Crow’s Nest

 

As one of the longest-running traditions at the tournament, the five amateurs who make the field can sleep at the top of the clubhouse and enjoy the close proximity to golf history because the 30-by-40-foot room sits above the Champions Locker Room and the library. The Crow’s Nest consists of one room with partitions and dividers that create three cubicles with one bed each, and one cubicle with two beds. There is also a full bathroom with an additional sink. The sitting area has a game table, sofa, and chairs, telephone and television. Placed throughout the Crow’s Nest are books on golf, and lining the walls are photos and sketches depicting past Masters and other golf scenes. Jack Nicklaus, Ben Crenshaw and Tiger Woods are among the players who stayed in the Crow’s Nest as amateurs and went on to win the Masters.

The Grill Room

 

Players often get a quick bite before hitting the course, particularly during the practice rounds. And why not? From burgers grilled to perfection with thick-cut fries to the club’s signature dessert, peach cobbler, the food is always good. Read More

 

The Library

 

A bronze sculpture of Jones (A) is one of the more prominent items in the room. The annual Champions Dinner is held here the Tuesday night of Masters Week. Double doors lead to the wrap-around veranda, which offers views of the golf course.

 

Eisenhower became an Augusta National member in 1948 at the urging of Roberts, and he made 45 visits to the club.

 

 

The Trophy Room

 

This is the place to be after the tournament is over: The Masters winner traditionally has dinner with club members Sunday night. Located to the right of the clubhouse entry (golf course side), the room contains some of golf’s most unique artifacts. Read More
