Masters Hole-by-Hole Flyovers

Hole 1: Tea Olive

By:
The first is a slight dogleg right that plays uphill. Drives to the left may catch the trees. The hole requires a precise second shot to an undulating green. A poorly struck approach may result in a difficult two-putt.

Hole 2: Pink Dogwood

By:
No. 2 is a dogleg left which may be reachable in two. Large, deep greenside bunkers demand special attention on the second shot.

Hole 5: Magnolia

By:
An uphill, dogleg left to a sloping green. The fairway bunkers are deep and positioned to demand accuracy off the tee. To clear them requires a carry of 315 yards. The green slopes back to the front, and a rear bunker catches balls hit too long.

Hole 7: Pampas

By:
The drive on this tight hole is often played to the left-center of the fairway to set up a second shot from a level lie. From there, a short to mid-iron may be played, but it is important to avoid the three bunkers in front of the green and the two behind.

Hole 10: Camellia

By:
This long par four plays steeply downhill and features a nearly 60-yard-long center bunker well short of the green. It is traditionally the most difficult hole on the course.

Hole 14: Chinese Fir

By:
The primary defense on this bunkerless par four is a terraced putting surface that drops significantly from left to right. Following a well-placed drive, the second shot will usually be a middle iron.

Hole 17: Nandina

By:
The putting surface at this uphill par four offers its share of challenges, as it seems to slope off in all directions. The back-right hole location is particularly demanding. A February 2014 ice storm caused irreparable damage to most of the tree's major limbs, resulting in its removal.

Hole 18: Holly

By:
One of the most famous finishing holes in golf, this uphill dogleg right is protected by two bunkers at the left elbow of the fairway. The narrow green guarded by one bunker short-left and another hard right.
