amble Sands is a true links course set in the high desert of central Washington with sandy soil, traditional fine fescue grasses, firm playing surfaces, wide fairways, and massive green complexes. In the golf course’s planning stages, the resort’s owners took great care in choosing the best designer for the resort’s first course, and David McLay Kidd was selected. The Scotsman came with a prestigious list of accomplishments in the world of links golf that included the famed first course at Bandon Dunes and the Castle Course at St. Andrews. Gamble Sands offers a very playable experience that weighs in at 7,169 yards from the back tees and is akin to some of Kidd’s earlier work at Bandon, which emphasizes fun above all else. This is illustrated throughout the golf course, especially on the reachable par-4 2nd hole with its breathtaking views of the Columbia River and infinity green complex. With on-site lodging and true farm-to-table dining at Danny Boy Bar & Grill, GambleSands is fast becoming the West Coast’s next great links golf destination.
