Golf is a particularly gear driven sport. You can't pay it without clubs, a bag and golf balls. Add to that, shoes, clothes, gloves, green tools and the price tag gets pretty steep, pretty fast. Well, thank goodness for Golftown. No longer are you held hostage to inexplicably pricey pro shops, you just hop down to Golftown.
This is a big box store, so it has some of those limitations, but also many of the advantages: They carry virtually every club, ball and shoe on the market from entry level to pro played. The amount of stock and seasonal nature of golf ensures a lot of sales and specials; they supplement this with special buys. Their regular pricing is not that much of an advantage, but if you're willing to wait later in the season or use last seaon's tech then you can count on some deals.
They also have an indoor academy which is good, given we're socked in with snow for seven months. A few indoor lessons before the season starts helps get things off on the right foot in the Spring.
On the downside, not all the staff is that knowledgeable about the equipment or the game. You can get a fitting session with one of the staff pros though, and if you're buying high end gear, that's the way to go. This is where your pro shop or independent will have an advantage, their staff usually play and know how to do a complete fitting. You have to make an appointment at Golftown. Though frankly, considering how expensive golf can be, it only makes sense to give Golftown a try. -

Outside of hitting up a driving range a few times in my life, I do not golf. I came to this store with a friend and I have to say the name doesn't lie. It is pretty much golf city and has aisles and aisles of golf clubs, accessories, clothing and training equipment. They also have some equipment that gives you feedback on your swing.
The staff is really knowledgeable and very helpful, but you might have to look hard to find someone since the place is big. I can't comment on prices because I have nothing to compare them with but I was told they are pretty much what is to be expected.
If you need to gear up for golf this summer this is your one stop shop.
