The Hidden History of Augusta National’s 16th Hole | The Hole At | Golf Digest

Welcome to ‘THE Hole At’, where Golf Digest’s Derek Duncan, our go-to for all things golf course architecture, breaks down the hidden histories behind the most famous holes in golf. In this episode, Derek dives into the iconic par-3 16th hole at Augusta National Golf Club. While it’s now one of the most recognizable and dramatic holes at The Masters Tournament, Augusta’s 16th was not part of Alister MacKenzie and Bobby Jones’ original design. Derek traces how the hole was completely reimagined after World War II, the creation of its famous pond, and the architectural genius that makes it one of the tournament’s most exciting holes on Augusta National's famous back nine. From its remarkable redesign to legendary Sunday moments that have shaped Masters history, this is the fascinating story behind one of golf’s most famous holes.
