I was fortunate to play 36 at Chambers just last Friday--it is absolutely stunning--the most authentic links-type course I've ever played in this country--right down to the mixed-use trail full of joggers and baby strollers that bisects the property, remindful of Royal Dornoch or the Old Course. I will also add the level of service is extraordinary. From the shuttle drivers, starters (mellow, not manic) pro shop staff, etc. There to help as needed, but none of the cloying, in-your-face obsequiosness one often encounters at high-end daily fee courses with bag attendants, outside service staff, etc.
It's a shame about the tree, but it's a slight marketing ploy by the PR department referring to it as the "lone tree." There are other groves of trees on the course (I think on the shortish, uphill par-4 12th, for example) Too bad the greens are total Velcro at the moment. Only place I've played where the caddies use the phrase "ramming speed" for any putt over 30 or 40 feet!
