Farmington, Pennsylvania – Nemacolin, Pennsylvania’s premier luxury golf resort destination, has been named among Golf Digest’s “50 Best Golf Destinations for Women.”
The Golf Digest editorial team polled its female teachers and course-ranking panelists to vote on the best American golf resorts they would recommend to other women. The team thoroughly researched and vetted the results, to compile a list of the 50 Best Golf Destinations for Women.
“As more women join the game — 800,000 from 2019 to 2023, according to the National Golf Foundation — more realize one of the greatest experiences for any golfer is gathering your friends and taking your collective love of golf on the road,” said Keely Levins, assistant editor of Golf Digest. “To help you and your friends plan your next great golf trip, we talked to women golfers and instructors across the country to curate this list of 50 destinations in the United States that would all make a great choice for a women’s golf trip.”
The Golf Digest article goes on to acknowledge that every group seeks something different in a golf getaway, which is why this list is full of unique experiences – whether a group of friends wants to travel and only play golf, wants to mix in other activities, easily access a top-notch spa, or include wining and dining.
The article specifically singled out Nemacolin’s quality of golf and broad array of resort amenities: “A mainstay on our ranking of the Best Resorts in the Northeast, Nemacolin offers five different, high-end lodging options. The two courses, Mystic Rock and Shepherd’s Rock, are both ranked among the Best Courses in Pennsylvania. And for any other non-golfer or to vary the itinerary, your group can also experience wine tastings and cooking classes.”
Chris Anderson, Nemacolin’s director of golf operations, says “It’s a great honor to be named one of the country’s top destinations for women to visit by Golf Digest’s panel because these golf courses offer a unique experience from each set of tees and our culture here is welcoming and fun. From small groups and larger events, it’s fun to see our guests get here and truly escape from the everyday world as they play these beautiful golf courses and explore all the amazing things the resort has to offer.”
Nemacolin’s guests enjoy the best of everything at a larger-than-life resort paradise nestled in the Allegheny Mountains and home to Mystic Rock and Shepherd’s Rock, two imaginative championship courses designed by the legendary Pete Dye. Each picturesque layout takes full advantage of the location’s vast, rugged topography, lush terrain, and majestic sweeping vistas with world-class shot values. Mystic Rock played host to the PGA Tour’s 84 Lumber Classic from 2003 to 2006, while Shepherd’s Rock opened in 2017, presenting great shot values and an uninhibited connection to the spectacular beauty of the Laurel Highlands.
Both courses demonstrate Dye’s daring brilliance and his ability to make golfers think and are the ideal location for a golf vacation, group golf trip, or large group outing. Surrounded by world-class golf and endless natural vistas, visitors discover a golfing escape like no other.
