Scotty Cameron GoLo 3 Putter

Mallet Putter

The GoLo 3 sits in an odd but useful spot. It's a mallet, so you get the extra stability and the confidence of a bigger head behind the ball, but Scotty Cameron built it with mid toe hang instead of the face-balanced setup most mallets use. That combination is the whole point of this putter. If you have a stroke with some arc to it and you've always been told you need a blade because of that, the GoLo 3 is Cameron telling you otherwise.

This came out in 2015 as part of the GoLo family, which slotted between the classic Newport blades and the bigger Futura mallets. The 3 is one of the more compact shapes in that group. Milled from 303 stainless steel, it has the weight and the sound Cameron putters are known for, and a single sight line down the top for alignment. Nothing fussy, no wings or shafts crossing your view. Just a clean rounded shape and one line pointing at the hole.

Eleven years later this is a used-market putter, and that's where it makes sense. You're not paying 2025 flagship money for a well-made mallet with real toe hang. For an arc putter who wants more forgiveness than a Newport gives, it's worth hunting one down.

Design

The head is a rounded mid-mallet, more pill-shaped than square, with a soft top line and a single sight dot-and-line for alignment. The body is milled from 303 stainless steel, so you get a firmer, more clicky feel than the softer German stainless in Cameron's premium lines, but it's still solid and the ball comes off with a consistent roll. The single sight line keeps the setup uncluttered, which suits players who find full alignment grids on bigger mallets distracting. What sets the GoLo 3 apart is the mid toe hang. Most mallets this size are face-balanced to fight rotation, but Cameron weighted this one so the toe sits down at roughly a 45-degree angle when you balance the shaft. That means the face wants to open and close through the stroke, which is exactly what an arc putter's hands are already doing. You get mallet stability without the fight against your natural motion.

Who It's For

• You have a slight to moderate arc in your stroke and want a mallet that works with that rotation instead of against it.
• You like the extra stability and alignment help of a mallet but find full-size Futura or Spider heads too busy behind the ball.
• You want a genuine Scotty Cameron mill quality and feel without paying current retail, and you're comfortable buying used.
• You prefer a firmer, more responsive feel off the face and a single clean sight line over a softer insert or a grid of alignment marks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Scotty Cameron GoLo 3 face-balanced or toe hang?

It has mid toe hang, which is unusual for a mallet this size. The toe drops to about 45 degrees when you balance the shaft on your finger. That makes it a fit for players with an arcing stroke rather than a straight-back-straight-through motion, which is who most face-balanced mallets are built for.

What is the GoLo 3 made of?

The head is milled from 303 stainless steel. It's a firmer, more responsive material than the softer German stainless Cameron uses in some higher-end putters, so the feel is a touch clicky but the roll is consistent and the sound is crisp.

How is the GoLo 3 different from a Scotty Cameron Newport 2?

The Newport 2 is a blade with more toe hang, built for a stronger arc. The GoLo 3 is a mallet with mid toe hang, so it gives you more forgiveness and stability on off-center hits while still working for an arc stroke. If you like the Newport feel but want a bigger, more stable head, the GoLo 3 is the natural step.

Is the GoLo 3 good for a beginner?

It can be, with a caveat. The mallet head is forgiving and the single sight line makes alignment simple. But the mid toe hang means it rewards an arcing stroke. If a beginner's stroke is straight-back-straight-through, a fully face-balanced mallet would suit them better.

Can you still buy a GoLo 3 in 2026?

Not new. It launched in 2015 and is well out of Cameron's current lineup, so you'll find it on the used market through resale sites and shops. Prices are a fraction of a new Cameron, which is the main reason to seek one out if the mid toe hang mallet setup fits your stroke.
