Visited Golf Mart in Walnut Creek this past weekend and found the set I've been looking for that I…read morehad previously seen in the south San Francisco location back in May. First time at this location, and parking was super easy in their lot. The store layout is very clean and easy to navigate. Plenty of selection when it comes to apparel, clubs, and bags. They had like 4 hitting bays with launch monitors. Scott was able to set me up with one while I tried out a few iron shots with the set I was eyeing. After a few swings, I was sold. Working with Scott and Jeremy was a breeze and ended up with a brand new putter as well. While some people like to thrift shop for clothes, I like to do that with golf clubs because the demo and trade-in pricing on clubs are a good way to save money of clubs that you actually want. The 90-day return policy for store credit allows you to take what you buy out and play them for up to 90 days. If you don't like it, you can swap them out for something else. And with golf, the money can always be spent on something golf related. Played my first round with my new set, and love em. Will probably be back to get them re-gripped soon.

However, while I was waiting and browsing, I started looking at hybrids and Jason asked me to give one a try. He was very helpful and I ended up buying a used Taylor Made M2 4-hybrid from him for $50, plus he put a new grip on that one, too. Very pleased that he didn't try to talk me into getting a new $300 club like many shops might. Very pleasant and knowledgeable staff. Reasonable prices. If I'm back in the East Bay nearby I will stop back in.

Kepler's Golf in Walnut Creek has a great family-type atmosphere and is the kind of place where…read morethey genuinely get to know their customers. I was first referred there years ago by a fellow golfer, and since that first visit I've been a regular customer and have also referred many of my golfing friends there over the years. It's a comfortable shop with people who clearly care about helping golfers improve their game. The staff is extremely knowledgeable and always willing to spend the time helping you find the right club or shaft for your swing. In my experience, their shaft selection is one of the best I've come across. They also have all the equipment needed for excellent club fitting and really work with you to match the equipment to the way you swing and play the game. Whether it's dialing in the right shaft, doing repairs or making adjustments, they have all the right tools and experience to get it done right. You can tell they've been doing this a long time and take pride in what they do. It's one of the best golf shops around, and every time I go in there I leave feeling confident about the equipment I'm playing.

They had soccer and other special shoes (all used), hockey, ice skates, roller skates, helmets, ice skating accessories (not too many but decent), fishing rods, paddle boards, ski and snow boards. We found an almost new pair of ice skates and some other stuff. Not sure if we would go again but definitely good for those growing kids and their needs. The staff was helpful too, although no one can actually point you to the right size, right brand or sometimes even the sports. You just walk around and find yourself stuff, no one to assist. Definitely a good value for those expensive sports and hobbies.

AJ at Grip It Golf took the time to get my equipment dialed in properly, explaining "the why" throughout the entire process. He set me up with a great deal on a fitted set of irons and later matched my driver with the proper shaft. His turnaround time was impressively fast, his pricing is very reasonable, and his knowledge of the game and equipment is second to none. I will certainly be back as my game progresses and highly recommend Grip It Golf to anyone looking for a reputable shop!

Once I find a shoe I just keep buying it here because I want this brick and mortar store to stay open. But every once in a while when my shoe changes and I have to find a new one it's nice to know that you have a year to bring it back if it doesn't work out. :-) Keep coming back y'all in person, or the brick and mortar stores will die

My…read moreexperiences have generally been positive--REI employees are typically friendly and helpful, similar to the vibe at Trader Joe's. Unfortunately, that wasn't the case at this location. The old lady that works there was unexpectedly rude during an unprompted interaction. With no eye contact or interaction between us she walked up to be and began speaking to me. When I looked up I was just confused because I wasn't even sure she was talking to me or the other person who also walked up next to me on the other side. When I didn't respond her attitude escalated and she spoke to me in a condescending, "talking at" manner, as if I didn't understand English. The completely unprovoked rudeness was so unwarranted.
