Women's golf group trips are the fastest-growing segment in group golf travel — and the destinations that work best aren't the ones with the longest courses or the hardest slopes. They're the ones where the golf is stunning and playable, the lodging lets your group stay together, and the non-golf options (national parks, spas, wine, dining) mean nobody in the group feels like they're just tagging along. Mesquite and St. George check every box. Here's how to plan the trip your crew has been talking about.
The Ledges — on-course villas, Snow Canyon views, community pools, and the course starts at your doorstep. The ideal girls' golf getaway base.
Why This Destination Works for Women's Groups
Forward tees that are actually designed well: Every course in the region offers 4-5 tee sets, and the forward tees (4,900-5,400 yards) are thoughtfully routed — not afterthoughts. Forced carries are minimal, and the scenery is equally dramatic from every tee box. Entrada (slope 127 forward), The Ledges (slope 129), and Coral Canyon (slope 119) are particularly well-suited.
Stay-and-play villas: The Ledges villas put your group in adjacent units with private pools, hot tubs, full kitchens, and a community with pickleball courts and a fitness center. Walk to the first tee in the morning, gather around the pool in the afternoon, cook dinner together or walk to Fish Rock Grille. It's resort living without the resort formality.
Beyond golf: Zion National Park (45 min), Snow Canyon State Park (10 min from Ledges), shopping and dining in St. George, spa services, UTVs, hiking. Groups with mixed golf interest — some play all 3 rounds, some play 1 and hike the rest — work beautifully here. See our Golf Near Zion guide.
Safety and comfort: Both communities are safe, family-oriented, and easy to navigate. St. George is a clean, well-maintained city with no nightlife-district concerns. Mesquite is a small resort town. The courses are welcoming to women's groups — no "boys' club" atmosphere.
Entrada — private club access through stay-and-play. Slope 127 forward tees and the most beautiful finishing stretch in Utah.
