Chambers Bay's old spirit

GolfBargainOffers.com / 09/06

Golf was founded in Scotland on barren, coastal dunes that couldn't nurture crops. This land was practically useless for everything but golf. Back then, there was no modern maintenance equipment or steam shovels, so the holes were found through the dunes and not built.

These days, pure links land is hard to come by. There's only so much of it, and it's almost always environmentally protected.

On the other hand, Chambers Bay is a former gravel quarry site located just off the Puget Sound. Eventually closed, the abandoned mine was on scenic waterfront property near the city of Tacoma on land rendered practically useless.

County officials thought a golf course could be a valuable asset here for not only locals, but to spawn tourism (and possibly host a big-time professional event). Thus the course was conceived.
