What Would I Shoot At The Masters?

10 Handicap Golfer misses short putt on Augusta's fast greens

If you’re a solid golfer with a handicap between 5 and 15, expect to shoot somewhere between 90 and 110 at Augusta National — even under friendly conditions.

The course rating, green speed, and layout punish anything less than precision.

I’ve been to the Masters many times, and the first thing you notice is the TV doesn’t do any justice for how huge the green undulations are.

Scratch golfers might flirt with breaking 80.

Weekend warriors?

Breaking 100 would be a badge of honor.

5	86–89	99	You’ll find out fast if your short game can handle bentgrass at warp speed.
10	92–95	106	You’ll survive the tee shots — but the greens will wreck your soul.
15	98–101	113	Every hole is a double waiting to happen. You’ll feel like a beginner again.
20	104–107	120	Welcome to golf hell: bunkers, trees, 4-putts, and no forgiveness.
25	110–113	126	Total carnage. Shanks, whiffs, water balls, 5-putts — you might run out of balls.

Why Tournament Augusta Is Brutal

Normal Augusta is hard.

Masters Augusta is cruel.

Our calculator bumps the Course Rating by 2 strokes and maxes the slope rating to 155.

It also adds 7 strokes for tournament pressure — because it’s not just you, it’s you on TV with greens like glass and pin positions designed for pain.
