The 13th Hole at Augusta National Golf Club: This iconic dogleg left is known as "Azalea" and is a challenging par 5. The 18th Hole at Pebble Beach Golf Links: This dogleg right is a dramatic finishing hole that requires a precise shot to reach the green.
- Tea Olive. When the course opened in 1934 the nines were the reverse of what they are today, so this was the 10th hole. It was called Cherokee Rose, which is Georgia's state flower, and measured about 400 yards.
- Pink Dogwood. These red-berried trees which have pink blossoms from March to May, are on both sides of the fairway. Before it was called Pink Dogwood, the hole was named Woodbine.
- Flowering Peach. The golf course has been changed many times, by many hands, since Alister Mackenzie’s original design. But this hole design is still much as Mackenzie had envisaged and it has remained at its original length of 350 yards.
- Flowering Crab Apple. The 4th hole used to be called Palm, but now takes its name from the Flowering Crab Apple on the right side leading up to the green, which blooms from late March to early April.
Jan 11, 2024 · The 12th hole at Augusta National: This par-5 hole is another famous dogleg. The hole curves around Rae’s Creek, and it requires golfers to hit a tee shot that is long enough to reach the fairway, but not so long that it goes into the water. The 18th hole at St. Andrews: This par-4 hole is the final hole at the Old Course at St. Andrews.

Par 4: 445 Yards Getting off to a good start is vital for any golfer, let alone the best in the world. The first at Augusta is a slight dog-leg right, played uphill. Drives to the left can easily find the trees, and take care to avoid the bunker up the right as it makes the approach shot into an undulating green much harder. A precise second shot w...
Par 5: 575 Yards The difficult first hole is followed up by the rather forgiving second hole at Augusta National. It is a downhill dog-leg left par-5 that is reachable in two for most players. If you can hit the fairway off the tee your ball will be in a prime position for the approach shot. The green is well protected by two rather large deep bunk...
Par 4: 350 Yards The third is another scoring opportunity early in the round at only 350 yards. A short par 4 where many players take an iron/hybrid off the tee to put themselves in a good position for a full wedge approach shot into a tricky green. Some golfers may bypass the danger of the fairway bunkers and the longer approach shot by hitting dr...
Par 3: 240 Yards The first par 3 at Augusta National comes on Flowering Crab Apple, the beautifully named fourth hole. Coming in at 240 yards the hole is certainly one of the fiddliest on the course and to escape with a par is a job well done. Two bunkers at the front right and left guard a green that slopes from back to the front, and the hole can...
Par 4: 495 Yards Taking inspiration from the Road Hole at St. Andrews Old Course, Magnolia, the fifth hole here at Augusta National is dangerous from tee to green. Back in 2019, the tee box was moved to make the hole 40 yards longer. The extra yardage has changed the hole significantly, making the fairway bunkers which used to be hit with a 3-wood,...
Par 3: 180 Yards The second par 3 of the day is a little more straightforward. An elevated tee box stares at a large undulating green, which may be easier to land on thanks to its size, but with it sloping from back to front and a range of elevation changes understanding where to land for the pin location is key. The green has protection from a lar...
Par 4: 450 Yards With it being one of the narrowest holes on the front nine, on the seventh it’s vital that you find the fairway off the tee in order to give yourself a chance to hit the green with your approach shot. Players often aim for the left center of the fairway to play the second shot off of a flat lie. The second shot is usually played in...
Par 5: 570 Yards Off the tee on eight an accurate drive to miss the fairway bunker is key to giving yourself a chance of reaching the green in two. Depending on the wind, it’s only really the big hitters that can carry the fairway trap, and even if you clear the trap, your approach shot into the green is blind and needs to be hit with a draw to get...
Par 4: 460 Yards Finishing off the front nine up by the clubhouse, Carolina Cherry, the ninth hole is well known for its back-to-front sloping green that often gets the best of golfers in pressure moments. Tee shots are often forced down the right to open up the green on the approach shot avoiding two bunkers on the left side of the green. The bulk...
Par 4: 495 Yards Many say that The Masters starts on the back nine, and thanks to the tenth hole it certainly does. The green slopes severely from right to left and is one of the reasons this is the hardest hole in Masters history. A long par 4 that turns steeply downhill with most players aiming for the center or the left of the fairway to give th...
Apr 6, 2020 · While No. 10 is historically the most difficult hole at Augusta National, No. 11 played the hardest in 2018 -- yielding just 13 birdies and playing to a 4.40 stroke average. Bubba Watson's secret ...
