Look, we get it, golf clubs can be expensive, and with so much time and effort focused on getting a properly fit driver, looking at spending close to the same amount for a fairway wood can be tough on the wallet. When you factor in the potential cost of a fitting and or other shaft and grip options you could be looking at a fairway wood that gets into the driver price range of over $500 —that’s a lot of dough! That’s why we want to help show you what you can get for your money with the best fairway woods under $50.

As much as we love new clubs and new technology, at GolfWRX we still love to find the best deals to help golfers get the most value and when it comes to clubs and in this case fairway woods. There is a lot of value in the marketplace if you know where to look, so we did the looking for you and have assembled the best fairway woods you can find for under $50.

** Note: Used club prices fluctuate and the clubs selected for this list we’re easily located in good shape for under the stated $250 price point ** 

Best fairway woods under $50

Nike Dymo

When it comes to metal woods, Nike got a notoriously bad rap for its drivers, but as far as fairways are concerned, they made some truly greats ones, including the second-generation SQ along with the next generation Dymo. The Dymo came with UST AxivCore shafts and in both traditional and round profiles. If you are looking for something off the beaten path, these are great options for under $50.

Sonartec – assorted

There was a period of time when you couldn’t look around bags on the PGA Tour without seeing a Sonartec fairway wood somewhere. These fairway woods came in a number of models with the SS-03 and the NP99 being 2 of the most popular, and they also came with what were considered some very high-end shafts at the time.

The only thing to consider is, compared to others from the same era and modern-day fairways, Sonartecs weren’t know for their forgiveness, so if its a little extra help you’re loking for, you might want to try something else.

Titleist 906F2 and F4

Titleist 906 fairways are still considered some of the most solid feeling fairway woods ever made, and they were the last hold outs in Rory McIlroy’s bag when he switched to Nike. The 906F4 was a shallower model, while the F2 had a noticeably deeper face with a more forward center of gravity for a lower ball flight and less spin. With the number of lofts and shafts available, you would be hard-pressed to find a better deal for a matching 3-wood and 5-wood under $100.

Adams F11 and F11 titanium

Almost any list that highlights the great value in the used club market will eventually have an Adams club on it, and when it comes to fairway woods, I could have selected close to half a dozen models – but the F11 stands out. The Adams Speedline F11 came in both a steel and premium titanium model and with Maxtrix shafts. They had a velocity slot on both the sole and crown and produced some of the fastest ball speeds on the market – period.
Finding a Titanium model under $50 is a bit harder than steel but they are out there, and seriously – where else are you going to find a titanium fairway wood for under $50?!

Tour Edge CB2

OK, so maybe finding a titanium fairway wood isn’t as hard as I made it sound, especially when you can find original Tour Edge Exotics, and Tour Edge CB2 fairways pretty easily in the $50 price range. The Tour Edge CB2 used combo brazing (still used to this day) to fuse a fast titanium face to a heavier steel body to push mass away from the face and create an easy to hit and forgiving fairway wood.

You might not have the absolute longest or most forgiving fairway wood by having one of these in your bag but when you factor in the original MSRP for all five models on this list was over $250, I think potentially giving up a few yards for a lot of money saved is just good business.
