Ahead of the Aug. 1 opening of its highly-anticipated David McLay Kidd-designed Scarecrow Course, Gamble Sands on June 3 will open 40 new double-king rooms at The Inn at Gamble Sands. The new golf-view rooms overlook Scarecrow – the second 18-hole layout at Gamble Sands.
In addition, the golf resort, located in Brewster, WA., recently launched a new website at Gamblesands.com, showcasing the stunning Gamble Sands property through video and imagery, while providing visitors with the opportunity to build, price and book custom golf trip itineraries.
With the addition of the 40 new double-king rooms, The Inn at Gamble Sands now has a total of 77 luxury rooms, including 37 river-view rooms which overlook the Columbia River. Each of the rooms at The Inn offer spacious accommodations with walk-in showers, large screen televisions, mini fridges, coffee makers, and private patios.
Guests staying in the new golf-view rooms can also do pre- or post-round putting practice on a new putting green located adjacent to the new lodging units.
This summer, Gamble Sands will also debut a new onsite shuttle service to help guests get to and from The Inn, the clubhouse/F&B complex, the golf courses and the Cascade Putting Course.
Designed by Matchplay Marketing, the new Gamble Sands website provides visitors with helpful information on all of the golf options at Gamble Sands, including the new Scarecrow Course, the original Gamble Sands Course, the Quicksands Short Course and the Cascade Putting Course. Visitors can also explore room options at The Inn at Gamble Sands, check out the on-site dining choices, book tee times and stay and play packages, shop for logoed merchandise, and more.
With 50 holes of golf, including two 18-hole McLay Kidd-designed courses and a 14-hole McLay Kidd-designed short course, a 100,000-square-foot Cascade Putting Course, as well as multiple food and beverage options, Gamble Sands is one of the country’s premier golf destinations. Built on 300 acres of rumpled and rolling terrain where cornfields once stood, 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. Scarecrow will play to a par of 71 and stretch to 6,900 yards.
