Scotty Cameron Cameron & Crown GoLo 5 Putter

Mallet Putter

Scotty Cameron built the Cameron & Crown line around one idea most putter makers ignore: not everyone should be playing a 34 or 35 inch putter. The GoLo 5 from this 2016 family comes standard at 33 inches, with a heavier head and a beefier grip to keep the balance right at that shorter length. If you've been choking down on a too-long putter for years, this is the club that was actually designed for you.

The GoLo 5 itself is a compact mallet. It has the rounded, pod-like rear that the GoLo shape is known for, without the big squared-off wings you see on a full-size Phantom or Futura. Cameron uses a multi-material build here, pairing a stainless steel body with a lightweight 6061 aluminum component to pull mass low and toward the perimeter. That gives you real mallet forgiveness in a head that still looks tidy behind the ball.

With mid toe hang and a single sightline across the flange, it fits a player who releases the putter on a slight arc and wants a clear, simple aim picture. This is a forgiving mallet, but it never tries to be a face-balanced robot. It rewards a stroke that has a little natural rotation in it.

Design

The head mixes 303 stainless steel with 6061 aircraft-grade aluminum, a combination Cameron uses to save weight in the wrong places and add it in the right ones. The lighter aluminum section lets the design push mass to the heel and toe and down low, which raises stability on off-center hits without bloating the footprint. The shape reads as a mid-mallet: rounded rear, clean topline, one sightline running back from the face for alignment. What sets this model apart from a standard Scotty is the whole Cameron & Crown package it belongs to. The 33 inch standard length is matched to a heavier head so the putter doesn't feel whippy or dead through impact, and it ships with a larger grip to quiet the hands. The mid-slant neck produces mid toe hang, so the face rotates open to closed through the stroke the way an arc putter should.

Who It's For

• Players who are 5'8 or shorter, or anyone who has always felt a standard-length putter was too long for a comfortable setup.
• Golfers with a slight-arc stroke, since the mid toe hang matches a face that opens and closes rather than staying square.
• Someone who wants mallet forgiveness and a single clean sightline but dislikes the size of a full winged mallet.
• Buyers who care about Scotty Cameron milling and feel and are willing to pay for a putter fit to a shorter length out of the box.

Technology

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is the Cameron & Crown GoLo 5 only 33 inches?

The Cameron & Crown line was built specifically for shorter putter lengths. Instead of selling a standard 34 or 35 inch putter and telling you to cut it down, Cameron designed the head weight, grip, and balance around a 33 inch length so the putter still feels right and swings with the correct tempo. It's a fit solution, not a trimmed-down leftover.

What kind of stroke suits the GoLo 5?

It has mid toe hang, so it fits a slight-arc stroke where the face opens a little on the way back and closes through impact. If you have a strong straight-back-straight-through stroke, a face-balanced mallet would be a better match. If your putter naturally wants to arc, this one works with you.

Is the GoLo 5 forgiving on mishits?

Yes, more than a blade. The multi-material build uses lightweight aluminum to move mass to the perimeter and low in the head, which keeps the face steadier on strikes off the heel or toe. It's a genuine mallet in that sense, just in a more compact rounded shape than the bigger winged models.

Does the GoLo 5 have an insert or a milled face?

It uses a milled face on the stainless steel head rather than a soft polymer insert. Expect the firm, responsive feel and crisp sound that Scotty Cameron putters are known for. If you prefer a softer, muted feel off the face, that's worth trying in person before you buy.

Can I get the Cameron & Crown GoLo 5 in a longer length?

The whole point of this line is the shorter 33 inch standard, so if you need a 34 or 35 inch putter you're better served by the regular Scotty Cameron GoLo or a current Phantom model. Buy the Cameron & Crown version if the shorter length is what you actually want.
