Golf Courses-Southern Oregon

Launched in 2006
Centennial Golf Club -- Medford, Oregon

A new standard was set for the Medford/Ashland area when Centennial Golf Club opened in May of 2006. The bar was raised and people responded with rave reviews and a stream of consistent support for the golf club. Centennial was designed by John Fought, a popular course designer in the Northwest and Oregon native. “The design at Centennial was inspired by the classic designs from the Golden Age of golf course architecture when such geniuses as Donald Ross, Alistair Mackenzie and AW Tillinghast were creating their master works” states golf course architect John Fought.

This fantastic facility rests in the Rogue Valley Region on the former site of a 100-year old pear orchard. Stretching over 7300 yards from the tips, with nearly 7 of the par fours on the course at over 450 yards, Centennial is the real deal. The course doesn’t rip you apart though, if the tee shot tends to be on the tougher side then the approach and green may be more forgiving and vice versa. The 7300 yards is very playable and manageable. The contrast of the white sand bunkers with the beautiful scenery and colors of the valley is truly Southern Oregon golf at its finest. Centennial is ideally located in Medford, home to so many year round recreational opportunities, including the annual Shakespearian Festival and the ever popular Rogue River jet boat tours.

Running Y Ranch Golf Course and Resort -- Klamath Falls, Oregon

Running Y Golf Course is Oregon’s ONLY Arnold Palmer designed course. The Running Y is as spectacular as the surrounding environment. Playing through mature pine forests and scenic wetlands, Oregon's only golf course designed by Arnold Palmer is a seamless blend of natural beauty and challenging play. Palmer's vision of "leave the land as it lies" played out well in the course design. The Running Y's 7,138 yard, 18-hole award-winning golf course offers five sets of tees on every hole, generous fairways and fast, undulating greens. Palmer himself considers the track one of his best.

The opening stretch is most distinctive—with spectacular views of water, wetlands and mountains. The first five holes skirt cattle-grazed meadows, then veer into the Caledonia Marsh. The par 3 fifth is their signature hole—a beautiful sight with a 7000 square foot green. It measures only 147 yards from the back tees, all carry over water to a green that moves away and to the right.

The back nine begins with a rolling, open, fairly flat par 5 and par 4 moving around ponds, streams and meadows then moves gradually uphill into a tree-lined beautiful canyon, including Palmer’s favorite, number 16—a 446 yard masterpiece. Golfers emerge back into the meadow for the split fairway No. 17 (one of Palmer’s direct contributions) and the excellent 18^th.

The Running Y is honored by Golf Digest as one of "America's 100 Greatest Public Golf Coures" and is consistently recognized as one of the best in the state. Golf for Women recently ranked the Running Y No. 13 among the "Top 50 Courses for Women".
