It gets better each time you play it!

Five sets of tees make it playable for all abilities. It is very forgiving off the tee, but hole locations can make or break you. The greens rolled great, but even though there is not much undulation in them, they are tricky because of the subtle slopes. Very scenic, and the changes in elevation make it even more so, and add to the challenge. It's always good for the ego playing at this course because the ball does carry quite well being at a higher elevation. You are bound to see deer somewhere during your round. A great driving range and practice area, so get there early,.

Terrific course

I live in Roseburg and have really wanted to play the Running Y Ranch course for many years. Today, I bit the bullet and drove the three hours down to the course using a reservation via golfnow.com.

I arrived about 20 minutes before my tee time. The staff was professional and kind. The starter was very personable and chatty. I liked him right away. Neither was in any way pretentious and I felt right at home immediately. Kudos to them.

I began my round and noticed right away how green the course was. This was surprising considering the drought we have in Oregon and my local courses are quit dry and brown. I arrived at the first tee box and noticed immediately how flat it was and how well maintained it was. This theme was consistent throughout my round. I really appreciate courses that maintain their tee boxes. It seems to be a dying trend.

The fairways were all in very good shape. Nice and green and I didn't notice too many divots. The greens looked as if they would have been very good. They looked like they would have been smooth and fast. I really can't comment because the greens had a dusting of sand applied to them. I know they did it to save the greens from the heat, but because the greens weren't perfect, it's my only complaint. Again, I could tell they were well maintained and would have been a lot of fun. That was the only downer.

Big props to the young folks in the pro shop. I was stung by a bee on the fifth hole. It flew up my shorts and stung me on my inner thigh. OUCH! After I played the ninth, I went into the pro shop and asked for a first aid kit. The two young folks there literally dove into a closet to gather the things that I needed to treat the sting. I was impressed. They even had some special ointment for bee stings. That stuff was nice! Thanks again, guys.

The course overall was terrific. I like to take day trips to courses around the state and the Running Y is definitely in the rotation. Play it. You won't be disappointed.

Beautiful challenging course!

Really nice AP designed golf course with 5 tee boxes and beautiful views on almost every hole. Pace of play was leisurely at best, but I did play on a holiday weekend. Marshall's were great, but the rest of the staff were just average.If your in this area, you should find time to play this course.

Great layout by Palmer

Course was in great shape including fantastic rolling greens. Layout is challenging. Might want to play the tees behind the white so as to use fairway woods a bit more. Wish I was here to play the course again

A Gem in Klamath Falls

This golf course is one of the most beautiful we have played. My wife and I take our clubs with us on driving trips and search the Internet for courses at the places we stop. Sometimes we find great ones, and this one is near the top of the list.
The staff was friendly and helpful and the value for the price is excellent. I highly recommend this course.

We did not stay at the resort but definitely would if we ever get back to Klamath Falls. If you prefer a quiet, out of town resort, you will like Runnig Y Ranch.

Great course!!!

I've lived an hour away and have missed out on a rare gem in southern Oregon. Almost every hole could be a signature hole.. I could not stop taking pictures! The greens were fast and true. And the course overall was in tournament condition! I can't say I was very impressed with my score.. But no worries... I will redeem myself with one of the many future rounds I will be playing!
All hail the KING!!!

One of my best golf rounds ever

It helped that it was perfect weather - sunny with a light breeze - and that I was playing some of my best golf in years, but the course is tremendous. It is not the most difficult course in the world, but it has some fair challenges. (If you want very difficult, play from the Arnold Palmer tees - way, way back.) I could say something good about almost every hole. Two stand out: The ninth hole offers a thrilling downhill tee shot. The tee on the 16th hole offers one of the most beautiful views I have ever seen. On pace of play, we played behind one group that moved promptly and very seldom slowed us down, and no one was behind us. I hope my positive review does not cause lots more people to play.

This course is very diverse

My buddy and I decided to make the trip to Klamath Falls after becoming overly tired of the same old courses in Medford. We couldn't have made a better decision. This course had a lot of different holes. Hole 9 was awesome! The down slope of that fairway is real! My driver was a little shakey all day so I went with a 4 iron and had a 40 yard chip shot left. If you haven't played this Arnold Palmer designed course, I recommend you do so!

Spectacular experience!

Beautiful course, with creativity and uniqueness evident on each of the 18 holes. The course winds gently through the terrain utilizing the mountains slopes and altitudes. The greens are well maintained and fast! A wonderful experience which we plan on repeating!

Beautiful layout, lake views, open area, forest play

Stayed at RunningY for the week with family, got to to play one day and unfortunely the weather wasn't the best. The course was surprisingly in go shape for first week of April, greens were slow but it,s to early to cut and roll. I would love to stay on a golf vacation for 3 or 4 days in the summer.
