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.

- Nice club house and practice facilities. But, the course is way over rated and priced to high. The greens had recently been plugged and sanded. We were not informed by the staff at booking time. Still had to pay about $200 for 2 of us to play on a Monday. Would be a nice course at about half the price. By the way, they were not busy at all. Maybe that has something to say...…….Spectacular vistas and a great, fun Arnold Palmer Course. I found it addictive and play it regularly when traveling to Southern Oregon.
It is generous off the tee but putting is very challenging. My wife, a 12 handicap, enjoys a choice of 3 women's tee boxes.
