Egg Salad Sandwich – $1.50
Sometimes, the simplest food item can be one of the most loved and that's definitely the case when it comes to the egg salad sandwich. It's an absolute Masters food classic and no frills needed – for a buck and some change you get 2 slices of bread housing some fresh egg salad. Glamorous? Maybe not. Delicious? Absolutely.
Pimento Cheese Sandwich – $1.50
Another affordable option at The Masters that's also one of the more popular among the food choices is the Pimento cheese sandwich. Pimento cheese is a staple in Southern US cuisine, combining cheese, mayonnaise and pimentos. It's savory with a kick of spice that pairs great with barbecue and a cold beer or, as the popularity of the pimento cheese sandwiches indicates, can be the star of snack all by itself.
Classic Chicken Sandwich – $2.50
If you're hoping for a bit more protein than the pimento cheese sandwich or the egg salad sandwich can provide, you better be ready to fork over that extra dollar. The classic chicken sandwich offers a bit more hearty food option for those getting the second round stomach rumbles while still not breaking the bank.
Ham & Cheese – $2.50
It couldn't be snack time with out a classic like ham and cheese on rye. No barbecue or grill is needed to whip up a quick and tasty ham sammie to enjoy while strolling the site. It's a nostalgic taste that can bring you back to grade school lunches like no other. It's ham, it's cheese but for some reason it just tastes better on the grounds of Augusta while watching a new champion beat the field.
Turkey & Cheese – $2.50
Another grade school classic on the menu that just gets taken to a new level while on the beautiful grounds of Augusta National Golf Club is the turkey and cheese on wheat. While it might not be exactly how Mom used to make it, it's definitely a tasty snack in the April sun. Pair it with some chips for a grab-and-go lunch that'll only run you $4.
Masters Club – $2.50
Nothing makes you feel like you're really part of the club than...well, eating a club – specifically The Masters club.

Veggie Wrap – $2.50
Don't worry, vegetarians – the folks at Augusta National Golf Club have just the thing for you to eat on the menu, too.

Grilled Chicken Wrap and Sandwich – $3.00
An unfortunate casualty on the menu is the beloved grilled chicken wrap, while you can still get your grilled chicken fix via the sandwich option, the wrap has since made way for the chicken salad on Brioche. You better be ready to break the bank because the Chicken sandwich is tied for the most "expensive" of the sandwiches on the menu at $3 a pop. But when you get to bite into a brioche roll after only white, wheat and rye bread all week long – it might just be worth the extra $0.50.
Bar-B-Que Sandwich $3.00
It's tied as the most expensive of the sandwiches for a reason, when you have a cold beer in hand and the pimento cheese sandwiches just aren't cutting it anymore, it's time for fork over the extra $0.50 and spring for the Bar-B-Que sandwich. Nothing says April golf quite like the sweet and tangy taste of some barbecue with some potato chips. In recent years, this food item has become a favorite among Augusta patrons, and after one taste, it's easy to see why. Golf, barbecue and beer – just as American as apple pie or heading to a baseball game and enjoying a hot dog.
