Welcome to Jim McLean Golf School at SunRidge Canyon Golf Club, McLean’s newest school, located just outside Scottsdale in Fountain Hills, Arizona. SunRidge Canyon is honored to now provide its guests with the game-improving benefits that can only come from the No. 1 golf school in America.
“Jim McLean certainly has built an impressive resume over the years as a player, instructor and author,” said Jeff Lessig, General Manager of SunRidge Canyon Golf Club. “We look forward to building a strong relationship between our organizations to provide a solid venue for golfers to learn the game at the best school available.”
The instruction facility is located on SunRidge Canyon’s practice facility with a permanent structure to be built in 2012 to house the school. McLean’s stable of instructors began accommodating students in November 2011 with frequent visits from McLean as his calendar permits.
“My team and I are excited to be at SunRidge Canyon,” said Jim McLean. “We had been meaning to establish a school in the Scottsdale area for some time. After a number of site visits by our team, SunRidge Canyon quickly made its way to the top of the list. The combination of great facilities located in a uniquely beautiful setting ultimately swayed our decision in their favor.”
Much like its counterparts throughout the world, the Jim McLean Golf School at SunRidge Canyon draws students from across the U.S. and the world, a perfect match given that the Scottsdale/Fountain Hills area is already a popular destination for golf vacationers. To accommodate travelers, CopperWynd Resort and Club, located adjacent to SunRidge Canyon, will serve as the preferred lodging partner, with other lodging options available as well.
