Strategy Tips

tee shot

This 505-yard par 4 demands precision off the tee as the fairway narrows dramatically from 48 yards wide at 250 yards to just 25 yards at the 200-yard mark. Position your drive in the 250-yard zone to take advantage of the wider landing area and set up the best angle for your approach.

approach

The green measures 27 yards by 40 yards (5,630 sq ft), making it a substantial target for your second shot. However, as part of Augusta's legendary Amen Corner, precision is crucial - aim for the center of this relatively large green to avoid the treacherous surrounds that have claimed many Masters dreams.

hazard warning

Bunkers positioned at 509.9 yards present a significant hazard well beyond the green on this hole. While most golfers won't reach these with their approach shots, be aware that any severely mishit shot or ricochet could find these distant sand traps, adding unnecessary strokes to your Amen Corner experience.

tee shot

With no defined landing zone from the tee (0 yards marked), this hole requires careful course management. Focus on finding the fairway anywhere within that crucial 200-250 yard range where you'll have 25-48 yards of fairway width to work with for optimal positioning.

approach

At 505 yards total length, most golfers will face a mid-to-long iron approach shot into this green. The generous 40-yard depth of the green works in your favor, but remember this is Amen Corner - where Masters tournaments are won and lost. Club selection and commitment to your shot are paramount.
