Augusta National

Can you not play it if you are not a member?

I would dish out $500+ for a round.

I want it setup like the Masters though, slick greens and closely mown fairways.

You can play as a guest of a member. From what I've read this is one of the toughest courses in the country to get on.

I don't think it works that way. Golf Digest did something a couple of years ago, where they sent a guy to stand out at the front gates of Augusta, trying to get in. He had a sign, offering to pay to be a "guest" of a member. Security asked him to leave. Good luck though, it would be cool to get in. I'm not holding my breath on ever getting a round in there.

I wouldn't hold my breath to get a chance to tee it up there anytime soon either. Cole, if you're dying to play an incredible course, fly to cali and dish out the $425 to play Pebble. Or the $225 to play Sawgrass. I know they may not be Augusta, but hey, that's why the place is so special. Because regular Joe's like you and me can only dream of playing there. Not trying to knock Pebble or Sawgrass, but in my mind, they're no Augusta...By the way, those green fees were ballparked, not dead on...

I have played Pebble, I loved it but it is not Augusta.

A man can only dream I guess.

I bet to become a member you have to get on a list and it is probably over $200k a year.

All I know is you've gotta get on a waiting list for practice rounds at the Master's...I'm sure the yearly dues are a good bit higher than $200K, but it's just a guess.

My bet is it's one of those things that if you have to ask how much it costs........you can't afford it!

I'm not sure it matters how much money you have, or what your handicap is. If you don't know a member or have some dirt on Hootie ......you ain't playin'!
