Brosnan Golf Club Reviews – Are They Any Good?

Brosnan Golf may not be a name that many Americans are familiar with.

But if you ever play golf in the land down under, you are more than likely to see their clubs being played.

Brosnan Golf is an Australian company that makes a wide range of golf products beyond clubs. Through the magic of the internet, you can actually buy Brosnan Golf clubs even though they are mainly sold in Australia. The big question is: should you? Are Brosnan golf clubs any good? We help you answer that question in the following brand review.

A Brief History of Brosnan Golf

Brosnan Golf was established in Australia in 1977.

For 46 years they have been making a wide array of golf gear including clubs, shoes, balls and carts. The company states that their mission is to help every golfer achieve their goals as players and to craft excellent gear for all skill-levels.

Today, the company is mostly known for making affordable golf gear that rivals the quality of major manufacturers like Titleist and Callaway.

Where Are Brosnan Clubs Made?

While we aren’t given specific information as to where Brosnan’s production plant is, we know that the company is based in a suburb of Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. So it’s possible that Brosnan golf clubs are made somewhere in Australia.

Brosnan Taipan 8 Golf Clubs Review

The Brosnan Taipan 8 is a complete golf set that includes a 460cc driver, a 3-wood, a 5-wood, a #3 hybrid, irons 4-9, a pitching wedge and a mallet-style putter.

The driver has a titanium body so it remains stable on mis-hits. For me, this yielded really tight dispersion all across the face. It isn’t the longest driver – the face also feels a bit unresponsive – but it’s accurate which is a huge boon if you’re a 20+ handicapper.

The fairway woods have deep face profiles. They yield good distance off the tee; but I did have a bit of trouble with digging off the deck. I was a bit perplexed as to why they decided to add a #3 hybrid instead of a #4 or #5. This may present some gapping issues for some players. Still, the #3 hybrid is big and very forgiving. The turf interaction felt smooth and I was even using it off the tee to send bombs down the fairway.

The irons were a good size for me: not too huge and not so small that they were completely unforgiving. They have fairly shallow cavity backs which promote acute feel around the pin. But there is plenty of sweet spot real estate in the long irons to make them easy to hit.

The putter has a good balance to it and the alignment markers make it easy to frame the ball. I was really impressed that the irons came with stock True Temper steel shafts. This is a really high-quality shaft that timparts great feel and accuracy to the irons. The woods all have graphite shafts for more speed and forgiveness. Last but not least, the Brosnan Taipan 8 golf club set comes with a premium cart bag with plenty of storage pockets.

Who is it for?

It was kind of difficult for me to decide who Brosnan was actually targeting with this set. On the one hand, the irons are workable enough for skilled players but then you have a #3 hybrid which seems to have been a choice made for beginners. And the woods seem to favor players with fast swing speeds. In the end, I would say this is a good set for mid handicappers.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Accurate irons
• True Temper steel shafts
• Oversized hybrid
• High-launching set
• Forgiving driver

Cons:

• Possible gapping issues

Overall Score: 97/100

Brosnan Eureka S8 Golf Clubs Review

The Brosnan Eureka S8 is another complete golf club set – and another one that perplexes me a bit.

You get a 463cc driver, a 3-wood, a #3 hybrid, irons 4-SW and a mallet-style putter.

The first perplexing thing is the massive 463cc driver. While this driver is exceptionally forgiving and plays long, it won’t be legal for tournament play because of its size. The aluminum 3-wood has a speed steel shaft so while it’s accurate, it doesn’t feel very fast.

Again, we see a #3 hybrid when I would think a #4 ir #5 would benefit high handicappers more. Nonetheless, the hybrid offers a lot of forgiveness from heel to toe and is easy to strike the ball off the deck.

The cavity back irons have really deep undercut cavities and wide soles. They are cast stainless steel irons so while they don’t offer the softest feel, they should last a long time. These irons produce towering launch with very little effort.

The putter looks really nice at address. It has a comfortable grip and the forward rollout isn’t delayed too much.

Who is it for?

Again, this set seems to be for multiple types of players. Overall though, I would say that the combination of forgiveness and accuracy is best for mid and high handicappers.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Easy launch
• Tight dispersion from the 3-wood
• Hybrid plays long
• Forged construction
• Driver feels fast

Cons:

• May not be legal for tournament play

Overall Score: 96/100

Brosnan Spinner Wedge Review

I really liked this wedge and think it may be the best deal from Bronson.

The Brosnan Spinner is cast from 304 stainless steel and has a nice brushed metal finish. The sole has a rounded trailing edge. The brushed finish and rounded trailing edge give this wedge a really smooth, clean feeling through the turf – even the rough.

The Brosnan Spinner also features laser-etched groove-in-grooves. The bite on this wedge is really substantial and I was able to impart all kinds of spin to stick really fast, elevated greens. The spin control was akin to wedges that sell for twice this price.

On top of all that, the Brosnan Spinner wedge comes stock with a KBS C-Taper shaft. While it would have been nice if this was a forged wedge, at $100, it is still an amazing deal.

During my testing, I was able to make clean contact with the ball from really tight lies and even from sand traps. The launch was high but easily controllable as was the spin. The Brosnan Spinner wedge comes in five different loft options (50, 52, 64, 56, 58 and 60 degrees) so you can easily blend one of these wedges into your current set.

If you’re looking for a new wedge to help you score  or one that can get you out of a tight lie easily, you need to try this wedge out.

Who is it for?

I would say that the Brosnan Spinner wedge is more for mid and low handicappers. It really shines as a scoring club when the player knows how to put spin on the ball.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Extremely acute spin control
• Good launch control
• Clean contact in any lie
• KBS stock shaft
• Great price

Cons:

• Not forged

Overall Score: 98/100

Brosnan Concept BC5 Putter Review

The Brosnan Concept BC5 Putter comes in four different head shapes.

For this round of testing, I chose the traditional mallet-style putter. I liked the feel of the face insert. It felt soft and smooth whether the putt was long or short. The rollout wasn’t delayed very much as far as I could tell thanks to the “micro-grooves.”

I also liked the black paint – it created a clean contrast with the ball and made it that much easier to frame it. The feedback isn’t crystal-clear but there is enough to inform your next putt – if you need one.

The Brosnan Concept BC5 Putter putter also comes with a well-fitting, aptly padded head cover that seems very durable. Overall I liked this putter. It isn’t the most responsive one I’ve played but there is more than enough performance in it to get the job done. It was easy for me to stick to my intended line which is pretty much all you need from a putter to actually sink putts.

Who is it for?

I can see the Brosnan Concept BC5 Putter working well for mid and high handicappers. I feel like low handicappers are going to want a more acute feel – possibly purely out of hubris. In any case, this is a good putter for many skill levels.

Pros & Cons

Pros:

• Looks cool
• Soft face insert
• Comfortable stock grip
• Good MOI
• Holds a line well

Cons:

• A but pricey

Overall Score: 97/100

Is Brosnan A Good Brand? – Final Thoughts

I was quite surprised with a lot of these clubs.

Brosnan is seen as a bargain brand and as such, as a brand that doesn’t make the highest-quality golf clubs. And while their club choice for their complete sets is a bit bewildering, they do in fact make high-quality golf clubs for almost all skill levels. I particularly liked the Spinner wedge. But overall, I feel that Brosnan makes some of the best budget-friendly clubs on the market.
