Dear Members,
Best wishes for a great year in golf and connections at our Club in 2026. With the turning of the calendar and in preparation for the upcoming golf season, it's time to update and confirm the level of dues required to support our Club ’s operations in 2026.
To confirm, the Finance Committee reviewed, and the Board approved the operating and capital budgets for 2026. Thanks to Club Management for its thoughtfulness and thoroughness in preparing and presenting the plan. Management continually monitors our peer group and current trends in our market to maintain competitiveness. The budget also supports planning activities as we look to refresh and enhance our infrastructure to remain relevant in our market. We are encouraged by the recent uptick in membership sales.
Highlights of the 2026 Operating Budget:
• Maintain expected service levels and amenities
• Continuation of the reduced number of corporate tournaments set at 5
• No weddings hosted during the active golf season
• Return of most of our key personnel in all functions
• Pleased to host the 2026 Alberta Open Championship in August
• Dues limited to an increase of 4%, representing local inflation and expected specific golf -related cost increases
• Member guest fee increases to $175
• New Junior U12 category created with lower dues to encourage family participation
2026 Dues Amounts:
U12 (ages 11 and under) $ 369.00
Complete schedule of dues, fees, and rates for 2026 can be found on the website/app under Governance > Bylaws & Policies > nanFicial.
Capital Budget
The SGM held last November was specifically convened to review and seek membership approval of the 2026 capital budget of $1,290K, as it exceeded the annual authorized limit of $790K. The membership approved by 85.3% in favour, with 437 members voting. A complete summary of the plans related to this can be found on the website/app under Governance > Club Matters > Special General Meetings. Thank you for this strong support.
Our long-term capital needs are being analyzed in the context of the evolving campus and course plans. The Finance Committee and Board will be considering various funding models. Currently, the sources of capital are annual operating surpluses , the current levy, and the residual portion of membership sales net of the equity returned to the selling member. Projected needs will exceed the current funding levels from these sources.
Respectfully,
Finance Committee
Priddis Greens Golf & Country Club
