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...

    • I did the RTJ trail, we just did Grand National and Capitol Hill. We were trying to minimize travel time. It gave us 5 courses to play. You pare playing 3 of the 5 we played.  If I had to pick, I would play the Lakes over the Links at Grand National. Links felt too penal on approach shots. If you can't get height or spin, it felt like every ball that hit the center of the green ran off the back. A lot of the greens require force carry, no running it up. It just wasn't that fun to play.   Judge - Really good course, some really cool holes and terrain.   Senator - Really fun open course. They call it link style, I can't remember how much you can play the ball down, but it has the aesthetic appeal.   
    • I do that at the range; I just have been going through a half-assed pre-shot routine. 😇 I just kind of waltz up to the ball and hit it. I catch myself just going through the motions of aiming. Once I started aligning my club to an intermediate target, I felt like I was aligned way open to the target but just trusted it. Like, if the club was aimed at the flag in the middle of the green, then my body was aligned left of the green or more (assuming something like a 100+ yard shot). I think I was more concerned with where my feet were lined up and not the clubface.  A question on alignment then.  So, the ball is like what, 3-FT away from the toe target line. So, does that mean if my toe line is aimed at the flag, the club is aimed 3-ft right? Does the perception of the green looking smaller in the distance impact that in terms of how we hit the shot? I feel like the geometry should work that the ball is actually aimed 3-FT right.
