Design
Model the head geometry, sightlines and proportions so the putter presents correctly at address.
The Craft
Built in a real machine shop.
Lakes Putter Co. comes from precision CNC manufacturing. That background shows up in every stage of the build — from geometry and workholding to face milling, finishing and final assembly.
Our background
Shop-floor precision shapes the product.
The process starts close to the machines, where geometry, setups and repeatability matter.
Explore the putter lineDesign intent
Made to look right from address.
Proportion, topline presentation, alignment cues, mass placement and transitions between materials are developed before cosmetic details are added.
The process
From stock to setup.
The exact sequence varies by model, material and finish, but the build follows the same disciplined path every time.
Fixture
Plan workholding and setup strategy so the head can be machined cleanly and repeatably.
Machine
Rough and finish the form through controlled CNC operations, cutting pockets, transitions and weight features.
Face mill
Machine the face pattern that becomes one of the visual and tactile signatures of the finished build.
Finish
Surface preparation, blasting, polishing, coatings and paint fill are selected to suit the material and build.
Assemble
Final shaft, grip and setup choices turn the machined head into a complete putter.
Materials
Chosen for feel, response and character.
Different Lakes models use different materials for different reasons.
304 Stainless
A clean, precise material for faces and structural components with excellent corrosion resistance and a refined machined appearance.
Copper
Used where warmth, visual richness and a softer character are part of the identity of the putter.
Aluminum
Allows weight distribution and multi-material construction choices that help create stable, distinctive mallet designs.

Every Lakes head is machined, detailed and assembled through a hands-on process that keeps the design close to the machines that make it.
