You cannot buy a round at Augusta National. It is a private club with no public green fee and no public tee times: the only people who play it are members and the guests members invite. What most people can buy is a ticket to watch the Masters, and a four-day badge for the 2026 tournament was reported at $525. To compare other clubs, see golf club membership costs.

For what it costs to belong, see our Augusta National membership cost page. The club does not publish its fees, so every membership figure on our Augusta National page is an unconfirmed estimate.

Why there is no public green fee

Augusta National is a members-only club and does not sell tee times to the public, so there is no rate card to quote. We found no published green fee for non-members, so treat any figure you see online as unconfirmed.

The ways people actually get on the course

  • As a member's guest. This is the main route. You need a member to invite you, and the club sets its own rules on guests.
  • Through the club's own events. Players at the Masters and the Augusta National Women's Amateur play the course in competition, which is not something you can buy.

We found no public program for outsiders to apply to play. Treat any offer to sell you an Augusta National tee time with caution, because the club does not sell one.

What a Masters visit costs

Masters tickets are sold directly by the club through a lottery. For 2026, press reports (Golfweek, relayed by Irish Golfer and Golf.com) put a four-day badge at $525, up from $450 in 2023 to 2025. The lottery for the following year's badges opens in June, so check masters.com for the current process and price before you plan.

Visitors can walk the grounds during the tournament, but that is not the same as playing the course. For what to wear, see the Masters dress code.

Famous courses you can actually book

If you want a famous course you can book, look at resort courses that sell tee times to the public, such as Pinehurst, Pebble Beach and Bandon Dunes. They are not cheap, so check each resort's current rates.
