About Augusta National Golf Club Golf Course
Augusta National Golf Club is the world's most famous private golf club and home of The Masters Tournament — the first major of the calendar year and the only major played at the same venue every year since 1934. Co-designed by Alister MacKenzie and Bobby Jones on a former plant nursery, the course blends sweeping elevation changes, immaculate bentgrass fairways, and some of the most strategically complex greens in existence. MacKenzie's genius is visible in every contour: greens that slope away from the player, backstops that funnel approach shots into specific positions, and wide fairways that punish the wrong angle more than raw length. Amen Corner — holes 11, 12, and 13 — is golf's most pressure-loaded three-hole stretch, where tournament fortunes have been made and destroyed on a swirling, unpredictable wind. The par-3 12th across Rae's Creek is the most famous short hole in the world. Azaleas blooming along every fairway in April, the pristine white sand, and the green jacket ceremony make Augusta National as much a cultural phenomenon as a sporting event. Access is strictly members-only; playing Augusta National remains the most coveted golfing experience on earth.
