TEE BOX The par-four tenth hole at Scarecrow, a new course by DMK Golf Design at Gamble Sands in Washington State, photographed by Brian Oar. The resort will hold a soft opening of the course in August 2025, joining the original Sands layout and the 14-hole Quicksands course, which opened in 2014 and 2021 respectively. “On the Scarecrow’s front nine, you start inland from the riverfront and you’re completing it on the par-three ninth with probably the biggest view on the golf course,” said David McLay Kidd. “This infinity par three looks down 20 miles of the Columbia River Gorge. I mean, it is just breathtaking. “And then the back nine begins along gulches and the river’s edge, with a lot of drama, a lot of heroic shots, before really building towards a big crescendo.” THE BIG PICTURE 14
