I think Chambers Bay is great overall, but the amenities could be more organized. I mean, why is it they only serve snacks during peak hours? LOL.
Chambers Bay has hosted numerous prestigious events, including the 2015 U.S. Open. The course conditions were stellar during that tournament, showcasing its potential for top-level play.
Absolutely! I’ve played there since the U.S. Open, and it’s clear they maintain a high standard, though sometimes it can get a bit crowded.

What I find interesting is how event preparation shifts the atmosphere. My experience as a visitor for the PNW Open last year was electric, with friendly vibes everywhere. It really highlights the course’s versatility.
Totally agree! I think the events really elevate the overall visitor experience, and you can feel it in the air during those times.
I’ve also noticed how the course conditions fluctuate post-tournaments. After big events, the fairways tend to take longer to recover. Anyone else feel the same?
Good point! It’s a double-edged sword; the events bring more attention, but they do wear on the course. Fascinating balance.
That said, I think hosting such high-profile tournaments has greatly enhanced Chambers Bay’s reputation. It’s become a must-visit for golf enthusiasts.
True! But do you think that also leads to higher green fees? Seems like they capitalize on their status.

You bet! Those greens definitely come at a price. Still, I’d argue it’s worth it for the experience and beauty of the course.
Golfing there is like playing on a postcard. That said, can we just talk about the elevation changes? Hilarious how my legs were aching for days after!
