Quicksands

QuickSands

Grab a handful of wedges, irons and a putter. Bring your friends. Hang on for a wild ride down into the valley of David McLay Kidd’s creative mind. QuickSands offers a rollicking golf experience over 14 par-3 holes that range from 60 to 180 yards. Putt from tees, play bank shots, search for that elusive hole-in-one — every kind of short-game shot you can imagine awaits in this walking-only amusement park.

Golf with a Twist

Yes, this is golf — but on a smaller scale than Gamble Sands’ two 18-hole courses. Instead of a driver, you’ll need to lean into your creativity and imagination. Quicksands is a brisk and enjoyable walk with anywhere from a single playing partner to an eightsome, where ever-present music ramps up the vibe.

Hole names like Plinko, Crater and Donut give you a sense of what you’re about to experience — and we’ll bet you’ll want to head right back to the first tee and try it all over again.

BOOK QUICKSANDS

Quicksands has a different twist—wild holes that are impossible to replicate on full course. If you ask for the yardage, you’re not getting the concept. It’s about reading the ground and imagining a shot, maybe it’s a chipped 7-iron or a low checking wedge. It might even be a putter off the tee or it could be every one of those shots in the same group.”

The Ultimate Golf Escape

There are few things more enjoyable than waking up, grabbing a coffee or breakfast, and walking to the first tee. But that’s exactly what Gamble Sands offers with its three award-winning courses, as well as its acclaimed putting course.

Wake up under the blue Washington sky and head out to tackle Scarecrow, Gamble Sands or Quicksands. After a day on the course, you can dine at one of our two restaurants, head back to the Inn at Gamble Sands and start all over again the next day.
