Try Edwin Watts shops. They also have a clearance center near International Drive. Their website is edwinwattsgolf if he wants a look.

There is a shop called Golf America on I'drive heading to Premium outlet.
For golf shirts Ross, TJ Maxx and Marshalls are usually very good. |

Hi guys you need to go to golf galaxy and the PGA superstore, both on turkey lake rd which runs parallel to I 4 and each shop is either side of sand lake . The main Edwin watts store is there as well. Would suggest you do your homework if shopping for bigger items as the exchange rate negates a lot of the value

Big golfer here, haunt all these golf shops are rarely find any bargains, in many case very little price difference and in a lot of cases a lot more expensive stateside, golfers in the US must be more well off as I've laughed at some of the prices yet they seem to be doing a great trade.
Best advice is to look online and if you see a bargain have it shipped to store for pickup, you can always not buy it if it does not suit e.g. size wise

Kayleigh I meant to message you the other day I called in at these the other day when we were over that way and have to agree there wasn't much difference compared to over here at American golf. Tell damon to check out under amour puma adidas etc all at outlets even got a top from under amour in Disney springs the last night before we came home.

Agree that prices are often more than here...
Best bargains - particularly on clubs - we've found well outside of the Orlando area down towards Naples. Now there we have found some good deals on either showroom models or slightly worn (ie. used for testing) clubs. |

Nothing much to add to what other dibbers have said , but would advise you do a shopping list of what you are looking to buy , price up in the UK(convert to dollar's) and then have your list to hand when looking.
I found to my surprise that the Golf Gloves at the Under armour shop at Disney springs where good value compared to the UK. Golf Galaxy is generally quite good for stocking up on balls , especially if you are not fussy on which brand you use they generally always have good offers on buying multiple numbers of box's. Clothing , especially if you like a particular brand , ie Adidas , Nike , Under armour , Puma, etc then either Premium outlets generally offer good value especially if you plan on buying more than one (good discounts on multibuys). Worth checking out Sketchers and Ecco outlets too as they sometimes have their golf shoes.(Ecco Golf shoes are amazing) If the exchange rate was better then clubs would offer good value especially for American manufactured brands (Ping / Callaway) ,but Mizuno , Taylormade etc are imported so are more expensive in the states. Do you have a Costco card ? They offer Callaway goods at good prices especially the Costco own brand balls which are actually Callaway chrome Hex in disguise. Happy hunting and spoil yourself your on Holiday
