4. UCLA
It doesn't get much better than playing golf at UCLA. The weather is always perfect. The budget is ample. The home course is Bel Air. The tradition includes a slew of All-Americans (led by Kay Cockerill, now a Golf Channel announcer) and two NCAA titles (1991 and '04). With all that to offer, it's no surprise that UCLA never rebuilds. The Lady Bruins just reload and gun for another national championship.

Last season, the team had just lost two All-Americas, but they still finished third at the NCAAs. This season, the lady Bruins are ranked first in the nation with two wins, a second and a third. The team includes six southern Californians (including Tiffany Joh, above, the 2006 U.S. Publinx winner), one Colombian (Maria Jose Uribe, the U.S. Amateur champion) and one Korean (freshman Glory Yang, ranked 16th in the nation).
