The Gebbers’ family designs their own new version of a Scarecrow to fly the flag of Gamble Sands Resort’s newest golf course.

Gamble Sands, the Top 100 golf resort located in Brewster, Washington, has unveiled the logo for its new Scarecrow Course, the much anticipated David McLay Kidd design scheduled to open to resort-guest and public play on August 1, 2025. The Scarecrow logo was designed by a member of the Gebbers family (owners of Gamble Sands) and features a tall, slender figure holding a flagstick.

“This is our Scarecrow – a friendly-yet-mysterious presence welcoming golfers to this bold new DMK design. The Gebbers family wanted our Scarecrow to look and feel almost human, like he might appear in the fairway at any moment for a few swings before retreating back into the apple trees that still line the golf course, resuming his duties as defender of the fields.”

Built on 300 acres of rumpled and rolling terrain where cornfields once stretched, Scarecrow overlooks the Columbia River Valley, while watching over the neighboring apple and cherry orchards of the Gebbers’ family farm. The corn is gone but the Scarecrow still stands, serving as a defender of the fertile soil’s new purpose. In Scarecrow, McLay Kidd and design associate Nick Schaan have transformed a twisted saddle of undulating land and river-view ridgeline into what golfers will soon come to find as a counterpart yet contrasting experience to Gamble’s original and award-winning Gamble Sands Course.
