Course Overview
Augusta National Golf Club is the most famous golf course in the world — home of The Masters Tournament since 1934. Designed by Alister MacKenzie and Bobby Jones, Augusta features immaculate fairways, lightning-fast Bermuda grass greens, and perfectly placed azalea bushes. The back nine — particularly Amen Corner (holes 11-13) — is the most dramatic stretch in major championship golf.

🏌️ Signature Hole
Hole 12 — 'Golden Bell,' a par-3 of 155 yards across Rae's Creek. The most dangerous hole in major championship golf. Swirling winds in the Amen Corner bowl make club selection nearly impossible. Countless Masters champions have been undone by this hole.
⚠️ Key Challenge
Augusta rewards aggressive play off the tee (wide fairways, no rough) but demands precise distance control on approach shots. The greens are so fast and contoured that position is everything — leaving yourself below the hole is critical on nearly every hole.
