Just wrapped up my round.

I really enjoyed the round. The views are pretty incredible from almost all points of the course. They redid the greens a year ago to poa. They were pristine. Rolled great and as advertised pretty hard to read.

Here is a link to some pics

The course got way too much hate. The greens were obviously a problem, but I prescribe to the great-courses-yield-great-tournaments philosophy. The Top-10 was a who’s who of the 2010’s:

Speith
DJ
Adam Scott
King Lois
Shane Lowery
Sends
Day
McIlroy

5 world #1’s and 14 major championships in the top 10


Course looked great on TV too.

The course is really good, but the greens were atrocious that week and the USGA was a clown show that week

It was also FOX's first US Open coverage as well. It was brutal.

Spieth didn’t have that much of an issue. It was only crybabies like Horschel who made a big deal out of it

I got to play it a few years ago. It’s absolutely gorgeous out there. Staff was really nice too, had a marshal in a cart follow me and my BIL for the back nine shuttling is between holes to help us finish our round before dark.

It's a lot easier to putt on bad greens when you have one of the better iron games of all time that week

This is almost comical that you posted this because I played it for my first time the day before you and was gonna post about the same. I thought it was hard as hell but still a very enjoyable round because of the views and atmosphere

I’d much rather chambers bay 2015 instead of a -13 winner like this year
