Only place I buy my golf goods. Shout out to Ben who helped me in the shoe department. Helped me to get into a brand new pair of FootJoy Hyperflex. Friendly guy, really knows his stuff. What else can you ask for... ;) read more

let me just start off by saying Nick who runs club repair is the man. been there a couple of times now and nick never hesitates to take time away from his work to answer every single question that I have. I'm currently building out my irons and have had plenty of questions cause it's my first time and nick has been patient with me every time. golf mart is lucky to have him and I will continue to go to this location just because of nick! read more

Was in today to get some clubs re gripped. Tristan was super knowledgeable and professional while juggling incoming calls and multiple in person customers. As someone who has been on the other side of customer service I thought this deserved some recognition. Right on! read more

I purchased a set of irons directly from PXG at the beginning of the season. After playing them for a few months I felt like they weren't performing as I had expected. So I gave The Golf Mart San Rafael a call to see if they could help. I was able to speak with one of their Club Repair Specialists who asked me a handful of questions about what I was experiencing. After a short conversation, I decided to make the 45 minute drive to have them checked & adjusted. Once I arrived, the same Specialist set me up on the lie board in the hitting bay. 3 swings later, he confirmed my concern. The lie angle was between 2-3 degrees flat. The Specialist advised me on how the set would be adjusted from 3 iron - LW. I felt comfortable with his recommendations so I left the set with him to have the work performed. I picked up the set and have been very satisfied with the work performed. I'm striking the ball better and my confidence has increased more with each practice session or round of golf. Huge shout out to Nick, Augi and any other associate that works in the Club Repair Department. I would strongly recommend them for any of your club repair needs. They are in high demand so unless it is a small job like a grip replacement, don't expect an immediate turn around. Quality work takes time, but is worth the wait. read more

First of all, big shout out to JP (or was it PJ? I'm terrible with names...) who was very patient with me today while testing out the new Ping G430 drivers. He was extremely friendly and so willing to allow me to test a plethora of shafts, heads, and different adjustments. Also a huge shoutout to the friendly golf tech (unfortunately I didn't get his name) who got a new extended grip on my putter while I was going through my fitting. My experience overall with Golf Mart was excellent. Friendly and helpful staff, huge selection of golf equipment, and just a great environment to be in if you're needing golf gear. I ended up walking away with a new driver in my hand and have no regrets whatsoever after spending my time at golf mart. read more

I cannot begin to rave enough about our local Golf Mart in San Rafael. I have been golfing since the beginning of COVID, and over the past 5 years the folks at Golf Mart have helped get me fitted and have continued to assist in upgrading my game. As someone who was new to the game, it can be intimidating and overwhelming to go into a golf shop, but guys like Taylor and JP (and many others) have always been super supportive, helpful and patient and have NEVER pushed me into anything. In fact, I remember about one year into golfing I wanted to buy a new driver because I thought that was what would bring my game to the next level. JP spent about 45 minutes with me testing different drivers and we ultimately concluded that what I really needed to do was perhaps take a few lessons, use the driver I had and get the basics down before I went and spent $450 on a new driver. So, that's exactly what I did, and that was the completely correct, obvious decision. I have since purchased two drivers (and the new Mini Driver) but I appreciate the honest help and support I always get at the Golf Mart. Suffice it to say, I am now obsessed with golf and will ALWAYS go to the Golf Mart before I go anywhere in order to make my club purchases. The 90-day exchange program is also huge. Bottom line, I wish other businesses functioned in the same way they do at Golf Mart. Taylor, JP and the rest of crew, all the way down to the young high school guys who work there, they are all so professional, helpful and just always make it a great shopping experience. I am also pretty active in our local golf club, and the Golf Mart is always there to support our fundraisers, raffles and dinners. As you can see, I'm a pretty big fan and know lots of others who are just like me. read more

Came for new grips. Nick was super helpful in selecting a grip and Aaron saved my Sunday by doing a rush job. Great guys and great service, highly recommend! read more

Absolutely the best golf store in the Bay Area! They have superior club fitting and have tons of experience in that department. They can definitely improve your game and are super friendly. It always a pleasure to walk in and be greeted every time. read more

For our birthdays, my business partner and I finally decided we wanted to get in the game of golf. Although super intimidating, we figured "Well, at least if we have the equipment, we can start." My brother in law is a really good golfer and suggested we go to The Golf Mart. From the moment we walked in, Josh McDowel (sp?) was welcoming, demystified what we were looking for, and made the whole experience a blast. (Even quietly indicating that we had our gloves on the wrong hands...oops!). We needed vastly different sized clubs, petite and tall, and The Golf Mart had all we needed in stock. Josh and the store manager, Sam, spent a good hour with us fitting us for clubs, showing us a basic swing, then reviewing our swing and its effectiveness on the monitor. They really just started us out with the basics while not making us feel intimidated. Josh then showed us the latest (and cutest!) golf clothes and shoes for women that were super hip and stylish. Ecco, Adidas, Puma...really cool stuff. This place is not stuffy! After almost 3 years of grinding it out as small business owners, we decided spending time at The Golf Mart with Josh was one of the most fun afternoons we'd had in a long long time. Next stop, lessons and the driving range, but we got our gear at The Golf Mart and we'll be back! read more

I've been a long time customer at the Golf Mart in San Rafael and I have always loved their services. I just ordered a VERY customized set of sticks and their manager Sam W. did a fantastic job overseeing the build.

super friendly and knowledgeable staff. no-pressure fitting. they don't automatically steer you toward the most expensive equipment. brought home a used scotty cameron in mint condition. merry xmas to me! salesperson named hugo is really thoughtful and patient. happy to have this store in the neighborhood. read more

The staff was cool and fast at gripping my clubs and knowledge about what I was asking for

I was in dire need of a new pair shoes...so I walked in and hastily bought a beautiful Footjoy shoe, that after ultimately another glance and feel at home, wasn't for me. That said, knowing this store's stellar guarantees, and EXCELLENT customer service, I was able to not only get someone on the phone, but I was able to work with a knowledgeable staff there at the store for an exchange, THEY got me into EXACTLY the pair of kicks that WERE, for me!!! (Shouldn't have waved-off the readily available help that was there the first time.) Can't say enough about this location's staff, and large selection!!! Coupled, they paint a rosy experience awaiting anyone getting into the game, or a seasoned sport, that is new to town and looking for their reliable gear, repair, and/or maintenance shop! read more

About to start my first lesson and needed used clubs. So grateful for Ariel who was so kind and patient; she was able to find something that was perfect for me and my budget. Being a woman and a beginner, I was a little nervous but everyone here was so kind and got me the help that I needed! Will definitely be back! read more

If you need golf equipment in Marin County, there really is no where else to go... That is just a reality. The good news is: Golf Mart has really good people and a really good selection of just about anything you would want or need to play golf. They have three launch monitors, and many skilled fitters. They also have a very skilled and knowledgeable Golfsmith (to fix or adjust sticks). The manager is a really great guy, and is super helpful and effective. This is a top-notch establishment, with great parking... The one drawback is that there's not a lot of windows, and airflow is not great. It does get stuffy in there especially if you are doing a fitting... Highly recommended if you are a golfer! read more

I am just starting to learn how to play golf and I'm taking my first ever lessons next week. I went into the Golf Mart in San Rafael to buy some women's golf clothing for my upcoming lessons. I actually went in on back-to-back days, the first day with my Dad, who is obsessed with golf (although his obsession does not equal his abilities) because he think he knows what I need. And then today I went in and actually purchased my golf stuff without the pressure of my Dad telling me what to get. Both days the guys in Golf Mart were SO cool and helpful. The first day Taylor helped me and he was super encouraging and knowledgeable, and then today JP helped me buy my stuff. JP is so sweet and was super helpful too! Taylor and JP got me very fired up to play golf. After I have my golf lessons, I am going to come back and they are going to help me get a set of golf clubs and whatever else I need. Any way, it's kinda stressful starting a new sport, especially one like golf, but I will DEFINITELY go back and have Taylor and JP help me out! Thank you, Golf Mart!! read more

Great service! Taylor and Ryan gave great recommendations on the right clubs! Trade-in values are also fair.

Areil , helped me with my club fitting today she was great, very knowledgeable, Areil helped me with a Titleist three wood and correct shaft and the correct weight for the club head that works with my swing and ball speed thank you Areil. 5stars read more

I had such a wonderful experience @ the San Rafael store. I went to return the new set I bought as they did not work out and I had planned on checking out other iron sets and maybe pick up a hybrid and a wedge or two to complete the set. I was told that I was going to be set up with a female rep for fitting. I was kinda apprehensive at first as I often only see male golf fitters or even sales rep at that. But I was super happy getting fitted by Ariel. She was excellent! She made some really sound suggestions on the clubs that she thought would work with my swing and preferences. She was very patient and friendly. I had such a great experience with her. I ended up with Callaway iron set (a model that came out about 2 years ago) that was only less than $500! I also picked up an Adams 3W, Ping 4H & Callaway SW. I realize they're a mix of different brands but my word, they all felt so easy to hit and went straight - all brand new btw. I had about $275 left as credit after everything is said and done so I picked up a fun Ogio cart bag which I love so much and still had $50 credit. So thank you Ariel, you're awesome! Highly recommended. read more

To be quite honest this one star goes to the African-American dude Who works there. All they other stuff are so helpful and hospitable. I was in line for 15 minutes while he's been helping other customer , after he finished he just left without even telling me He is done Or tired Or he coming back. I hate it when he profile me , read more

Had a very poor customer service experience in Golf Mart today. Too bad because I live in San Rafael and this place is very convenient and has a good selection of items. However, my husband and I came in to buy new golf shoes and the sales associate (Augi) who was "helping" us REFUSED to show my husband any shoes besides the most expensive ECCO brand (which were on sale but still above what he wanted to pay). He asked directly to see some Nikes instead because he didn't like how the ECCOs fit and didn't like the price. The associate said "why? What's wrong with the ECCOS? I don't want to sell you the cheap and crappy Nikes" ... meanwhile though he was encouraging me to buy the exact same Nikes in women's. After he continued to refuse to even look in the back or check for his size, my husband walked out without any shoes. We ended up going to Dicks Sporting Goods in Petaluma and bought the same exact Nikes that the associate refused to show us. I understand the desire to upsell, but there was definite room for improvement in this customer service interaction. read more

Taylor was very apologetic and helpful when he realized my new shoes had come apart. He did everything in his power to make it as easy for me as possible to make the return and I walk out of there with a healthy resolution I felt very good about the interaction with them altogether. They do seem to be looking out for your best interest. well done, Taylor. Thanks again read more

What a great golf shop! Every time I go in there I'm always greeted by a friendly staff member, ready to help. The store is neat and clean and easy to find what I need. The manager Sam goes above and beyond to help his customers. I'm a beginner but sam and his crew made me feel comfortable asking questions so I could getting the right product Thank you golf mart San Rafael! read more

I've always enjoyed going to the Golf Mart in San Rafael. Nick, James & Ryan are always very nice, informative and helpful. Recently I had a warranty issue with my TaylorMade driver. Nick recommended that I call TaylorMade direct, which I did. After speaking with a person in the warranty department, I'm pleased to say that they took care of my issue and they are replacing my older M3 driver with the latest Stealth Carbon driver. Thanks again to Nick for his helpful suggestion!!! read more

My husband put a 2022 Driver on hold for 30 days. When he went to pick up the Driver he asked P.J. to check out the specs that he thought he ordered. They weren't correct so P.J. put him into the new 2023 Driver with the correct specs for the same price as the 2022. He bought a Hybrid Five Iron which they discounted plus included 2 sleeves of golf balls. He finds the staff not only very highly professional but knowledgeable as well. P.J. and Kevin has always been his "go to" people when it comes to golf. read more

The entire staff at the Golf Mart consistently offers intelligent and informative customer service, in particular Nick and JP always go the extra mile to make sure I end up with the right equipment. I have bought many sets of clubs over the years and Nick has always spent quality time ensuring my purchase is operable and profitable on the golf course. The knowledge base that Nick possesses about the trends in golf equipment is truly professional, literally 'tour level' command. Golf Mart earns 10-out-of-10 in all areas, and my full respect. read more

Can't give less than 1 star but I would if possible. I've been to this place multiple times because it's one of the few places in Marin that sells stuff off the shelf. There's a local guy in Pinole that I'll go to from now on for any re-grip issues. The customer service here is always horrible, I know I don't smell of Marin CC so I'm usually ignored. The guy today flat out refused to sell me a Scotty Cameron putter grip because people are just buying them and selling them for double on eBay... seriously asked me to bring my putter in to prove I actually owned one. Then said I don't need a new putter grip I needed to change my swing... rambled on about making 100 foot putts. If you have to make that long a putt then it's not your putter stroke but your inability to get it close with a wedge. Anyway I'm going with Amazon or somewhere other than here. read more

I love this store and how much they take care of me. I recently when in to buy a new 3 fairway metal and went through a full testing and fitting process and pretty much tried every brand they had. After full testing we landed on the new Taylormade M4 with a stiff Fujikura Atmos Red shaft. After spending time on the launch monitor we were getting great numbers, but Nick (the club builder/fitter there) felt that by using a different better Graphite Design Tour AD IZ-6 shaft with the same basic weight and flex characteristics, we could get a slightly better ball flight with better tighter dispersion and a touch more rollout/distence. Well they let me take the stock club to use while mine was ordered and being made. So I used this club and was loving it. Then my new club arrived and I switched them out and tried the new club. I was getting very weird results. It was flighted great, but everything was either going left or had this draw ball flight, I couldn't get it to fade and figure it out. The previous off the shelf one had this wonderful straight or slight fade shot shape which was what I was looking for, so this just was weird considering it was basically the same, but better shaft. So after being able to repeat this on the monitor at The Golf Mart for Nick, he was baffled and want to mess with the new club and try some stuff out to see if he could figure out what was going on. He took my off the shelf club, and the new custom one and pulled the heads to examine the shafts, the club head, and the width of the grip, and he spent a lot of "science" time on this to get it figured out. In the end, he found out that the new head was in spec, but a degree or two closed compared to my off the shelf club. He also took the shafts and checked the Spines and Flo to see where they were in comparison to how they were installed. It turns out that one was installed with the Spine/Flo in a slight left of center position and one was installed slightly right of center. So this with the club head being closed as well as the new shaft having a slightly thinner grip, were all adding up to me having a more draw bias club where the old one was a fade bias (which is more what I want my 3W to be). After I got the newly adjusted club back where he put the previous head one, the shaft installed in the same location as the old one, I played a couple rounds with it... it's NOW AMAZING and is doing all the things we talked about when we ordered it, absolutely amazing performance and distance and shot shape control. Nick and The Golf Mart went way above my normal expectations of their service and spent the time and effort to get me a club that performs and works amazing. I'm extremely happy with the club and service I received from them, can't say it enough, this place is just the best golf store I've ever spent my money at. Thanks again Nick and The Golf Mart, Jason read more

My boyfriend and I had a fantastic experience here. Ryan Eastman helped us get set up with custom clubs and it was a breeze! His expertise and knowledge was amazing and we were so grateful for his help! read more

A couple of reviews have mentioned that no one approached them or seemed to care they were there. Well, I go into Golfmart ALL the time and the one thing I love about this place is they allow you to window shop with no pressure. No one hassles you and tries to pressure you into buying stuff. If that's what you want - go the car dealership. Was fitted for a driver by Nick recently and he's extremely knowledgable and explains things in an understandable way along with the high tech info at his disposal. He is like a golf guru. By the way, if you need assistance, a good way to get it is to ask. I'm not sure they hire mind readers there. read more

Nick is my go to guy for dialing in my preference on building clubs. Nick convinced me to switching the weight (a mere 4 grams less) on the sole of my new fairway wood that I thought was inconsequential. Turned out to make a difference and produced a more consistent ball flight that I wanted. I now love my new fairway wood. Thank you Nick. read more

I really like Golf Mart! I don't golf, but my boyfriend does and they seem to have everything that makes him happy in a store which is a rarity in itself!! The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a little putting area which occupies my time while he is shopping around and trying new clubs. This is a really great golf shop. Try it!! read more

If you are interested in golf/golf equipment I recommend golf mart San Rafael. Ive been there several times and always got great customer service. I decided to recognize that today. I was helped by Casey. He was very helpful and knowledgable. He enjoys being there and is a real golfer and it shows. I really appreciate the customer service I received from him, as well as from the manager, whose name I did not catch. read more

Really bad service! On advice from a friend, I drove an hour to purchase fairway woods and a driver. The young man that waited on me couldn't have cared less. He asked what brand I wanted, and after telling him I really didn't know, he asked what brand I had now. I told him Taylormade, and he pointed to the Taylormade section and said "they are are right there" and walked off. If I had known what I wanted I could have ordered clubs on line. I thought that was what they were there for!! I was there less than ten minutes and drove home. Haggin Oaks here I come. read more

I bought a custom putter that the guys in the shop built, and I could not be more pleased with the results. Talk through a number of options with a number of guys on the team, and they were very helpful in making decisions. Great communication throughout, awesome customer service. can't recommend higher. read more

This store has gone WAY downhill. I spent 30 minutes trying to find golf shoes and No one came to help me. Two people sat at the front counter talking and no one offered to assist. No one welcomed me into the store and no one greeted me on the way out. The merchandise is poorly laid out and the selection is sparse at best. Very sad to see how bad this store has gotten. Better to drive to the East Bay to get proper selection and service . read more
