Golf in Penticton
Concentrating on the ball will be much harder than finding a golf course to play in the Penticton area. Distracting views of vineyards, canyons and desert landscape on golf courses may mean that the best shots of the day are with a camera. Don’t worry if you’ve hit all of your golf balls into the Penticton River Channel or have spent more time in sand than at the Skaha Lake beach: there are plenty of places to go shopping for golf balls. Perhaps what you really need is to relax with a restaurant meal in the clubhouse and think about the game tomorrow. There will be plenty to time to improve your score since the Okanagan Valley has one of the longest golf seasons in Canada. Bring your golf clubs and choose to play the almost 30 executive, 9-hole and 18-hole championship courses in Penticton and the surrounding area.
Championship Golf in the Desert
Nk'Mip Canyon Desert Golf
37041-71st Street
Oliver, BC V0H 1T0
The Nk’Mip Canyon Desert Golf championship golf course's front nine begins amongst the natural desert terrain and then smoothly transitions into a softer, more forgiving finish. Golfer’s may warm-up on the Oliver, BC golf course's driving range, chipping areas and putting greens before playing a round. Sloping fairways guarded by Ponderosa Pine and Willow trees greet golfers on the front nine; golf amidst the back nine’s canyon of swirling winds, gullies and elevations is a different game. Golfers may reminisce at the Canyon Restaurant while feasting on food, drink and valley views. Brand name golf equipment, clothes, balls, and clubs may be purchased at the Pro Shop.

Drive Along the Canyon
Summerland Golf & Country Club
2405 Mountain Avenue
Summerland, BC V0H 1Z0
The Summerland Golf & Country Club’s mostly flat and open front nine welcomes golfers with open arms; the back nine’s tight, rolling fairways and undulating greens challenge long-ball hitters to hit with accuracy along Trout Creek Canyon. A 300-yard driving range and chipping green allows golfers to master their touch before playing 18-holes. Back at the clubhouse, golf partners may gather to tally the score over great food and drink.
