1 Greetings golfers: Welcome to the New Year, We thank you for your support in the past and look forward to serving you for many years to come. Play was up a little this year, but unfortunately not enough to cover ever rising expenses. We ve made a few rate increases to better reflect these costs. (See the attached rate sheets) Fortunately we have been able to keep the fees very reasonable. We will continue to improve our products and services, and look forward to serving our valued friends and golfers in The course was in great shape this year and we appreciate the many compliments that we received. Lucas and the grounds crew did a great job and we expect to continue on that path going forward. We always try to achieve a maintenance meld to give you a golf course you can be proud of while still keeping golf affordable. Our success relies on our ability to attract all kinds of golfers to Canyon Springs. Those golfers include fee players, season pass holders, league players, junior players and tournament players alike. Canyon Springs is a terrific course in a great setting and our goal is to offer a special golfing experience to all. One of the keys to keeping golf affordable for season pass holders is to attract daily fee players and events. It s a simple equation: the more golfers we get, the easier it is for us to keep your season pass rates in check, spreading the cost to a larger base. We acknowledge that a few times a year this causes inconvenience and availability issues. Please work with us by arranging alternative playing times and we will do our best to keep you informed on the upcoming tournaments and events. We know that none of this would be possible without the support of our core group of avid golfers and loyal season pass holders. We have a positive & optimistic viewpoint moving forward and hope to share our unique course with all who would like to experience it. This allows more to enjoy the game and in turn will grow the game. As I m writing this, temperatures are in the single digits and the course is covered in snow. Let s hope we are able to enjoy our usual winter play. Ironically, the long range forecast is for a warmer winter than usual. Our service hours will vary with the weather. Please call us before coming down, if there is anything you need or if you have any questions. Enjoy the holidays with your family and friends. It won t be long before we are kicking off a great new year here at Canyon Springs. --Dave McCollum

2 GREETINGS EVERYONE First of all I want to thank everyone for a great We had a lot of fun this year and it was great to see the hustle and bustle inject life back into the Canyon. Thank you for your continued support. On behalf of the Canyon family I want you to know that we really do enjoy getting to know you and we enjoy the opportunity to serve you. We look forward to improving upon your experience with the game we all love so much. Never forget golf is just a game, a getaway and an opportunity to spend time with friends and family is going to be more exciting than ever. We have a new and revitalized attitude, direction and dedication at Canyon Springs. The future is so bright. We look forward to taking all who want to join us on an exciting, fun and memorable journey over the next several years. We have a lot in store for the coming season so let s get started. The course was in great shape this year. Lucas and his crew did a fantastic job getting the course back into top notch shape this year. They have worked tirelessly on the intricacies and nuances that our unique situation and location calls for. They are not only growing grass but they are growing healthier more consistent playing surfaces. As most of you know they have cleaned up a lot of trees and dead debris. This spring we plan to punch the greens again with big tines as we did in the fall. This will require a little more time for the greens to heal but the long term effect and results will pay off tenfold. One of the things we can do as players to help Lucas and the course is to make sure we fill divots and repair ball marks. It only takes a second but especially on tee boxes and greens can make a world of difference. With that being said we will do a better job of making sure sand and seed is plentiful as you make your way around. Please help us thank Lucas, Tyler and the rest of the crew for their efforts and doing such a good job this year. The exciting part is it will only get better. The 2015 Season Pass fee schedule is attached. Please note that we are offering an early pay discounted rate and would like all to take advantage of that if you are able.

They have helped them grow and develop at all levels. Their programs they have producing some of the best junior players in the state and helped many earn scholarships to play golf in college. Most important is they are teaching them the life lessons that can be learned from the game of
