Description
The U.S. Open is owned and conducted by the United States Golf Association. Under contract with the USGA, Pierce County will lease Chambers Bay to the USGA to serve as the venue for the 115th U.S. Open, June 18-21, 2015, marking the first time the U.S. Open will be held in the Pacific Northwest!
Just as the game of golf itself has a rich history, so does the land on which Chambers Bay was created. The Chambers Creek Properties is comprised of over 950 acres located along the shores of the Puget Sound, in University Place, Washington. While Pierce County's 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 name Chambers Bay, was derived from Thomas Chambers, a judge and one of the first settlers of the area, and the Bay of Puget Sound on which the course resides.
