From its inception as Best New Course in 2014, Gamble Sands set out to offer a golf escape unlike any other. And more than a decade later, your unforgettable experience starts with two David McLay Kidd-designed 18-hole courses — our award-winning eponymous original design, and Scarecrow, our latest epic journey opening in August. Both are built on sandy soil with firm fescue grasses seeking — dare we say demanding — your creativity.
Experience The Extraordinary
There’s so much more to enjoy—play with friends on Quicksands, the DMK-designed short course, or grab a meal at Danny Boy for a rustic farm-to-table experience, or The Barn for casual chef-inspired pizzas. And then cap off the evening by the fire pits or testing your mettle on Cascade, a putting course with dazzling views of the mighty Columbia River.
Best of all, you can do it all again tomorrow!
“One of the most playable – and more importantly, fun – courses built this century.” That’s what one noted writer said about the resort’s original course, a firm and fast masterpiece that engages your passion and captivates your spirit.
As the name suggests, this isn’t your typical golf experience. The brilliance of Scarecrow is so alluring that you’ll walk off the 18th hole with the overwhelming desire to head right back to the first tee and try it all over again.
GRAB A HANDFUL OF WEDGES, IRONS, AND YOUR PUTTER, AND TAKE A SHORT WALK ALONG WHAT MAY BE THE MOST ENJOYABLE AND CREATIVE COURSE YOU’VE EVER PLAYED. FUN IS THE FOCUS ON DAVID MCLAY KIDD’S AMAZING 14-HOLE DESIGN.
IMAGINE THE BIGGEST PUTTING GREEN YOU’VE EVER SEEN — AND NOW GO BIGGER, WITH AN AMAZING VIEW. THAT’S CASCADE. INSPIRED BY THE HIMALAYAS AT ST. ANDREWS, THIS IS THE IDEAL SPOT FOR SETTLING THOSE AFTER-DINNER BETS AT SUNSET AND BEYOND.

Food & Drink
Ranching and farming has been at the heart of the Gebbers’ family business for more than a century, long before they opened Gamble Sands. That connection to the land can be tasted in the hearty, handcrafted dishes found in Danny Boy restaurant or The Barn. Sit down and enjoy the culinary experience, both inside and outdoors, overlooking the original course’s 18th green.
