Running Y Ranch
Running Y Ranch Resort: this excellently crafted Arnold Palmer design quietly weaves its way through a wonderfully natural environment close to Klamath Lake. Along the way you'll experience three pleasantly varied habitats. The front-nine loop takes you out to a scenic wetland area, before returning to the clubhouse through a more woodland setting. The back-nine loop also has its tree-lined holes, but also a large open linksy section where 10 and 11, and 17 and 18 head out-and-back to the clubhouse.
The layout gets off to a fabulous start as the opening stretch takes you out to a very scenic wetland area. Large sprawling tongued bunkers and smaller pot bunkers provide plenty of defences along the nicely rolling fairways and around the good-sized greens.
Plenty of mounds and moguls also give definition to the good-width holes, especially around the green complexes where the mounding becomes positively himalayan at times.
This well-maintained and attractive course fits well with its natural surroundings. The woodland sections, with liberal scatterings of juniper, oak, ponderosa pine and aspens, complement the more open wetland or links-style stretches.
Around the "turn"on the back-nine, desert-like areas beyond the holes are strewn with dark volcanic rock. There might not be any mountains in view, but the ever changing scenery ensures there's plenty to admire beyond this handsomely crafted course.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts available to rent.

Running Y Ranch is an Audubon International Certified Cooperative Sanctuary course. | The Ranch is located just 7 miles northwest of Klamath Falls in a wonderfully scenic part of Oregon, full of lakes, mountains, forests and open countryside. Klamath takes its name from the native American tribe that originally lived here.
Just 60 miles north of Klamath Falls is Crater Lake, one of the most stunning natural sights in the United States (well worth a big detour to visit). As the U.S. National Park Service accurately says: "Crater Lake combines a deep, pure lake, so blue in color; sheer surrounding cliffs, almost two thousand feet high; two picturesque islands; and a violent volcanic past. It is a place of immeasurable beauty ....."

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.
Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
Join us at The Dutch from August 21–24 for the Festival of Golf, featuring the HotelPlanner Tour. Experience four days of top-tier sport, live music, incredible food, and unexpected surprises.
