The trees, bunkers and the lakes. Stay out of those and you will be fine!

We played the Derby yesterday and brab today shattered now. Was nice but i think the Celtic manor edges it. Been good to play it again in the summer
Thats good to hear.
Played brabazon in October and loved it.
Playing Roman Road and 2012 in two weeks and then Brabazon on way home.
Did id you got for the 10th?

The No Laying Up boys were playing the Brabazon the other day. Wonder if they got a complimentary media round?
Is it that bad condition until then?
world you recommend PGA over Brab this time of year?

I played The Brabazon on 16th March 2017. Sure, it wasn't in perfect condition, but still pretty good in my opinion. Had a great day all the same, as we got lucky with the weather, and it is great to play a piece of Ryder Cup History
Live played it before an like the course. Haven't paid the PGA yet.
The pga can be gotten for a decent rate with the offers online (approx £25), where as Brabazon as of April is gonna be £90. Would rather play the course in better condition tbh.

it drains the worse of the three courses and looks really somber without all the greenery and flowers that you get on the summer. the pga looks the same all year round as its links designed.
if its your first time playing the brab just be prepared to be left a little underwhelmed. its still a good test of golf though as it plays looooooong when the fairways are soft

Greens on the Darby were really poor a lot of pitch marks a lot of gur and bunkers with no sand.
Brab fairways were a little soft greens better but not what i was expecting. Didn't go for the 10th as people were still on the green and was trying to speed things up a little

those gur bunkers are all brand new and bedding in. I'm surprised you haven't said "why have they used pot bunkers on a parkland course!!!!! that's our main gripe
