Nk'Mip Canyon Desert Golf Course (previously known as Cherry Grove Golf & Country Club) is so-named for its diverse landscape that begins on natural desert and smoothly transitions into lush canyons and valleys. In the centuries prior to the course's construction, the Okanagan people referred to the scenic landscape as Nk'Mip, which roughly translates to "flat bottom land at the mouth of the creek or river." Preserving the stunning natural features, including the abundant native flora and fauna, was one of the top priorities when the Osoyoos Indian Band developed the course into a championship layout in 2001. Despite tumbling across a variety of elevation changes, the golf course is easy to walk and provides stunning views of the South Okanagan Valley along the way. The course offers a fair challenge with water hazards and numerous strategically placed bunkers coming into play.

Great course.

We are here on a 2 week golf trip. Played Nk'Nip 4 times. The whole course was in great shape, including the tee boxes and the greens. New carts and ball cleaners. Driving range balls are included. The pro shop was well stocked for this time of year and I did buy a pair of shoes at a discounted price. Good value overall. We will be back next year.

Wonderful course with beautiful views.

Had a great round with many challenges, but the risk reward holes are rewarding. Great staff, friendly and welcomed us.
