Pro shops, golf stores, club fitters and teaching pros can offer golf club trade-ins without buying and reselling used clubs themselves by partnering with a trade-in company like GolfRoots. You give the customer a value, we take the clubs, and the customer gets money toward their next club. GolfRoots also runs an affiliate program that pays partners when their customers buy clubs from us.
Why offer trade-ins at all?
The question most golfers ask before buying a new driver or a new set of irons is "what do I do with my old ones?" If you have an answer, the upgrade is an easier decision. Without one, the old clubs stay in the bag a little longer and the sale waits.
Why not just take trade-ins yourself?
Carrying used clubs means pricing every one, finding room on the floor, and holding inventory until it sells. Values on used models move as new models come out. For most shops, fitters and simulator venues, that's work and risk that doesn't fit the business.
How does it work with GolfRoots?
- Look up a club's value with our Pro Portal trade-in tool.
- Share the value with your customer.
- Work with our team to send the clubs in.
Dallas-Fort Worth partners can also bring clubs by our shop in Farmers Branch, Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm.
How does the affiliate program fit in?
Not every customer needs a new set from your wall. A beginner who wants an affordable used set, a student who needs a specific wedge, or a golfer looking for a discontinued model can find it at GolfRoots, where every used club is listed with its own specs and photos. When customers you send to us buy clubs, you earn money on the purchase. You can sign up on our affiliate registration page.
Who is this a good fit for?
- Pro shops at public and daily-fee courses that want to help golfers upgrade without stocking used clubs.
- Indoor golf and simulator venues whose customers try new clubs on the sim and ask what to do with their old ones.
- Club fitters whose clients are replacing clubs that still have value.
- Teaching pros who are often asked where to find good used clubs.
- Golf stores that want a trade-in option without running a used department.
