The Running Y Ranch Resort

Overview: The Running Y Ranch Resort course is an Arnold Palmer Signature design in southern Oregon, winding through wetlands, pine forest and open mountain country near Klamath Falls. The resort describes it as Palmer’s only course in Oregon, with a layout that balances generous corridors against changing lies and natural hazards.

History: The course opened in 1997 and was designed by Arnold Palmer with Ed Seay and Erik Larsen. The wider resort property grew from a large ranch and destination development, while the golf course remained closely tied to the surrounding Oregon landscape.

Did You Know? Palmer included Running Y among the courses he considered part of his personal Sweet Sixteen. The official course description also places the resort near Crater Lake National Park, making the course a natural base for a wider southern Oregon golf trip.
