Desert Gold (Osoyoos Golf Club)

Designed by Doug Thomson and opened in 2006, Desert Gold is Canada's only desert-style golf course — a par-71 layout carved into the sun-baked benchland above Lake Osoyoos. The 6,500-yard links-style course weaves through native sagebrush, sand, and desert flora with dramatic elevation changes and sweeping views of the lake, vineyards, and surrounding mountains. Situated in the South Okanagan, Canada's warmest climate zone, Desert Gold enjoys one of the country's longest golf seasons.
