One of the world’s most famous and prestigious golfing destinations, Augusta National Golf Club was founded in 1933 on the site of a former plant nursery. It was designed by MacKenzie and Jones, with each of its holes named after a particular tree or shrub, and is consistently ranked as one of the top golf courses in the United States.
Follow in the footsteps of some of golf’s greatest names while visiting the Augusta National Golf Club, which hosts the Masters Tournament each April. The elegant, whitewashed clubhouse is surrounded by manicured greens and gardens blooming with azaleas, as well as meandering creeks and mirrored ponds.
See the iconic Amen Corner at the 11th, 12th and 13th holes and the Big Oak Tree that dates back to the mid-19th century. The Augusta National Golf Club is renowned for its associations with President Dwight D. Eisenhower, with a loblolly pine named after him and Ike’s Pond built at his suggestion.
