Frequently Asked Questions

Is Augusta Country Club affiliated with Augusta National, and can I play it during Masters week?

No, Augusta Country Club is a completely separate, private club, though it shares a boundary with Augusta National. You'll actually get some incredible glimpses of Amen Corner from a few holes here. Playing during Masters week is incredibly difficult; the course is usually reserved for members and their guests, often hosting private events. Your best bet is to visit outside of that intense period.

What kind of challenge can I expect from Augusta Country Club's course design?

You're in for a classic Donald Ross treat here, so expect thoughtful bunkering and those signature elevated, often crowned, greens that demand precision. The course isn't overly long, but its strategic layout and subtle elevation changes will test your short game and course management. It's a true golf experience, not just a brute-force track.

As a non-member, what's the best way to secure a tee time at Augusta Country Club?

Augusta Country Club is a private, member-owned club, so public play isn't an option. Your only real path to playing is as a guest of a current member. We recommend networking within your golf circles; you never know who might have a connection to this historic gem.

Beyond Masters week, when is the ideal time to visit Augusta Country Club for the best playing conditions?

We highly recommend visiting in the spring (late March-April, post-Masters) or fall (October-November) for the most pleasant weather and pristine course conditions. You'll avoid the intense Georgia summer heat and humidity, and the course will be beautifully maintained. Plus, the fall foliage can be stunning.

Are there any particularly memorable holes or views at Augusta Country Club that stand out?

Absolutely, the back nine offers some truly special moments. You'll find yourself on holes 8, 9, and 10 with incredible, unobstructed views directly into Augusta National, particularly of Amen Corner. It's a unique perspective you won't get anywhere else, making those holes especially memorable beyond their excellent Ross design.
