More about Chambers Bay Golf Course

This golf course is spread across 250 acres. The Pierce County bought the land for this course at US$ 33 million in 1992 at the time when this place was full of sand and gravel quarry and was used by the off road tour and four wheeler dirt bikers. While during the construction process about 1.4 million cubic yards of dirt and sand (which was similar to 100, 000 truckloads) was removed from the site and finally it was cleaned up. Even then it was still meant as mine so the construction work went with few restrictions.

The course is owned by the municipality and the Pierce County members get the access to the course at discounted rates. The course mainly is for the walkers only and caddies are available only with prior permissions.
