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.

The entire operation is under new management. They were over the top to see that our "play" was something to remember. They compted me 9- hole round

My wife had some post surgery issues and couldn't finish our 18 hole round. The course allowed me to play an additional round to compensate us. They also have a very challenging 18 hole putting area which will challlenge the best of any player. These putting rounds were "compted". Gave us free range tokens as well. The staff top to bottom were very accommodating. We scheduled a week trip back to Running Y for golf next year even before we left.

The course was the best shape it has ever been since I started playing there several years ago. It is a wonderful "destination venue".
