Offering tremendous value, Costco’s wedges — the Kirkland Signature three-piece set, also provides surprising feel and performance. What they lack in customization, they make up for in quality.
Introduction
I know what you’re thinking: a store that’s famous for its hot dogs and free samples can’t produce a quality wedge. That’s what my first thought was when I saw that they were on offer. However, getting these in my hands quickly changed my mind. Costco has produced great wedges in the Kirkland Signatures.
Looks
These wedges don’t look like they cost $57 apiece and yet, they do. They look just as sleek and classy as any other OEM’s wedges, and at that price point, it’s actually shocking. The wedges feature a wide sole, milled faces, and a traditional silver color. Sporting True Temper shafts, these wedges aren’t devoid of technology either.
Sound & Feel
The Kirkland Signature wedges are not forged clubs, so don’t expect butter (that’s down a different aisle in Costco). That said, the wedges feel satisfying but thin at impact. Compared to other wedges I’ve recently hit, it felt as though there was less mass behind the ball, despite the club head being the same size.
Performance
While the looks and price were surprising, the most shocking aspect of these clubs was their performance. My expectation was that they would spin noticeably less than other wedges I’ve used and tested lately. This, however, just wasn’t the case.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, I won’t be able to convince wedge snobs that Costco produces the ultimate wedges. Just to be clear, they do not. These are not the best performing or the best feeling wedges in the market right now. But Kirkland Signature have made surprisingly great wedges.
Costco Kirkland Signature Wedge
The Kirkland Signature wedge from Costco. The review the golf world has been waiting for with bated breath for MONTHS. Following all of the hype from the best of the best in the golf world for the K-Sig balls and game-changing Kirkland putter, these new wedges were sure be on everyone’s radar.
The Looks
Much like the KS1 putter, the Kirkland Signature wedges just look fine. Nothing more, nothing less. If you’re a wedge player that likes the sleek look of something like a Callaway MD5 or a high-end forged Miura, these likely aren’t going to do it for you. From address, the profile is a solid medium and the head has a somewhat stubby toe.
How Does it Feel?
You know what? The Kirkland wedges don’t feel that bad! Don’t get me wrong, again, you won’t confuse these for nicely forged Tour-grade wedges when it comes to precise and buttery feel. The feel is somewhat muted, however, so it shouldn’t be harsh on your hands. I can’t tell you I felt a ton of “face location” at impact.
How Does it Sound?
Much like the feel, the Kirkland wedge doesn’t sound that bad. It’s a fairly muted click, but very nondescript. The distinct sound is that thump through the turf I mentioned before. It’s a common sound for a decently struck wedge with soles of this thickness and shape.
On-Course Performance
Let’s just get this out of the way up front. This is not a wedge designed for above average, serious golfers with solid wedge games.
Final Thoughts – Kirkland Signature Wedge
Listen, the Kirkland Signature wedges are fine, but let’s not get crazy here. These are not earth-shattering golf clubs and I wouldn’t say they’re worth the hype driving them off the shelves. I’m sure I’ll hear a lot of comments coming to their defense, but it’s not necessary. Look, I get a kick out of all this Kirkland golf stuff.
