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)..

Best course in the Klamath falls area.

Running y is simply the best course in the Klamath falls area. I've played all the other courses in the last month and running y is top notch. The course was in good shape, fairways were nice and green. The greens were fast, but fair. The value of the hot rate on golf now makes this the best value in the basin. Staff was very friendly and accomodating. The only negatives I would say are the fact that there were a lot of ball marks that were left unattended on the greens. That's more about inconsiderate golfers and the course can't control that. Beautiful course, can't wait to play again!

very cool course

Played here at the recommendation of a friend and was very pleased. The wife and I played the entire course by our selves, what a treat. Weather was ok. The course had good landing areas off the tee boxes, I played the yellows which was a help, play it forward. The greens were about as perfect as you could ask for. What a treat to putt on greens like those. Very friendly staff. Wait till you play hole #9 you will see what I mean if you get there. Looking forward to playing there again some day.

Course was in good shape.

Played the front nine without waiting on anyone. When we got to the back there was a foursome on the tee box. It took almost 3 hrs to play the back. We waited on every hole and by 14 we had 2 foursomes behind us waiting also.

Course is in great shape.

Fairways and greens were in great shape! The course was not crowded at all on the weekday. The views on this course are some of the best I've seen.

Great place to play

Everyone knows how picturesque the course is from the pictures, but it is so well maintained too. Definitely a challenging couse, but the lies and putting greens are very pure. Definitely play here at least once!

great gem good for all abilities

lots of tee box options. very fair to women. I appreciated the possibility of making it to the green in regulation. The only negative is the course is very dry, However, this is the result of the drought, not the course. Would definitely return.

Favorite place on earth!

We try to golf the Running Y every fall when the quaking aspens are floresent in color. If I could only golf one more time in my life time it would be at the Running Y. The course has everything from perfect manicured fairways and bunkers to very fast and true greens. The scenery is the most spectacular of any course not on the ocean. I highly recommend making this a part of your bucket list.

Beautiful Course

We thoroughly enjoyed our round as we waited for no one and the pro shop was able to get us out early. The course was in excellent condition and the weather was perfect. We will probably play there again if we're traveling through the area.

Great road trip course.

Playing at the Y is always something to look forward to. Most of the year it is overpriced so when Golfnow and the Y teamed up to have a $40 play with a cart special we had to take the offer. The caveat was that the weather was threatening but while we endured a few opening sprinkles, the sun was out for most of the round.

Finished the day with dining at Lake of the Woods. Had a great day.

A Most Enjoyable Golf Experience

Set amongst a large pine forest is one of the best maintained and challenging tracts in Oregon. Some of the holes have the characteristics of a links course while others are laid out among the pine trees in a typical parkland fashion. It's rated as a top 5 course for women golfers in the U.S.
The greens were smooth and very fast, at least 11 on the Stimpmeter.
The fairways were mowed nice and smooth so that a good drive got that extra roll. Add to the fact that you are playing at over 4000 feet elevation and you are carrying one or two clubs further.
An early morning tee time is pretty magical here. The greens keepers are all invisible here and that's a credit to management. With no wind or humidity, but a noticeable pine fragrance filling the air, it was an idyllic morning for golf.
There are lots of carries over lakes to tight greens, amazing elevation changes, especially hole #9 which goes straight down the mountain.
This is an enjoyable test of golf under perfect conditions. This tract is rated a top ten public course in Oregon and one of Arnold Palmer's favorite designs.
We were able to finish in just over three hours.
The pro shop guys are very friendly and helpful.
We enjoyed this course so much that we scheduled another round this week.

Outstanding Golf Course

Really enjoyed my first time on the course. The fairways are wide and forgiving. The course is in immaculate condition and the scenery around the course is wonderful. But the greens are another story. They are tournament fast and extremely difficult. You need to hit your approaches close to the hole to avoid long putts. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Can't wait to return and play again.

fun and challenging

Well maintained course . Greens are the best I've been around and probably the most challenging too. They seem ordinary from afar, but when you get there , you
you will find out they are not so simple. Had a great
time trying to figure them out. Loved the challenge.
