Olympic Golf

Great shop I thought. Staff kinda left me alone, but was helpful when I asked. Lots of golf gadgets and picked up some new shoes at a good price.

Olympic Golf has no honor.
I live in Koreatown and figured I’d run over here for Pro V1s to «shop local» and quite frankly, «not drive in the rain with Angelenos.»
Awesome! They’ve discounted the Pro V1s to $ 38.oo. take it up to the counter a few feet away and the lady charges me $ 45.oo. I tell her its priced 38, she says let me fix it,. three salesman come over and one takes the sign out right in front of me and after a bit of Korean between them says «$ 45.» Other guy with the balls and a wry smile says in English, that was a year-​end price. I protested for a bit but what retail outlet doesn’t honor their own sale signs? Its not my fault you have old signs up.
I figure its a case of a too small a sale in an over saturated market, f this guy. I’d like to think its not because I’m not Korean.
Honor your signs or its false advertisement.

This place is nothing special unless you’re specifically looking for expensive Asian brand equipment (they carry the typical American brands too). Found it strange there’s no net/​launch monitor/​hitting area to actually try the clubs out. Prices seemed to be in line with the big golf chains.

I tried to enter the store at 5:49pm. They did not even let me in, they rudely kicked me out of the store saying they were going to close in 10 minutes. They didnt even let me in the store. Rude people so of course, I would not recommend this place.

It’s a place you only go if you need something ASAP.
I live around town, so I would come here if I needed anything related to golf. However, after a few binge purchases, I realize this place can be a rip off.
I bought some plastic club holders you put in your golf bag so your clubs don’t shake around for $ 3.50 each. Big 5 had the exact same plastic pipe looking tool for under a dollar (think it was 50 cents) and no, you can not get a refund. Maybe exchanges, but they would not take my pipes back bc I ripped off the sticker price tags. (Quite understandable).
I bought a pair gloves in rush, went to the course, ripped them open, when my friend was curious to see what type of glove I bought, she mentioned. «Did you see the price on the back?» There was an actual price more than 50 percent off in the back than what Olympic charged for. (Stupid me). I posted a picture to show proof.
There were other incidents, but it’s the same story, I got jipped.
My friends say when they are on sale, their prices are reasonable… but I guarantee you that you will still find it cheaper if you shop around online or other sports stores.
This place is for older, Koreans that have no information or knowledge of Amazon or other golf websites. The only thing good about this place is that they don’t tax you if you pay cash and that it is conveniently located in Ktown with parking in back.

My wife and I came in to get christmas gifts for my parents and my aunt. When we walked in, they would be friendly and say hi to us. As soon as we said we are returning the times for gift receipt, their expressions changed. Most Koreans don’t like it when customers return the item in exchange for gift receipt. They asked us if we would like to exchange for something else and we say no, we just want gift receipt. This lady did the exchange and gave us a gift receipt. Since we bought items for my aunt and my parents, we wanted 2 separate receipt. The lady was not speaking to my wife in a good voice. She was not happy and she told my wife no, we can not make 2 gift receipt. My wife was angry and and the manager told the lady to create 2 gift receipt. She did not want to give us 2 gift receipt because she would have to make the exchange again and it felt like it was to much work for her. She did do it and gave us 2 gift receipt. When we were about to leave, my wife walked back and told the people in there that the customer service was not good and that we would not be in there again.

Summary: enthusiastic service, pretty good English, and great sale prices
I asked my parents for a new driver for Christmas. But since we won’t be in town during Christmas, we decided to take advantage of the current sale to get an early gift for me. Wahoo! We heard about this place from my golf fiend aunt and uncle, who said the prices here were the most competitive in town. There’s a private parking lot in the back.
We walked to the part of the store with club sets and wandered around for a minute or two. Then, Jimmy found us and helped us right away. We told him the kind of club we were looking for, and he pulled one out immediately. Lucky for us, it was the last women’s driver they had in stock that was eligible for the promotional sale. $ 300 discounted to $ 160? Yes. He also recommended a 3 wood, which my dad totally agreed with. Add to our cart a $ 230 club for $ 150.
The only downside was that they had a limited stock of the clubs on sale. My husband wanted to get a club, but they were out of stock. I think the sale just started, so it’s a little disappointing that they ran out so quickly, but then again, the prices were great.
Will be back to check out some putters and maybe restock on gloves and balls and tees. Really really appreciated Jimmy’s service. He was really helpful and knew his stuff. He wasn’t pushy and encouraged us to come back next time if we want to upgrade our clubs one at a time. Huge plus that his English and Korean were both fluent. He mixed it together to communicate comfortably with both my parents and me. Check this place out, if you’re looking for a good deal.

The store has its own edges, variety in inventory and competitive price, but the male sales people are rude and careless. Please give them some trainning…

A lot of great equipment. Prices reflect the market. Only issue is that it is in Korea Town and all the clothing are sized for shorter people with small feet.

I was ignored when I walked in. Guys were busy talking to each other. After ten minutes, finally approached by associate who was rude and short with me after asking just two questions about irons. Never going back.

If you have golf needs this is the place to come in Ktown. Koreans love golf. There are a lot of small stores that sell golf goods in Ktown, but this place has one of the larger selections. Sometimes when I purchase big tag items, I bring cash and see if I can negotiate better deals. ^^

First off, being Korean here is a huge advantage. I have seen non-​Koreans in the store, and they were treated extremely well, but being able to converse in Korean and just look Korean definitely helps here.
Olympic Golf has everything you need if you are looking to buy some golf gear, clubs, hats and other goodies for men, women and children. The prices are better than what you would find at most sports stores, and I was also given extra discounts on items that weren’t on sale because of my barely passable Korean. Discount give me please somehow if possible? 30% off magic right there.

So, a friend called me asking for help picking out clubs. He wanted to get back into golf and ive recently been completely addicted to golf. So i happily met him at Olympic Golf and started looking through the clubs.
They have a pretty good selection of typical brand name golf equipment and can also order customized clubs if you want. They also have a crappy hitting station outside if you want to demo one of the clubs. The good thing about this place is that you can usually bargain/​negotiate the prices and the more you buy, the more free stuff you can request.
The worker that helped us out was friendly, gave simple recommendations, wasn’t too pushy, and just seemed willing to help. Although, he probably saw the dollar signs on my friends back which probably influenced his «service».
My buddy ended up buying pretty much every single piece of equipment that had the titleist logo on it. AP2 irons, 913 driver, 913 hybrid, scotty cameron putter, vokey wedges, stand bag.
They threw in a glove, tees, and a dozen balls all for free.
Just out of curiosity, I went home and searched on tgw and ebay. Put together the same shopping cart and turns out, the price paid was very good. Definitely cheaper than either of these routes with the freebies thrown in.

So I came here a couple of times. Maybe I don’t look like a golfer, maybe I don’t look Korean… who knows. The male workers are not very friendly towards me. Then again I do see them trying really hard to impress the older folk… Maybe they look like they have much more money… who knows. Regardless, I come here because it is the closest golf store to downtown and I did get my clubs regripped here. Anyways, not the best service from the men and older women that work here (rude basically) but the girls are really nice. That’s what matters right? Price is pricey. The regripping was a good price though. $ 2 per grip. When I checked how much my $ 5 grip was they were selling it for $ 10.

If you like golf! This is the place! Clothes and equipment in a reasonable price!

If you r golfer and looking for latest clubs, it really can’t get any better than this place. biggest selection, very competitive price. By far the best place to select your set in town. I at least got 5 sets from here. most of them for my father, and most of the time, price was similar to internet price without having to risk of buying fake chinese clubs. I recommend this place.

My brother in law suggested this place so we thought we should check it.
This place has a wide variety of golfing needs and accessories. –When I say wide variety, I do not mean a Roger Dunn or Golf Smith, but Olympic Golf carries an inventory of eclectic pieces. Every time we leave, we leave with a few J. Lindeberg pieces (typically saving anywhere from 20−50%). Yes, it was disheartening to see that the exact same belt I purchased was –20% off MSRP… sigh, sigh, sigh. You’ve got your typical sports brands there as well as Polo, Bobby Jones, and Lacoste.
There is a wide variety of golf clubs and equipment (and even a Yoda head cover). Don’t be alarmed if you find that there is a communication barrier… the team members may not be fluent in English, but they are very helpful.
Happy Shopping!

If you’re Korean, you’ve probably been here or heard about this place. Most Koreans I know shop here for their golf supplies because of their wide selection of items.
It’s a big store with golf clubs that go up to thousands of dollars (i.e. the Hello Kitty bedazzled one. I’d totally buy it if I golfed. or I if I ever wanted to pull an Elin Woods. If you’re going to smash your husband’s car in, do it in style with a HK golf club!) They also have balls, bags, clothes, etc. Whatever you need for your golf needs!
The bf loves golf so every time I want to get him clubs, this is where I go. Most people don’t go to Korean stores because their prices are never the same. It’ll be marked as the suggested retail price, but most people bargain and depending on your bargaining skills, you can get it for a reallllly good price or a decent price. Or if you suck at bargaining, you can pay the suggested retail. I’m Korean so naturally, my bargaining skills are good ;)
So far, I’ve only had positive experiences here and everyone has been friendly. I’m not quite sure about their used golf club selections (Roger Dunn in the Westside seems to have a good selection. The bf usually goes there for his golf needs.) but if you want new golf clubs this is the place to go. Just take a Korean person with you if you a) cannot speak Korean and b) suck at bargaining.
