 Thank you for your interest in the Jim McLean Golf School at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa in Traverse City, Michigan. Located on the shores of Lake Michigan in the Northwest portion of the state, the Grand Traverse school offers one of the best golfing and recreational getaways in the summertime. The resort is a full service facility with over 600 rooms, many of which have breathtaking views of the Grand Traverse Bay , and over 100 beachside condos as well. A student can have the comfort of staying at the hotel where tennis courts, fitness facilities, and top rated dining can be enjoyed within a few footsteps away from their room. Others may enjoy the feeling of escaping to the beachside to enjoy watersports of all sorts including jetskis, catamarans, and sailboating rentals. The resort also boasts of three swimming pools, including one at the Shores beachside facility.
This year marks the re-opening of the resort after an 11 million dollar renovation over the past several years. A grand, new lobby was revealed this summer in preparation for the National Governors Convention in 2007. The hotel and tower rooms have also been renovated with completely new interior decorating, fixtures, and alternating floor designs. The Grand Traverse Resort and Spa hosts countless corporate conventions including those in the motor industries, health services, and even major sporting teams like the Detroit Redwings, who have summer practice in Traverse City. Yet, the resort boasts its full service amenities more to the family, especially those looking for a top-notch golf experience.
The resort is home to Jack Nicklaus's Bear, the hardest rated course in Michigan and home of the Michigan Open, as well as Gary Player's Wolverine and William Newcomb's Spruce Run. These three courses offer the top rated professional to the beginning golfer a memorable playing experience in Northwest Michigan golf. From links style golf to picturesque holes though the wooded marshland, the resort's courses are uniquely designed to challenge players of every ability.
 The Jim McLean Golf School at Grand Traverse started in 1998, only one of three McLean golf schools at the time. I have had the great fortune of being at the school over the past nine years as its Director of Instruction. Our SuperStation was hailed by Jim McLean as one of the best in our fleet, and possibly one of the best in the country. A generous three bay, indoor-outdoor hitting facility allows the school to operate in all sorts of weather. With state-of-the-art computer and video equipment, and the industries best source of top player footage, golfers of any level are sure to experience a world-class golf school or lesson. Having being nominated just recently for the sixth time to GOLF Magazine's Top 100 Teachers' list, I guarantee my students that they will receive the same instruction and enthusiasm as they would receive from Jim McLean or any of the other Top 100 Teachers in his school family. The Jim McLean Golf School at the Grand Traverse Resort and Spa truly offers the golfer a unique, once in a lifetime experience of world-class golf instruction and recreation in a breathtaking setting.
