South Puget Sound
South Puget Sound is a short, links-heavy golf trip hiding in plain sight below Seattle. The headliner is Chambers Bay—Robert Trent Jones Jr.'s public links built into a former sand-and-gravel quarry on the water, big enough to have hosted the 2015 U.S. Open. Twenty minutes south in DuPont sits The Home Course, the shared home of Washington Golf and the Pacific Northwest Golf Association and a Mike Asmundson links that's a genuine championship test in its own right.
Together they make a tidy one- or two-night trip rather than a resort week: two firm, fescue links a short drive apart, both public, both a fraction of destination-resort green fees. Base yourself around Tacoma, play Chambers walking-only and The Home Course with a cart if the legs need it, and you've got a South Sound links double that punches well above its price.
