What U.S. state is Augusta National located in? Augusta National Golf Club is located in Georgia.

The club sits in the city of Augusta, in eastern Georgia near the South Carolina border. Its location gives the Masters a strong regional identity, even though the tournament attracts players, spectators, and television audiences from around the world.

Augusta National was established in the early 1930s by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts. The property was once a plant nursery, and many of the golf course’s holes retain botanical names from that history. The club opened for play in 1932 and began hosting the Masters in 1934.

A common mix-up is confusing Augusta, Georgia, with Augusta, Maine, or assuming that the course is in South Carolina because the city lies close to the state line. Augusta National is firmly in Georgia, and the tournament’s official location is generally given as Augusta, Georgia, United States. The course’s famous azaleas and pine trees are part of the visual identity of both the club and the Masters.
