The 10th hole at Augusta National is a par 4. Named Camellia, it begins the course's back nine and is widely regarded as one of the most demanding holes in the Masters.
The hole was not always so difficult. When Augusta National opened, the hole that is now numbered 10 was the opening hole and played as a relatively straightforward par 4. In 1937, architect Perry Maxwell moved the green roughly 50 yards uphill to its present location, creating the dramatic downhill tee shot and sharply sloping fairway seen today.
That combination makes the hole play harder than its par suggests. Drives that miss the fairway can leave awkward lies, while approaches must negotiate a heavily contoured green. The 10th is sometimes confused with Augusta's par-5 holes, such as the 13th and 15th, but its official par is four.
