GolfRoots runs free golf club trade-in events at private clubs in Dallas-Fort Worth. Our team comes to your club for about four hours, grades and values each member's clubs on the spot, and every dollar of trade-in value goes to your golf shop as credit for the member. There is no fee to the club. We are based in Farmers Branch, just north of Dallas, so for DFW clubs we are close by, and we work with more than 350 private clubs nationwide.
Who runs golf club trade-in events at DFW country clubs?
GolfRoots does. Colonial Country Club in Fort Worth, home of the PGA Tour's Charles Schwab Challenge, is one of the clubs listed on our partner program page, alongside clubs like The Riviera, Medinah, Oakland Hills and River Oaks. On average, each event brings in more than $4,000.
Because our showroom and shop are in Farmers Branch, a DFW club gets a local team that knows the area, and members who want to see more clubs after the event can visit us Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
How does a trade-in event work at a private club?
- You pick a date. Request an event through our trade-in event page or call 214-302-7440.
- We send marketing materials ahead of time so you can let members know what to bring and when.
- Our trained team comes on site for about four hours. The club provides a 6 or 8 foot table, usually in or near the golf shop, and Wi-Fi.
- Members bring their clubs. We grade and value each club and give the member their number right there.
- Credit goes to your golf shop. The trade-in value is applied as credit in your golf shop, so members spend it with you, not somewhere else.
- You get a member-by-member breakdown after the event, and GolfRoots pays the club by check or credit card.

When is a good time to hold one in DFW?
Any time members are thinking about new equipment. Many clubs like to schedule a trade-in day ahead of a member-guest, a club championship or the holiday shopping season, when members are already looking at new drivers, irons and putters in the shop. Because there is no fee and the event takes about four hours, it is also easy to pair with a fitting day or a demo day you already have on the calendar.
What can members trade in?
Golf clubs: drivers, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges and putters. Headcovers and bags cannot be traded in. Iron sets with missing clubs are worth less than complete sets, so remind members to bring every club from the set. We wrote a short guide you can send members before the day: trade-in day at your club: what members should know.
What if we are a public course, range or indoor golf venue?
We run on-site events at private clubs only. Public courses, driving ranges, indoor golf and simulator venues, golf stores, pro shops, club fitters and teaching pros across DFW can still offer trade-ins year round, one customer at a time, through our Pro Portal. See how pro shops, fitters and simulator venues can offer trade-ins, or all of our golf business partner programs, including our affiliate program for partners whose customers buy clubs from GolfRoots.
