What is the name of the 16th hole at Augusta National?

The 16th hole at Augusta National is named Redbud. It is a par-3 hole whose name follows Augusta National’s distinctive tradition of naming holes after trees or flowering plants associated with the course.

Redbud is part of Augusta’s famous closing stretch, coming after the par-5 15th, Firethorn, and before the par-4 17th, Nandina. The hole is commonly listed at about 170 yards for the Masters, although its exact playing distance can vary with tee placement and pin location. A pond in front of the green adds visual drama and makes club selection especially important.

Several nearby names are easy to mix up. Golden Bell is the 12th hole, Azalea is the 13th, and Firethorn is the 15th. Together with Redbud, these names reflect Augusta National’s botanical character, a legacy of the property’s earlier history as a plant nursery.

The 16th is also famous for its steeply sloped green, which can produce dramatic shots rolling toward the flag or, during practice rounds, balls skipping across the water. That combination of a short par-3, a demanding green and a recognizable name makes Redbud one of the most memorable holes in golf.
