Augusta National checks all the boxes on the list. It’s a stunning, beautiful course and if I could only pick one golf course to play on for the rest of my life, it would be Augusta National.
It’s one of these courses that doesn’t have that one stand out hole. The closest you can say is holes 11, 12, and 13 – Amen Corner.
As a collective whole, all eighteen holes have their unique identity. Each hole has their unique charm, and it’s a slice of perfection on each and every hole.
It’s a special place and when you think of golf one of the first images that come to mind is Augusta National.
