Food & Drinks

No coolers or containers of any type in which beverages can be carried are allowed on the course.

Checkstands are located next to the parking lots at the entrance gates.Fans who bring their lunch may check them without charge.

Autographs

Autograph-seeking is allowed only on the Washington Road side of the clubhouse near the new practice facilities. The best spots to ask are along the rope lining the practice putting green and short-game area, particularly where the golfers enter and exit.

Tip: Don't bother the golfers on the course; it's prohibited. Politeness and a limited amount of items to sign work best.

Parking

Augusta National Golf Club completed its new practice facility in 2010, and most parking and pedestrian routes will be similar to last year’s Masters Tournament.

More than 8,500 free parking spaces are available in lots off Berckmans Road. There is no free parking east of Berckmans.

All patrons will enter the course at Gate 6A or Gate 9 off Berckmans Road. There is no pedestrian access from Washington Road.
