No. 1

(Tea Olive) 455 yards, par 4

A slight dogleg right that plays uphill and has a deep bunker requiring a 327-yard carry off the tee. The bunker has a tongue in the left side, so anything that barely enters might be blocked by the new lip. The tee has been moved back 20 yards, and trees were added on the left side.

No. 2

(Pink Dogwood) 575 yards, par 5

A dogleg left that can be reached in two by the big hitters. Fairway bunker on the right comes into play, but it's difficult to reach the slope, which shortens the hole. The green is guarded by two bunkers in front.

No. 3

(Flowering Peach) 350 yards, par 4

One of the best par 4s in golf, a hole that hasn't been changed in 26 years. Big hitters can drive near the green, but not many even try because of all the trouble surrounding the L-shaped green that slopes sharply from right to left. Most players hit iron off tee to stay short of four bunkers on the left side.

No. 4

(Crab Apple) 240 yards, par 3

Tees moved back 35 yards into the woods behind the third green last year, and tee slightly elevated. Now it's a long iron for big hitters, fairway metal for others. Deep bunker protects right side of the green, with another bunker left. Club selection remains crucial because of the deceptive wind. Green slopes to the front.

No. 5

(Magnolia) 455 yards, par 4

The hole was lengthened by 20 yards six years ago, and the fairway bunkers extended 80 yards toward the green. Bunkers are so deep that players can only see the sky. Green slopes to the front.

No. 6

(Juniper) 180 yards, par 3

An elevated tee to a large green with three tiers, with significant slopes marking the three levels. Getting close to the hole is a challenge. Easiest pin might be front left. Hole has not been changed since 1975.

No. 7

(Pampas) 450 yards, par 4

This hole literally has come a long way, from 320 yards to 450 yards. The tee recently was extended by 40 yards, and some trees were trimmed slightly on the left side. The tee shot is through a chute of Georgia pines, played to the left-center of the fairway into a slight slope. Green is surrounded by five bunkers.

No. 8

(Yellow Jasmine) 570 yards, par 5

An accurate drive is important to avoid the fairway bunker on the right side. The hole is uphill and features trouble left of the green. There are no bunkers around the green, just severe mounding.

No. 9

(Carolina Cherry) 460 yards, par 4

The tee shot should be aimed down the right side for a good angle into the green, which features two large bunkers to the left. Any approach that is short could spin some 25 yards back into the fairway.

No. 10

(Camellia) 495 yards, par 4

A long hole that can play shorter if drives catch the slope in the fairway. Difficult to save par from the bunker right of the green. The putting surface slopes from right to left. It has played as the most difficult hole in Masters history.

No. 11

(White Dogwood) 505 yards, par 4

Amen Corner starts here. The tee recently was lengthened by 15 yards, but some pine trees have been removed on the right side, although the landing area is still tight. A big tee shot - and a straight one - is required to get to the crest of the hill. A pond guards the green to the left and a bunker is to the back right. The safe shot is to bail out short and to the right in a swale.

No. 12

(Golden Bell) 155 yards, par 3

This is arguably the most famous par 3 in golf, and the shortest hole at Augusta. Club selection can range from a 6-iron to a 9-iron, but it's difficult to gauge the wind. Rae's Creek is in front of the shallow green, with two bunkers behind it and one in front.

No. 13

(Azalea) 510 yards, par 5

An accurate tee shot to the center of the fairway sets up players to go for the green. A tributary to Rae's Creek winds in front of the green, and four bunkers are behind the putting surface. From tee to green, there are about 1,600 azaleas.

No. 14

(Chinese Fir) 440 yards, par 4

The only hole on the course without a bunker. Even if the drive avoids trees on both sides of the fairway, the green has severe contours that feed the ball to the right.

No. 15

(Firethorn) 530 yards, par 5

Tee recently was moved back about 30 yards and to the left about 20 yards. A cluster of pines is starting to mature on the right side of the fairway, making it critical to be straight off the tee. The green can be reached in two with a good drive, but a pond guards the front and there is a bunker to the right.

No. 16

(Redbud) 170 yards, par 3

The hole is played entirely over water and eventually bends to the left. Two bunkers guard the right side, and the green slopes significantly from right to left. The Sunday pin typically is back and on the lower shelf, and pars from the top shelf that day are rare.

No. 17

(Nandina) 440 yards, par 4

The tee recently was extended 15 yards, making the Eisenhower Tree to the left of the fairway more prominent at 210 yards from the tee, requiring another accurate tee shot. The green is protected by two bunkers in the front.

No. 18

(Holly) 465 yards, par 4

Now among the most demanding finishing holes in golf, this uphill dogleg right is protected off the tee by two deep bunkers at the left elbow. Trees get in the way of a drive that strays to the right. A middle iron typically is required to a green that has a bunker in front and to the right.
