How long is the Masters course?

Augusta National Golf Club has played home to the Masters since the 1930s. The iconic course has stood the test of time. However, the course has been lengthened significantly over the years as players hit it farther and farther.

So what is Augusta National’s length now? Here’s a complete review of the total length, and the distance of each hole at Augusta ahead of the 2026 Masters.

Augusta National distance: What you need to know

Modern pros like defending Masters champion Rory McIlroy have gained tremendous length on their historic predecessors. With equipment innovations, new swing techniques and intense fitness routines, today’s Masters participants simply bomb the ball.

Alister Mackenzie, who designed Augusta National alongside club co-founder Bobby Jones, could never have envisioned how short their prized 18 holes would become in the face of the modern game.

Largely beginning with Tiger Woods’ dominant 1997 Masters victory, for which he often hit driver-wedge into Augusta’s famed par-5s, the course has been lengthened (and lengthened again) to defend against long hitters.

Augusta National: Total length

The total length of Augusta National for the 2026 Masters will be 7,565 yards, with the first nine playing 3,775 yards and the second nine stretching to 3,790 yards. That will change slightly each day as tees are moved forward and back.

However, the course members play on a normal day is far shorter than what the pros play. If you were playing Augusta National from the members tees this year, you’d face a course closer to 6,400 yards. That’s over a thousand yards shorter than the pros will play at the Masters.

Augusta National’s longest hole (and shortest hole)

Unlike at many other tournaments, all players begin each Masters round on Augusta National’s 1st tee. But they quickly run into the longest hole they will face all day.

The par-5 2nd hole, known as Pink Dogwood, could reach 585 yards during the 2026 Masters. Even so, many pros will attempt to reach the difficult 2nd green, found at the end of a long fairway that swoops downhill and to the left, in two shots.

As for Augusta National’s shortest hole, it also happens to be the course’s most famous. That would be the par-3 12th, Golden Bell, which will play to 155 yards during this year’s Masters.

Despite its short length, the 12th is typically one of the toughest holes at the Masters thanks to the nervy tee shot over water amid swirling winds. Many Masters Sunday charges have met their ends on this hole.
