Chapter, Inc. Meetings and Events Committee invites AGC
members to the 47th Annual Spring Conference. The Spring
Conference is an AGC tradition that has given generations
of members the opportunity to spend time together in a
relaxed setting at some of the most outstanding resorts in
the Western United States.
This year, the Spring Conference will be back in the desert,
staying at the new Ritz-Carlton Resort in Rancho Mirage,
California. We encourage you to register early as once our
room block is sold, prevailing rates will apply. Our room
block sold out at the AGC Winter Conference in February,
which was also a Ritz-Carlton property. Hmm...could be
that everyone wanted to go to the Ritz! Please refer to the
enclosed registration forms for complete details.
Special Note: This year, our package includes Thursday and
Friday night only.
Saturday night is available as an option for members who
want to stay thru the weekend.
Attendees have two ways to register. Registration form #1 is the “Spring Conference Package,” which includes
hotel accommodations for two nights, all receptions, banquets, meals, etc. On the same form are the “optional
activities,” which are registered for separately.
The 2nd way to register is on the “Individual Pricing” form #2. This is for those members who are not able to attend
the entire conference, but want to come down for a day, and participate in some of the activities.

SATURDAY, MAY 9, 2015
GOLF - DESERT WILLOW, FIRECLIFF COURSE
GOLF - DESERT WILLOW, MOUNTAIN VIEW COURSE
The Firecliff course at Desert Willow Golf Resort, measuring
7,056 yards, is a true test of skill where golfers must negotiate
their way around extensive natural areas, numerous water
features and more than 100 bunkers/waste areas.
The Mountain View course at Desert Willow Golf Resort was
designed to be a transition between the more challenging,
tournament-quality Firecliff course, and the traditional course of
fence-to-fence turf grass, flowers and flowing water.
