Key part supplier: Not named by Costco Wholesale Not disclosed

The listing identifies the January 2025 model-release edition; other historical balls and current markets require their own supplier records. [2]

Who owns Costco Golf Balls?

Costco Wholesale owns the Kirkland Signature private label used on the documented balls. [1] [2]

The retailer’s listing identifies Kirkland Signature as Costco’s own label, and the annual report independently establishes brand ownership. The company named as manufacturer is separate from the retailer and importer. [2] [1]

Who actually makes Costco Golf Balls products?

The product specification lists Qingdao SM Parker Golf / SM Global Korea in the manufacturer/importer field. This supports SM Parker as the physical maker and distinguishes the Korean importer, rather than treating the importer’s country as manufacture origin. [2]

Where are Costco Golf Balls products made?

China for the documented January 2025-release three-piece product. Exact street-address factory and all other models are not public in the reviewed sources. [2]

Costco Korea states China as origin and January 2025 as the model’s release month. The date is product coverage, not the page publication date. The record should remain tied to item 1819440 rather than every ball sold at Costco worldwide. [2]

Is Costco Golf Balls made in China or the USA?

China manufacture is directly documented for the selected three-piece product. The 2019 trade account also described SM Parker production in China, while identifying Nassau with the original Kirkland ball; old supplier history is not a current universal allocation. [2] [3]

Same factory, different label

The 2019 report connects SM Parker with other golf-ball programs but discusses a historical four-piece release. Shared manufacturing does not establish identical cover construction or performance, and the current three-piece retailer record should not be used as a wedge supplier record. [3] [2]

Where was your household bottle made?

A company address and a country of manufacture answer different questions. Start with your exact model.

  1. Check the package for a country-of-origin statement and lot number.
  2. Distinguish “distributed by” from an explicit manufacturer or origin statement.
  3. Contact the retailer with the exact product code and lot if the producer is not identified.
