ClubHub Golf Club Rental review
Contributor Dave Agerter was pleased when opening his
fresh set of TaylorMade clubs from ClubHub
By Dave Agerter, For amateurgolf.com
Planning for a recent vacation, my wife and I
were willing
to try something new to eliminate the stress of
getting our
own golf clubs from home to our destination. I
learned
about ClubHub and decided to check out the
online golf
club rental service.
Before booking with ClubHub, I checked with
FedEx and
found that the cost to ship would be about
$250 for our
twosets if we gave the clubs to FedEx 10 days
prior to
departing. It would be $500-600 if I shipped
them two
days before.
Not only were we not interested in paying that
amount,
we play regularly and did not want to miss 10-
12 days of
playing as our clubs were en route.
We could have searched for a more reasonable
ground
shipping rate but the ClubHub process was
extremely easy
and efficient.
I went to
ClubHub.com
and set up
the arrival and departure dates. I completed
the easy to
follow instructions and provided my payment
information.
I did this about 20 days before I was to leave.
One day after arranging the order, I received a
confirmation. On the day the clubs shipped, I
received the
notification of shipment along with the FedEx
tracking
information. At this point I felt things were
going as
planned so I did not follow up with FedEX since
in my
business experience they always delivered!
Once we arrived at our destination, we called
the front
desk and found that the clubs were in storage
at the hotel.
They were brought to our room.
We opened the boxes and found clean, new
sets of
TaylorMade Rocketballz woods and
Rocketbladez irons.
Our expectations were exceeded. We were
also provided
12 TaylorMade balls.
The return process was equally efficient. We
just cleaned
the clubs and placed them in the reusable
containers,
locked the lock and gave them to the front
desk. FedEx
was contacted by ClubHub to make the pick
up. We went
on our way to the airport.
Three days or so after we arrived home I got
an email
indicating that ClubHub received the return in
good
condition and the process was completed.
This was truly a process and company I would
recommend
to others not willing to lug clubs through
airports and
rental car buses.
