You could even recreate your own 'War on The Shore' at Kiawah Island – home of the 1991 Ryder Cup and host of the 2021 PGA Championship.

For your stay during Masters week, we'd suggest that you stay in downtown Columbia. the State Capital of South Carolina. With all the entertainment you’d expect of a major city, Columbia is the ideal location for those looking to make the most of their evenings at The Masters. Golfbreaks run a transfer service throughout the week, allowing our customers to fully enjoy the huge offerings of restaurants and bars in Columbia, safe in the knowledge that the morning’s transport is sorted.

If you'd prefer to stay in Augusta, we also can source hotels within Augusta as well as private houses, allowing us to cater for groups of all sizes, and for all durations of stay.

Whether you're based in Columbia or Augusta itself, there will be an electric buzz throughout Masters week.

Right outside the gates of Augusta National. you'll find Washington Road, which boasts a large selection of bars and restaurants full of golfing fanatics with a lively atmosphere. Head over to Hooters, where you'll find John Daly's merchandise RV where the major champion himself is based all week selling signed memorabilia. Golfbreaks favourites on Washington Road include World of Beer and Tbonz Steakhouse.

In downtown Columbia, bars and restaurants within walking distance are in abundance, with the large majority of bars having TVs so you're able to catch up on the golfing highlights.

If you're looking for an authentic Southern experience, head to Southern Belly BBQ, which offers a variety of reimagined pork sandwiches with creative toppings & sauces. The Golfbreaks Team favourites include the Blue Marlin for locally sourced seafood and Di Vino Rosso for traditional Italian, both within the heart of downtown.

Heading to the back of the 12th tee will provide you with the perfect vantage point to soak in the drama of golf’s most notorious Par 3. This spot also allows a view down to the 11th green as players navigate the treacherous right-to-left slope around the water. With attendees not able to run on the grounds of Augusta National, the annual ‘speed-walk’ out to the 12th tee box is a sight to behold, as patrons rush to place their chairs in prime position for the day.

Our other top tip is to head to the 11th tee. Usually one of the quieter spots on the course, this elevated tee shot is one of the more daunting the players will face during the week as they look to set themselves up for the challenging approach. Away from some of the larger crowds on the 12th tee box, the 11th tee provides some serenity during this incredible week.

Getting a hold of your own Masters chair is an absolute must! Not only will this be a memorable keepsake from the tournament, but it will also act as your placeholder on the course for the week. Patrons are not allowed to move the chairs of other attendees, so once you’ve placed your chair for the day – the spot is yours.

The concession stands at Augusta National are world-renowned for their affordability. Unlike the markup experienced at most sporting events, prices for Augusta’s trademark sandwiches start at just $1.50, with their famous ‘Pimento Cheese’ sandwich being a must-try.

You’ll also want to head to one of the biggest merchandise shops in all of sport. From the traditional items, such as caps and polo shirts, through to pet collars and fine crystal, there really is a memento for everybody within the merchandise shop. Our advice would be to head there early to avoid disappointment as the store can get extremely busy with stocks liable to run low later in the day. Until midday, you are able to check your shopping for free, simply pick it up on your way out of the event later in the day.
