In brief: Masters Week company housing works best when the group defines its bedroom, bathroom, property-standard, entertaining and transport requirements before searching. Smaller executive groups may suit one substantial residence. Groups of 20, 50 or 100+ people will often need a coordinated multi-property approach.
Masters Week 2027 takes place in Augusta, Georgia, with Augusta National Golf Club at the centre of the event. For companies, the accommodation requirement can be very different from an ordinary business trip. A six-person leadership team may want one exceptional private residence. A 20-person group may require several individual bedrooms and en suite bathrooms. A larger delegation may need several residences operating as one programme.
| Group size | Typical approach | Main priorities |
|---|---|---|
| 4 to 10 guests | One high-quality private residence | Bedroom standard, en suite bathrooms, privacy and location |
| 10 to 20 guests | One substantial residence or two nearby houses | Bedroom configuration, shared space and property quality |
| 20 to 50 guests | Principal residence plus supporting properties | Property clustering, guest allocation, dining and transport |
| 50 to 100+ guests | Coordinated multi-property programme | Logistics, arrivals, transport and central coordination |
These are planning examples rather than fixed rules. A small board-level group may require a more substantial property than a larger operational group if the residence will also be used for private dining or client entertaining.
How does Masters housing work for a company group?
For a company group, Masters housing should begin with the brief rather than a property list. The organiser needs to establish who is travelling, how many individual bedrooms are required, the expected bathroom standard, whether the group wants one or several residences and whether the accommodation will also be used for private dining or client entertaining.
A suitable private residence can potentially provide greater privacy for senior guests, shared executive living space, private dining areas, a central breakfast and meeting base, a more controlled environment for client entertaining and the ability to keep a leadership team together.
The right accommodation is therefore the property or combination of properties that fits the operating needs of the group.
What should a company look for in a Masters Week residence?
A property can look impressive online and still be unsuitable for an executive group. Corporate buyers should look beyond sleeping capacity and assess the actual standard and layout of the residence.
Important considerations include individual adult bedrooms, en suite or high-quality bathroom provision, reception rooms, private dining space, kitchen and preparation facilities, privacy, vehicle access, outdoor space where relevant, and overall condition and presentation.
Golf Event Stays focuses on residences appropriate for corporate use rather than treating headline sleeping capacity as enough on its own.
How many bedrooms and bathrooms does an executive group need?
The required bedroom count depends on the people travelling. Twenty guests do not automatically mean ten rooms. A group of twenty individual executives may require twenty separate bedrooms, while a mixed group including couples may need fewer.
Bathroom configuration matters just as much. A seven-bedroom property with only a small number of shared bathrooms may technically sleep the group but still fall below the expected standard for senior executives or important clients.
If en suite bedrooms are essential or strongly preferred, that should be written into the brief before the sourcing begins.
Should a company rent one Masters house or several properties?
One residence can work extremely well for a smaller executive group. As the group grows, however, insisting that everyone stay under one roof can unnecessarily restrict the available options.
A multi-property programme may use a principal residence for senior leadership, VIP guests and client entertaining, a supporting residence for additional executives or clients, and further supporting residences for wider personnel or additional guests.
The properties should be sourced around the same brief so that location, guest allocation and transport work together.
Why does property clustering matter?
Finding several good houses is not enough if they are scattered in ways that make the programme difficult to operate.
Property clustering can make it easier to coordinate morning departures, executive vehicle routes, private dinners, guest movements, staff support and late-evening returns.
For a larger group, three coordinated residences can be stronger than three individually exceptional but disconnected properties.
Can a Masters residence be used for private dining?
Yes, if the residence is suitable. For some companies, the private residence becomes part of the client experience during Masters Week.
If the group plans breakfasts, dinners or evening entertaining, the property should be assessed for dining capacity, reception space, kitchen facilities, service access and vehicle access.
Golf Event Stays can coordinate introductions to independent private chefs, catering teams and related service partners where appropriate. These services are separate arrangements and are not assumed to be included with the property.
How should transport be planned around Masters housing?
Transport should be considered alongside the accommodation rather than after every property is secured.
A corporate programme may require airport transfers, daily event transport, chauffeur vehicles, group transport, staggered departures, evening movements and transport between residences.
The strongest property solution is therefore one that works with the company's wider movement plan.
When should a company start looking for Masters housing?
The larger and more specific the brief, the earlier it is useful to begin. A company looking for one residence has greater flexibility than a company requiring numerous individual bedrooms, en suite bathrooms, several nearby properties, private dining and transport.
Early planning does not mean every guest name must already be confirmed. A realistic group size, bedroom requirement, property standard and budget range are enough to begin building a meaningful sourcing brief.
What should be in a Masters housing brief?
A useful brief should cover dates, overnight guests, individual bedrooms, bathroom requirements, guest profile, property structure, entertaining, transport and a realistic working budget for the required standard.
How Golf Event Stays approaches Masters Week company housing
Golf Event Stays works from the company requirement rather than asking corporate groups to work through a public catalogue of unrelated properties.
For Masters Week, that means considering the complete brief: group size, bedrooms, bathrooms, property calibre, location, private dining, transport and whether one or several residences are required.
Golf Event Stays works with property owners and property partners to source suitable private residences and multi-property options. Where the group also needs catering, private chefs, chauffeur services or transport, introductions can be coordinated with relevant independent service partners.

Frequently asked questions
Can a company rent an entire house during Masters Week?
Yes. Private whole-home rentals form an important part of the Masters Week housing market. Suitability depends on the individual residence, the dates and the group requirements.
Can one property accommodate a 20-person corporate group?
Potentially. The decisive factors are individual bedroom requirements, bathrooms, property standard and whether the company wants everyone under one roof. Two nearby residences may sometimes be stronger.
What if a company needs accommodation for 50 or 100 people?
Larger groups will generally require a coordinated multi-property approach with guest allocation and transport planned across the programme.
Should executives have en suite bedrooms?
That depends on the group, but for senior leadership teams and important clients, en suite bathrooms are often worth treating as a specific sourcing requirement.
Can a private chef be arranged at a Masters Week residence?
Where the property is suitable, Golf Event Stays can coordinate introductions to independent private chefs or catering providers.
Does Golf Event Stays provide Masters tickets or official hospitality?
No. Golf Event Stays is an independent accommodation sourcing service. It does not sell Masters tickets, badges or official hospitality and is not affiliated with Augusta National Golf Club or the Masters Tournament.
