The USA Park Golf GTS-400 (Our Entry-Level Club) is built to last — and the facts prove why.
Why Quality Matters More Than Price
A park golf club is an investment in your game. The right club performs better, lasts longer, is easier on your wrists and arms, and brings far more enjoyment to every round — long after the price is forgotten.
The USA Park Golf's GTS Series are built with 100% solid hardwood, a true 3K Woven Carbon Fiber face plate, a full brass bottom plate, and a Graphite Carbon Fiber shaft. Every material was chosen for performance and durability — not to hit a low price point.
Other brands on the market use plywood or MDF heads, TPR plastic or fiberglass face composites, and basic shafts. These materials meet the minimum size and weight regulations. That is all they do.
The NAPGA sets stricter grade specifications beyond international minimums. The GTS-400, GTS-500 and EA-05 Series all carry the NAPGA Certified Sticker — cleared for all independent, municipal, and open-circuit tournament play across North America. Insist on it.
Know Your Tournament Before You Buy
Not all certifications are recognized equally across every association. Some associations permit clubs carrying a Japanese / Korean certification sticker — such as Northway Sports and Nittax — while not recognizing NAPGA-certified equipment in their sanctioned events.
The NAPGA (North American Park Golf Association) certifies clubs for all independent, municipal, and open-circuit tournaments across North America — a growing and widely accessible circuit that welcomes players of all levels and associations as well as member courses.
Before purchasing any club, confirm which tournaments you plan to enter and which certification they require. If you play open and municipal circuits, all NAPGA Clubs are fully cleared. If you play exclusively within a specific association's sanctioned events, verify their current equipment rules before buying.

Every Club Looks the Same in a Photo
Before you buy from any brand, ask these 7 questions and demand real answers:
Is the club head 100% solid hardwood block — or plywood, MDF, or alloy?
Is the face plate true 3K Woven Carbon Fiber — or TPR rubber, plastic, or fiberglass composite?
Is the carbon fiber face at least 7mm thick with a visible woven pattern?
Are the grips upgraded to protect your hands and reduce fatigue over a full round?
Is the shaft 100% carbon fiber or graphite — or something cheaper they are not listing?
Does the product description list every material — or are key details conspicuously missing?
Which tournaments do you plan to enter — and which certification do they require?
