Running Y Resort sits just across the California border, surrounded by the beauty of the Cascade Mountains. The challenging golf course was designed by Arnold Palmer and has been ranked as one of the top 100 public courses in the country as well as one of Oregon's best. When asked to pick some of his favorite designs, Running Y made the list. The golf course takes advantage of all the beauty of southern Oregon, preserving the landscape with such care that is was certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary. The layout features Palmer's signature fairways that are both curvy and receptive. The front nine wraps around Klamath Lakes and plays through dense woodlands while the back nine crisscrosses through Payne Canyon. The final holes are also laced with Scottish-style mounding and a few water hazards.

Great place, but Golfnow people are second class citizens.

This course is really nice. Good shape and very playable. Awesome views. With that, I left with a sour taste in my mouth. We made the tee time thru Golf now for 12:30. Our plans changed, so we arrived an hour and fifteen early. Go check in and asked if we could get out earlier. There were openings on the tee sheet for the next half hour. We we told that because we made the tee time thru Golf now that the time couldn't be changed. ?? There were only two of us and for the next hour we sat there and watched two twosomes go out. Apparently because we were able to book a great rate, not through them, we got punished by management. If they don't want to deal with Golf now then don't have your course on their system. All said and done common sense has left the building.

Pleasantly Surprised

Had wanted to play this track for a long time, but never had the chance till now. Am glad I played. Conditions overall were very good and really liked the layout. Course has some mild elevation changes, but nothing extreme. Water comes into play on a few holes. Clubhouse was very nice and service overall good. Would definitely play here again.

6-some!

My favorite course in the west but last week (7/22) we were behind a 6-SOME on the first hole and they were following a 5-SOME! They were probably locals but the pace was horrible. The pro shop said they didn't know - unforgivable.

Awesome!

If "The King" really was the one who designed this one (instead of his team), boy is it a beauty!

Greens in fantastic shape, very fast and have lots of slope. Holes 9 and 17 get much of the compliments, but the stretch of 3, 4, and 5 is what stood out!

I always try to walk courses, but this is not one of them. I knew there was LONG distances between holes, and happiily paid for the cart.

Great resort course, and just helps us remember that we have top courses in every corner (and between) of the state!

Great course but...

Great course. Played white tees which were too short. Perhaps green/white combo. Only writing this because back nine holes 11 thru 16 greens were shot and basically unplayable. Many muddy spots in fairways. Play front nine only.

Beautiful Arnold Palmer Signature Course

Played this course twice over the weekend on a group trip. The course has wide fairways and big greens, but trouble lurks along both sides if you get wild. Bunkers were not in the greatest shape, felt like you were hitting from dirt instead of sand. Deer and red tailed hawks are everywhere out there, and the scenery is beautiful everywhere you look. I found the refreshments at the club house incredibly overpriced, but enjoyed the golf experience greatly. Definitely worth the trip.

Southern Oregon gem

Wife and I played here using the stay-and-play package with the resort. The course is in great shape and the staff is helpful. From the whites, I would call the course tough but fair. It's a mountain course, with the requisite sloped fairways and mature trees, but does not feel claustrophobic. Several holes have excellent views. Signature hole is definitely nine, where the green is down, down, down. Staff at the resort could not have been more friendly and accommodating. Overall very impressive, and I certainly hope to play it again.

Good Fall Golf

Cool fall day for golf. The course was in great shape and the staff and other golfers friendly. The fairways had good roll and the greens were fast.

Hard Greens

A beautiful course, especially when played from the middle of the fairways. The fairway edges tend to be more difficult to play from (more sloped and more undulated).
The greens, though, are where the strokes add up: come in high or barely trickle the ball on, it's tough to make them hold. The putts roll too well, you need to leave yourself with uphill finishes.
Look forward to returning next spring!

Great Golf

An excellent and beautiful golf venue. They aren't using all of the original Arny tees, the tips, but you can see what he was thinking from there on every hole.

Nice green fairways.....

We checked in about 10 minutes before tee time, our vehicle broke down and had the repair facility ( in Klamath Falls) drive us to Running Y, just in time. The course is well maintained : green fairways, nice greens and tee boxes.. I would love to play this course again. All three of us agreed ( father, son and me)..
