No.7
PAR 4
340 Yards
This played as the 16th hole in 1934 and has been the seventh since. Intended as a version of St. Andrews' 18th, it disappointed Bob Jones. "By championship standards, [it] played too short," he wrote. “The contouring of the green did not correspond with our original objective... too severe, or if you choose, too tricky." Byron Nelson, when he won in 1937, reached the green from the tee.

Clifford Roberts had Perry Maxwell reshape portions of the green in 1937 but concluded no one could truly improve it. At the suggestion of Horton Smith, a new green was built in 1938 beyond the old one, atop a hill. A club member paid for the construction, done with a tractor borrowed from the county. Maxwell was told to make the new green similar to the par-4 eighth at Pine Valley. He fronted it with three bunkers.

As if the smallest green — just 3,600 square feet — sitting half-blind 15 feet above the fairway wasn't testing enough, George Cobb added two bunkers behind the green before the 1955 Masters. Fifteen pines were also planted along the fairway. The next summer, the hillside behind the green was cleared of underbrush to create a large gallery mound.

In 1966, the bunkers had to be deepened to keep players from putting out of them. In 1994, the green was enlarged on the left for new hole locations. In 2002, a new back tee added 50 yards. Explained Tom Fazio: "Long hitters were driving it past the trees and onto the upslope, leaving them a 50-yard approach they could hit with no spin and stick it close to the hole."

In 2005, the back-right corner of the green was softened for new hole locations. Mature pine trees were planted on both sides to tighten the fairway. The Masters tee was moved back another 40 yards, into what had originally been the maintenance yard. Where golfers once walked directly off the sixth green to the seventh tee, they now turn left and walk back 80 yards.
