Go language is available in Raspberry Pi OS distribution and you can install it with apt install golang, but at the time of writing this article, the latest version in distribution is 2:1.11~1+b6 or 1.11.
Here I will show how to get latest stable version of golang for Raspberry Pi OS (armhf/arm32).

Requirements

• Rapsberry Pi 2/3/4

Get Go Language

Go to golang download page. Find latest or prefered version of golang. Make sure to download golang with file name like go[version].linux-armv6l.tar.gz (for RaspberryPi OS ARM32). For example go1.16.2.linux-armv6l.tar.gz, this version is for Linux OS Arch ARMv6 that works for RaspberryPi OS.

Install the Archive

• In my case, the downloaded archive located in Downloads folder, then run folowing command in directory Downloads

  1	sudo tar -C /usr/local/lib -xzf go1.16.2.linux-armv6l.tar.gz

  note : I install it in /usr/local/lib
• Here I add following line to $HOME/.profile file. (it’s easier & simple to put the line in user profile 😛)
  export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/go/bin
• Next run . ~/.profile or restart your Pi. Then check if Go language is installed with go version command.

End

Thats all I can share now, next you can use Go to start coding or install/build software.
