Fair Oaks Dicks/Golf Galaxy

howaboutme · October 31, 2020

Not sure where to put this but wanted fellow golfers in the area to know that the new combined Dicks/Golf Galaxy is pretty cool. It's your typical GG but bigger and brighter with more stuff. Most importantly, it has 5 trackman bays. 4 for club testing and 1 for instruction. Each bay that I saw had ProV's w/ the magnetic dot on them. Although there were notices to get help before using bay, as always, none were available so I just jumped in. It also has a huge putter section, more products, huge green and even premium products like Scotty's were not behind a plexi cage for testing. Overall a good upgrade from the old Fair Lakes outpost.

Hows the used section? Was hoping with the larger store and influence of 2nd Swing in Columbia, maybe theyd have a bigger stock of used stuff to pick through......

Ive never been to 2nd swing in MD just seen pictures but the used section likely cannot compare. That said the section was full with about 2 racks of drivers another 2 for fairway woods and hybrids and about 15 racks of full iron sets. I didn't see much putters about 15 to 20 perhaps. For them designated section for pre-owned, it was full.

One thing that stood out, they have tons of bags on display. Really a dream if you are in that market.

Ah nice. Yeah was hoping for at least a small uptick in the used stock at the new GG, maybe to at least resemble the Golfsmith that closed. Ill have to go check it out!
