What course hosts the Masters Tournament? Augusta National Golf Club hosts the Masters Tournament every year.

The course is in Augusta, Georgia, and the Masters has been played there since the tournament began in 1934. That makes it unique among men’s golf majors: the U.S. Open, Open Championship, and PGA Championship rotate among different venues, while the Masters remains tied to one course.

Augusta National was founded by golfer Bobby Jones and businessman Clifford Roberts. Jones and golf-course architect Alister MacKenzie designed the layout on the site of a former plant nursery, which helps explain the course’s plant-themed hole names, such as Magnolia, Azalea, and Flowering Peach.

Augusta National is a private club and is normally closed to the public. During Masters week, its holes, landmarks, and traditions become globally familiar, including Amen Corner, the green jacket, and the ceremonial opening tee shot. The Masters is played over 18 holes at Augusta National, with a separate nine-hole Par 3 Course also on the property.
