What does Augusta look like at the moment?

[MarkT]

Hard to find when these were taken from but this is what Google Earth is showing for Augusta National at the moment. Needless to say things will change in
the next few weeks but pretty fascinating. Amen Corner in the bottom pic...

Expect it to be a lot, lot different. Time they have gotten it tournament ready aside from the flowers not being in bloom I bet it mysteriously greens right up

You do realise those pictures aren’t live and can be several months or years old?

Appreciate that, not sure these are too old though.

Proper goat track if its closed for half the year

Can't imagine the subs is very good value for money.....

If you’re expecting things to change by the time the event takes place, why bother showing these images?

Reminds me of my old course in 1976. Only green bits were the greens. Now that was a summer.

Just to show the contrast. Given it's the most recognisable course on the planet it takes a bit of doing to pick out each hole

I believe that these have already been discounted as being "old".

Either way it'll be perfect for the Winter Masters.

No it doesn’t. Not if you know the course like the back of you hand, like most golf fans.

James, please stop being argumentative, there will be many who haven’t seen these pictures, and it is interesting to see the contrast between these pics and the Augusta we see on the TV

BTW, I had trouble picking out all the holes ?

and they might put some sand in the bunkers!

100 percent It will look amazing for sure, they know what they are doing

 

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

Strikes me that the colours in the photos have been modified/‘photoshopped’...blue sand in the bunkers?

What sand?
They look empty to me

That’ll be the liners , don’t reckon there is a grain of sand in there

this.

I‘ve seen the same effect many times in Japan. Even if they don’t get it sorted as they mention in that link, the course is still playable. The bunkers are empty, at least they were earlier this week. i read another report in the week stating new sand on the way.

Augusta closes each year soon after The Masters and reopens in autumn. It'll be fine, although apparently it plays longer in early winter and they get cool mornings in November in the area sometimes.
