Challenging

The 10th hole at Chambers Bay Golf Course presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. This 398-yard test features a straight layout that plays longer than the yardage suggests, thanks to the course's exposed, windswept terrain overlooking Puget Sound. The tee shot calls for accuracy to find the fairway's sweet spot, setting up a crucial approach to a small, subtly contoured green that punishes wayward iron shots. Without significant hazards to frame the hole, golfers must rely on course management and club selection to navigate this strategic challenge. The green's compact size makes distance control paramount, rewarding those who can dial in their approach shots with birdie opportunities while penalizing aggressive play with difficult recovery shots.
