Of the 3 courses, I preferred the PGA. The Brabazon has some lovely holes on it but I do feel that it slightly over rated but saying that, no one ever says "I've played the Belfry" and not meant the Brabazon.
Go Brabazon if you are able to
Go Brabazon if you are able to
If you can make a mini break of it. Use your voucher for the Brabazon, playing anytime from May and I doubt you’ll be disappointed. Then there are always cracking deals on last minute for the pga.

To be honest if you have a voucher for one course it has to be the Brabazon just to tick off the bucket list. However if that isn't a huge requirement the PGA is a better course, usually in better condition and I've always found it less busy

The PGA is the best course, I thought the Brabazon was overrated.

You may think it is a better course although having played it a number of times I find it featureless and boring.
However your lack of knowledge of the venue shows when you suggest that the PGA is usually in better condition.
The Brabazon is not a great course but it is always in great condition.

Felt much the same about parts of the Brabazon apart from the famous holes. The rest isn't that interesting. The PGA has always been in decent condition when I've played it although that has usually been summer or Autumn. Know plenty about the venue as been there a number of times for conferences and golf

Surely got to play the brabazon?
I played it a few weeks ago and loved it!
I thought the place was quality and will definitely be heading back soon to play the PGA but if I could only pick one course it would have to be the brabazon.

The PGA is a better course in terms of layout but the Brabazon is always streets ahead of the other courses and others in terms of condition - normally immaculate. If it’s a voucher for a freebie then would have that for the Brabazon then add a night stay plus the PGA

I found it perfectly ok, no it's not Sunningdale but it's well presented, good greens and some history

The PGA may have been in decent condition but you claimed it's generally in better condition than the Brabazon.
Rubbish!

Played the Brabazon - did not have my game though, it was great. Could have really played it better and lower.
played the other course not the PGA, as my Dad is in his 70s and not an experienced golfer. That was good, the pin positions would /could make it a challenge. But sometimes it’s about the experience and enjoying the game with someone important.
