Chambers Bay Not To Be Missed

Situated along the shores of the Puget Sound and less than an hour’s drive South from Seattle, Chambers Bay is Washington State’s public golf masterpiece-a unique tribute to the historic links of Scotland and Ireland, and the Pacific Northwest’s premier links-style course.  Since its grand opening in June 2007, Chambers Bay has received an unprecedented amount of praise from golf media, including being named Best New Course by GOLF Magazine, Travel + Leisure Golf and Golfweek.  Currently, Chambers Bay sits atop the list of best public golf courses in the state of Washington for a number of publications.  The most stunning endorsements of the links layout came less than one year after opening, when the United States Golf Association deemed Chambers Bay worthy of hosting two of their most prestigious events. Host to the 2015 U.S. Open and 2010 U.S. Amateur Championships, Chambers Bay was designed to challenge the greatest players in the world.  The true genius of the work done by legendary architectural firm Robert Trent Jones II, however, is that the course remains inviting and enjoyable to players of all skill levels.  Reinterpreting history, Jones and his team took the site of a 100 year-old quarry, and moved nearly 1.4 million cubic yards of existing sand and gravel to sculpt a new landscape.  With towering sand dunes, massive fairways and undulating greens, Chambers Bay provides a true connection to the birthplace of the game as a par 72, walking-only course that stretches from 5,100 to 7,585 yards on fescue turf from tee to green.  Along with the 18-hole championship golf course is a large practice facility with driving range, short game area and multiple putting greens.

In addition to the golf course, the Chambers Bay Grill is an amenity not to be missed.  The restaurant’s patio offers the perfect place to enjoy the breathtaking views and recount your round over an ever-changing menu featuring traditional Northwest cuisine.  Nearly as significant as the countless awards and accolades that have been bestowed upon Chambers Bay is the environmental legacy established from the beginning.  As the first golf course in the Pacific Northwest to be certified an Audubon International Silver Signature Sanctuary, Chambers Bay was designed, constructed and will be maintained in accordance with Audubon International’s precise planning standards and environmental disciplines.  Working cooperatively with Audubon International, Chambers Bay is creating a new tradition of managing and protecting water quality and wildlife habitat for the betterment of the environment and the future of the game. Residents of Washington State will now have even easier access to Chambers Bay, as an in-state rate and increased hours of Sunset Rates have been announced for the entire month of May.
