Which architect co-designed Augusta National with Bobby Jones?

Alister MacKenzie co-designed Augusta National with Bobby Jones.

MacKenzie was an English golf-course architect whose medical training influenced his design philosophy. During the Boer War, he studied camouflage, and he later applied ideas about concealment, deception, and visual perspective to golf-course hazards. His layouts often rewarded strategic positioning instead of simply demanding powerful shots.

Bobby Jones encountered MacKenzie’s work in California in 1929 and was impressed by courses including Cypress Point. Jones then invited MacKenzie to help shape the Augusta project. Construction began in 1932, and the club officially opened in 1933. MacKenzie died in January 1934, shortly before the first Masters was played.

Augusta National has been modified repeatedly since its creation, so the modern course is not identical to MacKenzie’s original design. Nevertheless, its routing, strategic concepts, and many defining features trace back to the Jones–MacKenzie collaboration. Tom Fazio, Pete Dye, and Donald Ross were influential architects, but they were not the answer to this question.
