Quicksands is laid out to the east of the Gamble Sands clubhouse, between the range and the entry road, on a 25-acre parcel of heaving and rolling sand dunes of which the team took full advantage.

We wanted to elicit whoops and hollers from everyone that plays.”Ĭrews broke ground on Quicksands in late winter 2020, with grassing taking place in June.
“Instead of making a small version of a full course, we decided to make a real big version of a putting course with wild shapes, semi-blind shots, a seamless grassed area. “Short courses are popping up everywhere from Pebble Beach to Pinehurst, we wanted Gamble Sands guests to share in the fun,” said McLay Kidd. To further elevate the fun, Quicksands will feature a course-wide sound system and a unique design that encourages group-to-group and cross-hole banter. With holes varying wildly from 60 to 180 yard and descriptively-named Plinko, Crater, Donut and Corkscrew, Quicksands will be a fun and challenging layout requiring imaginative and well-played shots. – Gamble Sands’ David McLay Kidd-designed Quicksands Course continues its grow-in as crews prepare the 14-hole short course for its Spring 2021 debut.
