About this course
Chambers Bay in University Place, Washington, opened in 2007 on a former sand and gravel mine on the shore of Puget Sound. Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed it for Pierce County, which owns the course, and the mining terrain left behind steep grades, sand ridges and open ground with no trees at all except a single fir near the 15th green.
The course is turfed in fescue and plays firm and fast, with holes routed along and above the water and a passenger rail line running between the course and the Sound. It is walking only. Several holes have multiple green sites and tee positions, so the routing can change day to day, and one hole can play as a par 4 or a par 5.
Chambers Bay hosted the 2010 U.S. Amateur and the 2015 U.S. Open, won by Jordan Spieth. The greens were converted from fescue to poa annua in 2018 after criticism of their condition during that Open.

Allenmore Public Golf Course
Tacoma, WA · 5.1 mi away
Allenmore Golf Course is a public, 18-hole course centrally located in Tacoma, Washington, at 2013 South Cedar Street. Construction began in July 1930 on land assembled by Sam Allen and William Dinsmore, whose combined names gave the course its title, with Ray Ball serving as the original architect. The course was built on rolling ground that required extensive clearing, and it was among the first Pacific Northwest courses to water fairways and greens without relying on hoses, using a dedicated pumping system and reservoir. Today the facility includes a golf shop, practice range, and the Urban Elk Restaurant & Bar, and it also hosts weddings and banquets through its events center. Golf instruction is available through PGA teaching professionals, and the course remains open to public play daily.
