#15 at Chambers Bay Golf Course

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 15 (Lone Fir) This dramatic downhill hole is the shortest of the one shotters at Chambers Bay. Most days a wedge or short iron will be enough here, but like many of the great coastal short holes, when the wind changes so does the proper club selection. Dropping sharply from the tee, the green is surrounded by a vast sandy area. The green slopes from left to right and a ribbon of fairway to the left will give players an additional slope to access left hand hole locations. Again, Puget Sound will provide a backdrop sure to make concentrating on golf difficult. - Chambers Bay Golf Course is located in University Place, Washington.  Opened in 2007, Chambers Bay is a pure links golf course, with beautiful panoramic views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.  Future site of the 2015 U.S. Open golf tournament.  A few years ago, Golf Digest and Golf Magazine recognize it as the best new course in the country.

#14 at Chambers Bay Golf Course - Location of the 2015 U.S. Open Tournament

#14 at Chambers Bay

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 14 (Cape Fear)  From the elevated tees, this long downhill dogleg left looks to go forever. It almost does, at 530+ yards from the back tee this would be the longest par 4 in major championship history. And while length is a factor on this hole, the sheer beauty of the backdrop and strategy of the hole will dominate one's attention. The player has two options off the tee. A safe play to the right will yield a longer approach from an elevated perch. A risky tee shot over the large deep sandy area (affectionately known as the pit of despair) will leave a shorter more level approach that must carry another sandy area. The large green, surrounded by fairway, runs from front right to back left making a draw an ideal play.  - Chambers Bay Golf Course is located in University Place, Washington.  Opened in 2007, Chambers Bay is a pure links golf course, with beautiful panoramic views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.  Future site of the 2015 U.S. Open golf tournament.  A few years ago, Golf Digest and Golf Magazine recognize it as the best new course in the country.

#13 at Chambers Bay Golf Course - Location of the 2015 U.S. Open Tournament

#13 at Chambers Bay

Hole 13 (Eagle Eye) – The placement of the tee shot is critical on this strong, dogleg right par-4. Though the fairway is the widest on the course, a tee shot down the right significantly reduces the length of the approach. A central bunker requires players to carefully choose their line of attack on the approach. Shots struck off line will be rejected by the knob on the left of the green, or a slope falling away on the right.

#12 at Chambers Bay Golf Course - Location of the 2015 U.S. Open Tournament

#12 at Chambers Bay

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 12 (The Narrows) The short twelfth hole is perhaps the most intriguing on the course. A narrow 30-yard wide fairway nestled between dunes climbs to a natural amphitheatre setting. There, a 12,000+ square foot green with bold contours and surrounded by fairways slopes awaits. Players can either go for the green or risk the menacing lone bunker short of the green or they can lie back with an iron off the tee. The greens contours will require short approach shots and greenside pitches to be played not just on the green but into the correct section of the green. Creativity and shot making should be rewarded on this hole and particularly on this green- Chambers Bay Golf Course is located in University Place, Washington.  Opened in 2007, Chambers Bay is a pure links golf course, with beautiful panoramic views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.  Future site of the 2015 U.S. Open golf tournament.  A few years ago, Golf Digest and Golf Magazine recognize it as the best new course in the country.

#9 at Chambers Bay Golf Course - Location of the 2015 U.S. Open Tournament

#9 at Chambers Bay Golf Course

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 9 (Olympus) The ninth at Chambers Bay, like the fifth, offers a panoramic view of the course, Puget Sound, the islands and the Olympic Mountains. The hole drops almost 100 feet from the back tee to a peninsula green surrounded by deep sandy areas. The wise play here is to use the fairway short and left as it slopes sharply to the green. Because of the high quality of the sand that was present in this area of the site, the area between the tees and green was excavated creating the heroic carry to the green. The sand that was excavated from this area was then screened and placed at 12 inch depth over the entire course prior to grassing.  - Chambers Bay Golf Course is located in University Place, Washington.  Opened in 2007, Chambers Bay is a pure links golf course, with beautiful panoramic views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.  Future site of the 2015 U.S. Open golf tournament.  A few years ago, Golf Digest and Golf Magazine recognize it as the best new course in the country.

#5 at Chambers Bay Golf Course - Location of the 2015 U.S. Open Tournament

#5 at Chambers Bay

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 5 (Free Fall) – The fifth hole at Chambers Bay offers the first panoramic perspective on the course. From the tee, the player can see virtually the entire course, as well as Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains and McNeil, Anderson, and Fox Islands and most importantly both greens at the fifth. While some other famed courses have holes with two greens on one hole (Pine Valley / Ballybunion Cashen / Pacific Dunes), the fifth at Chambers Bay is unique because the greens are 150 yards apart. The teeshot at the fifth plays downhill some 80 feet to a very wide fairway. From there the player is left with a long iron to the open “long green” or a delicate pitch to the protected “short” green. In both instances, players are wise to use the ground contours around the green to guide their ball towards the hole. - Chambers Bay Golf Course is located in University Place, Washington.

#4 at Chambers Bay Golf Course - Location of the 2015 U.S. Open Tournament

#4 at Chambers Bay

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 4 (Hazard's Ascent) The fourth hole is the first of the long holes at Chambers Bay and takes the player away from Puget Sound for the first time. The 554 yarder offers a generous landing area off the tee then heads up the large hill. The right side of the fairway provides a shorter route to the green but also contains stronger fairway contours making an attempt at the green in two more difficult depending upon the lie. The split-level fairway climbs the hill flowing from left to right and yielding a safe route around the deep sandy area to the right. The three level green contains some of the stronger contours on the course that should be utilized for pitches onto the green as well as lag putting. - Chambers Bay Golf Course is located in University Place, Washington.  Opened in 2007, Chambers Bay is a pure links golf course, with beautiful panoramic views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.  Future site of the 2015 U.S. Open golf tournament.  A few years ago, Golf Digest and Golf Magazine recognize it as the best new course in the country.

#3 at Chambers Bay Golf Course - Location of the 2015 U.S. Open Tournament

#3 at Chambers Bay

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 3 (Blown Out) The third hole is the first of the short holes at Chambers Bay. Once again, Puget Sound provides a picturesque backdrop for this one shotter. A large, deep sandy area dominates the left side of the hole while the right side offers players a fairway backboard or kickslope to utilize for their mid iron. The green slopes from front right to back left requiring many players to land their shot off the putting surface and run the ball on. - Chambers Bay Golf Course is located in University Place, Washington.  Opened in 2007, Chambers Bay is a pure links golf course, with beautiful panoramic views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.  Future site of the 2015 U.S. Open golf tournament.  A few years ago, Golf Digest and Golf Magazine recognize it as the best new course in the country.

#2 at Chambers Bay Golf Course - Location of the 2015 U.S. Open Tournament

#2 at Chambers Bay Golf Course

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 2 (Foxy) – The 421 yard second hole heads due north and doglegs slightly from right to left. The hole starts in the dunes and opens to Puget Sound at the landing area. A small hummock bisecting the fairway landing area will direct balls right or left. The approach from the right is open and favors a running draw, while the left will require an aerial approach over a greenside sandy area. The green slopes gently from right to left and features a dramatic back left hole location.

#1 at Chambers Bay Golf Course - Location of the 2015 U.S. Open Tournament

#1 at Chambers Bay Golf Course

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 1 (Puget Sound) The first hole at Chambers Bay sets the tone for the entire round. This long, challenging opener heads straight to Puget Sound, just as a first time visitor would have walked the site prior to the golf construction. If the breathtaking backdrop of Puget Sound doesn't capture your attention, the bold fairway contours and devilish green sure will. Flanked by a 50 ft tall dune on the right, the first hole shares a fairway with the 18th ala The Old Course at St. Andrew's. The right side of the fairway is elevated and offers an open entrance to the green. Playing down the left side will require players to negotiate a steep fairway hollow left of the green.

#18 At Chambers Bay Golf Course - Location Of The 2015 U.S. Open Tournament

Hole #18 at Chambers Bay

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 18 (Tahoma) – The home hole at Chambers Bay heads back east from the Sound. This long uphill hole will require a big decision to close the round. The tee shot is played over a shallow sandy area and along side the 40 ft concrete structures known as “the sorting bins.” The generous fairway is shared with the first hole but in order to reach the green in two a long tee shot down the right side is required. From there a player can lay up short left of the green or attempt a bold approach over a deep fronting sandy area. The vast green features some of the boldest contours on the course requiring pitch shots to either be executed perfectly or the need for some imagination and creative shot making. A large dune along the right side of the hole was designed and created to accommodate major tents and bleachers allowing tens of thousands of spectators to witness the finale of any championship.

#17 At Chambers Bay Golf Course - Location Of The 2015 U.s. Open Championship

#17 at Chambers Bay

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 17 (Derailed)  Just as the fifth hole featured two different greens, the seventeenth features two different tee locations. The lower tee is some 220 yards from the green and only offers a partial view of the hole. A steep dune on the left and a low sandy area along the right dominate the picture. A shorter elevated tee offers a completely different perspective. Looking down upon the surface and with full view of the left side bailout, players may choose a different route to the green. The green is engulfed by a sandy waste area short and right but is open long and left. The right hand hole location will not only test ones putting but actually brings the railroad (OB) into play. - Chambers Bay Golf Course is located in University Place, Washington.  Opened in 2007, Chambers Bay is a pure links golf course, with beautiful panoramic views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.  Future site of the 2015 U.S. Open golf tournament.  A few years ago, Golf Digest and Golf Magazine recognize it as the best new course in the country.

#16 at Chambers Bay Golf Course

From chambersbaygolf.com - Hole 16 (Beached) While many of the holes at Chambers Bay have played towards the water, the sixteenth holes plays along the water. The right edge of the fairway perilously hanging over the edge of deep sandy area will entice players to bite off as much as possible. While the ample left side of the fairway may be the wiser play. From the left a player will be forced to find a small green that appears to be hanging over the water while avoiding the deep bunker to the right. A small finger of green in the back right is sure to make for an exciting championship hole location. - Chambers Bay Golf Course is located in University Place, Washington.  Opened in 2007, Chambers Bay is a pure links golf course, with beautiful panoramic views of the Puget Sound and Olympic Mountains.  Future site of the 2015 U.S. Open golf tournament.  A few years ago, Golf Digest and Golf Magazine recognize it as the best new course in the country.
