The Cascade Golfer Dream 18

Chambers Bay
No. 9 Par 3 202 yards (Sand)

While Lone Fir, the iconic 15th, is Chambers Bay’s most photographed par-3, it’s the ninth that we find ourselves looking forward to the most. With the yawning canyon of sand swallowing anything short, and the wind blowing in off of Puget Sound, your best play is often to knock an iron to the front left apron, and let the ball run up onto the green and back to the hole. The tee box more than 100 feet above the green extends almost 60 yards, allowing greenskeepers to set the tees anywhere from 160 to 220 yards away. Bring a forecaddie, or some local knowledge, and let ‘er rip. — B.B.
