Augusta National Golf Course

Posted by Alex Turnbull, Tuesday, 14th June 2005

This is Augusta National Golf Course, site of The Masters. Our image here is of ‘Amen Corner’, at the very bottom centre is the 12th green just over Rae’s Creek. There’s a map of the course over at the official site, but bear in mind it’s the other way up from the satellite image!

And yes, we realise we missed the masters this year, but I wasn’t sure you lot could wait another 10 months!

Absolutely beautiful course. Right up there with Pebble Beach, St. Andrews, and Royal Troon on my list of ‘dream’ golf courses. Now if only I could get a tee time and afford the green fees

didn’t the guy that coined the name “Amen Corner” die recently? I saw that in TIME magazine, Canadian edition, don’t remember the name though…

Indeed, The 2005 U.S. Open, at Pinehurst Village, NC. I checked, and not all of the image is in high res.

For those that care but may not be aware, the golf course adjacent and to the south is the Augusta Country Club, a totally different and unrelated golf course from Augusta National.
