NkMip Canyon Desert Golf Course
About
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 job mk'mip resort.highly recommend this course!
A blustery day on a beautiful course
We got a great deal on golf now to play this course and it was well worth it. The course is challenging but very playable. The course is very scenic, winding it's way through the desert, high up on the side of the mountain. We had a beautiful day and the views were fabulous but it was so windy that myself and the other lady had trouble on the long holes that played into the wind. We walked and it was fine although it would be tough if you are not in good shape. I would highly recommend this course as a must play if you are in the South Okanagan.
Fun course to play
I enjoyed playing here. Great for golfers of all levels.
Excellent course
Course was in excellent condition.
Will definitely be back again to play!
A must play
This course is right out of the desert. If you have not played in Phoenix, this course will give you an idea of what it is like! An interesting track!
Nice work team.

Great surrondingd
One can only imagine playing a round of golf with ripened grapes all around you. I wonder how good 2016 wine will be? We are fortunate to have the opportunity to play in such beautiful surrondings with not a worry (only hitting a straight ball)....
Great Day
This was the first time we played this course and we were pleasantly surprised. The staff were are very friendly and the course was very well groomed. A pleasure to play here.
A good day in the desert.
This is a well-maintained course, with lush fairways and hard, quick greens.,The front nine is excellent, and the back nine is much improved beyond the old course that it has replaced.
Beautiful Shape, great green speeds-rolled.
No beverage cart on the course both times I played, this makes for a thirsty round of golf on a desert course? Not sure why no beverage cart, but you can stock up prior to going out and at the turn.
South Okanagan Treasure
Although we only played the front nine under a threatening thunderstorm we really enjoyed this course as a new favorite. The course design offers interesting & challenging variety. The location in the valley is unbeatable. The course conditions were perfect on the day & we enjoyed the very well done signage & directions for those of us new to the course. Staff & all services always very enjoyable.I expect our secret will become a very busy course in future.
Golf in Oliver
Like the course very scorable if you are driving well most shots that miss the fairway are unplayable. The staff are all top notch even the pro seems very down to earth compared to other pro's I've come across. I saw some other not so flattering comments. Good value.
great time
the staff are very friendly and helpful. they let you know what is available to you in the way of range balls, tee off time, etc. We were not rushed in any way and the pace of lay is very relaxing. We were informed of sales and deals. We highly recommend this course and to stay for dinner ; the restaurant has good food.
Great course...
NkMip golf course is a great course.. they are very accommodating. We got there and it was raining so we waited in the restaurant to see if the weather would change ... which it did! Had a great game... will go back again...
Thanks

Rainy but wonderful day
Pro shop staff were so personable and funny. Restaurant staff not so much. They couldn't care less that I was there to buy 2 Gatorade. We had to quit after 9 because of the rain and again the pro shop, different guy, were exceptional and gave us rain checks.
The greens were fast and true and fairways like a carpet
This is a great golf course for beginners and low handicap
Great experence
Staff were wonderful, friendly and accommodating. Left my putter on practice green and staff found it and brought it out to me before I got to 1st green. First 12 holes are awesome. Last ones are more hoe hum. Greens very fast. Very fun to play. Course in excellent condition!
