Chambers Bay Golf Course

The Chambers Creek Properties is comprised of over 950 acres located along the shores of the Puget Sound, in University Place, WA. While Pierces Countys ownership of the properties has been fairly recent, the making of the properties and its surrounding land uses began to take shape over 200 years ago and was influenced by not only the physical changes made, but by the people who lived and worked here.
The quarry history stems as far back as the Steilacoom Indian Tribe and the first European settlers in 1832.
Over the last 200 years, the entire Chambers Creek Properties area has been used as a location for a paper mill, a proposed match company, a major industrial center, multiple lumber companies, a railroad center, a county gravel mine, a bus barn, a regional wastewater treatment plant, a preservation and recreational area . .. .
The centerpiece of the property today is Chambers Bay golf course, a public course that opened three Junes ago and was designed by Robert Trent Jones II. It was famous the day it opened, and soon was named the host course for two USGA championships: this years US Amateur and the 2015 US Open.
Today was a nice sunny, windy, cloudy and scattered showers sort of day, so I decided to experience the weather. Took a long stroll of about 2 miles and shot a lot of footage including movies, attached are a few pix, of course they have been enhanced to please the eyes. Hope you enjoy.
Thanks
