Question 1

Where is Golf City Sports?

Accepted Answer

We are at Urb. El Pilar, Edificio Notaría Bajo, Km 168 on the A-7 in Estepona, 29688, Málaga. We are directly on the coast road, roughly 20 minutes from Marbella, 25 minutes from Sotogrande and 45 minutes from Málaga airport, with parking outside.

Question 2

What are your opening hours?

Accepted Answer

Monday to Friday 10:00 to 17:30, Saturday 10:00 to 15:00, closed Sunday. Fittings, lessons and simulator sessions run within those hours, and evening simulator slots can be arranged for groups by request.

Question 3

Do I need an appointment?

Accepted Answer

Not to browse the shop, buy equipment, or have grips fitted — walk in any time we are open. Custom fittings, lessons and simulator sessions do need booking, which you can do on this site or by calling +34 952 896 710.

Question 4

Which golf brands do you stock?

Accepted Answer

Titleist, Callaway, Ping, Mizuno, Srixon, Cobra, Wilson Staff and Lynx for clubs; FootJoy and Skechers for shoes; PowaKaddy for electric trolleys; and Golf Pride, Winn, P2 and SuperStroke grips. We can order from all of them if something is not on the shelf.

Question 5

Do you sell second hand golf clubs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is a big part of what we do. Every pre-owned club is inspected by Mario, cleaned, re-gripped where needed and honestly graded. We only sell good quality used clubs — anything that fails inspection does not go on the rack.

Question 6

Can I try clubs before I buy them?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every club in the shop can be hit into our upgraded SkyTrak+ launch monitor before you spend anything, so you can compare your current club against the alternatives on real data rather than a hunch.

Question 7

Do you ship golf clubs across Spain?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We ship throughout mainland Spain, with free delivery on orders over €150. Clubs are packed properly for transit. Local delivery around Estepona and Marbella can often be arranged same or next day — call us.

Question 8

Do you speak English?

Accepted Answer

Yes — English and Spanish, both fluently. The majority of our customers are English-speaking residents and visiting golfers, so the whole fitting and coaching process runs in whichever you prefer.

Question 9

Which courses are near you?

Accepted Answer

Valle Romano and Estepona Golf are minutes away, with Atalaya, El Paraíso, Los Flamingos, La Quinta and Guadalmina a short drive east towards Marbella, and Finca Cortesín, Sotogrande and La Reserva to the west. We play them and we are happy to tell you which are worth the green fee that week.

Question 10

How long has Golf City Sports been open?

Accepted Answer

Since December 2008. Since day one the aim has been permanently low and competitive prices with a strong quality ethic — and, importantly, listening to what customers actually need rather than selling them the most expensive option.

Question 11

Do you offer a warranty on used clubs?

Accepted Answer

Every pre-owned club is inspected, graded and sold with any specific flaw written on the ticket. If something we sold you turns out to have a fault we missed, bring it back and we will put it right — that is how we have kept a 4.9 rating over 272 reviews.

Question 12

Can you adjust clubs I did not buy from you?

Accepted Answer

Of course. Re-gripping, lengthening, shortening, re-shafting and loft and lie adjustment are all workshop services, and it makes no difference to us where the clubs came from.

Question 13

How much does a golf club fitting cost in Estepona?

Accepted Answer

A full fitting is €50, and the entire fee is redeemable against any club you buy from us afterwards. If you buy clubs, the fitting is effectively free. If you do not, you keep a written spec sheet you can take anywhere.

Question 14

How long does a custom fitting take?

Accepted Answer

Between 60 and 90 minutes. A driver-only fitting is usually closer to an hour; a full bag fitting including irons, wedges and set make-up takes longer and we sometimes split it across two visits.

Question 15

Do I need to bring my own clubs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, please do. Hitting your current clubs first gives us the baseline that every other number is compared against. If you are visiting and have not brought clubs, we can still fit you using our own reference sets.

Question 16

What launch monitor do you use?

Accepted Answer

An upgraded SkyTrak Plus, hitting into a top-quality mat installed by Grassify Marbella. It measures ball speed, launch angle, spin, carry, descent angle and side-to-side dispersion on every shot.

Question 17

Am I a good enough golfer to be fitted?

Accepted Answer

Beginners benefit more from fitting than good players do, not less. A high handicapper playing clubs that are two inches too long and four degrees too upright is fighting the equipment before they even start. There is no minimum standard.

Question 18

Do you fit left-handed golfers?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most of the ranges we carry are available in left hand, and we hold left-handed fitting heads. Mention it when you book so we have the right options ready.

Question 19

How much does the golf simulator cost to hire?

Accepted Answer

€30 per hour, and that covers up to four players on the same booking. It is one of the cheapest ways for a group to spend an hour on this coast.

Question 20

How many people can use the simulator at once?

Accepted Answer

Up to four. More than that and the session stops being enjoyable — you spend it waiting. For larger groups we can book consecutive hours.

Question 21

Do I need my own clubs to use the simulator?

Accepted Answer

No. Bring them if you have them, but we will lend you a set from our rental stock for the session at no extra cost.

Question 22

Can I play a full 18 holes on the simulator?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and a round takes roughly 90 minutes to two hours for one or two players. Book two hours if a full round is the plan.

Question 23

Is the simulator suitable for beginners or children?

Accepted Answer

Very much so. There is no pressure, no lost balls and no group behind you, which makes it a far less intimidating introduction to golf than a first tee. It is also a good rainy-day option for families staying nearby.

Question 24

How much does re-gripping a golf club cost?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the grip you choose. Grips start around €10 and run to €35 for premium putter grips, and fitting is included in that price. A full set of eight to twelve clubs is quoted before we start.

Question 25

How long does re-gripping take?

Accepted Answer

A single club takes a few minutes. A full set is around twenty minutes — most customers wait in the shop or come back after a coffee.

Question 26

How often should I replace my golf grips?

Accepted Answer

In this climate, once a year if you play regularly. Sun and heat degrade grip rubber far faster here than in northern Europe. The test is simple: if the top of the grip looks shiny where your thumbs sit, it is time.

Question 27

Can you replace a broken graphite shaft?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We keep a selection of replacement shafts in stock and can order anything we do not hold. The new shaft is swing-weighted to match the rest of your set so the club does not feel foreign.

Question 28

Can you adjust the lie angle on my irons?

Accepted Answer

Yes, on a proper bending machine, up to about two degrees either way on most cast heads and more on forged. Soft forged heads move over a season of firm ground, so a yearly re-check is worth doing.

Question 29

Do I need an appointment for repairs?

Accepted Answer

Not for grips or small jobs — just walk in. For a re-shaft or a full set of loft and lie work, call ahead on +34 952 896 710 and we will make sure the parts and the bench are free.

Question 30

How old can my clubs be to sell them?

Accepted Answer

As a rule, up to seven or eight years old and in good condition. Older clubs occasionally still have value if they are a sought-after model — persimmon woods and classic blades are a different market — so it is worth asking.

Question 31

Do I get more for cash or part exchange?

Accepted Answer

Part exchange, always. Trade-in credit against a fitting or a new set is worth noticeably more than a cash offer, because we are not carrying the same risk on resale.

Question 32

What condition do the clubs need to be in?

Accepted Answer

Good condition: no crown cracks, no rusted or bent shafts, faces not worn through. Normal sole wear and a few cosmetic marks are completely fine — we clean and re-grip everything before it goes on the rack.

Question 33

Can you value my clubs without me driving over?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Email photos to mario@golfcitysports.com — the sole of each head, the face, the shaft labels and the grips — and we will give you a guide figure. The final offer is confirmed when we see them in person.

Question 34

Do you buy single clubs or only full sets?

Accepted Answer

Both. Individual drivers, wedges and putters are often easier for us to move than a full set, particularly premium putters and current-generation drivers.

Question 35

How much does it cost to rent golf clubs in Estepona?

Accepted Answer

From €25 per day, with weekly rates that work out considerably cheaper per day. Call or email for a quote on longer hires — monthly rental is available and popular with new arrivals.

Question 36

Is renting cheaper than flying with my clubs?

Accepted Answer

For most trips, yes. Airlines charge €60 to €120 each way for golf baggage, so a week's rental usually costs less than the flights alone — and there is no risk of your own clubs being damaged in transit.

Question 37

Do you have left-handed and ladies' rental sets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, both, in multiple flexes. Left-handed sets are limited in number so please reserve those ahead of time, particularly in spring and autumn.

Question 38

Should I book rental clubs in advance?

Accepted Answer

In high season — March to May and September to November — definitely. Outside those months we usually have sets available at short notice, but a phone call the day before removes all doubt.

Question 39

Can I rent clubs and then buy them?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and it is a sensible way to buy. If you rent a set and decide it suits you, we deduct what you have paid in rental from the purchase price.

Question 40

How much is a golf lesson in Estepona?

Accepted Answer

€45 for a one-hour one-to-one lesson with Mario Luca, PGA. Blocks of lessons are available at a reduced rate — ask in store or when you book.

Question 41

Are lessons suitable for complete beginners?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and the simulator bay is a much less intimidating place to start than a driving range. No lost balls, nobody watching, and immediate feedback on what the ball actually did.

Question 42

Do you teach juniors?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Junior lessons are available and the simulator holds a child's attention far better than a bucket of range balls does.

Question 43

Can I have a lesson on the course?

Accepted Answer

Playing lessons can be arranged at courses near us — on-course decision making is a different skill from ball striking and worth addressing separately. Ask when you book and we will sort the arrangements.

Question 44

Should I get a lesson or a club fitting first?

Accepted Answer

If your clubs are clearly wrong for you — miles too long, wrong flex, worn-out grips — fit first, because coaching on unusable equipment is wasted money. Otherwise a lesson first is usually the better order. Tell us your situation and we will give you a straight answer.
