5/18 Update: Chambers Bay is excited to welcome back starting times of up to four players. This information came late last week from the Governor’s Office. We have spent the weekend reaching out to groups booked in the month of May to inform them of the update and to allow them the opportunity to fill the group. With this complete, our full offer of starting times are now available. We would encourage all to take the opportunity to join us on the links as the course conditions are in championship condition. Through the first 13 days of operating guests have been elated delivering a course condition score of 9.5/10.

This update to foursomes has presented the unique task of managing our tee sheet in a manner that is safe for all. For all of us golfers, during “normal times”, we operate with an understanding that making a reservation for less than four players means you are either joining a group that has already reserved the same time or that other players may join. These are certainly not “normal times”. With golf being played in an outdoor space where social distancing can be maintained through a conscious effort by all we will continue to manage tee times to the capacity of four players per starting time. For those booking less than four, this may lead to others joining your group. If you are a group of two or a single keep in mind you may be pairing with a group already reserved. For those groups of less than four players looking for accommodations to play in less than four, we will ask for flexibility. Please contact the golf shop (253-460-4653 x5) to make this request with the understanding that this might require moving to a starting time during a part of the day where there is less demand; some days we may not be able to accommodate this request.

Additionally, we are excited to welcome back public access to our Academy Practice Center. Day passes are available for $25 or we offer many membership programs with range access included. The Academy Practice Center is available six days a week (closed Wednesdays); Thursday through Monday 10:00am – 6:00pm, and Tuesday 11:00am – 6:00pm. Warm up range use is included with your green fee prior to your round, however, we still ask that you limit time to this space to 30 minutes prior to your tee time.

We continue to pride ourselves in our ability to create and maintain a safe environment from start to finish from contactless check-in either over the phone (253-460-4653 x5) or in the golf shop to self-transportation to the first tee (suspended shuttle service) and window service at our turnstand location. With this information and the request of all to maintain proper social distancing practices, we believe Chambers Bay is a safe space for all to enjoy. We look forward to seeing you out on the links.
