Chambers Bay is a Friggin Eyesore

[Harry N. Lloyd]

Typically I love watching golf on TV, particularly the Majors. I find it soothing. This course though is very tough on the eyes. Brown fairways, jaundiced greens, more sand than the Sahara. Way too much contour. Bumpy greens. No defining lines between fairway and rough, or even fringe and greens. Even high-def TV can't save it. Putrid!

[Snowball]

I like it... has a real rustic feel to it, very dangerous course.

so many players don't like the greens... i like that too !!!

these guys take their 1000% perfect greens for granted.. plus often the
fairways are so short they are like fringe anywhere else..

go to your local public course... pro golfers would struggle on the greens
because they can't work with any imperfections.

[Optional]

The gray sand makes it look kind of dirty.

More interesting than the average links course though

[FlipsideRM]

love it, especially when the train comes around and Mt. Rainier in the background is pretty sick

[Bcatswin]

It's a links course, i like it.

I've been a PGA professional for 25+ years and I agree that it is ugly. There's a big movement for more "Brown" courses around the country to conserve water and help the environment. You are going to start to see a lot more like this one in the near future.

[El Nino]

More of a gimmicky PGA Championship type course in my opinion. This is supposed to be a representation of American golf.

[yydouble]

Agree 1000%. The USGA's ego is out of control.
Starting with that dork chop who sets up the courses.
It will get the lowest ratings in 10 years.

Well yeah mainly because its being covered by FS1 and Fox.

[Harry N. Lloyd]

The announcers said that the players will walk a minimum of 10 miles each day with a hill climb equal to the height to the Space Needle. That seems a bit extreme. No wonder Jason Day got vertigo and passed out on the course. Too much contour.

I love golf and I'm happy that they brought the US Open to the beautiful Pacific Northwest. But this course seems gimmicky. I'd quit the game if I had to play Chambers Bay as my home course.

[jjgold]

Seattle not a golf area

Poor choice

[yydouble]

You said it JJ. F-ing dog track! USGA and Mike Brown (dork chop) screwed up the set-up as well. Changing the par on 2 different holes the first two days was utterly idiotic. This will go down as worst US Open in history.

[yydouble]

Gary Player just ripped the course for 2 min straight on the golf channel live.
Omg he was great!

"the most unpleasant golf tournament I have ever seen in my life"

"Whoever designed his place must have had one leg shorter than the other"

"I've never seen so many players that missed the cut so happy to be going home"

"It's actually a tragedy"

"You don't bring majors to golf courses like this, this is devastating"

Case closed by the hall of famer!

Priceless rant!

[pavyracer]

How come cuddies don't get tired? They carry 50 lbs more than the players and are not pro athletes. They have to walk 10 miles and carry 50 lbs uphill.

[pavyracer]

And Tiger Woods could have been playing mini golf and still wouldn't make the cut. It's not the course..it's the player.

CADDIES do get tired. The players hire them to carry the bag so they don't have to. Jesus Pavy, 54,000 posts bro. Get your life together.

Yes but we are talking about the course. pavy just go back to sleep bro.

[TEXAS MICKEY]

The only things missing from this course, is the Clown & Windmill.

Ha ha, Never heard that one before... Patrick Reed actually called #18 "Mickey Mouse Golf"

I thought you'd enjoy that Tex!

[TEXAS MICKEY]

This place is making the PGA higher ups, looking like fools.

YY and yes, a very Mickey Mouse goat run.

[Soxsfan9]

I Am interest to see who will win the US-British Open!

This is garbage- lynx golf is reserve for the British Open!

[yydouble]

Ok the sentence structure in this thread is really bad.
I feel like I'm on the front 9 at Torrey with 3 Asians.

[daneblazer]

This place looks like a dump

[jjgold]

Always remember everybody has to play it so nobody should be complaining on tour

[TEXAS MICKEY]

Billy Hoershel just blistered their ass about how bad the greens were.

[Boner_18]

I like the train

[pavyracer]

Why do they called them greens? Unless I'm colorblind they are either beige or tan color.

[Ghenghis Kahn]

i actually like the color of the greens on this course. it's the same color as the public courses i play at.

[thechaoz]

it grew on me but I like train wrecks

[jjgold]

Well the best players in the world are right there so obviously they got it right meaning the course

[pavyracer]

Great players can read the course. If the course was easy everyone would have made the cut and post low scores.

[Ra77er]

I went with the Vertigo guy

[yydouble]

I call him "Dizzy" now among friends. I just can't help it.

[KVB]

Dizzy Day...

or Jason Dizzy...
