Must be the longest par 71 in the world..Getting excited already, bring it on.
The Par 71 layout measures a colossal 7,742 yards. The scorecard is intimidating with only four Par 4s at 436 yards or less and the other seven averaging 507 yards. The 11th hole is 539 yards and even with the prevailing wind off of the Puget Sound and the fescue fairways running fast and firm, it is a lot of real estate to cover.
Not only are the holes long, they are also wide, with fairways measuring anywhere from 28 yards to 105 yards in width. Some fairways have a vertical fall of 10-plus feet from one side to the other. The Robert Trent Jones design encourages imaginative and creative shot making that characterises links golf, particularly along the ground. On tee shots and around greens the idea is to use the roll of the ball as a central feature. Instead of a protective collar of rough to cushion the ball, there is little to stop the ball from rolling out, down, away and into trouble and at Chambers Bay trouble means vast stretches of sandy waste, primary rough or wispy, gnarly fescue that can go from ankle to knee high deep
