Landscaping underway on second Gamble Sands course

BREWSTER – The next evolution for the Gamble Sands golf course and destination resort will nearly double the size through the addition of a second, still-unnamed 18-hole course, expanded lodging facilities, and a new restaurant.

The new project, is being built on Gebbers family agricultural land just north of the 18-hole Sands and 14-hole Quicksands courses.

David McLay Kidd, owner of DMK Golf Design in Bend, Oregon, and designer of the Sands and Quicksands courses, has once again signed on for the new undertaking. Expected completion of the new expansion is summer 2025.

The location of the new course west of Sands Trail Road will feature the same panoramic view of the Columbia River and Cascade Mountains enjoyed by guests at the original resort.

The Gebbers family began considering a golf venture well over a decade before they finally had the consulting and design team assembled to pull the trigger on Gamble Sands’ construction in 2012.

The facilities at the Inn at Gamble Sands will be expanded from its current 37 rooms to 73.
