Gamble Sands - Scarecrow

• 🏆Best New Public Course — Golf Digest
• 🏆Best New Resort Course — Sports Illustrated

Scarecrow at Gamble Sands is a David McLay Kidd design that opened in August 2025, perched above the Columbia River Valley in central Washington. Named Best New Public Course of 2025 by Golf Digest and Best New Resort Course by Sports Illustrated after just 80 days of operation. The layout features wide fairways, dramatic elevation changes, and panoramic views of the surrounding desert landscape. It debuted at No. 73 on Golfweek's Top 200 Resort Courses — expected to climb as more raters experience it.
