2009 BCWWA Golf Classic

On Saturday, April 25, 2009, the BCWWA golf tournament will be returning to the Nk’mip Canyon Desert Golf Course. The Desert Course is located in the northern tip of the Sonoran Desert, just outside of Oliver. The 18-hole championship course captures canyon and vineyard, sagebrush and skyline, in a layout that stimulates and teases. Uniquely created to offer a demanding Canyon Nine and a softer Grove Nine, this golf course proves that it can please everyone from the committed player to the beginner or occasional golfer.

Owned and operated by the Osoyoos Indian Band, Nk’Mip Canyon expanded from a relaxed nine-hole course to a championship model in 2001. Its local field designers listened to the symmetry of the elevated land to the north of the original nine and responded with a daring reply – adding 13 expansion holes and renovating the existing ones. The result is a striking blend of natural contrasts divided into the desert-dominated Canyon Nine, which delights in throwing the elements at an unwary golfer, and the more laid-back Grove Nine whose verdant fairways and greens welcome a long drive and a satisfying putt. Play through the spectacular vineyard, sage and stone vistas and watch the sun play tricks on the mountains.

There will be a shot-gun start and there are only 144 spots available. Register soon to reserve your spot because this event will fill up quickly. There will also be one bus provided for those who require transportation to and from the Penticton Trade and Convention Centre. Be at the golf course by 9:00 am for registration and to participate in the Water for People putting contest!

Please note that this is a SOFT SPIKE-ONLY facility.
