Monterey

The Monterey arrives inside Scotty Cameron's California family, which the maker's page notes replaced the Circa 62 family when it launched in the fall of 2009. The Cameron California Monterey debuted that year with a plumbing neck setup, a French vanilla sight line, and what the maker describes as the perfect amount of offset, finished in a golden, honey-dipped hue. Golfshake described the finish as a Honey Dipped rich bronze and noted the putter was right hand only, reporting a planned availability date of November 1st 2009 while flagging that pricing was still to be confirmed.

By 2010 the California Monterey carried the same design language forward, with the maker's page repeating the plumbing neck, offset, and French vanilla sight line details, and describing the shape as familiar by design while noting subtle nuances of constant design evolution underneath. Reviewers of the era leaned into that read: jacksgolfingsolutions.com called it a putter in a class of its own, pointing to charismatic looks and tour proven pedigree, while 2ndswing.com singled out the rich bronzed appearance for reducing glare in natural light, and tipitout.com and putterzone.com both spoke favorably of its place in the lineup. Community sentiment on price was more divided, with one review noting it ran a little more expensive than other brands even as it praised the classic elegance. Specs published by the maker list a 4 degree loft, 71 degree lie, and 33, 34, 35 inch lengths, with custom lie adjustable plus or minus 2 degrees and a head built from precision milled 303 stainless steel; tipitout.com and putterzone.com both separately reported head weights of 360, 350, and 340 grams.

The line's next chapter, the Monterey 1.5, marks a more visible shift. The maker's page for that era describes an opened up pocket from heel to toe and a thinned topline, creating a sculpted head with a high-toe profile, deeper face milling for a softer feel, and a bead-blasted Sea Mist finish over the 303 stainless steel head, paired with the newly shaped Pistolero grip. The maker also notes this version replaced the Coronado model within the California line and, unlike its predecessors, was offered in both right- and left-handed setups with custom lengths for each. Across its releases, the Monterey holds to a recognizable silhouette while each generation adjusts finish, milling, and hand availability, and the record here lets those year-by-year changes speak for themselves.
