Jim McLean Golf School at The Biltmore Hotel

My husband and I had a great time at the 3 day golf school! I can’t say enough about the format, instruction, and setting for the program. Glen, our amazing instructor, was so helpful and knowledgeable at each step of the school. As a beginner, he was able to quickly recognize my strengths and areas of improvement and help me develop next steps. He used his expertise and knowledge to guide our lessons and instructor. Each of us (only 3 in our group) had a great time and gained unmatched coaching and experiences. I highly recommend Jim McLean Golf School for all ages and golf leveled. We hope to return soon!

My experience at the Jim McLean golf school was exceptional. The adage “you get what you pay for” rings very true with this school. I signed up for a full weekend beginner course. The class was small (6 people in total) and the instructors (Dave and Sean) were so helpful, patient, and nice. The curriculum was extremely thorough, covering all the important aspects of the sport. If you are serious about learning the game and want to develop a solid base to avoid falling into bad habits then do not hesitate and sign up!

I’ve had an amazing experience taking lessons with Elisa at the Jim McLean Golf School! As someone who needed guidance and structure to improve my game, Elisa provided exactly that and more. She created a personalized plan tailored to my goals, broke everything down in a clear and structured way, and ensured I understood every step of the process. Her organization really stood out—each lesson was thoughtfully planned, and she provided detailed video feedback that helped me see my progress and understand where to focus. She also shared excellent recommendations for further reading and practice, which has been incredibly helpful. Elisa is patient, professional, and such a pleasure to work with. I truly look forward to every session with her. If you’re looking for an instructor who is knowledgeable, organized, and genuinely invested in your improvement, Elisa is the perfect choice.

I was one of four students in a one-hour short-game clinic taught by Rafael Echenique. I had not met Rafa before. Over a number of years, I've taken many golf lessons and I've participated in many multi-person clinics. In my experience, Rafa is one of the best teachers I've ever worked with. He provided fantastic advice about both chipping and bunker shots. He was somehow able to work effectively with all four of us and to address our wildly variable skill sets. I was very impressed. I'd definitely go back to Rafa for additional lessons.

I started taking Miami Beach golf clinic classes with Alan Fort two weeks ago. The classes have been very productive, and I improved my game immediately. I also started hiring Alan Fort for private lessons—he is very professional and has a great teaching method. I saw significant improvement right away. Alan Fort is the best golf coach I’ve ever had, and I highly recommend him to everyone.

Had a wonderful experience being trained by Kevin Boutier. He his time explaining my form and how I could better correct myself. He proceeded to take me into a visual studio where he had cameras filming my form and comparing it to multiple pro players, one being “Rory Mcllroy” After that we went to the driving range to execute and perfect the form. Kevin is a great guy with a great personality and a huge love for the sport! Biltmore is a top notch facility with state of the art technology to perfect your form. Had a great time learning from him and will absolutely be coming back for more classes!!!

I just completed a half day session with Alan Fort at Miami Beath to kick off the new year. I am a Five handicap and this was my first lesson in some time. Alan was a fantastic teacher. Alan was very in tune to my specific game and was able to focus on key areas that would create the biggest impact for me. Alan is a tremendous communicator and able to convey very complex swing mechanics in a simple and intuitive way. Alan was able to make tremendous impact on my swing in only 4 hours and he added key fundamentals improvements for my short game and Driver game as well. Best of all Alan laid out a foundation that I can work on every day. I highly recommend the Jim McLean school and especially Alan. Very happy client!

I had a hour lesson with Nick Hayes and loved it. He recorded my swing and was able to Slow-mo it and pinpoint little things that I needed to improve. Then I’d work on it taking swings and he’d coach me up on what he saw and I’d try to apply the coaching on the next swing. The way he was coaching me was concise yet simple at the same time, and throughout the lesson we began to make my swing consistently cleaner which lead to better consistent contact. I feel like I’ll be able to keep improving at the range with the coaching points he gave me and will definitely be signing up for another lesson in the future.

I absolutely loved my lesson today with Jim McLean. His knowledge of the game is incredible. He gives excellent advice. I immediately experienced improvements and can't wait to go back.

As a member of the Biltmore its a great privilege to have Mcleans school move from Doral to Coral Gables. Instructors are top notch, friendly, reasonably priced and extremely knowledgeable. Expect immediate improvement after each lesson. I strongly recommend Grayson and Chad, but can't go wrong with any of the instructors.
