After a long golf layoff I selected the crew at First Tee Golf Shop to get me back to the "First Tee" I chose the fitting service provided by David to first fit a set of Irons, then later a Driver. I was also able to have him work with my 14 year old son to get him in a great fitted starter set. The experience has been first rate. The fitting was done without any sales pressure pointed at a specific brand or price point, just what I hit the best. Golf is not a cheap sport and I feel confident that the money I spent was spent on the correct clubs for me.The store is clean, well stocked, and carries many different brands and price options. I have made a drive of over a hour each way to visit the shop. My time was well respected, appointments made and kept. I can't wait to get out on the course with my son to shoot a round with our new clubs.

My husband and I travelled over an hour to have driver fittings due to the extremely high recommendations of friends. It was totally worth it! Ray & Travis were outstanding, consummate professionals and made us feel totally relaxed about the whole process. I was incredibly nervous but Ray put me completely at ease and it was both fun and educational about my golf swing!! Can’t recommend highly enough for any club fitting with them and I suspect I will be back in the Spring for new irons ?

My 18 year old son bought a Callaway Rogue ST Max Driver from Global Golf around Christmas of 2022. He bought it Certified Pre-Owned which came with a 12 month warranty on it. The shaft broke during one of his rounds last month. They would not warranty the club because they said the break was more than 6 inches above the hosel. We sent a picture of the clubhead next to a ruler clearly showing it was in fact less that 6 inches above hosel. They denied it once again. Luckily for us a local golf club fitting store in Goldsboro, NC, First Tee Golf Shop offered to call Callaway for us and low and behold Callaway warrantied a full shaft replacement and covered the cost of having it reshafted. Global Golf has lost two regular customers as a result and First Tee Golf Shop has gained two customers.

Drove over 1-1/2 hours for iron fitting at First Tee. I was fitted for irons by Travis. Excellent fitting. Travis took his time and was patient and never pushy. He fitted me in the Srixon ZX5. I have to say they are the best irons I have ever owned. I am hitting my irons now about 7 yds more than before I went in to First Tee. After the iron fitting Travis was good enough to look at my Driver. I just got a Paradym. He watched me hit it and then switched the shaft out on it and I hit it with new shaft. I still didn't like the feel and ball flight. Travis then let me hit both Cobra and and Ping G430. Ping G430 hit great. Travis took trade in on the Callaway and I walked out with a Ping G430 that I love.I am eventually going back to First Tee to be fitted for both 3 wood and 5 wood. These guys are the best if you are a serious golfer who wants to get better or just a beginner and want a head start on being a good golfer. Proof is in my handicap. It has gone from 8 to 6.2.

First Tee Golf Shop is the place to go if in need of golf equipment. Heard about them from a friend so I decided to give them a try. I was looking for a driver and they had an available spot for a fitting (please trust me and schedule your fitting in advance). Firstly, this part is negative and I am to blame for it. He asked me about me game and where I’m struggling with drives and he zoned in on one driver, I hit, he tweaked, it felt great. I buy the driver. Great, right? Nope! I get to the range to get real life action with it and I hated it. I only hit it 10 times and knew it was awful. So, I called about a swap out and I understood I would only get store credit of 90% of original value. That makes reasonable sense to me. I rescheduled a driver fitting and we dove through the driver archives. From TaylorMade to Titleist, even to a Srixon. They made me feel comfortable and they took the time to make sure it was the right fit. I’ve played 8 rounds now and the tee box isn’t a problem anymore. These guys care and are here to help. There is a reason why when you walk in the store you see all the awards they have earned for being a top fitter. They deserved every one of them. Thank you for the service you provide and standing by it.

Had my first professional fitting with Ray in Goldsboro, NC at First Tee and let me just say, it was fantastic, even though my golf swing was horrible today.Ray took the time to go through options I had in mind and took into account my feelings on the shots all while helping get the numbers right on the sim, as well as loft and lie. My swing was off for the good part of the day but Ray even took the time to take me out to a range to hit off grass. This helped immensely for me as apparently I have trouble hitting off of mats, and helped me dial in my new set, 5-GW Srixon ZX4 MK2 coupled with a 56 SM9. I'd highly recommend this shop to anyone looking to purchase a new set as I even turned around after leaving to go back and pick up a new hybrid because everyone was so kind and I had such a great experience.Ray, hoping you see this. THANK YOU!

Called on a whim to ask about regripping a club. They answered my questions and told me to stop by. I walked in 5 minutes later and to my surprise they told me to hang tight and they would take care of it. Less than 10 minutes later I’m walking out with a new grip installed. Super impressed with their customer service and will be back.

Just got fitted for a set of Ping irons yesterday. I had a 2pm appointment. They took me back at 145 and spent well over an hour and a half with me. Ray (the owner) took measurements, looked at me hit my old clubs, and analyzed my swing using different lies and shaft lengths until he maximized my swing. He even helped me with a couple of swing issues while fitting me. They gave me a great trade in value for my Calloway Rogue X irons, and ordered my custom set of Ping G710 irons and a new driver. I couldn’t be more pleased with the treatment I received from Ray and the entire staff. If you are looking for new clubs, I HIGHLY recommend First Tee Golf Shop.

I had a club fitting with Ray, Wow. Ray's knowledge of the game is amazing. I had been out of golf for a couple of years and was recommended to go see Ray @ First Tee. He was patient with me while analyzing my swing, ball address and posture. With this information he fitted me with the club that felt most comfortable for me. Increased my distance and eliminated my nasty slice in one club fitting session. And the staff was amazing as well, definitely would recommend these guys to anyone getting into to the game or just trying to sharpen their golf skills.

Drove over an hour to get an iron fitting from Ray. He far exceeded my expectations in every category from professionalism, knowledge of the clubs, the technology used on the simulator, the fitting process and golf in general. After an hour of hitting different club/shaft combos, even some free pointers that were greatly needed, I was able to come to a pressure free decision that I felt more than confident in. I recommend anybody who wants to feel more confident in their buying decision to come here and let Ray fit you. Thanks again for the wonderful experience, I will be back!Josh

I’m getting back into golf after a break of several years and needed a driver that I felt comfortable with. On the recommendation of my son, I drove 1 1/2 hours to First Tee to be fitted. I met David, told him what I needed, and he went to work. David had me hit several shots with several drivers, analyzing and comparing all of the data. After an hour of work, I made my purchase and can’t be more happy! David was patient, VERY knowledgeable, and never pressured me in any direction. I came in with my mind made up about what I wanted, but after hitting several clubs, purchased one I hadn’t even considered, based on the information I got from our session. Thank you David for your help. I’ll make the drive again the next time I need anything golf related. You have a new customer!!

We went to First Tee Golf Shop to be custom fit for a new set of irons for an anniversary gift. Being a “Ping Man” my entire life, I thought my game (at age 65) was ready for a more forgiving club and I was ready to be fit to a different brand. After spending over an hour with me and leaving no stone unturned, Ray and I came to the conclusion, that Ping was still the best club for my game. I have full confidence that the club, shaft and lie selections we chose are spot on for me and that these clubs will serve me well for years to come! Thanks to Ray and the team at First Tee.Sincerely, Lawrence & Joan Whaley

First Tee did a fantastic job with my club fitting. Absolute top-notch customer service. I have no doubts First Tee will be my go to shop for all future club purchases.Second iron fitting. After a year of practice, I was ready to move from a game improvement iron to a players iron. I went back to First Tee where they managed improve on what I thought was an already perfect experience. Travis did an excellent job and was very knowledgeable. I will not buy a golf club from another shop. You will not find a better shop than First Tee.

Awesome experience getting fit for irons with Ray. I had an idea of what I was looking for going in and he tailored the fitting to specifically what I was looking for. Second time getting fit at First Tee and will definitely be back to get fit for other parts of my bag.
