Been to multiple practice rounds.
You have no choice but to go if you have the means. It's like punching Jesus in the dick if you don't.
ETA: It's honestly breathtaking. I was 12 years old the first time I went and I can remember being in awe of it even then (and I didn't fully understand all the intricacies of golf at the time). I seriously tear up just thinking about how gorgeous it is. It reminds me a lot of my mom and grandmother's gardens at home. It's a perfect representation of the natural beauty of Georgia and of the South. Azaleas, Dogwoods. It's paradise.

I got to cross it off my bucket list in 2011. Went to Thursday & Friday rounds. We set our chairs on the ropeline at 16 Thursday & 15 Friday. All I can say is this is the most incredible sports event I have ever attended, by far.
Extremely well coordinated, unbelievable access to players (I met Phil, Freddie, Steve Stricker, Tiger;s mom, and believe it or not, Emmett Smith). One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen.
Concessions are ridiculously cheap (not sure how many egg salad sandwiches I ate), but the gift shop items are more in line price-wise with what you would expect. I bought a "2011 Masters" flag for around $80 and had it framed in a shadow box for my office.
Walking the course was the best. All those scenes you have watched forever on TV are right before your eyes. Trust me, it's even better in person. Watched Jason Day practice putting Friday morning, then he came over and talked to us before he teed off. Also gave me his three practice putting balls, which I gave to my sons when I got home.
Oh, and best part of all? Didn't cost me a cent. Whole trip underwritten by my brother-in-law's company, including lodging and all meals outside the course. Like many people, we stayed in someone's home. (They left for the week and offered their home for rent. It was beautiful.)
Bottom line: sell the kids, borrow what you have to, and go. You will not be disappointed!
