Hole Name Tea Olive

From The Tee Stay slightly left of center on your drive for the best angle to the green.

From The Fairway If youre playing a longer iron or hybrid into this green, either due to being out of position off the tee or hitting into a headwind, the smart play is lay up short.

Hole 2

Hole Name Pink Dogwood

From The Tee This hole plays as one of the easiest at Augusta National, so keep your drive in play to have the opportunity. Your drive and approach shot will carry further than usual due to the elevation drop of over thirty feet tee to green.

From The Fairway The safest place to miss with your approach to this green unless the pin is back-right is on the right. Staying right avoids the big number on this hole.

On The Green Give yourself an uphill putt.

Hole 3

Hole Name Flowering Peach

From The Tee Pin location is critical to deciding strategy on this short par 4. The green is driveable at just three hundred fifty from the tips, but a front pin placement strongly suggests you lay back to be able to put spin on your approach, while a center or back pin invites the player to go for it to get as close to the green with their drive as possible.

From The Fairway There is severe slope in this green so it must be factored into your approach to have a realistic shot at making birdie

On The Green Give yourself an uphill putt.

Hole 4

Hole Name Flowering Crab Apple

From The Tee This par three is everything and more you'd ever want in a par 3. At 240 yards from the tips, even the pros have a difficult time holding the green after carrying the two bunkers in the front.

From The Fairway If you're hitting into the wind, safe and smart play is to play it as a short par four, laying up short of the bunkers and walking away with no more than four as your score.

On The Green Give yourself an uphill putt

Hole 5

Hole Name Magnolia

From The Tee A long par four. Must avoid the twenty foot deep fairway bunker to have any chance to go for the green in two.

From The Fairway Most players will score better on this hole playing it as a short par 5. A hidden bunker just over the back edge of the green lies it wait for any overaggressive plays.

Hole 8

Hole Name Yellow Jasmine

From The Tee Ideal shot shape off this tee is a left to right shot. If you decide to try to carry the bunker and get home in two, just know you'll be lucky to hit a 6 iron out of that bunker .

From The Fairway On your approach, its far better to miss or bail out to the right of this green than risk a near impossible recovery pitch or chip from the left.

On The Green The green is diabolical. A big ridge runs left to right through the center, causing many three putts for those finding themselves on the wrong half.

Hole 9

Hole Name Carolina Cherry

From The Tee The tree off in the distance is your target to this blind tee shot. You wont feel the wind from this tee so remember the direction it was blowing on eight.

From The Fairway The three tiered green has a false front. Playing for the middle of the green is the safest bet.

Hole 10

Hole Name Camelia

From The Tee This downhill par 4 provides a lot of help on your drive if you can hit the left side of the fairway.

From The Fairway The huge bunker sixty yards short of the green makes it seem like you are closer than you really are. Trust the yardage.

On The Green Leave yourself with an uphill putt short and left of the hole

Hole 11

Hole Name White Dogwood

From The Tee Welcome to the start of Amen Corner. A very narrow fairway requires a very precise tee shot to avoid trees on both sides of the fairway.

From The Fairway Miss right with your approach and the pond on the left comes into play as the green slopes sharply down towards it, thus requiring a super delicate pitch.

On The Green This is one of the very few greens without extreme undulation, but don't underestimate the back to front and left to right slopes.

Hole 12

Hole Name Golden Bell

From The Tee The green has a depth of 9 yards over the center of the green front bunker so its very easy to go long.

From The Fairway The left side of the green has slightly more depth at 16 yards. Shots missing the right edge will run back into the water

Hole 13

Hole Name Azalea

From The Tee Catch your breath after the hike up. A right to left tee shot aimed at the light colored tree is perfect. Possible to carry the trees on the left but Raes Creek runs along the left.

From The Fairway Dont get mesmorized by the spectacular beauty of this approach. The green slopes left to right so you've got to hit toward the left side of that green to stay out of the water

On The Green If your in doubt on your approach, bail out right leaving yourself with a pitch but remember that green and fringe both sloping down into the pond.

Hole Name Chinese Fir

From The Tee A right to left shaped shot fits this tee shot best.

From The Fairway The green slopes steeply from left to right and must be factored into your approach by playing a right to left approach. This is made more challenging since the fairway is sloping left to right.

On The Green THe first 20 yards of this green are a false front.

Hole 15

Hole Name Firethorn

From The Tee The fairway slopes from right to left so a shot down the right side will feed back towards the center of the fairway.

On The Green The green slopes back to front. Leave yourself an uphill putt for birdie of possible.

Hole 17

Hole Name Nandina

From The Tee The tee shot is far more forgiving without Eisenhauers tree. A well struck tee shot to the firm fairway here will leave you with a short to mid iron.

From The Fairway While you cannot see the green, over the edge of the bunker, check the distance to center and back to ensure you hit the correct club to center pin.

On The Green Over the back of the green is dead.
