New Jim McLean Performance Center Opens at SunRidge Canyon G.C.

SunRidge Canyon Golf Club announced today the opening of the new Jim McLean Performance Center, a 1,600 sq. ft. structure located on the club's practice tee occupied by Hot Stix Golf and Jim McLean Golf School. The building offers two hitting bays: one completely enclosed and climate controlled that opens to the practice range via a roll-up door. The other covered bay is open to the practice tee on two of four sides. Both are decked out with the latest video and launch-monitor technology. Just outside of the building, the practice tee was expanded to include 50 percent more turf. Two new bunkers and a second practice green were also added. There is also a therapy room for stretching sessions, a restroom and administrative space.

As the name suggests, the new facility is home to a Jim McLean Golf School, which is in its second season at SunRidge Canyon.

"The new facility is fantastic," said Jim McLean. "The indoor/outdoor capabilities provide our students an additional level of comfort, while giving the instructors a state-of-the-art place to help golfers realize their potential within the game of golf. It's just very well done-a huge asset for our instructors and students."

The performance center is also home to Hot Stix Golf, an industry leader in the art and science of custom golf club fitting. The facility at SunRidge Canyon allows the professional club-fitters to visually assess the golfer's ball flight in addition to uncovering their unique swing DNA with the help of Trackman launch monitor technology. From there, they match the golfer's specs to the best complement of equipment, across all major brands, by leveraging Hot Stix Golf's proprietary software developed through years of independent research and development carried out at their Scottsdale Airpark headquarters.

"It's gratifying to see this project come to fruition," said Jeff Lessig, General Manager of SunRidge Canyon Golf Club. "We now offer one of the most comprehensive and effective game-improvement options available in the Valley of the Sun."
