Sure I would, who wouldn't ? If i played golf like I did today I'm sure I would shoot a million there
Would you play Chambers Bay?

Yep. I'd play it. If it was in the current condition - I would then demand my money back. But in more normal times I imagine that it is an interesting and fun place to play.
If you hear pros complaining this much about the conditions of a course then no I personally would not play it - I will take Bethpage Black over Chambers Bay any day of the week...

Regardless of good or bad, I love playing courses with history. This would fit the bill and would love to play it some day

This is actually what bothers me about the US Open selection for Chambers Bay.
There's instant notoriety for a new course. All of the sudden, a course that the local government spent $20Million to develop will become a cash cow. It just doesn't sit well with me how this course obtained the U.S. Open nod.

Once to say I did it and never again if the greens are going to be like they were for the U.S. Open. Some of those greens are just inhumane. Punish a guy for hitting a foot past the hole or a foot short is ridiculous, but c'est la golf.

My parents are 10 minutes from Chambers Bay. I want to plan a trip to play their country club and Chambers Bay!

Wasn't trying to isolate your post. Just happened to make the "it's a US Open course" in it.
The layout does look very interesting. And it looks like a fun course.

I will also say that Pacific Dunes greens sucked when I played it. Still would go back in a heartbeat

I'd sure like to play it, but not for anything over 150 bucks. That's not Chambers Bay-related, I'm just not paying that kind of money to play golf. Anywhere.
I reckon the greens will be more friendly when the general public plays over there, and even though I think the design is flawed at several places, it's still a beautiful track at an even more beautiful spot.

Let's do it sometime boys! I'd play this course in the winter again in a heartbeat.
I also want to play at Bandon something FIERCE, but damn that is a long trip. It killed me that I was passing through last year and didn't have the time to play.
Weekend roap trip! Chambers Saturday and Bandon Sunday oh my that would be epic. I am down

I'm not sure if you realize how far away Bandon is exactly...almost a 7 hour drive from Chambers to Bandon, and Chambers is already 2.5 hours from Bellingham. We'd need at least 3 days, but ideally 4 or 5 to pull that off.
But hey, it's possible!
Gosh, yes. I would love to play there. I have family in the area and will have it on my mind as we plan out future visits.

Fat b4 the shafts were
I thought I read somewhere that it was "no carts". If that's the case, not a chance.
If it's tricked out to US Open conditions / length, not unless I'm winning a bet.
And finally, I'd have real issues justifying $250 for it. Same deal with Cabot Links.
I like a challenge, punishment not so much.

I don't have any desire to play that course after watching it on tv. I'm sure it would play much different under normal conditions, but it still doesn't interest me. Pebble beach or pinhearst would interest me but not chambers bay.
Thought it was only a handfull of hours, doh! I can always make extra time for nice courses
