Spent yesterday at Chambers Bay. What a fantastic course, just stunning to behold and looks like so much fun to play. I will have to play it in a season or two when I'm ready. I have to say that there

Well, it's been ages since I posted here, former writer at TST. I spent the Tuesday practice round and Thursday at Chambers Bay. It is expansive. Beautiful views of the sound and a golf course that lo

This course has been a welcome change from the tree-lined green courses that all look the same.

CB has a tree!

I really like the way this course looks, and I'm sure it's a lot of fun to play!


You must enjoy scoring 10 or 11 each hole

??? What is the leading score right now and how many guys are under par? Just curious. I get a kick how people are ripping the course difficulty yet there are more players under par than what you typically see at this stage in the U.S. Open.

Agree.  Plus the set up for normal golf at CB is a lot different. I think it would be a fun course to play.

Only 1 day to go for this terrible Golf Course. A shame to be nominated as  the 2015 US Open. Oakmont Country Club is having a party right now, what could be worse than this dump ? Sorry quarry.


This is definitely not the kind of golf we're used to seeing. The ultimate had to be when Dustin Johnson's shot into the the 8th green yesterday rolled off it then backwards down the cart path for bleedin' ever. It's just Silly Golf. Entertaining, but I'm glad we're getting back to normal next year, if the scariest golf course I've ever been on can be called normal.

What's normal? You do realize Oakmont is 20 times tougher than CB and the greens are a lot faster. The winning score at Oakmont in 2007 was +6. The U.S. Open is not normal golf....it's a challenge, and that's why many of us love it.

The golf course is ugly.  The greens are of very poor quality.  Good shots often are punished.  The course is not designed for live spectators.  One of the reasons that I may not like this US Open is because of the coverage by Fox.  Not a fan of Weiskopf.  The interviews by Holly Saunders are not professional.   Can't pick up the ball on the green on shots.  Most of all I hate the punishing 50 yard roll outs on shots that are not great, but not horrible.  The USGA has once again screwed up the national championship by making a course almost unplayable.

I didn't know @bogdan101 was a Tour Pro. My reply was to his comment " I really like the way this course looks, and I'm sure it's a lot of fun to play!" were I understood will be fun for amateur to putt from 20 feet and then putt again from 50 ft and finish with 6 putt + 5 to get there (maybe with a $ 50 extra caddie on your back pushing your four ball group toplay faster). Wouldn't be fantastic ?

That's fine if you call it ugly. No problem with that. But just don't call this golf course unfair and a joke when you have several guys under par and a guy who has played it 10-under par over a 30-hole stretch. This is the U.S. Open, not the John Deere Classic. Last I checked its supposed to be tough but if you play it right you can score well. That's exactly whats happening.

Normal is a course that has green grass, has discernible fairways and greens, and doesn't make you wonder if you're playing outdoor pinball.

And yes, I do realize all that about Oakmont. I haven't played it, but I've been on it. Like I said, scary.

It is what it is ... and it does get into your head over time. I think that is one of the purposes of the Open.

When a putter like Spieth misses that many makable putts in a round, the course is in his head.

The USGA is doing its job.

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
