NEW! Kirkland Signature Four-Piece Urethane Cover - Buy Now!
You can ask your relative or family members in the States to get a couple for you, either hold on to it or ship the most economic way to Canada.
We won't be going to the B.C. area until maybe end of the year or next Spring. Normally we'll take a day trip several times a year to the B.C. Richmond, Burnaby, no plan when the next trip would be.
Thanks for the review. I am tempted, but they only come in white right now. I have not played white in three years or more. The price is great very low for what seems a darn good ball.

The Callaway balls I mentioned earlier were the HX Tour, but they were 3 pc.. Was reminded yesterday when I found one on the course. I gave it to Jake to hit on the next hole(311 yds.) and he went through the green with it!!
When scuffed, these HX Tours will have a dark yellowish/gold color under the white paint, btw.
The other Callaway ball I was thinking of is the Tour ix.......
"Description
The technologically advanced Tour ix Golf Ball featured 4-piece inertia technology and dual core construction designed to optimize distance. The ball's high-density outer core moves weight away from the center of the ball for increased moment of inertia (MOI) resulting in reduced driver spin for increased distance and accuracy. The ball's dual core construction allows for great distance off the tee while still offering spin around the green. The lower compression inner core provides low spin off the driver for great distance while the higher compression outer core provides high chip-shot spin." (circa 2010)

According to one of the reviews these are a rebranded Nassau Quattro ball: http://www.nassaugolf.co.uk/golf-balls/nassau-quattro/
From the feedback on here and the reviews on Costco's website they seem like a winner. I just ordered up 4 packs (96 balls), because at this price I expect them to either sell out quickly or the price will get raised if they're selling really well. If they're great balls then I'll be playing them for a few years until I run out. Or if I don't like them as much as my current gamer ('16 Bridgestone B330-RX which are ~$35/dz delivered) then I'll just return the unopened packs for a refund. 
I have absolutely no need for more golf balls. So, I ordered 2 dozen. FML.
Costco website said free shipping through October 21. That may be their first price increase.
The dimples look the same to me. Probably the same ball.
Real nice ball. Played with them for the first time last week. I didn't have a very good day squaring up the driver so it's hard to say how they stand up in terms of distance, but they feel good and it seemed like I got as much bite around the greens as I do with ProV1s, and didn't notice much cover wear. I was impressed.
Limit 10 per membership, that's 20 doz. and 240 golf balls.........
Don't have the courage to get lifetime supply of golf balls. Don't even have the ... to order 96 golf balls like customgolfcenter did.
Don't need any golf balls have 7 dozens in the closet and 3 pockets of a staff bag full of golf balls....... can't resist it.
Order placed, have to beat the free delivery before the 21st, although I'll stop by the local Costco almost every other week.

Lots of chatter about these balls over at WRX and THP. Here's a simulator session that someone did comparing it to a Pro V1, Pro V1x, RZN Black, Wilson Duo, and B330RX (my favorite ball). With an 8-iron the Kirkland ball had the longest carry, longest overall distance, 2nd highest ball speed, 3rd lowest sidespin, 2nd lowest backspin,

And they have nearly identical compression and cover hardness to the Pro V1, so the feel should be very close.
Wow, they made this sounds like a SUPER ball with the current price line.
customgolfcenter Can't wait for the full review from GBT. Looks like MyGolfSpy is doing some testing as well. I did order some, based off of the small amount of reviews and info out there now.
Just ordered some. Can't wait to try them
From looking at the golf ball close up, there is a visible seam line all the way around the golf ball.
Similar to the first few generation of the ProV1 I remembered.
The "hex" dimple are just the odd position filled in with the regular dimples, all makes and models have it. It's not like the Callaway with almost all of the dimples "hexed".
Raining weather here so probably won't try it out soon. The few chips on the family rug felt "sticky", very predictable, not like ProV1 having the odd extra spin when hit in the different grooves on the face.
Just got my 2doz. delivered today (took about 3 days) ,nice packaging and looks like a top shelf ball.
Says on the box "Made in Korea" ....didn't even know they made golf balls there.
Weird thing though,I can still smell the ink used on the lettering,so they must be farm fresh!
Haven't hit one yet,but I'll do so when I go to our weekly sunrise service this Sunday.
It'd really be a cool ball if your last name was Kirkland!
Played mine today in "breezy" conditions (10-15 mph) and 70* temps.
Distance off the tee is right there with my other "soft" balls I play. (Duo, Gamer Soft, Chrome). Definitely firmer tho as far as feel. (ProVish...).
Lower ballflight off the driver, but the iron shots were about normal, no ballooning.
Quite surprised around the green. Held fairly well on full shots and ran true on pitch and run shots. Had one from 85 yards that hopped and stopped to within' 2 feet.
Overall a good ball for the price. I can see these easily going in the bag with a bit more time to evaluate
Finally got a round in with the KSig. Yep....pretty much what everyone says. Just as long as my regular Pro V1s with my driver. A bit less spin with irons, which is actually better for me. A little softer feel for me as well.
The most impressive thing was the condition of the ball after 18 holes, it looked like it was just out of the box. I can't recall any ball, except maybe the Srixon Z Stars, that looked that good after a round.
Stopped at Costco on the way home and bought another box.
Funny thing during the round. I've been playing 43 years, 40 as a single digit, and I have only holed out one shot over 100 yards. However, today on #1 and #6 I hit 9 irons that ended up 3"-4" from the hole. It looked like the shot on #1 may have 180* around the hole too. That would have been a good story to hole out on hole #1 with the new ball. Been a long time since I have hit anything that close, to have it happen twice in 6 holes was wacky.

Well I previously posted that I got 4 boxes (8 dozen), but then at the last minute I changed the order 5 to get 1 box for a friend...but my order just showed up and I have 9 boxes (18 dozen, 216 balls)! I guess when I added 4 to my cart from my home PC, and then 5 from my PC at work where I then logged in and checked out, apparently the two carts merged together to make 9 boxes and I didn't notice it during checkout. Well 1 box is for a freind, so I guess I have "just" 192 balls. LOL. Looks like I'll be playing these babies for several years! I sure hope they're as good as everyone says. I guess if not, I can just take them all back to my local Costco.
Unfortunately I have to wait until an elbow injury heals up to get out and try them.

Although today was not a perfect day for golf, looking at the forecast I had went out for an 18.
After a couple of days with over 1" of rain each day, this morning was sub 50°F patchy fog in places and I had no clue what the condition of the golf course would be.
First tee, I found the tee shot in the middle of the fairway but shorter than last time I played there. The ball came off the driver's face nice. I want to say it felt like the first generation of the Penta I remembered. Fairway was soggy. When I address for my second shot, I could see water seeping out of the ground around my golf shoes, actually hit a decent second shot, A par 5 the first hole and the 3rd shot was stopped quicker than usual, Not sure if that's all golf ball because there was water in the bottom of the cup. Plus they must have applied something on the golf course with blue dye. Around the green side and on the putting surface the golf ball picked up the blue dye which colored my fingers blue..... playing partner jokingly said, don't lick the fingers, The application felt sticky.
Lost the tee ball on the second hole inside the fairway on the right side which was wet. I tried to search for the Kirkland Signature which had only seen one hole of play .... to no avail . Switched to a colored soft golf ball from where I lost the tee shot and it was also playing short. Low temperature and heavy air with soggy turf made the golf course play like 30% longer.
Switched back to the Kirkland Signature on the 3rd hole, a par 3 of 135 yards over a ravine and slightly up hill.
Pin was in the back so I hit a good 8 iron up to the pin, the golf ball stopped within a foot of the pitch mark, made birdie....... played the rest with the same golf ball, Almost lost it several times, which I had to dig it out of the buried lie in the fairway.
Off the mud and sandy turf and a couple of graveled cart path. It held up pretty good. Although the playing condition did not allow me to fully evaluate the new golf ball. I believe I would play this golf ball if the price line does not move up. Super value for what this golf ball gives.
The only complain which is the color of the cover was not bright white like other brands. Not sure if this was the result from the urethane cover or not. It is darker than other golf balls with the urethane cover. I was lucky I did not lose the second ball in play from buried in the turf and all those colorful fallen leaves from more than a thousand trees on the golf course.
Here are a couple pic. of this golf ball which went through 16 holes and sandy turf plus a couple of cart path.
