    Stay & Play Series Omni Bedford Springs Resort & Spa | Bedford, Pennsylvania Featuring the Official PGA TOUR Golf Package

    The Traveling Golf Diva Podcast – Stay & Play Series Omni Bedford Springs Resort & Spa | Bedford, Pennsylvania Featuring the Official PGA TOUR Golf Package Imagine stepping into a story that began more than two centuries ago. Mineral springs once drew Native Americans, presidents, and weary travelers seeking restoration. Today that same historic Pennsylvania resort still welcomes guests—only now the welcome includes a championship golf course ranked among the best you can play, a luxurious spa fed by those same healing waters, and an exclusive Stay & Play package created by the Official Hotel Partner of the PGA TOUR. This is not a “play as many holes as possible” golf trip. This is a Stay & Play experience designed for women golfers, girls’ golf getaways, couples, and anyone who understands that the best golf vacations are about the entire feeling of the place.   The Story of This Stay & Play      At Omni Bedford Springs, golf and history walk side by side. The Old Course traces its roots to 1895 and carries the fingerprints of Spencer Oldham, A.W. Tillinghast, and Donald Ross. Restored with care, it winds through the Allegheny Mountains and along Shober’s Run—challenging enough to feel special, beautiful enough to remember long after the final putt drops. It has earned repeated recognition as the #1 course you can play in Pennsylvania.      But the real magic of this destination is how easily golf blends with everything else. After your round you can sink into the signature Bedford Bath Ritual at the Springs Eternal Spa, float in the historic indoor mineral pool, gather around a fire pit with friends, or simply sit on a balcony and watch the light change over the hills. The resort gives you permission to slow down.      And the PGA TOUR Golf Package turns that permission into a beautifully packaged experience. What’s Included in the PGA TOUR Stay & Play Package As the Official Hotel Partner of the PGA TOUR, Omni created this exclusive package at select resorts, including Bedford Springs: Luxurious accommodations in a National Historic Landmark resort One round of golf per registered guest, per day Unlimited use of the driving range $100 resort credit per room, per stay Exclusive PGA TOUR welcome amenity: branded hat and golf balls available only to guests who book this package These details matter. The resort credit can go toward spa treatments, dining, or a second experience. The branded hat and balls become the tangible souvenir of a trip that felt elevated. Together they transform a strong golf stay into a complete Stay & Play story you will want to tell. Why This Destination Works for Women Golfers & Groups For many women golfers and traveling golf groups, the perfect getaway is not measured in total holes played. It is measured in beautiful golf, memorable rooms, good food, time with friends, and that feeling of being restored. Omni Bedford Springs delivers all of it in one place—historic, luxurious, and genuinely relaxing. Couples find it equally appealing: golfers get a highly ranked course while non-golfers have spa, pools, trails, dining, and atmosphere that feel special on their own. The Diva Question Would you rather fill every daylight hour with as many rounds as possible… or play one great round on a historic course and spend the rest of the day soaking in the resort, the spa, the conversations, and the feeling of having truly gotten away? Tell us what makes the perfect Stay & Play golf vacation for you.
