It's pretty tough to walk for several holes in the back, up hill all the way and long.
Avoid the sandy waste area at all cost, full of foot prints and very difficult to advance the golf ball. Green fee had gone up 14% comparing to last year's already and w/ the 2010 U.S. Amateur and 2015 U.S. Open, we'd expect the green fee keeps going up.
It's a muni course but the green fee is not even close to the muni level, quite high for this area in a matter of the fact; $130 for weekdays and $171 for weekends + 17% of sales tax and luxury tax on top, it's not an average Joe's Muni for certain.
If you ever get to play it, don't forget to play the Home Course for the PNGA and WSGA less than 30 minutes away in Dupont The Home Course not the same caliber but a good golf course for the money.
I believe both course offer hald price green fee for replay.
Chambers Bay does not allow golf cart walking only, at Home Course you could ride for the replay if you wish.

We played the Chambers Bay the first month it opened in last Summer, played it twice that day and it was pretty tired during the second round, but what a great day for golf. We played all three new public golf courses in the State in 2007, Chambers Bay, the Home Course, and White Horse. All rated highly.
One of the best golf experience I had at Chambers Bay, went back last month to play the winter rate there at 50% off.
My buddy's camera was not as new as my own ( I had forgot to bring mine that day ). Two of us are from Bellevue and two are from North Seattle.
We played all over the State however, some of us ( 90+ ) will play all over the world.

Is it too early to pick Tiger to win this?

Nope as long as you agree to even money odds.
