As far as the Augusta National Golf Club’s course itself, much of the attention at this year’s Masters will be focused on No. 13, the par 5 that was lengthened 35 yards with the addition of a new tee box. That change will force most players to tackle the hole differently, presumably with more second-shot layups after tee shots don’t skirt around the corner of the dogleg or even over the trees left of the fairway.
It will be most interesting to see how the scoring average on No. 13 changes, as historically it has ranked as the easiest hole in relation to par at the Masters.
As easy or slightly more difficult as No. 13 might be, it’s the three-hole stretch just in front of it that will catch up some contenders. Nos. 10, 11 and 12 comprise the most difficult three-hole stretch at Augusta National.
Augusta National as a whole is ranked No. 3 on Golfweek’s Best list of classic courses built before 1960 in the United States, and the Alister MacKenzie layout that opened in 1932 also ranks as the top private course in Georgia, as would be expected.
