World Famous Augusta National Golf Club

Augusta National Golf Club—just saying the name brings chills.

The pristine fairways, lightning-fast greens, and the echoes of history at every turn.

It’s a course that has humbled the greatest players in the world.

But let’s get real—what would YOU shoot if given the chance to tee it up at Augusta?

Would you break 90?

100?

Or would Rae’s Creek claim yet another victim?

Put Your Game to the Test

Our Augusta National Score Calculator gives you a glimpse into your potential round at golf’s most sacred ground.

Using your Handicap Index, it predicts how you’d fare under normal conditions—and under the intense pressure of Masters tournament play.

How It Works

  1. Enter Your Handicap Index – Just plug in your number, and we’ll calculate your Course Handicap based on Augusta’s Course Rating (78.1) and Slope (137).
  2. Get Your Predicted Score – We’ll show your expected range, from your best possible round to your highest realistic score.
  3. Tournament Mode Activated – Ever wonder how you’d score if you played in the actual Masters? Our calculator accounts for tournament pressure, tougher course conditions, and those legendary Augusta nerves.

The Magic Behind the Calculator

Our calculator uses your Handicap Index to determine your Course Handicap, applying the formulas used by the USGA.

But what does that all mean?

Handicap Index: This is your golfing fingerprint, an average of your best scores, adjusted for the difficulty of the courses you’ve played.

It’s a number that levels the playing field, allowing golfers of different abilities to compete fairly.

Course Handicap: This number adjusts your Handicap Index for the specific difficulty of a course, allowing you to determine the number of strokes you get on any given course.

For  Augusta National Golf Club, with its Course Rating of 78.1 (the score a scratch golfer should shoot) and Slope Rating of 137 (how much harder the course is for bogey golfers than for scratch golfers), the Course Handicap gives us an idea of what you’d shoot there.

The Reality Check

Now, for a bit of fun — we all know that golf is unpredictable.

That’s why our calculator also gives you a “Reality Score.”

This score takes into account the jitters, the wind that just picked up, and, of course, “Amen Corner” that could make or break your round.

It also assumes Major Championship conditions and that you are playing in the Major alongside the pros. 

So we add 7 strokes for tournament pressure.

We also bump up the course rating by 2 and the slope because the course will be made more difficult when hosting a Major golf tournament.

So go ahead, give our calculator a whirl, and see how you’d fare at Augusta National Golf Club.

Whether you’re gearing up for your next round, dreaming of playing a course like Augusta National Golf Club, or just looking for a bit of fun, our calculator is a great way to engage with the game we all love.

What Would An Average Golfer Shoot At Augusta

According to the USGA an average golfer has a GHIN handicap of 14.1.

According to our Masters Score Calculator the USGA would say anywhere between 95 and 100.

Maybe at Augusta on a calm day with some friends.

But not at the Masters.

At the Masters our calculator predicts a score of 111.

I think both answers are close.

What do you think?

What Does A Scratch Golfer Shoot At Augusta?

When we plug a 0.0 into the calculator this is what we get.

A good score for a scratch golfer at Augusta would be 78 if they play to their handicap.

Again, that’s at Augusta and not necessarily in the Masters golf tournament.

I don’t think a scratch golfer would ever break 80 in the Masters and would most likely struggle to break 90.

Put even more simply, breaking 90 should be the goal of a scratch golfer.

Remember, while our calculator provides a fun estimate, nothing beats the real challenge of stepping onto the course yourself.

Have fun and share with a friend to see what they would shoot.
