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.

We highly recommend the course. It's well-maintained, challenging, and great value for the money.

We enjoyed playing this course twice while on vacation in the Okanagan this August. We drove for two hours (each way) just to golf at Nk'Mip. We played it years ago when it was a nine-hole course called "Cherry Grove" and were very impressed with the new, picturesque course. The fairways and greens were fantastic, in great condition and very challenging. We highly recommend the course and will definitely play there again when we return to B.C. next summer.
