Jim McLean to Open His First Golf School in Utah at Exclusive Heber Valley
Community
HEBER VALLEY, Utah, Jan. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Red Ledges, a planned
recreational community located in the Heber Valley, will be the site of Jim
McLean's first golf school in Utah. The Jim McLean Golf School will complement
the Red Ledges 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course and Nicklaus Design
nine-hole short course.
The golf school at Red Ledges will be McLean's seventh location in the
United States, with existing establishments in Fla., Calif., Mich., Ariz. and
Texas. McLean also has golf schools in Canada and Spain.
"Red Ledges differentiates itself from other communities by its
partnerships with undisputed leaders of industry, and our relationship with
Jim McLean will provide Red Ledges residents with golf instruction from one of
the leading instructional facilities in the world," said M. Anthony Burns,
managing owner of Red Ledges.
McLean is considered to be one of the top three golf instructors in the
world and Jim McLean Golf Schools is the number one rated golf school in
America. In 2007, the winners of both the US Men's and Women's Open were
students of Jim McLean Golf Schools (Angel Cabrera and Cristie Kerr,
respectively).
Both the design and operation of the facility at Red Ledges will be under
the direction of Jim McLean Golf Schools International. The Jim McLean Golf
School will provide Red Ledges members with such services as private and group
instruction, club fitting, McLean's proprietary SuperStation(TM), which is
fully equipped with the finest high-tech video equipment and computers, and
more.
"Red Ledges is one of the most beautiful properties I have ever seen, and
the ability to run one of my golf schools here is a fantastic opportunity,"
said McLean. "My goal is very simple: run the finest golf instruction in
America. We do not compromise on any aspect of our business and look forward
to serving our new students in Utah."
