The short answer
Ask for a quote that states the club categories, session inclusions and whether any credit applies. Price the recommended equipment and build separately.
The cost of fitting a set is shaped first by scope: one iron category, an iron set, or a full bag require different amounts of testing. The fitting fee should be distinguished from the cost of clubs, shafts, grips and assembly.
Define what “a set” means
An iron fitting may examine one representative head and then recommend a set composition. A full-bag fitting can include driver, fairway woods, hybrids, irons, wedges and putter. Ask which categories are included and whether the session occurs in one appointment.
A golfer replacing only irons should not compare that quote directly with a full-bag service. Conversely, an inexpensive short session may not answer questions about gaps across several categories.
Separate four cost lines
- Fitting fee: the session and any written recommendation.
- Clubheads and set composition: the chosen models and number of clubs.
- Components: shafts and grips, including any upgrade charges.
- Build or adjustment work: assembly, length, loft or lie work where applicable.
Ask whether a fitting fee is credited toward an order and what conditions apply. Do not assume it is included.
Example: two very different quotes
Quote A may cover a fitting only and leave you free to decide later. Quote B may bundle the fitting with eight irons and upgraded shafts. The larger number is not necessarily a dearer fitting; it may simply include equipment. Compare the same lines before choosing.
Budget for the decision, not a promise
Use the fitting process guide to identify the scope, then check the custom-build checklist before ordering. For a current fitting quote in Randwick, email Fix It Golf with the club categories you want assessed.
