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.

Beautiful course!

First time at this course and can’t wait to come back. Thankfully for us the course was not very busy so my wife and I played in under 4 hours. Greens were quick but fair, took a few holes to get used to the speed. The overall course conditions were excellent!

Outstanding day of golf!

Had my first hole in one on number 3! Witnessed by a groundskeeper that shared the news with the pro shop! Pic with Kiwi Dave and given an Nk'mip flag congratulating me on my hole in one!

This is a great course..! Complimentary driving range which is full service including a chipping area and challenging putting greens!

My Favourite Okanagan Golf

I've played this course several times when I've been in BC to visit with my family and I would say it ranks as one of my favourite in the area. It helps that every time I've played, the weather has been perfect too!

Wow!

We recently moved to this area and were looking for a great course at a reasonable price. W3 found it!

It was quite windy the first day we played which added an extra challenge. The course was in amazing shape for the time of year. The greens were generous and were in great shape as well. Reading greens is not my forte and I found them to be quite deceiving.

Very friendly staff.,

Looking forward to my next round.
