Stirring Natural Beauty

Tucked along the southwest shores of Upper Klamath Lake in the shadow of the regal Cascade mountain range, the Running Y Ranch Resort dates back to the late 1800s when pioneers transformed the wild countryside to farmland, and farmland into a working cattle ranch.

Running Y covers 6,000 acres devoted to outdoor activities.

The property is surrounded by rugged terrain that is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. To the southeast, in Oregon's Outback, antelope, bighorn sheep, and mule deer clamber up rocky slopes. In the wetlands, pelicans, herons, swans, and the largest concentration of wintering Bald Eagles provide world-class bird watching.

Ideal for Outdoor Activities
Running Y is working to preserve this delicate ecosystem by restoring up to 1,440 acres of former marshland to its original state, providing not only additional water-cleansing capabilities for the lake, but also recreational opportunities for hikers, bird watchers, and canoeists.

The Klamath Lake area is a canoeist's dream come true.

The Ranch is paradise for canoeists in particular. Push off at the resort's north end, near the golf course’s 5th tee. Paddle across Klamath Lake's glassy surface or along ancient Native American canoe routes to one of Klamath Basin's seven bird sanctuaries. The Canoe Trail of Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge offers guided interpretive canoe tours.

Where the fly-fishing is the best.

You can take a Self-Guided Nature Tour on foot or by bike along Upper Klamath Lake (Oregon's largest natural lake) into Caledonia Marsh, where you’ll discover a diverse population of wildlife such as mountain chickadee, coyotes, mule deer, and more.

Naturally Splendid Golf
Given such a magnificent natural environment, the golf course had to be not only well-designed, but it also had to carefully integrate itself within the environmentally sensitive Oregon landscape. As a member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System, the course also helps preserve and enhance the environmental quality of the property.

Arnold Palmer and his design team succeeded and then some. The Running Y Ranch Golf Course is consistently recognized as one of the best in the state and is ranked No. 51 in the Top "100 Public Courses in America," by Golf Digest, 2003/2004.

An award-winning course with stunning views.

The front nine takes you through flowing meadows and restored wetlands. On the back nine you’ll play beside lakes, woodlands and into Payne Canyon. With five tee boxes at each hole, this memorable track welcomes skills of all levels. As a member of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System, the course also helps preserve and enhance the environmental quality of the property.

Your golf fees cover the use of The Clubhouse, which features a fully-equipped golf shop where you can sign up for lessons, rent a set of clubs, shop for men and women's apparel, or just chat with the friendly pros at the Snack Bar.

Homes enjoy golf, water and mountain views.

Running Y offers a number of pre-designed semi-custom homes. Created to complement the slope configurations of their hillside locations, all homes offer panoramic views of the valley below.

Running Y’s low-maintenance 3- and 4-bedroom townhomes feature golf course and lake vistas or private forest settings. They are ideal for either a permanent or second home.

The newest offering at Running Y is The Meadows, a custom home community of estate homesites. This extraordinary neighborhood represents some of Running Y’s finest offerings, with homesites averaging over three-quarters of an acre in size and featuring expansive views of Klamath Lake, nearby city lights and the Running Y Ranch.

Another option are the Pelican Springs Chalets. These charming, ridge-top “cabin in the pines” Chalets offer spectacular views of Klamath Lake, distant mountains, nearby valleys and the golf course fairways. Available in either two- or three- bedroom models, with or without garages, with tall windows and decks, they represent exceptional values.

Quality Construction
Each builder at The Running Y Ranch Resort is backed by a history of sound principles, quality workmanship, and satisfied customers, according to the members of the Running Y sales and marketing team. For example, sales executives have worked with CCORP Companies at its Eagle Crest Resort and now at The Running Y, resulting in some of the most spectacular custom homes on the property. CCORP boasts half a century of experience. 

Abundant Natural Treasures
Running Y’s lakeside location offers you easy access to many of Oregon great natural wonders. Begin your exploring by traveling the Volcanic Legacy Scenic Byway. One of only nine All-American Roads in the nation, it runs right across Running Y’s doorstep. The Byway meanders from Crater Lake National Park to the Upper Klamath National Wildlife Refuge on Klamath Lake, offering spectacular views around every bend.

Spectacular views year-round at Crater Lake National Park.

Just 54 miles north of The Running Y is America's deepest lake, Crater Lake. A caldera left by the eruption and collapse of Mt. Mazama, it plunges nearly 2,000 feet and its shinning cobalt beauty has made the park an international attraction.

Trek along the north shoreline into Winema National Forest (20 miles from Running Y) for hiking, biking, climbing, and picnicking. Explore surrounding areas by following the Lake Ewauna Interpretive Trail or hiking into Klamath Basin National Wildlife Refuge. Bikes are available for rental per hour or by day.
