OP - Im sorry this happened. Yes, there is crime everywhere even in the bubble. You have gotten some good advice - those individual clubs can be replaced, so the set isnt useless. They probably dont rise to your deductible limits on your homeowners policy, so insurance isnt going to help. File a report, check the sales. Move on after learning a valuable lesson.
Im frankly amazed at the dollar value of clubs sitting unsecured in the backs of carts all over the villages and surprised there isnt more theft.

There are 3 values of the clubs here. The highest is the NEW retail price - that's what a person would have to pay to replace them from a golf equipment dealer. Then there is the used price which is probably only 40% of NEW - for something like selling them on eBay. Then there is the price of about 10% of NEW that a thief would get at a Pawn Shop.
........So, from the thief's point of view, there is NOT much money to be made and the RISK is high. Maybe they intend to sell it on eBay at that higher price and MAYBE (?) it would be worth the risk.
.........Maybe it was stolen by a YOUNG person that plays golf and gets a kleptomaniac thrill from stealing?
..........None of these reasons for stealing these clubs makes much sense. Just strange!
