Sunsets, Seaside Golf & Sisterhood: The Coronado Retreat Recap

Our 4th annual Coronado Golf Retreat was one for the books — and this episode takes you behind the scenes of one of the most meaningful Golf Party Live experiences we've ever created.

This year's retreat had a completely different vibe because everyone stayed together under one roof at our beach house. The connection, laughter, vulnerability, friendships, and community became the true heartbeat of the trip.

Because Golf Party Live retreats are about so much more than golf.

These retreats are about women putting themselves out there, building confidence, trying new things, making memories, and forming friendships that continue long after the final putt drops.

Joining us for this recap episode is retreat attendee Heather Bower, who shares her perspective and experience from the week. Heather is a newer golfer and a wonderful example of the supportive and welcoming environment that makes these retreats so special.
