While I can't speak to these clubs specifically, Cougar made my first set of clubs and they served me well for several years.  They didn't make high-end clubs then, and from the look of their we site, they still don't.  But that hardly means they don't make a quality product for the beginner golfer.

In the end, as a beginner, your main concern is to work on your swing...make solid contact and get some consistency in the swing.  My Cougar clubs were ideally suited for that...I'd imagine yours are too.

And while none of us wants to waste money, I don't think you're in any danger there, as the current Cougar model line has a set called CGR-4, so I suspect yours was only recently replaced by these, as they've only incremented the designation by 1.

Don't forget too, in a few years, once you've decided if you love or hate the game, you can sell these on e-Bay, recover a portion of your cost, which was already low becuase you did the smart thing and bought used, then buy a set that's suited to your game as it has developed with some experience.  The harsh reality is that it takes a few seasons on the course to develop your swing, and only then can you really get a set of clubs that's truly suited to your game.  Right now you're a beginner...make solid contact and work on your mechanics.

Good luck....you should be in good shape here.

Are you sure they GCR clubs, because I can't find any info about CGR.  As far as a good beginner set, it depends on what you want to spend on them.  I wouldn't recommend spending 750-1000 dollars on a starter set, go with something cheaper, try to learn the game for a while and then invest in a better set.  You may decide you don't want to play the game and then you'll have an expensive set of clubs to try and sell.
