Tradition of Challenging Par Fours

2. Augusta National Golf Club
● As home of the Masters Golf Tournament,
Augusta National Golf Club has become
known for its iconic holes and challenging
course conditions.
● The 2015 Masters carried on the tradition of
difficult par four shots, which represent
serious obstacles for any player looking to
take home the green jacket.

3. Here is a look at three of
the most challenging par
fours at Augusta:

4. No. 10
● A 495-yard par four that kicks off the back
nine in style, No. 10 winds its way through a
thick corridor of majestic pine trees.
● One of the most difficult aspects of the hole
is the green, a tilted plateau that requires
extreme precision during the approach.

5. No. 11
● Eclipsing No. 10 by just 10 yards in length,
the 505-yard No. 11 stands as the longest
par four at Augusta National.
● The green is surrounded by two bunkers and
a pond, which have presented obstacles
even to some of the game’s all-time greats.

6. No. 5
● Although not quite as long as the last two
par fours, the 455-yard No. 5 features a
sharp uphill dogleg that requires perfect
placement in the left center of the fairway.
● The green itself is a two-tiered platform
sloping back-to-front, guarded by a deep
sand pit on the back left portion of the target.
