Getting to the at Augusta is not cheap, but fans can take some comfort in the prices of food and drink at the iconic golf course. The opening major of 2025 kicks off on Thursday and the likes of , and Bryson DeChambeau are all bidding for glory.

Play in Georgia can take up the majority of the day though, and those attending will be wary about splashing more cash on refreshments. However, the Masters famously keep their on-course prices low after ticket prices skyrocketed, with some costing as much as £1,700.

Pictures from the course and their concession stands show that fans can purchase a soft drink for as little as £1.50. That includes bottled water and cola in addition to freshly brewed iced tea and coffee.

Purchasing alcohol costs £4.50, with fans able to walk away with domestic beer, imported beer or a white wine for the same price. Another beverage, called Crow's Nest, after the famed living quarters on the course, can be bought for the same price.

Snacks such as a blueberry muffin, fresh mixed fruit and southern cheese straws are available for £1.50. Peanuts and chips (plain and BBQ flavours) cost just £1.15.

Sandwiches are also on the menu for a bargain price and £2.20 will get you either chicken salad, Masters club or ham and cheese. Egg salad or pimento cheese sandwiches cost half of that price.

The Masters can boast some of the lowest concession prices in all of professional sports at a time when soaring costs are everywhere else.

"We want the experience to not only be the best but to be affordable," former Augusta National chairman Billy Payne explained in 2007. "And we take certain things very, very seriously. Like the cost of a pimento cheese sandwich is just as important as how high the second cut (of grass) is going to be."

Fans should be warned that at least on the Augusta National Women's Amateur menu, some of previous years' favourite items are not returning.

That includes the famed pork and chicken sandwiches which were available for £2.20 last year, the £2.20 breakfast sandwich, the £1.50 chicken biscuit and £1.50 fruit cup.

Steve Salaga, an associate professor of sports management at the University of Georgia, believes that a deliberate attempt to keep fans happy at Augusta has been made with food and drink prices in mind.

"We have to remember, the total cost of event attendance includes travel and transaction costs, the cost of the ticket itself, as well as any parking, concessions and souvenirs purchased," Salaga told .

"So one way to make the overall experience more appealing to the consumer is to keep the price of these [food and drink] products low. I think the affordable pricing is an appealing aspect of the consumer experience at Augusta."
