Golfweek’s Best: Gamble Sands | Golfweek

Gamble Sands, the centerpiece of Brewster, Washington, is located on 115 acres of fine fescue grasses designed by renowned architect David McLay Kidd.

Here, golfers enjoy the feeling of pure golf with panoramic vistas, and the beautiful Cascade Mountains and Columbia River meandering through the distance on every hole. There are no distractions – no airplanes buzzing overhead, no traffic noises in the background – just you, your playing partners and golf the way it’s meant to be played. It’s little wonder why the course is ranked No. 19 on Golfweek’s list of Best Courses You Can Play in the United States.

QuickSands is a 14-hole par-3 short course – where holes range from 60 to 160 yards – that is available to play from May-October for as many as eight at a time. Grab four clubs, your putter and take an entertaining stroll along a creative experience that provides nothing but good vibes. The property also has a 100,000 square foot Cascade Putting Course, a wildly shaped putting adventure that sits on a bluff high above the Columbia River Gorge. It’s inspired by the Himalayas Putting Course at St. Andrews and McLay Kidd’s goal was to allow golfers and non-golfers alike to use this to enjoy the game together. It’s a perfect spot for all the family.
