About Chambers Bay

Chambers Bay is Washington State's most prestigious public golf course and one of America's great links-style layouts, dramatically carved into the towering glacial bluffs overlooking Puget Sound near University Place. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. on the site of a former gravel mine, the course hosted the 2015 US Open Championship — the first on a public course in years — and has welcomed elite amateurs, USGA championships, and weekend golfers seeking a bucket-list experience. Sweeping fescue fairways, deep pot bunkers, and ever-present Puget Sound winds create a true Scottish links feel on American soil. The panoramic views of the Tacoma Narrows, Vashon Island, and the Olympic Mountains are simply unmatched anywhere in Washington golf.

History

Chambers Bay opened in 2007 on the site of a former sand and gravel quarry owned by Pierce County. Robert Trent Jones Jr. transformed the industrial landscape into a dramatic links course that was selected to host the 2015 US Open — the first US Open on a public course in decades — where Jordan Spieth claimed his second major championship.

Serious golfers seeking a bucket-list US Open venue experience on a world-class links course above Puget Sound.

Why Chambers Bay is Hard to Book
Booking Difficulty
Very hard to book

Premier bucket-list course with high national profile; tee times release 60 days out and prime morning windows sell out within hours of release, especially May–September.

Without automated alerts, you'd need to constantly refresh the booking site hoping to catch a cancellation. That's where TeeTimeGo comes in — we monitor the tee sheet and notify you the moment a slot opens.

Insider Booking Tips

Book exactly 60 days in advance at midnight when the tee sheet opens — prime times disappear within the first hour. Consider a caddie for the full experience and course navigation. Weekday late afternoon and twilight rates offer the best value. Check for November–February winter rates for significant discounts.

Pro tip: Set a TeeTimeGo alert so you're notified the instant a cancellation opens — even at 2am.
