Wow, they made this sounds like a SUPER ball with the current price line.
NEW! Kirkland Signature Four-Piece Urethane Cover - Buy Now!
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.
The blue dye was probably fall fertilizer.
I came home with orange shoes a couple rounds back. And I don't even closely resemble Ricky!!
Anyone know what the Costco non-member price is online or if available to non-members?
They charged me like $1.50 extra as a non member.
Thanks. Interested out of curiosity, then I see the web site sold out. Figures.
Just ordered 4 more boxes,a really good ball IMO.
No more free shipping though and NOT available in our local Costco!
I wonder if they will allow pick up from local Costco at no additional shipping charge ?
If the Costco did this as all their trial run on new products, there should be limited quantity on the trial deal.
Then they'll have to re-negotiate to long term supply.
The only complain I have is the dull white color on the cover, it's not bright white as other OEM brands.
I couldn't see a difference in the color.
I actually struggled to lose these things. Out of sheer luck even the ones I hit deep in the woods were easy to find.
