==Overview==
Augusta is generally regarded as the most revered golf course on Tour by American fans. Since the Masters is held there each year, fans watching on TV have the unique opportunity to become familiar with the course, something the other majors do not afford.

The course is well-known for its beauty as well; because the Masters is held in early spring, the flowers are in full bloom during the tournament. Each hole on the course is named after an individual flower that it has become associated with:

Unlike almost every other private or public golf course in the United States, Augusta National has apparently never been [[Golf handicap#Course rating|rated]].  During the 1990 Masters Tournament, a team of [[United States Golf Association|USGA]] raters organized by [[Golf Digest]] evaluated the course and gave it an unofficial rating of 76.2 and a slope of 148.
