Starter club set recommendations

Need a new golf club set. Haven’t played regularly in a while. Left handed. Clubs now are about 3/4 of a set as clubs have gotten lost or damaged so a fresh set would be best. Should I buy as a fresh package or separately rebuild my current set? Everything I have now needs regripping.
I could probably use a new lighter bag too. My current one is a massive tour bag. Not a necessity though.
Trying to get back into golf now that I’m out of school a few years and am starting to get interested again.
Trying to drop around $500 if that’s realistic.

For that price, Callaway does their Strata set for ~$500. That number goes up and down for varying sets because some are 14-pc, 16-pc, etc. Definitely not as good as getting fitted, but if you’re married to that price range its one of the better bets.

Getting fitted for clubs seems like something that really wouldn’t help me until I play much more consistently.
How much would fitted clubs start at?

If you aren't sure you want to play again, buy a used set of Ping Irons. Don't care which. You can find them around the 250-350 range and can get that back if you decide not to play anymore. They are also played as beginner irons and good players play them as well.
For a driver, find a used driver that is 5 years old and in good shape. They are all roughly the same, pick the one you like to look at best.
3 wood, find a used RBZ in good shape. you can have them for under 100 on ebay so if you can find one for less go for it.
Putter, again a standard ping putter is a good putter and you won't lose money as long as you didn't over pay.
Sand wedge and/or lob wedge, you can find a set of Vokey SM6 or 7 for cheap now that the SM8s are out and there is very little difference between the 7 and 8s.

This is a most excellent plan. Not sure how far OP is from Lafayette, but check out the Golfballs.com retail center if you can get by there. They always seem to have a nice selection of used clubs in stock and they’ll treat you fairly.

I would respond to OP, but Warfarer said it better than I could. Pings are forgiving, but very good clubs. Standard color is black dot, but you can find size charts that will help. Check out EBay. They are solid even back to the old Ping Eye 2 clubs. Everything else he said is all you need to know to get a really solid used starter set for a good price.

Ping is pretty much your best bet with basic, simple off the rack fitting and great overall performance and quality
