HEBER VALLEY, Utah (Sept. 5, 2007) -- Red Ledges, a planned recreational community located in the Heber Valley, will be the site of the first Cliff Drysdale Tennis Academy in Utah, as announced today by M. Anthony Burns, managing owner of Red Ledges.

The Academy will be Drysdale's first tennis program in the western United States and the first in a high-altitude location, and will be Drysdale's seventh Academy. Existing Cliff Drysdale Tennis Academy's are located in Florida, Mexico and New York.

"Utah is best known as a winter destination, but the team at Red Ledges is designing a community that showcases year round mountain recreation, including tennis," said Burns. "By partnering with Cliff Drysdale, we are providing our members with one of the finest tennis programs available in the world. Our relationships with Cliff for tennis, and with Jack Nicklaus and Jim McLean for golf, will help solidify Red Ledges and Utah as a destination for all seasons."

Both the design and operation of the facility at Red Ledges will be under the direction of Cliff Drysdale Tennis. The Cliff Drysdale Tennis Academy will provide Red Ledges members with such services as private lessons, corporate events, round robin tournaments and international exhibitions.

"We are pleased to have partnered with Red Ledges to develop and run its Tennis Academy," said Cliff Drysdale, tennis legend and Cliff Drysdale Tennis founder. "Cliff Drysdale Tennis operates in many world-class venues in the eastern US, Caribbean and Mexico, with clientele that come to expect a special class of service, and we look forward to delivering our unique and special brand to the Red Ledges members and guests."
