Korean golfers are serious equipment buyers. So some brands make clubs and putters and accessories just for the Korean market. Some of these models never reach US retailers.
Maybe you've been searching for a specific Korean golf club. You can't find it on Amazon or Golf Galaxy or even the brand's US website. There's a reason: it may only exist in Korea. Here's how to get it.
Why Korean Golf Equipment Is Different
Korea's golf culture drives demand for premium specialized equipment. Brands like Callaway and Titleist and TaylorMade and XXIO all make variants sold only in Korea. These include different colorways and limited editions. Some have custom specs tuned to Korean tour preferences that simply aren't sold anywhere else.
Some clubs also cost less in Korea. Whether you still save after the fee and shipping depends on the club. Ask us for a quote and compare it with the US price before you decide.
Golf Brands and Models Sold Only in Korea
Odyssey (Callaway Korea)
Callaway's Korean division releases Odyssey putter models that aren't available through US channels. One example is the TRTL series, including the TRTL DB that our first customers ordered. When we checked in July 2026 it was not sold through US channels.

XXIO is a Japanese brand that is very popular in Korea. Korean golf shops carry a wide range of its irons and drivers. Some configurations are hard to find in the US.

How to Buy Korean Golf Clubs and Ship to the US
Korean golf clubs can be bought from Korean golf retailers. These include Golfzon Market and Naver Shopping and official brand sites (like kr.callawaygolf.com). Physical Korean pro shops sell them too. Most of them do not ship to US addresses.
The solution: a Korean buying agent that buys it for you.
Search Golfzon Market (golfzon.com) or Naver Shopping or the brand's Korean website. Note the exact model and spec (loft · shaft · hand · length) and the price in KRW.
Share the product link. A concierge buys it in Korea using a Korean payment method and ships it to your US address. No Korean credit card needed on your end.
The concierge calculates item cost + service fee + international shipping. Golf club shafts are long (~45 inches) so dimensional weight applies. Factor this into the total.
Once you confirm the concierge buys and ships. From your order to your US door usually takes 3 to 5 business days. FedEx covers the trip from Korea.
KorExBridge charges a 15% service fee (minimum $8) on Korean golf equipment. It drops to 10% from $300 and 8% from $500. Domestic shipping is $2.50. No monthly fee. Get a quote →

FAQ
Can I import a full set of golf clubs from Korea?
Yes. A full set with a bag is a large and heavy box. So ask us for a quote first and we will price it from the packed box. US customs duty can apply at any order value since the $800 duty free exemption was suspended in August 2025. For large orders it's worth talking to a customs broker.
Are Korean golf clubs the same quality as US versions?
For major brands like Callaway and Titleist and TaylorMade the Korean market clubs meet the same manufacturing standards as US versions. They're just different models or colorways. Brands popular in Korea like PRGR have their own loyal following among serious golfers.
How do I know if a club is sold only in Korea?
Search the model name on the brand's US website. If it doesn't appear or Google only shows Korean retailers it's likely a model sold only in Korea. You can also ask us and we'll check for you.
What if the club arrives damaged?
KorExBridge inspects and photographs all items before international shipping. We use appropriate packaging for long/fragile items. FedEx shipments include standard carrier liability coverage.
Do I need to pay Korean VAT?
When a concierge service buys on your behalf Korean VAT (10%) is included in the purchase price. That is the same as any Korean buyer pays. There's no additional Korean tax to worry about.
