Augusta National Golf Club, sometimes referred to as Augusta or the National, is one of the most famous and exclusive golf clubs in the world, located in Augusta, Georgia, United States. The course was formerly a plant nursery, and each hole on the course is named after the tree or shrub with which it has become associated.

Founded by Bobby Jones and Clifford Roberts, the course was designed by Jones and Alister MacKenzie and opened for play in 1932. Since 1934, the club has played host to the annual Masters Tournament, one of the four major championships in professional golf, and the only major played each year at the same course. It was the top-ranked course in "Golf Digest's" 2009 list of America's 100 greatest courses and was the number ten-ranked course based on course architecture on "Golfweek Magazine's" 2011 list of best classic courses in the United States.
