What else do you need to know about The Masters golf tournament? We’re answering the most frequently asked questions about The Masters next.

Where does the Masters Take Place?

The Masters tournament takes place in Augusta, Georgia each year. Augusta National Golf Club has hosted the tournament on its course since it started nearly nine decades ago.

Founded in 1933, Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts commissioned the Augusta National Golf Club. Bobby Jones designed the course with the help of famed golf course architect Alister “The Course Doctor” MacKenzie.

The course features the following picturesque holes:

• Hole No. 1 at Tea Olive (par 4)
• Hole No. 2 at Pink Dogwood (par 5)
• Hole No. 3 at Flowering Peach (par 4)
• Hole No. 4 at Flowering Crab Apple (par 3)
• Hole No. 5 at Magnolia (par 4)
• Hole No. 6 at Juniper (par 3)
• Hole No. 7 at Pampas (par 4)
• Hole No. 8 at Yellow Jasmine (par 5)
• Hole No. 9 at Carolina Cherry (par 4)
• Hole No. 10 at Camellia (par 4)
• Hole No. 11 at White Dogwood (par 4)
• Hole No. 12 at Golden Bell (par 3)
• Hole No. 13 at Azalea (par 5)
• Hole No. 14 at Chinese Fir (par 4)
• Hole No. 15 at Firethorn (par 5)
• Hole No. 16 at Redbud (par 3)
• Hole No. 17 at Nandina (par 4)
• Hole No. 18 at Holly (par 4)

As you can see, Bobby Jones and Alister MacKenzie named the majority of this course’s holes after botanicals. That is because the property they built the course on was a flower nursery before Jones and Roberts purchased it.

When do they Tee Off?

There will be four tee time rounds this year. Rounds 1 and 2 feature 31 groups, while Rounds 3 and 4 only have 26 groups.

Round 1’s first group will tee off at 7:30 a.m. CDT, and the last group will tee off at 1:33 p.m. CDT. Group 1 in Round 2 will tee off bright and early at 7 a.m. CDT, while the last group will tee off at 1:03 p.m. CDT.

Cameron Smith of Australia and Collin Morikawa of the US are also top picks to win the Masters in 2023.

Take a Golf Vacation Before the Masters

The Masters 2023 is still a few months away. What better way to fill your time until then than with a golfing vacation?

At The Consummate Pro, we specialize in destination vacations for golfing enthusiasts like you.

Two of our favorite destinations are the Southern Charms golf tour across Ireland and Alwoodly in Leeds, England.

The Masters’ course architect Alister MacKenzie designed the Alwoodly and many of the golf courses on the Southern Charms tour. They can give you a taste of what August National Golf Club has to offer.

Southern Charms Golf Tour

Southern Charms takes you on a golf tour of the picturesque southern Ireland coast. This all-inclusive vacation takes place over six nights and offers six rounds of golf at courses across Ireland.

In all, you will get access to 13 different golf courses on this tour, including Dooks, Tralee, Ballybunion, and Waterville. Transportation, accommodation, and a daily Irish breakfast are included.

The reason why we’d recommend this tour to any Masters tournament lovers out there is because of Cork Golf Club. Located in the southeast corner of Ireland, Cork is more than 130 years old.

Alister MacKenzie came up with this course in 1888. He situated it right behind the scenic Cork Harbour and on top of a limestone quarry. You will be hard-pressed to find a more scenic golf course in all of Ireland and even the world.

This golfing getaway costs $4,199 per person. Learn more about our Southern Charms Ireland golf tourhere and book your spot today!

Alwoodley Golf Course

The first golf course Alister MacKenzie ever designed was the Alwoodly golf course in Leeds, England. He architected this 6,914-yard course over a hundred years ago in 1907.

Often called the Original MacKenzie, Brits also consider Alwoodly the shining jewel of English gold courses. It is situated on top of Wigton Moor and features tight fairways cut into the gorse and heather landscape.

Though the course is mostly unchanged from its original MacKenzie design, Ken Moodie restored Alwoodley’s bunkers more recently. Golf course designer Clyde Johnson also recently relandscaped the course.

If you are looking for a course to play as the pros do, this is the one for you. It is extremely similar to the course at the Augusta National Golf Club.

There are striking similarities between Alwoodly’s 10th hole and Augusta’s 13th hole. Alwoodly’s 11th hole at the 176th yard (par 3) is almost identical to Augusta’s with its severe borrows.

When you are in the area, make sure to stop by Moortown. The Moortown Golf Club is also in Leeds and is yet another Alister MacKenzie design. He finished work on this golf course in 1909, only two years after Alwoodly.
