Well, that's what I thought was an issue with holding the tournaments at the golf course, there's no real easy way.

But if you can find Dupont Steilacoom Rd (exit 119 off I-5), follow it all the way into Steilacoom, to Lafayette St (the only stop sign). Hang a right and it will turn into Chamber's Creek Rd. Follow that until you reach a stop sign (note the lift bridge along the way). Turn Left on to 64th St (Chamber's Creek Rd goes to the right). Follow 64th through one roundabout and a turn to the right. The next roundabout is the golf course entrance. There is a road that runs past the parking lots for the golf course and the pro shop, and runs down the hill to another parking lot. The bridge is a 4-5 minute walk across a large lawn. Never had any problem parking there, but wouldn't leave valuables in plain sight.


All told, it's about a 10 mile drive and about 20 minutes.
