I've seen quite a few people mention running on golf courses--it definitely seems like a great idea:  much more scenic, soft grassy options, and water along the way!  ...is it legal???

I doubt it is legal, but it sure is fun! I ran on a cart path in Hawaii and it was great! Maybe if you run with golf clubs on your back they won't notice.

It is if they don't see you!

I have ran on golf courses a few times but only at night in the dark. I love it quiet, gently rolling, soft grass with sprinkler misting on you as you go. I only run on a small local one. I don't suggest trying the Phoenician on your first attempt of golf course running.

I did once have to run across the fairway around mid day coming off a trail run in Anthem. I got lost and wasn't sure were to go besides through the golf course. I got ran down by the grounds guy in a cart who told me to stay off the course and not run here again. It was kind of fun running through the fairay coved with dust and sweat with my camelbak. I tried to lose the golf cart but I started entering Z4 and my alarm on my garming sounded so I had to slow down. I bet if it was a tempo run I could have droped him.

My favorite 5k course ever is on a golf course in Hawaii over looking the ocean.

It is an invitational for college teams only and on a Marine base so not a good place to push your luck with security. Its harder to out run a humvee than a golf cart.
