The bag strap no longer adjusts to sit comfortably on their shoulder.

Where to look next

For children moving past this band, see junior clubs for ages 9 to 12, and later golf clubs for teenagers. Our junior golf clubs hub links every age page.

An outgrown set can go to a younger brother or sister, or be put up for sale.

How does Build your bag pick a junior set?

Build your bag is Affordable Golf Clubs’ free tool, and it needs no sign-up. For a junior, it asks a few short questions, including an age band and height, and suggests one junior set sized by the maker’s height range.

What it asks

Junior age bands are 3 to 5, 6 to 8, 9 to 12, and 13 and over. For adults, the questions cover who the set is for, which sets to look at, experience, hand, height, budget and more.

Budget comes in five bands: Under £200, £200 to £400, £400 to £700, £700 to £1,000, and Over £1,000.

What you get

Adults get a first choice: a complete package set, a half set, or a bag built club by club, with the reason. Then they get a top pick for each club, each with a plain reason. Prices are shown as the maker’s RRP. Used options are not listed yet.

Flex and length suggestions are a starting guide. For spends above about £500, we recommend an in-person check with a club fitter.

How picks are chosen

Picks come from published rules (skill band, forgiveness, launch, the golfer’s miss and budget split) and maker specs, not from who pays us. You can read every rule on our how we choose page.

Prices and links

Picks show “View on Amazon” links, with maker RRPs where labelled. Amazon prices appear once they come directly from Amazon’s own data, each with the time it was checked. If you buy through a link, the retailer pays us a commission at no extra cost to you.

The short version

Use the maker’s height range rather than the age label, and leave room to grow. Start with a putter, a club for short shots and one longer club. Measure again through the season and move up when your child passes the top of the range. For a junior set suggested from your answers, try Build your bag: a full set picked for your game and budget.
