Augusta National Golf Club

The course

Laid out on the grounds of a former plantation nursery, Augusta National opened in 1932 from a design by Bobby Jones and Alister MacKenzie. Each hole carries the name of a flowering plant, and the closing stretch known as Amen Corner has decided generations of Masters. Membership is by invitation only, and the club opens its gates to the public just once a year for the tournament.

Signature hole: The par-3 12th, named Golden Bell, plays over Rae's Creek and forms the heart of Amen Corner.
