World Famous Augusta National Golf Club
The magnificence of Augusta National Golf Club is unrivaled, with its pristine fairways and fabled Green Jacket lore.
Imagine the thrill as you stand on the first tee, the same ground where golf legends have carved their legacy. What would your Masters moment look like?
Our calculator offers a peek into a round at Augusta National, tailored to your handicap, whether you’re aiming for an eagle or simply trying to avoid Rae’s Creek.
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.
How It Works
- Enter Your Handicap Index: Simply type in your current Handicap Index into our calculator.
- The Prediction: Like a crystal ball, our calculator works its magic to reveal your Course Handicap and the score the USGA thinks you would shoot at Augusta National Golf Club.
- We’re going to show you your score if you shoot your handicap (this only happens 15-20% of the time), your expected high and low scores and then adjust it 3 strokes for tournament play.
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 I Shoot At Augusta National Golf Club Calculator
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.
