Chambers Bay

My first time playing Chambers bay and thoroughly enjoyed the course and my caddie. I was paired with a father and his 2 teenage sons, all good players but the boys did not have any gold etiquette. They were very nice people but difficultto play with. If I was at a local muni it would be more understandable, but why at Chambers bay??. It's actually quite hard to disrupt me especially at such a beautiful place . It's always a risk going as a single but most times you meet like minded people. Sadly that wasn't the case today

I was unsure what to expect. The course was in impeccable condition and had views that are inspiring. 38-41 for a 79 was a pleasant surprise. Get a caddie. It’s worth the spend.

Always a beautiful challenge. Prepare to burn some calories.

Great layout and challenging.

Elevation changes keep one thinking on club selection

Layup distance and approaches definitely keep one thinking especially with quick greens

1st time ever playing a course that’s hosted a modern Tour Event/Major, it was fun beyond belief. The staff were super helpful & nice (shoutout to Chris the Starter) the range on course had complimentary extra small buckets of balls (Taylormade Tour Response) the practice green was massive & push/pull carts are free to use w/ a tee time. I got paired up w/ some locals who were super helpful w/ lines off the tee box, where to land it around/on green, and just general knowledge of the place. I carried my bag the whole 18 (i usually use a pushcart back home in SoCal) and it wasn’t that tough of a walk even on the holes that have large ascents/descents, thought my legs would be dead by 17th but made it through the whole round plus the walk to the lower parking lot just fine. Personally i don’t like the PNW due to it’s gloomy/rainy weather and can care less about the views of the “sound” but even so Chambers is beautiful in a golf sense, as a links style fanboy i’m so happy i racked up enough golfnow points to get a massive discount on the tee time.

This is a true links style course that is very fun to play. No trees. The waste areas and the undulating greens are the defense. Staff is very friendly. Walking only course that requires some strong legs and patience as it takes over 4.5 hours with 4 golfers to play even without holdups. When it is busy, expect 5 hours or more. The course is expensive during the good weather but you can get deals off season and play the course as true links conditions :-)

Every part of your game will be tested. Knowing where to miss is just as important as which backstop to play off of on approach shots. If you’re above the hole or short sided getting up and down will be next to impossible. But it is not an unfair challenge. Beautiful course and layout. Amazing conditions for this time of year. Be prepared to hit shots with noodle legs. Loved it can’t wait to be back!

Great course, great time with the family. First time out as family for my son’s 21st birthday. He played a great round there for being his first time.

Had a great opportunity to play Chamber's Bay and got a deal on GolfNow($250 after tax). The weather was perfect, the staff was polite, and the course was in incredible shape. The only two drawbacks were: mats on the range, no grass(maybe a seasonal thing), and the mats weren't great(free balls though). The other drawback was that the marshal didn't seem to care that the pace was WILDLY slow. It took 3 hours to play the front 9, and our total time for the round was over 5½ hours. We had to play 17 and 18 almost in the dark(too dark to read greens or even track your ball flight). When you pay $250 for a round of golf, especially at such a renowned course, the pace should absolutely never be that slow. Overall, I'm glad we played, and we still enjoyed our round.

Beautiful course, it’s a tough walk when it’s warm outside. It’s gonna take 5 hours. Added the driving range that doesn’t require a bus ride. ….. learned a new one, the whole group gets a draft beer for the lowest score in the group at the grill. Score of 84 = 4 $0.84 beers.

Chambers Bay lives up to and exceeds the hype. This course provides some great challenges with both shots off the tee and into the green. Interesting routing throughout the round provides an excellent opportunity to view the course and surrounding amazing views as the sun and temperature change during it.

The one shotters were the most memorable holes #9 and #15 have views that are Instagram eye candy for days.

Playing this former US Open venue and reliving the same shots always makes playing a course that much more enjoyable and memorable.

Caddies make the experience that much more enjoyable and really help on and around the greens. Some of the greens and very large and undulating. Props to them.

This is Robert Trent Jones II finest work.

The superintendent and maintenance team do a great job of keeping this property in tip top shape. Only nitpick comment that I could take away from the round I played was that when playing a fescue course in the middle of summer I was hoping the conditions were form and fast to really get the experience of playing this course as Jones intended. Unfortunately it was a bit softer than expected. It’s much greener so laws for better pictures and astetics.

Awesome work Chambers Bay. I hope come come back many times and enjoy again.

Booked Chambers Bay via their "Championship Experience" on their site. Chambers was the last course we played in the trip.

Nice layout, with some decent elevation changes. We walked and did not take a caddy. The pro shop is at the top of a hill, you take a shuttle down to the course & driving range. Weather was perfect, low 60s, overcast and minimal wind.

A lot of the fairways are wide and in good shape, but if you get into the wild grass you may not be able to find the ball. Bunkers also were very good and greens seemed patchy, but rolled decent.

No beverage cart, but they have a stand you pass multiple times in addition to the rest area after #9.

Pace of play was 4 hours for us, but we were one of the first groups out. I played Pinehurst #2 one year ago, if I had to choose one to play again it would be Chambers Bay.

Four of us played Chambers Bay during a week long golf trip to WA/OR. The weather was near perfect and the course was in great shape. We all used caddies which made the walk easier and the golf even more enjoyable. It's a pretty pricey day of golf, but we all thoroughly enjoyed it annd agreed we would do it again.

It's a beautiful place to get kicked in the face by the golf gods 😂
