Simple store, great goods

by KouldBe311

This store is great. It took me 5 minutes to find my Titleist Pro VX1's, a Scotty putter, and a Foot Jot glove. Other BIG stores, it takes an hour. I was in and out in 5 minutes. Lucky for me, I had a tee time an hour later, so I had enough time to grab a beer up in Westchester before my round. Thanks World of Golf!!

• Pros: Easy to find equipment

Best Golf Store in NYC

by NYC311

I picked up a Calloway driver here a while back and it was a great experience. I not only got to demo the club upstairs, but I also got to check my swing callibration. It's a cool spot. Really friendly staff, great prices, and convenient midtown location. I definitely recommend this place for all golfers.

• Pros: AMAZING selection
• Cons: I wish there were more!

Attentive and Knowledgeable

by vibnyc

I went in to the World of Golf recently to buy a new driver. The sales guy was attentive and knowledgeable. Presented me with a couple of driver options and let me try them out in the upstairs practice net. Prices were in line with online and other stores. I would highly recommend getting your golf equipment here.

• Pros: Knowledgeable staff
• Cons: Limited selection compared to bigger golf stores

Well-stocked golf boutique.

The Scene
A quiet golf refuge from the whirlwind of Midtown. The highly knowledgeable staff is attentive and low-pressure. This is the kind of store where people raptly watch old tournaments on video and buy primers such as "Putt to Win!" Caters to ultra-wealthy tourists staying in nearby Waldorf-Astoria and Hotel Intercontinental.

The Goods
You'll find an awesome selection of clubs and shoes, and a giant stock of golf gloves. World of Golf stocks only premium products, even hard-to-find items like the Titleist Pro V1. The Callaway VFT Hawkeye titanium driver is a sight to see, albeit, at $400, an expensive one. Don't shop here with someone who's easily bored--you may want to relax and stay a while.
