return to top
Question: What is your Guarantee?
Answer:

The Golf Club provides you with peace of mind knowing that you are getting the absolute lowest price possible on the 'net (all prices are in US Dollars). If, within 30 days of purchase, you find a legitimate price from an Authorized Internet Retailer lower than that paid at The Golf Club, we will gladly match that price as a courtesy.

An "Authorized" dealer is one that has been authorized by the manufacturer to sell their product on-line. For the major manufacturers, there are only a handful of truly "Authorized" Internet Retailers. Items must be exact and in-stock.

But we are more than just low prices. Here are some of the other benefits of shopping at GolfDiscount.com:

  • No sales tax (Texas residents excluded)
  • Liberal return policy
  • 30 day no-lemon policy
  • Over $5 million inventory
  • Shop safe using our secure server  
  • Your order usually shipped within 24 hours

Warranty & Return Policies 
The Golf Club strives to provide you with the best possible warranty and return policies in the business. All golf equipment purchased from The Golf Club is covered by the original manufacturer's warranty which is usually from 1-2 years from date of purchase. Please consult with us regarding a specific manufacturer's warranty policy.

Return Policy 
The Golf Club will gladly provide a full refund for any unused golf equipment returned within 60 days of purchase. Once you have used the equipment, it is no longer considered new and you will be charged a minimum 25% restocking fee, based on condition, for any used merchandise return (limited to 60 days from purchase).

Simply contact The Golf Club toll-free at 1-888-423-0102 or 512-916-4653 (international) and we will assist you through our product return process. The Golf Club will refund only the full purchase amount for unused golf products, excluding the shipping and handling fees.

No-Lemon Policy 
The Golf Club provides you with our special 30-day "no lemon policy". This policy states that in the event that your equipment is defective (within 30 days of purchase) we will have your equipment picked up by UPS (free of charge, excludes International customers) and replace your equipment to you rather than make you wait for the warranty service. Your equipment will be returned by UPS ground free of charge (International customers excluded). If you have altered your equipment in any way, it is not deemed defective and is exempt from this policy.

After 30 days have expired, you are responsible for the shipping and handling fees for returning your golf equipment to The Golf Club for warranty service. Once returned, The Golf Club will replace your equipment with a new product or have the equipment repaired in accordance with the golf manufacturer's warranty policy (please consult with us regarding specific manufacturer warranties). The Golf Club will then ship your equipment to you UPS ground service free of charge (International customers excluded).

Special Order Policy
We do not charge extra for special orders. However, if a special order is returned or canceled before we can cancel it with the manufacturer, you will be subject to a 20% re-stocking fee ($25 minimum). That's what makes them special...they're made just for you. Please make sure you are committed to receiving your merchandise when special ordering. Other special orders may be subject to other fees/conditions. Please call for complete details.

At The Golf Club, our goal is to make sure that you, our customer, has a great shopping experience...not just the best price anywhere, but the best service, too.

return to top
Question: Why do I get an Address Verification (AVS) error when trying to order using my credit card?
Answer: Our credit card processor requires us to make sure that the billing address you provide matches the address on your credit card statement. Double-check and be sure that you are using the correct billing address. Corporate cards sometimes get sent directly to the cardholder so their home address may be required. If you have recently moved, your credit card company may not have updated your information yet. If you have moved or continue to get an AVS error, we recommend that you call the toll-free number on the back of your credit card. The credit card issuer should be able to help you with the AVS error.
return to top
Question: What was the total charged to my credit card?
Answer:

When you place your order online, you are presented with the price of the merchandise, the shipping charge, Texas sales tax (if applicable) and any discounts during checkout. You will only be charged 8.25% sales tax if your order is being delivered to Texas.

Your total charge is shown on the Confirmation Page. If you provided your email, you will receive a Confirmation Email that also shows the total charge.

return to top
Question: Can you invoice me?
Answer: We require individuals and businesses to use a credit card to secure all purchases. Any other requests should be emailed to Customer Service.
return to top
Question: Is it safe to use my credit card online?
Answer:

Yes. We never send personal information, such as your credit card number, over the network in a way that is readable to anyone but us. We encrypt your information and send it over the Internet using SSL (secure socket layer) technology.

SHIPPING
Question: Where will you ship your products?
Answer:

Right now, we will only ship within the United States. We are working on shipping outside the United States.

return to top
Question: What are your shipping options?
Answer:

Shipping is FREE.

Depending on how much you have spent, you have received USPS Priority or UPS Ground FREE Shipping.  You may pay for faster delivery. See Shipping & Returns for more details.

 

return to top
Question: How long will my order take to be received?
Answer:

Orders usually ship within 24 hours of order approval. Since most orders are shipped via UPS Ground, their delivery typically takes around 3 days. The total time for delivery of your order should be around 4 business days.

return to top
Question: Do you offer same day service?
Answer:

No. We do not hand-deliver our gifts so the earliest that your recipient could possibly receive their gift is the following business day (if air shipping is available for that gift and if you utilize the overnight air shipping option before the daily cutoff time for the item).

Please call to discuss the options.   888-453-0102

return to top
Question: Can you deliver to a P.O. Box or A.P.O. Box?
Answer: Yes, but only when shipped via USPS. See Shipping & Returns.
return to top
Question: Please define a ?Business Day??
Answer: A business day is Monday thru Friday with the exclusion of any holidays. Saturday, Sunday and any US National holidays ARE NOT business days.
return to top
Question: When does my order need to be placed to ship on the same day?
Answer: We guarantee that expedited (overnight and 2nd day air) orders placed by Noon CST will ship the same business day. This gives our Fulfillment Department enough time to assemble your selection prior to pick-up times. Expedited orders placed after the cutoff time will ship the next business day. Ground shipments may take 1 business days to process and then ship. If you are in a hurry and your order must ship or arrive on a specific business day, we recommend that you call us to discuss your options.  888-453-0102
return to top
Question: Do you deliver on Saturdays?
Answer: UPS delivers on Saturdays for an extra charge but does not guarantee delivery days. We cannot deliver Sundays or US national holidays.
return to top
Question: How much will shipping cost?
Answer: Shipping is always FREE for orders over $75.00. Depending on how much Equipment you have purchased, you may receive Free UPS shipping or Free FedEx shipping. You may always upgrade shipping if you want faster delivery. See Returns & Shipping for details.
return to top
Question: Why is shipping so expensive?
Answer:

We offer free shipping on all purchases over $75.00. The type of shipping is based on the size of the box of the equipment ordered. When you upgrade shipping, you are increasing the speed at which your equipment is delivered.

The secret of shipping charges is that they are based upon the size of the shipping box (not the weight) and the speed at which it is delivered. The rates we charge are based on the actual air shipping rates. We do not attempt to make money from the shipping charge.

return to top
Question: If I order more than one item, is there a discount on shipping?
Answer:

All shipping is FREE for items over $75.00. Although, if you order items under $75.00 the shipping will be added to the order.  Rarely, we can combine shipping and add products to a box meant for a certain item.  Therefore, the items are shipped separately in most cases.

return to top
Question: Will my order be left if there is no one home?
Answer: No. Caveat. If you have left a signature override with UPS, they may leave the package at your door. We do not use the word Golf in our label. It comes from TGC.
return to top
Question: What about damaged shipments?
Answer:

First, we apologize. Sometimes UPS trucks hit Pizza trucks and boxes get crushed. We try hard to pack your Golf Equipment so it doesn't suffer when this happens.

Always inspect your Order as soon as it arrives. We inspected your Equipment before we packed it. It was flawless. So, if you find defects, these happened during shipping. If you find anything, please email our Customer Service immediately or telephone us at 888-453-0102. We will need 3 pieces of information:

1. Your Order Number (from the Confirmation Page -- we can look this up)
2. UPS or USPS Tracking Number (from the Shipping Box)
3. What was damaged

Keep the shipping box, the packaging, everything! We will tell you what to do next about this return. We will need to get the packaging and the items back to The Golf Club headquarters, but wait until you communicate with Customer Service.

Once the items are back at The Golf Club headquarters, our Quality Assurance team and Fraud Team will both review the damage. The Fraud team gets involved just to make sure items haven't been damaged as a result of wear and tear (they are really good!). Full refunds are given, including any expenses incurred for returns, for all damaged goods. We will contact you when credit has been given.

Question: Can I specify a future delivery date?
Answer: Yes - Please e-mail customer service to make arrangements prior to placing your order.
return to top
Question: Are delivery dates guaranteed?
Answer:

Ground shipment delivery dates are not guaranteed. 2nd day air shipments are guaranteed to arrive within 2 business days of the ship date. Next day air shipments are guaranteed to arrive by the next business day afternoon. If an air shipment is late, we will issue a credit for the shipping cost.

* NOTE - We cannot guarantee delivery dates for circumstances beyond our control (e.g.,   unsuccessful delivery attempts, carrier weather delays, incorrect addresses, etc.) NO  refunds will be issued under these circumstances.

return to top
Question: What will happen if I give an incorrect shipping address?
Answer:

PLEASE be certain of your address before ordering!  We pass along the UPS fee of $10 for the correction, which will appear on your credit card statement as a separate charge. Unfortunately, your equipment will probably not get to its destination in time for the important occasion if you supply an incorrect address when ordering. Make sure that you include apartment or suite numbers if applicable - UPS will charge the $10 fee for this as well.

If a package is returned to us because of an address problem, we will reship the package to you or a corrected recipient address. You will be charged for the additional shipping fees.

PRIVACY
Question: Will you share my personal information with other companies?
Answer:

Protecting your privacy is important to us. We will never, ever sell or give your personal information to anyone. We don't like it when it happens to us; we won't do it you.

Protecting Information Online...
Our site uses the industry standard Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol that encrypts personal information being transferred over the Internet during the ordering process. This information is kept in a protected directory accessible only by the employees that process online orders.
