It’s 18 acres, costs $140,000,000, and is only used about 12 days a year. Learn every detail about Augusta National’s Practice Area

Augusta National Golf Club’s Tournament Practice Facility is a premier 18-acre area designed to provide players with practice conditions that mirror the main course. Opened in 2010, the facility includes a 400-yard-long practice range with an arced tee accommodating about three dozen players, multiple target greens resembling those on the course, and a putting green maintained at the same speed as the main greens.

The facility was constructed at an estimated cost of $140 million, making it one of the most expensive practice areas ever built. Despite its extensive features, the facility is primarily used during the Masters Tournament, approximately 12 days each year.
