Kirkland Signature Performance+ V3.0 Golf Balls (2 Dozen)

The Kirkland Signature Performance+ V3.0 is a three piece urethane ball from Costco, sold in two dozen boxes for about $20 a dozen.

Why it made the list

A urethane cover is what lets a ball spin and stop on the green, and it usually costs $50 or more a dozen. Costco lists the Kirkland Signature V3.0 at $39.99 for a two dozen box, so you get the same basic recipe as a tour ball for roughly a third of the price of a Pro V1.

The current ball is the V3.0, which the box calls Performance+ V3.0. It is a straightforward pick for golfers who want a urethane feel around the green but lose enough balls to care about the bill.

What it does well

Today’s Golfer lists the V3.0 as a three piece ball with a urethane cover and 338 dimples, with mid spin on long shots and high spin on short shots. Compared with earlier Kirkland balls, it has a larger core, a new mantle and cover, and a new TPU material with better scuff resistance.

Kirkland also adjusted dimple depth to tune flight height, which Today’s Golfer describes as mid-high. In practice that means a ball that launches at a normal height and grabs on pitches like a premium model.

Who it’s for

It suits mid handicaps who want greenside spin, golfers who lose a lot of balls on tight courses, and anyone already shopping at Costco. Players who want urethane for practice rounds and a premium brand for tournaments also use it this way.

Who should skip it

MyGolfSpy measured a compression of 91, which sits in the firm range. Slower swingers who want a soft feel may prefer a lower compression ball. If you are loyal to one brand’s flight or play in events where you want a specific ball, stick with what you trust.

Key specs, explained

MyGolfSpy’s Ball Lab tested the yellow V3.0 and measured an average compression of 91, with a range of 86.5 to 93.2. It found a 100% good ball rate with no defects in 36 balls and gave it an overall quality score of 84. Weight consistency rated B minus and diameter consistency rated C, the weakest category, with the lab noting the ball runs large and light for urethane. All balls stayed within USGA weight and size limits.

How it compares

The Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls (Dozen) costs $58 a dozen and gives you Titleist’s tight consistency and a known flight. The TaylorMade 2026 Tour Response Golf Balls (Dozen) costs $42.99 a dozen and adds a soft 70 compression with a cast urethane cover. Kirkland comes in at about a third of the price of the Pro V1 per ball, which is hard to beat for practice and casual rounds.

Good to know

Costco sells it only in 24 ball boxes, which come as two 12 ball boxes, and you need a Costco membership to buy. It comes in white or yellow. MyGolfSpy lists SM Global in China as the factory for the yellow ball it tested. Stock comes and goes, so buy a few boxes when you see it.

MyGolfSpy lists SM Global in China as the factory for the ball it tested. Costco does not brand it with the maker’s name.
