Is there a Augusta National for public?

Given its prestige, is there another couse in the world built exactly like augusta so public can have a go? Or is the design patented?

Try the Royal Gems course in Bangkok - the back 9 there is a "replica" of the back 9 at Augusta. I played there last year and it was great - it's a relatively new course so some of the trees etc need some growth, but you still get a great feel for the course.

As a bonus, the first 9 holes are replica's from other courses around the world - the 17th at Sawgrass etc etc.

This will give you a guide of what to expect:
