Masters 2016: Hole-by-hole course guide of Augusta National

First hole - Tea Olive
1 / 18

First hole - Tea Olive

Par 4  - 407 metres

A wicked hole to open the Masters. An uphill dogleg right that requires two precision shots into a deceptive green. No tournament has been won here - but many rounds have never recovered from an opening horror.

Second hole - Pink Dogwood
2 / 18

Second hole - Pink Dogwood

Par 5 - 526 metres

A good tee shot over the hill gives the player the perfect opportunity to make a round-igniting eagle. Louis Oosthuizen created history on this hole after scoring the first albatross of the tournament in 2012.

Third hole - Flowering Peach
3 / 18

Third hole - Flowering Peach

Par 4 - 320 metres

A deceptively difficult short hole. Bombers can bomb but laying back is no weak strategy - four bunkers guard the the left side of the fairway and it's better to be long than short when hitting to the green.

Fourth hole - Flowering Crab Apple
4 / 18

Fourth hole - Flowering Crab Apple

Par 3 - 219 metres

The first par 3 of the course. Players need radar-like precision with their long irons to hit this elusive green. Treacherous winds, bunkers and a back-to-front surface make this hole a real knee-knocker.

Fifth hole - Magnolia
5 / 18

Fifth hole - Magnolia

Par 4 - 416 metres

The bombers of the field are posed with a really difficult question on this hole with two, deep bunkers guarding the fairway. But the green is no gimme either, guarded by another trap at the back.

Sixth hole - Juniper
6 / 18

Sixth hole - Juniper

Par 3 - 165 metres

A slick green that is more like a mountain slope than a putting surface. Pin positions will vary throughout the tournament but the notorious, back-right is a final round speciality.

Seventh hole - Pampas
7 / 18

Seventh hole - Pampas

Par 4 - 411 metres

Though the fairway is narrow and cannot afford a loose drive, the real danger is the approach into the green. Guarded by five bunkers, any loose shot will be gobbled up by the sand.

Eighth hole - Yellow Jasmine
8 / 18

Eighth hole - Yellow Jasmine

Par 5 - 521 metres

The putting surface can be reached in two hits but a precise tee shot is needed to avoid the fairway bunker. But the green is a beast - an eagle is out there but so is a dreaded bogey.

Ninth hole - Carolina Cherry
9 / 18

Ninth hole - Carolina Cherry

Par 4 - 421 metres

A dogleg left round the corner opens up a wide fairway from which to attack the green - but all-out attack is not advised. Greg Norman found that out in his infamous round of 1996.

Tenth hole - Camellia
10 / 18

Tenth hole - Camellia

Par 4 - 453 metres

A moment that will live long in the memory of Australian sport - Adam Scott outlasted Angel Cabrera on a dark and wet tenth green to claim his and his country's first green jacket in 2013.
