Hole-by-hole maps, insider details and the history of change to each hole at Augusta National Golf Club for the Masters.
—
Augusta National Golf Club has famously named each hole at the home of the Masters for a plant. What’s the story?
A little history lesson: Augusta National was a plant nursery operated by the Berckmans family before it was turned into a golf course in the early 1930s, and Alphonse Berckmans helped ANGC founders Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts adorn each hole with the plant for which that hole is named. Some of the plants already were in place, but others had to planted. Our favorite is Golden Bell, aka forsythia, for which the par-3 12th was named.
If you, like us, can’t get enough of the details on Augusta National’s layout and the Masters, keep scrolling for all sorts of details such as hole names, lengths, scoring averages and rank among the 18, and how each hole has been changed over the years.
But first, the routing of the layout to help with orientation.
