History
Gamble Sands in Brewster, Washington, designed by David McLay Kidd and opened in 2014 on the dramatic sandy plateaus above the Columbia River, is one of the most celebrated public golf destinations to open in America in the 21st century. Kidd found an extraordinary site of sandy semi-arid terrain with dramatic views of the Columbia River gorge below, building a course that plays firm, fast, and links-like in the high desert air. Its combination of spectacular setting, supremely playable design, and accessible pricing has made it a cult destination and a regular presence in national rankings.
Signature Hole
12th hole, par 4, 430 yards — a sweeping downhill dogleg with the Columbia River gorge visible far below the sandy bluffs
