I'm quite surprised it took this long to get a Golf Galaxy in the area. There is a Dick's Sporting Goods in Bluffton, but this is probably the first of it's kind on the island. They had offered quite a few opening day offers such as putting contests, gift cards for the first (?) people. (I heard some people waited a while in line for the store to open and only received $10 off). My wife and I wanted to see if they had any specials on clubs. She still has a starter set and is looking to get something geared towards her game. We went back with one of the associates (golf pro from their Charlotte store) who put her on the simulator. She was there for at least an hour while the pro evaluated her swing, grip, stance, etc. Essentially she got a free lesson. But of course it wasn't free since we did purchase 4 clubs to begin the transition. She loves the new Big Bertha Reva's and hope to continue finishing up the set. They had some specials and quite a bit of clothing and accessories. They will now compete with Worldwide and PGA Store. It would be nice if the clubs could be discounted by store discretion. Apparently prices are set by the manufacturer. read more

Golf Galaxy is a nice store with a lot of golf equipment and clothing. I was looking for a new driver and stopped in to hit some clubs that I had in mind after doing much research and reading on the latest and greatest. I told the gentleman what I wanted to try and was told I "had" to have an $80 fitting in order to try "new" clubs. The $80 would go to the cost of the new club. If I chose not to purchase I would be out $80 apparently. I did not want a fitting but they insisted the only way I could try new clubs was to have a fitting. I have played golf close to 40 years and have a really good idea of what I like and don't like. I have been "fitted" on several occasions and the results have never been great. However they insisted I must have a fitting to even try their precious new clubs. I left there and went directly to Edwin Watts Golf. They handed me every club I wanted to try, let me hit balls without bothering me, weeded out the ones that didn't feel right, picked the one I liked and was on my way in less than 45 minutes with a new Callaway. And my do it myself fitting has provided a driver I hit way better than anything I ever got from someone else telling me what was "best" for me. read more

I had a shaft installed on a club head 2 months ago. Yesterday the club head was loose from the shaft. I took the club back to the Hilton Head Island Golf Galaxy for repair. I assumed that they would fix the club at no cost. Wrong, they charged me. On top of that, I was told the club would be ready the next day. Wrong, they wanted to keep it for another 24 hours. I asked for a credit; but did not get one. They asked me if I stored my clubs in my garage. I said yes. They believe that this could have caused the epoxy to fail in 2 months. I guess I should not use or store the clubs in anything but 70 degree weather. How absurd. I do not recommend this store since they do not do good repair work and they do not stand behind their work. Never going back. read more
