Ideas for a Spa/Tennis Getaway in the Western US??

We are a group of women, late 30s to late 50s, who would like to plan a getaway to play tennis and go to the spa everyday.

We're in Boise and don't mind flying anywhere in the Western US for a nice tennis/spa resort. Would also like very nice accommodations and good food.

Any ideas out there? Thank you so much!

This place is exactly what you want, but very expensive.

If you don't mind playing tennis at 8,000 feet, the Cliff Club at Snowbird has very nice spa facilities, nice rooms (hotel rooms or condos), and great food:

There are three outdoor courts on-site (in the Snowbird resort complex), free for guests. And very nice indoor courts 15 minutes away at the Snowbird Raquet Club, at a slightly lower elevation. You'd want a car to get back and forth, I think.

Red Mountain Spa in Utah is great! It is more well known for the hiking, biking and the spa but they do have tennis courts. I have been here several times with girlfriends and just love it! You can fly into St. George, or into Las Vegas which is only 2 hours away. From LV you can either rent a car or take one of the shuttles that goes to the St. George area and they will drop you right at the front door of the spa.

Barbara's suggestion of Rancho Valencia is excellent and the property is so gorgeous but is so very expensive..sometimes, I see deals on Expedia for $500 or less a night..
La Costa Resort and Spa, North of San Diego is a wonderful resort and they have the Tennis, Spa, Excellent food and they have the Chopra Center too!
