Firethorn isn't too bad on first play. I tested out some of the severe pins to see how they played. I had to turn down the greens just a few clicks, to 175 feet, because I'm a disaster at putting speed so far. I figured everyone else is too, so I thought I would create a little bit of a break at first. Folks can always turn up the settings if they want to. We'll see how it ages, which can help me decide how to approach the greens on the 2k21 version. If some pins are real iffy, then maybe I'll do some editing to ensure it plays fair.
For now I would say, as in real life at Augusta, try not to go above the pins.
I'm going to try and locate my course file and back it up, and then I'll publish as Firethorn National TGC19.
EDIT: Actually finding the file was extremely easy, it's basically in the same spot as last game! Now published.

I'm guessing some of the new folks who don't know better started shouting from the rooftops about it. I imagine that'd do it.

Yeah, couldn't find it myself. But I can search "augusta" and there's ten horrible auto-gens there. What in the actual f\/ck.

For those of us who haven’t got the game yet, will we be able to find/play Firethorn somehow? Like has some society had it in their schedule already and we can go in and add it to our favorites that way?

Rename it Magnoliaceae Country Club and upload it again. **** Augusta and HB for taking it down.

Grateful if anyone knows a way I can play this course (having not played it before it got taken down). It looks amazing!

CLV also did a great rendition of the Augusta par 3 course in TGC19 that got removed from search results. For that one, you would just go to a society that had already played it on their schedule and fave it and then it was available to play from your favorites list. Hopefully this solution is also available for Firethorn.

I could be misinterpreting things, but looks like that Knives Creek Barstool guy created a society and played an event there, and blasted it all over twitter.
It's definitely gone from My Courses. Luckily I learned my lesson last game and was ready.
I'm going to have to think about how to approach this going forward. It definitely was too conspicuous with a new highly visible PGA Tour licensed game release to go unnoticed by the sensitive folks in Georgia.
EDIT: Actually it looks like they didn't implement any different way of removing courses in this game, so you can still find it through Friends Played, Friends Favorite, etc (I haven't looked at the different categories, I just found it through Friends Played).

I wish the ANGC people would get a life, and HB/2k would grow a spine. I understand not allowing courses named Augusta National and tournaments called The Masters in the game, but beyond that, who cares?

Definitely a bummer, if not remotely surprising. I feel like we're getting to the point It'd make sense to just make a psuedo-Augusta to push out that can be used openly without there being the touchy potential legal issues. Then we can point everyone that's going to shout it from the rooftops to this separate, distinct course. Plus, if we're already changing the tour names to avoid legal issues, would we even be able to hold the pseudo-Masters at Firethorn anyways?
