Of course I&#8217;m carving out time to scope out the only venue that&#8217;s hosted both the LPGA and PGA TOUR in a single season\u2014but this is also an opportunity to see how a new golf resort is creating its own little haven out west. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">From dinners overlooking lava rocks to a guided sand-buggy tour of Zion National Park it&#8217;s a jam-packed trip and figuring out looks has been a fun and unique challenge. For my ladies who may be headed on a golf trip where golf isn&#8217;t the sole focus, here&#8217;s a mixed and matched guide to give you a couple of ideas. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">Fellas, pretend this is just an extra, extra early holiday gift guide and bookmark a few things for her!<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">Featured Brands: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sierramadregolf.com\/products\/sport-fleece-pullover\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sierra Madre<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/aputnam.com\/products\/sentry-upf-long-sleeve-top\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">A.PUTNAM<\/a> |<a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jlindebergusa.com\/products\/cheryl-skirt-white\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"> J.Lindeberg<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/malbon.com\/products\/malbon-x-adidas-samba-golf-off-white-aurora-ivy-chalk-white-shoe\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Malbon<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.adidas.com\/us\/beyond-spacer-mock-layer-sweatshirt\/JE7366.html\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Adidas<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.uniqlo.com\/us\/en\/products\/E479402-000\/00\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Uniqlo<\/a> | <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.zappos.com\/p\/womens-ecco-sport-ultra-terrain-low-hiking-shoe-gravel-limestone-shadow-white\/product\/9847260\/color\/1100611\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Ecco<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">*Every product is independently selected by editors.

You want to make sure things get off on the right foot and ensure that you&#8217;re equal parts stylish and comfortable. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">There&#8217;s a couple of ways to get down to Black Desert, but I opted for the route of flying direct to Las Vegas from NYC and making the scenic two-hour drive down to Ivins, Utah. The other option is to snag a connecting flight into the St. George Regional airport about eight miles from the resort.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">No matter your poison, you&#8217;re going to want something cozy to fly in. I tend to go the casual route for my airport fits (think sweatshirt, leggings, and a go-to pair of sneakers)\u2014and what I wear on the way there is serving up double duty for the trip home, too. We&#8217;re efficient packers around here!<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">The newest fleece crewneck from Sierra Madre has me in a chokehold and you better believe I&#8217;m wearing it on my way to the home of the best Real Housewives franchise. (I am slightly bummed I won&#8217;t be passing through Salt Lake.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">Related: <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/skratch.golf\/style\/womens-style\/Related: Sierra Madre Just Took the &quot;Groutfit&quot; and Made it the Perfect Golf Fit\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sierra Madre Just Took the &#8220;Groutfit&#8221; and Made it the Perfect Golf Fit<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Walking With the Pros<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">While a good portion of my trip will be spent taking in the glory of southern Utah, you better believe I&#8217;m watching the pros take on this green oasis surrounded by red rocks and lava. <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">I love being a spectator because I get to mess around with my staple golf pieces and create looks that skew more fashion forward, yet remain course appropriate.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">Don&#8217;t over think it or feel the need to go too outside of your comfort zone, and leave the golf shoes at home (unless they&#8217;re spikeless). Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;m rocking to the first round of the championship. <\/p>\n<p>Get in Loser! We&#8217;re Going Off-Roading <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">Yeah, you read that right. One of the items on this insanely cool itinerary is a special trip to Zion National Park to participate in a little off-roading sand dune adventure.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">Hiking isn&#8217;t really my scene, but we&#8217;re doing things for the plot on this trip. I mean how could you not?! I refuse to let these views go to waste.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">I&#8217;m not quite sure what to expect on this adventure, all I know is that I&#8217;m ready to get behind the wheel and find myself in a different kind of bunker (well sand dune, but you know what I mean). <\/p>\n<p class=\"css-1slq7gi\">We&#8217;re going sporty girl chic for this one\u2014and the shoes matter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I&#8217;ve gone on every kind of golf trip imaginable, but this is the first one where golf (at&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":230069,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[443],"tags":[49,48,622,82],"class_list":{"0":"post-230068","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-golf","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=230068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/230068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/230069"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=230068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=230068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=230068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
