Edwin Watts Golf

This is the only golf shop that I use in Houston. I have tried a bunch of them and the Edwin Watts staff is by far the most knowledgeable, helpful staff I have encountered. Their regrips and shaft work is excellent and their prices are very competitive. I bought my last set of clubs here and they were genuinely interested in making sure they were fitted correctly. If they do not have what you are looking for, they make an effort to find it.

On Monday ⁸⁄₁₁ I took adavantage of the PGA15 promo online for 15% off and free shipping for a push cart. I never got a confirm and waited 1one day and saw the credit card was in pending status for the sale. Called Weds ⁸⁄₁₃ and talked to Steve and explained mmy situation, he said he would check into it and call me back. Thurs ⁸⁄₁₄ called Steve back, as he never called me back, had to remind him of our conversation. all of a sudden, I was a crook trying to take advantage of a promo that had ended and they would not honor my order. They accepted my credit card, tried to charge me for the sale, cancelled my order. AND MY CARD STILL SHOWS THE SALE PENDING.
I’m not the crook here.

I broke my driver, yes I hit the ball that hard, and stopped by this place because it was close to my office. They said they could help and a few days later I had a new shaft. Its awesome. It feels and hits better than the TP shaft I originally had on my TM. Why didn’t I know about this place earlier.

Still the best golf store in town, service expectations exceeded every time i go in! they take the time to make sure you are set up optimally.

Ordered a new set of irons. Craig was more than helpful. He went above and beyond to get my new set in before my upcoming golf trip. The repair guy was great too. He regripped my clubs at a moments notice to get them ready for my trip! Thanks Dick.

Highly recommend this shop for any golfing needs! I only play with used clubs, and when my driver broke last week, I brought it in to see if they could fix it with a new shaft. Turns out I was able to buy a great used driver (Taylor Made Burner, in good condition) for only $ 50 after testing out their selection of used drivers for 45 minutes on the simulator. Then after my first round with the driver, I went back in to see about getting a new grip. Turns out I didn’t need it, I would be able to fix the problem by wiping the grip down regularly with water and a towel (because I sweat so much). During both visits, their repairs guy (sorry if that isn’t the correct term), Mr. Dick, talked me out of using his services because of what was best for me and least expensive. Thanks!

If you want real customer service from a golf store, go to Edwin Watts. They also tend to have clubs that other major retailers don’t (i.e. x-​flex clubs, most loft/​bounce wedge combinations, etc.) The salesmen are extremely professional and don’t stand over your shoulder, however, they are quick to help if needed. Classy, well-​run store.

With so many golf shops in Houston, this place some how made a niche for it’s self in knowledge and service.
Of course they cant compete with the Golf Smith, Galaxy, Empire and all the imperial intergalactic Super shops. But what EW does right is knowledge and a friendly staff. John is super on fitting and equipment (Gotta be a club ho) and the rest of the staff are always willing to help with out being intrusive.
Being this isnt the closest golf store to me, I still stop by once a month just to see if they can get me those extra few yards with the newest course conquering gear.

Now this could be dangerous, I am no Tiger Woods but I do enjoy my golf and now I have found a really decent golf store about five minutes away from my office! Uh-​oh, there goes the paycheck!
I had been to around three or four previous stores before heading, on a friends suggestion, to Edwin Watts and I was pleasantly pleased with what I found. The previous stores either fell into the category of pushy sales guys trying to make their commission and not really listening to what I am after, or, useless as hell because they sell everything from tennis racquets to bleeding swimming trunks and none of the tellers know much a bugger all about golf!
Edwin Watts was neither, I explained to the sales guy, who greeted me as soon as I entered the door but let me come to him for help as opposed to pouncing on me and telling me I needed the $ 1200 Ping irons just from watching how I held my stance as I entered the door!!! The sales guy really did know his stuff and when I explained to him I had already been on-​line and checked out what they had, I already had a good idea of what it was I wanted. Now I went in their needing everything! Irons, Driver, Woods, Bag, Shoes, Balls (no giggling at the last one) and the guy was more than accommodating. They have a VR driving range at the back which I could whack my balls against (okay you can giggle at that one) and generally I felt well taken care of without being set upon and forced to buy everything in the store because it would improve my game dramatically!
On the whole I thought everything was well priced, to be honest most stores throughout Houston will be similarly priced as it is not really individual stores that can dictate their prices. I however bought last seasons Taylor Mades’, and the stores can choose their own prices on last seasons gear and really as long as you aren’t stupidly small or big foots long lost brother then the standard sizing will fit you fine and therefore you can look at last seasons gear. Remember, this seasons gear only has about 10 months left before it will lose that grand title!
All in all I was around $ 1200 which believe me was a good deal. Happy to go back again and certainly will be very soon. They also provide lessons on the VR simulator which looked quite interesting and I think I will be checking that out soon.
