Ship Sticks - less hassle?

Does anyone have experience with Ship Sticks to send golf clubs to a trip destination? Was it less hassle than toting through airport and checking clubs as baggage? My biggest concern is shipping to arrive at a hotel and not knowing if they would know what to do with my clubs ... or if they would know how to ship the return.

Shipped mine direct to Arcadia Bluffs last year with no issues at all, once we arrived they were unpacked and ready to toss on the cart and roll, but I usually fly with mine and have had zero issues. I would ship direct to the course and have the last course I played at ship them back to my office or home if I was gonna use them. I only consider using ship sticks when I don't have a direct flight to my destination and have to plane hop to get to where I am going.

Do you prefer hard case or soft case when checking them on a plane?

I am headed to that area at the end of July. Trying to talk the rest of the group into a Arcadia Bluffs even though it is 2.5 hour drive from Grand Rapids. As of right now we are looking at Tulleymore, Pilgrim's Run and Eagle Eye.
I have an SKB hard case that is fine in airport but it doesn't fit well in rental cars unless we end up with an SUV.

Simply awesome. Way less hassle. Shipped mine to the hombre in PCB, They handled everything. Then played camp Creek in watercolor and left them there. The guys at CC packaged it up for me and shipped it back w/ shipsticks. I highly reccomend their service and have been using it since inception with no problems at all.

If you ship it straight to the pro shop they will know what to do with it - especially if it's a nice-ish course
Just call ahead and let them know. Should be ko issues at all.

I can't justify it if I have a direct flight with no added cost for checking golf clubs, otherwise I'd definitely consider using ShipSticks directly to the course I'm playing.

I am using them in July when I head to the Orange Beach - just damn easier to ship them to Lost Key or Kiva or Penninsula and puck them up when I am ready to play.
The way my family packs, I have to go that route.

Did it last year. Agree that it's easier unless you have a direct flight. I have a soft travel bag and ended up with a broken leg on my bag. They paid for a new bag without batting an eye.
Would recommend.
