Scotty Cameron Opens “Gallery” Putting Studio in Southern California
After rumors swirled about it last year, Scotty Cameron has officially opened a putting studio in Encinitas, Calif., which offers tour-style Scotty Cameron putter fittings to the public for the first time in the U.S.
The Gallery will mimic the tour-only, research and development studio in nearby San Marcos where professionals get fit for Cameron putters by Scotty and the company’s staff with latest high-speed video fitting tools.
The putter studio is located just north of San Diego and was a surf shop before undergoing a full-scale remodel to become Cameron’s first standalone retail venture. It will be “part retail space, part high-end product gallery, 100 percent fitting facility,” according to Cameron. Customers will be fit into putters just like the pros have for years with an experience that’s been anticipated by fans, collectors and Cameron himself for some time.
“Opening the Scotty Cameron Gallery is something I’ve dreamed about for a long time.” Cameron said. “I’ve always wanted to have a place open to the public where I can share things that I have created and love. But above all, the Gallery is a place where golfers can come to understand what is happening between the ball, the putter and the player – and how we get those three things to work in harmony.”
Thanks in part to the success of Cameron putters on the professionals tours, which have been used in more than 994 worldwide victories by top-ranked players such as Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Adam Scott and Rory McIlroy, Cameron putters have become some of the most sought after clubs in golf.
Above: A photo of Cameron’s limited-edition putters, which sell for high prices among collectors.
Cameron’s retail putters currently fetch prices between $299 and $399 in the U.S., but limited-edition and tour-only models often carry four-to-five figure price tags. Cameron crazies willing to dish out that kind of dough, as well as any golfer who’s been longing for the opportunity to get the Scotty Cameron studio experience, will love this opportunity.
Golfers interested in a putter fitting, which are limited and booked by appointment, can visit the Gallery website or call 760-591-9720 to schedule an appointment.

We’re proud to once again partner with 2nd Swing Golf to bring you GolfWRX Members Choice 2025! 2nd Swing has more than 150,000 new and pre-swung golf clubs available in six store locations and online. Check them out here.
What is the best driver in 2025? At GolfWRX, we take great pride in our online community and the cumulative knowledge and experience of our members. When it comes to the best driver of 2025, we want to know what our forum faithful think.
Since our founding in 2005, the bedrock of GolfWRX.com has been the community of passionate and knowledgeable golfers in our forums, and we put endless trust in the opinions of our GolfWRX members — the most knowledgeable community of golfers on the internet. No other group of golfers in the world tests golf clubs as frequently or as extensively, nor is armed with such in-depth information about the latest technology.
Below are the results of GolfWRX member voting for the 2025 best driver, along with the vote percentage for each club.
Best driver of 2025: The top 5
5. Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond: 6.02%
Callaway’s pitch: “For golfers looking for a fast, forgiving, yet workable driver, the Elyte Triple Diamond features a tour-inspired shape and is the preferred model by most Callaway tour players.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Callaway Elyte Triple Diamond here.
4. Ping G440 Max: 6.86%
Ping’s pitch: “The most forgiving G440 model, MAX has a hotter face to generate speed and distance, and a lighter overall system weight with a longer shaft (46″) for faster clubhead speed, higher launch and longer carries. The Free Hosel and Carbonfly Wrap crown save weight to create our lowest CG ever and increase forgiveness while contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Ping G440 Max here.
3. Ping G440 LST: 9.53%
Ping’s pitch: “LST is an especially good fit for faster swings, offering less spin and more control with a penetrating trajectory. A hotter face, lighter overall system weight and longer shaft (46″) deliver more speed and distance while maintaining tight dispersion.”
@phizzy30: “Not a fan of Ping drivers in general, but 440 LST takes the cake. It’s super forgiving across the face for a low spin head, looks and sounds good and the ability to make it play neutral or slightly fade biased through the hosel settings is very appealing.”

2. Titleist GT3: 16.55%
Titleist’s pitch: “The GT3 Driver offers Titleist’s boldest combination of power and personalization through adjustable performance. Dial in the CG Track to your frequent contact location to make your biggest drives even bigger while taking total control over flight and shaping.”
@mrmikeac: “I’ve been Anti-Titleist for years and years and years (outside of Vokey, of course). With that being said, HOLY BEGEEZUS the GT3 driver is an absolute NUCLEAR MONSTER! This thing blew my G430 10K Max out of the water in every single category. Forgiveness is the biggest thing that stands out of me, the 3 model has always been one of the less forgiving models in the past but this GT3 can take bad shot after bad shot and still end up in the fairway, I think a ton of that has to do with the adjustability, it’s actually effective. Feel and sound is perfect, that solid crack is so addicting to hear and when you hit it out the screws this thing can absolutely bomb it. Titleist, I’m sorry for doubting you. You have converted me.”
You can read what other golfers are saying about the driver in the GolfWRX forums, and see our launch piece here. Shop the Titleist GT3 here.
1. Titleist GT2: 22.91%
Titleist’s pitch: “Delivering impressive distance from any impact point, the Titleist GT2 Driver extracts maximum performance through a forgiving design. Get the stability and added confidence of a high-MOI driver without sacrificing speed.”
@DTorres: “The Titleist GT2 has proven to be the best driver of the year. Packaged in a classic profile, GT2 perfectly balances performance and forgiveness while consistently being a high performer across all categories.”

This is cool, but I’m kinda sad that they got rid of a surf shop. So few of them already…

If you can’t break 80 with your current putter, spending over $1000 isn’t going to help. Alignment is the most important thing and alignment is most influenced by the head shape, the lines configuration and ball position. i see people all the time choosing their putter the wrong way. they all try to sink the 20 foot putts on the indoor green. stand 2 feet, don’t line it up from behind, and try to roll it dead center. don’t worry about the speed. then reset and do it again. if you can repeat, you can consider that putter. if its too easy, back it up a little bit.

Always find it funny when people feel the need to judge what people spend their money on. If they can afford it, and they want it, go for it. No sweat off my back.
I think this is pretty cool for people who are into that sort of stuff. Would be an interesting place to check out.

Should I point out that Martin Kaymer uses a Ping Karsten 1959 Anser to make all his putts. List price $89. They fit it for free.
But yeah spending $3000 on a putter is really smart.

$350 just for the putter fitting lol talk about a marketing genius. Put a name brand on something and your perceived value/cost sky rockets. It would be a cool store to check out but what a rip off for just another over priced putter. Not made of any high end materials and other people are capable of reproducing cheaper. Congrats on the store. People really don’t have critical thinking skills nowadays lol.

It’s at that price because he’s been at it for such a long time and have proven on the world stage what his putters can do. He doesn’t need any marketing besides the exposure that his putter get from players. He doesn’t advertise much, so I don’t know what marketing you’re talking about. That price is relative cheap, I think, it’s only the cost of a single putter. I think it’s a very reasonable price for a really cool experience.
Negative Nelly like yourself can go and sit on it and swivel.

Just called and they are open. Going to head over this PM and take a look. Also sent in a request for fitting and am waiting for a phone call. I don’t have $5K for a tour putter but I certainly want to get fit! Will report back on what I see if I can sneak out of the office.

I’m intrigued, but I wonder if they would have the ability to do the fitting and then sell me a “stock” but to my spec scotty. I love the idea but I’m not one that has $5,000+ for a sweet tour scotty.
Scott
Jul 9, 2014 at 2:56 pm
Yes, they will fit you and then you can have one of the regular Off The Rack Scotty’s fit to those specs or if you already have one they will adjust your current stick if possible. For instance if it’s determined that your stroke is best with a lot of toe hang they can’t fix your face balanced Futura but could sell you a GoLo 3 adjusted to your loft and lie. Cost of the fitting is $350.00. Cost of the putter is in addition to that number.

Jul 9, 2014 at 12:36 pm
This is awesome! I live in the area about 5 miles from the studio and can’t wait to get fit! I have been fit for other clubs and it has helped my game tremendously. The putter is the one missing link and I am anxious to learn which Scotty will work best for me.
