MUST-SEE GOLF COURSES:
Chambers Bay Golf Course, University Place
In August 2010 Chambers Bay will be the first public course to host the 2010 U.S. Amateur. This is a course where golf isn't just a game, it's an experience. It keeps the traditions of golf offering a stunning tribute to the historic links of Scotland. This Pure Links Golf Course has surrounding views of the Puget Sound worth bragging to your friends about. The course is also endorsed by Audubon International as being a Silver Signature Sanctuary [the first in the Pacific Northwest]. In 2015 it will host the U.S. Open. More Info

The Home Course, DuPont
Opened in early summer of 2007, The Home Course was recognized by GolfWeek Magazine as the No. 2 ranked "Best Public Course in Washington." This walkable layout has panoramic views of Puget Sound, the Olympic Mountains and Mount Rainier. Rolling fairways and contoured greens give golfers a challenge similar to Chambers Bay. It is also the assisting site of the 2010 U.S. Amateur. More Info
