Would you ever use them. I'm on vacation and only brought a wedge. there is a nice little 9 hole course here and I was thinking of renting a set.

Why wouldn't you? If you want to play, do it.

I don't know what kind of place it is, but I had a buddy that used the rental set at our local course a few years back and it was a very nice set of Cobras. They only charged like $5 on top of the regular price to let him use them. I say go for it.

A friend of mine owns maui jim golf rentals in Hawaii. He currently rents out well over 200 sets per month. It is hard to travel with clubs. You get them delivered to your hotel and they pick them up for you too. You can get any set of clubs for a very reasonable price, plus they sell LeviTee Golf Gloves too. If traveling, I would highly recommend it.

I would tend to agree - I have rented clubs before when on vacation but where golf was just an extra activity.  If I am going specifically for a golf vacation I nearly always bring my own set.  For me it is a bit like sleeping in your own bed! I am comfortable with my own clubs but as soon as I use someone else's I think the mental side lets me down as I know I am using clubs which I am not familiar with

I think it depends on where you are renting from.  Most clubs have rentals but I find that these are older clubs and not always satisfactory.  If you are just there for a quick round or whatever then fine but otherwise I would always bring my own clubs.  Then there are the other rental options - the sites that you can rent pretty decent clubs from and that are shipped via fedex to your hotel or wherever.  I have never tried one of those services but interested to know what experience others have had.  I have heard that these guys are pretty good...
