Sven,
Interesting hole by hole analysis, I will offer rebuttal:
1. A strong cross-wind here would make holding the upper tier nearly impossible
Are you talking about holding the green? Because if you are, a wind from the south would only help it stay on, and a wind from the north would be neglible because the green is protected by a large dune.
5. With the added rough on the right of the fairway, and the fact you're hitting from an elevated tee, the fairway becomes a very small target
Its true a side wind would be tough here, but #5 is arguably the widest fairway on the entire course. There is plenty of room to accommodate even a strong cross wind.
7. This becomes a beast when played into a north wind, might be a better hole with a helping wind off the tee allowing for more of the dogleg to be cut off
This is a non issue because I can name several holes at PD alone that are also beastly as they play directly into the north wind. 1-3, 8, 12 and 13. To boot sure with a north wind this hole gets tougher but whats wrong with a tough par 4.5 hole?
9. This hole becomes a shit show with a 3 or 4 club wind from the south
This would be the one hole where I would concede, things could get crazy. But it is a drop shot hole with plenty of room to miss around the green. So there isn't anything instrinsically harder about it than playing #10 at Pac Dunes where from the elevated tee you also face stiff cross winds
10. Probably the hardest green on the course to hit with a cross-wind, and the narrowness of the green opening makes this a tough shot for a low runner
Yes the tee shot is exposed but the dunes block the wind on both sides coming from either the north or the south on the approach shot. A low running shot into the green would be virtually unaffected
13. Very similar to 4, although I wonder if there's enough room in the front of the green for running approaches
Like #5, this hole has tons of width off the tee and on the layup. And with a summer wind, that wind would certainly be helping somewhat on the drive and more on the approach. Either way there is plenty of room to work with
14. I would imagine there'd be a ton of folks playing the entire hole from the waste area on the left with a summer wind
I can agree they would have to be careful with tee placement in the summer time with this one. But thats a setup issue, not a course issue.
18. Another hole that becomes incredibly narrow with a cross-wind, just because of the bunkering
This hole has a lot more space than you think. In my one playing I pulled my drive left of that 1st fairway bunker on the left and still made birdie. The layup is a little tight, but once again, its a shortish par 5 so I don't seem the harm in a demanding layup, especially on the closing hole to finish the round
So once again, I really don't see any new issues being introduced at Chambers that don't already exist at Pacific Dunes alone, much less other tight areas that I've read about, especially on Bandon Trails. Yes 12 would be a beast...but thats it.
