Masters Housing

Fifty years ago, the Augusta National Golf Club and the Augusta Metro Chamber of Commerce partnered to create a trusted home rental program for patrons visiting the Masters Golf Tournament. This partnership has resulted in thousands of satisfied tournament patrons as well as local homeowners who trust Masters Housing Bureau to market and broker their homes for the benefit of visitors from around the world including some of golf's best-known players.

Homeowners and renters alike often have questions about processes, rates, insurance, and more. We have compiled a list of the most frequently asked questions by homeowners and renters here just for you.

Homeowner FAQs

  • I have never rented my home, how do I determine the rental value?
    • Every home is different, and many factors must be considered before setting your rental fee. Masters Housing is the only rental organization sanctioned by the Augusta National and we have been doing this for more than 50 years. We have created a chart which you can download here to use as a starting point. If any of your neighbors rent their homes, you might ask them for advice. You can also check listing rates for other homes on our website.
  • What do I need to do before listing my home?
    • Before you start the process, make a detailed list of the rooms in your home, sizes of rooms, bathroom information, number of TV sets, how many people can be seated for a meal, special features and amenities, etc. You’ll need high-resolution digital photos, under 4MB each, of each room/area of your home, as well as front and back exterior home shots, ready to upload. Having all the information and material at your fingertips makes the listing process easier.
  • What about my homeowner’s insurance?
    • Keep in mind your own insurance policy likely provides little or no protection when you're renting out your home on a short-term basis. Before renting your home to anyone, you should read your policy carefully. Some policies provide coverage if you rent your home only one time per year, for a single special occasion like the Masters. However, some insurers may require advance notice of such rentals or require you purchase an "endorsement" (an add-on to your homeowner’s policy) to provide more coverage for the renter. Check with your insurance company or insurance agent and specifically ask if your policy covers short-term rentals by paying guests.

Renter FAQs

  • Can I rent a home for less than a full week?
    • Most homeowners offer 3, 4-, 5- and 7-night rates. Many homes in the more sought-after areas will require a full week rental. Masters Housing Bureau works expertly on your behalf to customize your needs and identify property owners offering partial week rentals suited to the days you will be visiting.
  • Is maid service included in the rental rate?
    • Maid service may be included in the rate or provided at an additional charge. If you wish to pay for maid service, it typically runs $50-$125 per day, depending on the size of the home.
  • What are check-in and check-out times?
    • Check-in time will be arranged with the homeowner. However, please notify Masters Housing Bureau of your anticipated check-in and check-out times when you book your property. Check-out time is usually 12:00 P.M. Many homeowners are flexible in this regard.
