If you're in the area, definitely give them a visit, they've got a good selection and some solid deals. Worth stopping by! Great service BTW!

I felt compelled to leave this review because the insanely amazing customer service my daughter and…read moreI experienced at Pete Carlson's literally had us at hello. If you're wondering where to go for your tennis, golf or athletic gear needs, stop pondering. This is your place -- and here's why. With two hours to spare before my daughter's HS varsity tennis tryouts, I was frantically Googling where to get her a quality racket and actual legit tennis shoes. I remembered someone recommending Pete Carlson's, checked the website, saw they closed at 6pm, and we raced across town. We pull up and a man wearing a helmet, about to leave on his scooter, yells over that they actually closed at 5. It was 5:10. Any parent knows what came next: "Great, Mom! Now I have no racket or shoes for tryouts!" I pulled up the website to show him it said 6pm, fully expecting him to ride off into the sunset and tell us to come back tomorrow. Instead, he parked his scooter, took off his helmet, looked at my daughter and said, "We can't have you going to tryouts with no racket or shoes. Follow me -- let's get you what you came for." Enter Raul, the unicorn of customer service. He reopened the store for us and then proceeded to give us some of the most thorough, genuinely caring customer service I've experienced. He didn't rush us AT ALL. He took the time to help my daughter find the right racket and tennis shoes so she could walk into varsity tryouts feeling confident and prepared. And Raul apparently isn't the only one drinking the magical customer-service water over there. I had previously called with a tennis question and that employee was fantastic too. Clearly, great service is part of the culture here. What also impressed me was how much pride Raul takes in his job and how highly he spoke of the owner and the hard work that grew the business from a small area in front into the large store it is today. You could tell he genuinely cares about the business and its customers. There are plenty of big-box sporting goods stores, but this experience reminded me why supporting businesses like Pete Carlson's matters. If you want quality merchandise AND people who actually care about helping you find what you need, go to Pete Carlson's Golf & Tennis in Palm Desert -- and ask for Raul! Thank you, Raul, for setting the customer-service bar ridiculously high. We truly appreciated you going so far above and beyond!

If you want to play with better clubs that are suited to your game, see Brad. Anyway I bought a driver and set of irons 4-SW. Brad recommended 4 wedges for my game and they have been working out great. I went back this week to add a hydride and 3 wood. I love the feel of the KZG clubs. I was hitting each one a bit further then my own. My wife was with me watching the process. She is a golfer too. Brad suggested she hit a few balls with her clubs. She then hit some KZG 3 woods and hydrids. Brad gave her some valuable instruction on her swing. Here is the point of this review. At no time did Brad pressure her to buy clubs. In fact he suggested she use her current 3 wood more often and then in the future if she wanted to be fitted come back to see him. All that at no charge. Brad took at least 30 minutes out of his day for her. All I can say is Brad is a hell of a guy, an excellent player and will fit you for clubs you need. Thanks Brad!

I'm a tall golfer that has always used off-the-shelf clubs that I tried fitting to my swing but nothing compares to a set dialed in to my specs.

*Best Dick's in Town"…read more Dick's is a mega-corporate chain that's now the #1 sporting goods retailer in the U.S, with over 700 locations as of 2024. Dicks had an IPO back in 2002 and trades on the NYSE under the ticket symbol DKS. Their retail prices are standard. But also some very reasonable pricing and great discounts & sales too. I still miss Sport Chalet and Sports Authority that unfortunately filed for Bankruptcy back in 2016. I also prefer to shop local and support the Mom & Pop shops. But brick and mortar sporting goods stores have become dinosaurs...so I've grown to like Dick's. It's become one of my go-to's when I prefer to try something on or experience the product prior, opposed to online shopping. And Dick's has much better quality brands and inventory compared to Big 5. Been to this location a handful of times, and each time made a purchase. I've also ordered from their website once because the size of the item I wanted wasn't in stock. The layout here is decent but the store itself is always clean and pretty well-stocked. There's usually a fair amount of store team members wandering around either stocking or tidying the sleeves & racks. A few of the Team Members here are very helpful & kind and seem to care about customer service and experiences. Reason for knocking off a star? Some of the team members here, as well as the ones at the check-out register, appear as what I call "dialing-it-in and punching a time clock" because they act as tho they don't wanna be here...and are too cool for the room. I wonder if this stems from management here...or they haven't a clue and my reason for pointing this out. Because some of Dick's Team Members need to be better Team Players or go take a seat on the bench.
