- I got OWNED by Chambers Bay Golf Course. The good; Golf is back in Washington, the bad; I played so BAD. Either way, it was a great day golfing at a course that is a true gem in the PNW.
Being opening day of golf, I headed down to Chambers Bay Golf Course. Never have played the course; so I thought it would be a great way to get back to golf. Walking the course in 70 degree weather, with the sights, sounds, and smells of the course were great for the soul. Enjoy the round and Keep Seeking Birdies!

Started this journey at 24.5 Handicap; currently a 12.7, seeking to be a better golfer. Seeking Birdies is a name that I think sums up the Channel. No one goes golfing and wants to get bogeys. Everyone wants Birdies. I’m Seeking Birdie Golf.
I do not claim to be a golf professional; nor do I claim to know everything. I started this channel to combine my hobbies of golf and photography/videography. I’m always looking to learn and grow in the game of golf. All comments and insight are greatly appreciated. I look forward to the journey!

What course have you played and you just fell apart?
Seeking Birdies Golf - Chambers Bay... the first time I played it! Absolutely chewed me up and spit me out. Loved every second, though!
@@ronnielee3 Funny how golf can frustrate you and make you fall more in love at the same time. Sounds like an unhealthy relationship! haha
I'm starting to get back into golf. I played a little when I was a younger teenager, now heading into Fall a HS senior. I've been playing just north of Chambers Bay at Highlands Golf Course- par 3 public nine, but it's a great starting challenge for me and my friends to work on. My goal personally is to work at golfing this Summer and into next year, when I can be somewhat comfortable tackling on Chambers Bay in Summer 2021, regardless of how I do.
New Castle China Creek. Nothing worked.
Chambers back locked up on 15
Playing here for my first time in two weeks...can't wait. Great video. Go Knights.
Go Knights! haha, Great to hear from you. Enjoy your round down at Chambers!
Play this on WGT and recognise every hole. Looks very familiar. Shot a 68 this morning on Tournament Speed greens (12). Best here is 65... par 71. 1st is par 4.
3:10 would've liked to see you attempt that putt. I'm not convinced it was a gimme
The way I played that day, I'm not sure it was a gimme either! haha
Damn get the putting practice in. Thanks for the video
Ha! Tell me about it... It was a rough day; I need to go back for redemption.
Great content! I can't wait to get down there for a round
Thanks Gabe! I will definitely be going back down this summer!
I work at chambers now, and they offer us free golf, im not the best at it but i do want to get out there and play the coures
Great video! Chambers is magnificently frustrating - but I’ve heard it gets better every time you play. At that rate, I’ll need another few trips around to get sub-90 🤪
Haha, I'm looking at ALOT more loops to get under 90...
I would highly recommend having a caddie the first time you play the course due to how hard the course really is
Then again I’m not sure if caddies are for service right now with covid
Definitely great advice! Will definitely look into it next time I'm down there.
Going to Play here in a month, dad lives in Lynnwood and online classes due to Covid are allowing me to spend a whole month up there. Also heard there are great courses in Cle Elum and Walla Walla, can’t wait. Great video! Keep it up.
54imawesome that’s awesome! Chambers is definitely a course that makes you appreciate the game. A lot of fun and beautiful views, it’s walking only so be prepared. Suncadia over in Cle Elum has some great courses, a lot of elevation change. Enjoy your visit! Thanks for the support
Seeking Birdies Golf thank you!! Do you happen to know how the green change from Fescue to Poa Changed the course? Am a 1.7 Handicap but will not lie, I am intimidated by this place.
I did not get to play the course prior to the change, so I don’t have insight on a comparison. At a 1.7, you will enjoy the challenge of the course.
I live right next to chambers bay! Love playing this course! If you ever want someone to play with I'm always looking for people to tee off with! 😂
Next time I'm down there, I will let you know!
Hello Andrew
I will be visiting at the end of May and would really enjoy a seasoned veteran to play with at Chambers Bay. I will be by myself. Please get in touch with me if you are interested via email rdkilgore61@yahoo.com
Thanks Andrew.
You see this was not at tournament speeds when they played in in 2015 the greens were so fast it looked like concrete
The 12th is easily drivable but a very contoured multi level green. Bet some didn’t need driver to reach, even an iron for big hitters.
You should do a vlog playing Washington National Golf Course in Auburn. It's a great course. :)
Playing Highlands in UP if you’d love to join?
Great job Tyson. I’ve been playing for 8 months and aspire to play as poorly as you. ; )
Hey, thanks! It was a rough day but a lot of fun. Stick with it and just enjoy yourself!
The classic is the best public course in this area in my opinion lake spanaway is the easiest I think I can reach all the par 5's in 2 lol
Question for dude making this vid...what are your overall thoughts on Chambers Bay as a golf track?
I like it. It is a unique course for the PNW compared to the other courses; providing variety. Some holes are very straight forward, while others are long and challenging. Its not a course I would play every week, but a few times a year is great!
Wow! Those greens looked tough. Should be interesting to see how my putts look when I get back out there (gotta wrap up my honey-do list first).
They were tough. They rolled consistently but with the large greens, if you didn’t get your approach close, you had some work left to do.
Instantly not recommending this channel. You aren’t even telling truth about what holes par really is.
Get a routine, dude. You seam to just go up to it and hit it. You need to get a routine, like 2 two practice swings with a swing thought, like concentration on the take Bach angle, then address the ball the same way EVERYTIME, lining it up to your target (not always the pin) and get comfortable over the ball and swing smoothly yet firmly. Ps that’s $25 thanks.
How are you liking the Jones bag? I want to get one myself
LOVING it. In Washington, with the new rules for golf; walking the courses is way more comfortable. I would definitely buy it again knowing what I know now!
looking at Jones bag as well, how does it perform on a cart? Any special cart pass thru system that enable free access to pockets?
Rick Shane I got a utility trooper and it’s great to carry, lightweight and comfortable straps. I have used it on a cart too: it has pieces of fabric at the top that the strap slots through so your bag stays nice and tight, doesn’t wobble around while you ride. As long as you set it in the right spot so you can get to the pockets you want to, then you’ll be set
Todd Roshong - thanks Todd for the feedback. Did u look at Ogio Convoy SE as well?
You’ve got too good a swing to not break 100...stick with it. The talent in the swing shows...just need to refine it which will come with time
Hey! Thanks Jay! Yeah, I think I was a little out of sorts playing Chambers, between the camera and the beauty of the course, I was a little distracted. I’m hoping to get back down there soon for a rematch! Thanks for the support!
Greens still look slow...
#1 has never been a par 5 bro wtf are you talking about
They actually changed it sometime after I made this video. Google “Chambers Bay hole #1 par change” and you will see!
See the article from Golf.com from 2021
golf.com/travel/courses/chambers-bay-controversial-us-open-host/?amp=1
No. 1 plays down toward the water, yielding an early scoring opportunity (unlike the pros, civilians play it as a par-5).
Thanks for the comments! Just commenting on my video 2 times recommends my video way more than you know on the algorithm. Every interaction, thumbs up or down, comments help promote the video! So thank you for caring so much about my video!
I can't believe you called this "in the seattle area". As a mossy mountain boy from the backwoods of Graham, and making my living out of Tacoma, don't ever compare us to those soy boys lol. Love the video though, I've only had the pleasure of playing this difficult course once. The $250 course fee is a bit steep for me.
What a great course...could there be many better places to return to golf?!?
Highland in Cosmopolis
