Costco Kirkland Signature Golf Ball

It’s possible you never even knew Costco was in the golf ball game. Or maybe you’re one of the rabid Kirkland Signature fans that snaps up as many as possible every time Costco stocks them? Regardless, I’ll give you some of the backstory as I know and understand it.

How Does it Feel?

Feel is very much a subjective category that any player will “measure” in some different way. You have to remember also that you’re paying $15/dozen for the Costco Kirkland Signature ball. Compared to most other $15 balls, the K-Sig feels fine.

Around the Green

Like I said above, the Costco Kirkland Signature golf ball performs “just ok” in this category. My immediate reaction to putting and greenside wedge shots was “eh, it’s fine.” It felt ok, spun ok-ish, and was good enough, but not exciting . Everything about the K-Sig around the green was boring and generic.

On the Approach

Approach shots are where I thought the Costco Kirkland Signature ball performed the best. Like I’ve described previously, they’re fairly generic and perform adequately. The K-Sig didn’t have extreme spin either direction and felt fine off the club.

Off the Tee

Off the tee is where I found the Costco Kirkland Signature to start getting frustrating. In the interest of full honesty, I will openly admit that I’ve hit far worse golf balls with a driver. That being said, I don’t really have much great to say about the K-Sig off the tee.

Final Thoughts

Let’s face it, the Costco Kirkland Signature golf ball is an ok budget ball and nothing more . I will admit that its $15/dozen price tag is impressive and enticing, but I’d rather spend $5 more and play the Top Flite Gamer at this point.

Afterthought

After writing this review, I was thinking about all of the forum threads I’ve read since the K-Sig first popped up. It blows my mind to see the demand for this ball amongst golf nerds like myself. Sure, picking up a couple dozen to give the hype a shot or to keep a few in the bag for novelty makes sense.

What We Know About the New Ball

We’ll know more once we can hit (and cut) the new 4-piece, but there’s a good bit we can piece together from the information at hand.

The Probable Upside

While there’s plenty of buyer beware here, I don’t expect the new K-Sig will be a bad ball. SM Parker (formerly Fantom) is among the more reputable ball plants. We rated the 3-piece as Good, and I suspect the 4-piece will be just as Good.

Signature Putters and Wedges Too

The ball may not be the only Kirkland golf story this fall. Those looking closely at Costo’s selection of images for the new 4-piece ball may have gotten a glimpse of what appears to be a Kirkland Signature putter.

Final Thoughts – Costco Kirkland Signature 3-Piece V2 Golf Ball

  • In my opinion, the real test of whether or not a Costco Kirkland Signature 3-Piece v2 ball is worth your time comes down to the value of a dollar. The $1 per ball price point is certainly impressive, but in my opinion, doesn’t necessarily make the deal. For $2 a ball, there are a lot of quality options on the market that I’d rather (and have) play ...
