The designation as a "National" club means that Augusta National's membership is not limited to a select geographical region. It has no official special standing with the United States government or the USGA.

It was intended to be a Golf club open to only a select group of men from across the nation, and its membership has expanded to include prominent businessmen, US Presidents and other prominent politicians, wealthy elites in the Augusta, Georgia area, and others of importance.

Winners of The Masters are also admitted as "honorary members."

All members wear a green sport coat while on club grounds, which is why the winner of The Masters each year is presented with his honorary green member's jacket.
