you can take it back as GIFT.no tax at all
yes, there are many online store selling good quality clubs with low price. Or you can go to local shop and have a look at their price, you will got what is real siutable for you.
You shouldn’t have to pay for anything that you take with you from and return to the USA. To be save, pack your receipt and/or declare it when you leave if possible.
As for packing you will want to buy a travel bag or case. Most are either a hard plastic “shell” or a soft, padded fabric material. Both have advantages and disadvantages. (Hard shells are more expensive to buy and ship, as well as heavier; soft shells cost less but are more prone to rips, snags and other complications from the stress of travel.)
I’d recommend a hybrid travel case/golf bag, like this: http://search.rockbottomgolf.com/hybrid-travel.html that allows you to protect the clubs then simply remove the top and strap the bag onto your golf cart.
Whatever you opt to go with, make sure you wrap your clubheads with clothes, newspaper, foam…anything to help protect them during travel.
Enjoy your vacation!
