The 2006 Mountain West Conference Women's Golf Championship will be held at Entrada at Snow Canyon in St. George, Utah, from April 20-22. This marks the first in MWC history that the tournament will be played in Utah. Opened in September 1996, the Johnny Miller Signature Golf Course will be played at par 71, 6,299 yards during the tournament.

UNLV won its third straight MWC Championship with a three-round 895. New Mexico finished with a final-round 302 for a 900 to maintain its second-place slot from round two. BYU shot 303 on the last day and 907 for the championship placing them third in the seven-team field. TCU was fourth with a score of 927 followed by San Diego State fifth (930), Colorado State sixth (934) and Wyoming seventh (954).

It took a one-hole playoff to break a three-way tie of freshmen at the top of the standings. Da Sol Chung of UNLV captured the individual title with a birdie on the first playoff hole after firing a final-round 73 giving her a championship total of a six-over 222. New Mexico's Py Bengtsson and Mikaela Backstedt made par in the playoff and both finished the weekend with a six-over 222. Mikala Henzlik of Wyoming finished strong carding the low round of the tournament with a two-under par 70 placing her fourth.

UNLV will receive the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
