The club opened in 1933 and hosted its first Masters in 1934. In the years since it’s seen several changes, including the lengthening of holes, adding (and removing) trees, rebuilding greens and more. (Oh, and there’s also that time the course hosted cows during World War II.)
Yes, change is constant at Augusta National, even if it’s subtle change you hardly notice. In preparation for the 2022 tournament, the golf course also made minor tweaks to some golf holes, lengthening the 11th and 15th and removing trees right of the 11th fairway.
