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

Hole #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.
