Situated high above the Columbia River in Brewster, Washington, Gamble Sands is a premier golf destination renowned for its stunning links-style courses designed by acclaimed architect David McLay Kidd. The flagship Sands Course, opened in 2014 and named Golf Digest’s Best New Course, features firm and fast fescue fairways, massive greens, and expansive natural sand bunkers, offering a true links experience reminiscent of Scotland’s finest. The course’s open, treeless layout on a sandy mesa provides dramatic vistas of the Columbia River Valley, with playable yet challenging holes that reward creative shot-making for golfers of all skill levels. Complementing the main course, the 14-hole Quicksands short course and the sprawling Cascade putting course, inspired by St. Andrews’ Himalayas, add unique, fun-filled options for players seeking variety.

Beyond the Sands Course, Gamble Sands is set to unveil Scarecrow, a second 18-hole Kidd-designed course in August 2025, further elevating its reputation as a top golf resort. The resort’s commitment to a pure golfing experience is enhanced by its walkable design, tour-level caddies, and minimal earth movement during construction, preserving the natural terrain. Off the course, the Inn at Gamble Sands offers comfortable accommodations with breathtaking views, while dining options like Danny Boy Bar & Grill and The Barn serve farm-to-table cuisine reflecting the Gebbers family’s agricultural heritage. With its blend of world-class golf, scenic beauty, and welcoming atmosphere, Gamble Sands delivers an unforgettable escape for enthusiasts seeking both challenge and enjoyment.
