BREWSTER, Wash. — Scarecrow, the new golf course at Gamble Sands Resort in Brewster, Washington, has been named “Best New Public Course of 2025” by Golf Digest and the “Best New Resort Course” by Sports Illustrated.
Global golf-related hospitality company Troon manages the course. It wrote in a press release that Scarecrow opened for public play on August 1, and after only being open 80 days in 2025, has wowed raters and guests with its stunning, fun-to-play layout overlooking the Columbia River Valley.
The new Golf Digest honor comes 11 years after it named the property’s original Gamble Sands Course “Best New Public Course of 2014.”
The Golf Digest rankings of best new public, private, renovation and transformation will appear in the February print issue of the magazine and are currently on GolfDigest.com.
