Tucked away at the most southern tip of the Okanagan Valley, the town of Osoyoos is not only a well-loved resort destination, it’s also a dream for golfers of all levels, and we think fall is the best time to get out on the green!
Osoyoos boasts 2 courses to explore within a few minutes of the downtown core: The Osoyoos Golf Club and Sonora Dunes Golf Course at Spirit Ridge Resort. Another two 18-hole courses await just a short drive north in nearby Oliver. With plenty of courses to choose from, and warm weather lasting well into the fall, the region is the ideal destination for a fall golf getaway. Choose from a variety of accommodations – including first class resorts, beachfront hotels and motels, as well as RV Parks.
In the beautiful desert mountainside high above the Town of Osoyoos, you’ll find Canada’s only desert-style golf course – the Osoyoos Golf Club. Enjoy 36 holes of spectacular golf on two distinct properties. It’s a unique golf experience in a truly stunning destination. For a view of the vineyards, orchards, and the town dressed in fall colours, it doesn’t get much better than this.
Across the lake and nestled in amongst rolling hills, desert landscape, and lush vineyards is the 9-hole Sonora Dunes Golf Course. Golfers of all abilities are welcome – from seasoned pros to rookies, and those just looking to get in a round while enjoying the unparalleled views of the South Okanagan Valley. This stunning course has a lot to offer and is a highly recommended stop on your Osoyoos golf getaway.
TIPS FOR THE PERFECT OSOYOOS FALL GOLF GETAWAY:
1. Book Your Tee Time in Advance
When planning your trip to Osoyoos, be sure to book your tee time in advance. You can book both the Osoyoos Golf Club or the Sonora Dunes Golf Club easily online!
2. Get out early or late
With our desert climate, it’s best to get out early or late to avoid the midday sun. While this advice is generally given to summer sun seekers, the sentiment goes for early and late season golf as well. Osoyoos is considered Canada’s Warmest Welcome for a reason!
3. Save time for wine
When in wine country, you have to check out at least one of our many local wineries. There’s nothing more rewarding than enjoying a glass of wine overlooking the vistas and valley below after a few rounds of golf. If wine isn’t your thing, Osoyoos is also home to North Basin Brewing Co. – a brewery owned by a local golf enthusiast!
