This school is for the aspiring junior golfer looking to improve his/her long game, short game and mental game with an emphasis on course management. The program is structured to prepare juniors for competing successfully at a national level. The combination of range and on-course instruction will teach students to practice and play golf more efficiently. This is an intense week-long program. We ask that the student be age 12-17, and have a handicap of 15 or less.

Staff Pick-Up and Drop-Off at Miami Airport
Unaccompanied Minors (Under Age of 13)- JMGS Staff will be available to pick-up your child from the Miami airport as an “unaccompanied minor”. All airlines require children flying alone, under the age of 13, to be an “unaccompanied minor.” To fly this way requires some additional paperwork and care. Your child will never be unattended in the airport and our staff members will need to sign documents for release of your child. We will also provide you with a driver’s license and contact information for the additional airline documentation prior to the date of the flight. On departure JMGS staff will help with baggage check-in and wait at the departure terminal with your child until they board the flight.
Flying Alone (Over Age of 14)- JMGS Staff will be available to pick-up and drop off your child at the Miami Airport if they are flying alone. If your child is not flying as an official “unaccompanied minor”, then we will meet them at the Baggage Claim relative to their flight arrival. Our staff members will be wearing Jim McLean School shirts and have a sign. If your child has a mobile phone, we can take that information and call them upon arrival. They could also call our mobile phone upon arrival. On departure JMGS staff will help with the baggage check-in and walk them to the security checkpoint for drop-off.
Doral Resort Check-In with Parents
If you will be traveling with your child to Miami, you may check-in at the Doral Resort like a regular hotel guest. Check-In time is typically 3:00pm, however early check-in might be available on occasion.
Get Acquainted” Dinner will be held on Sundays before the camps at 6:30pm and check-in at Doral Resort is between 2:00pm and 6:00pm Sunday. Also, an Awards Lunch will be held on the last day of camp at 12pm. Parents are welcome at both the "Get Acquainted" Dinner and Awards Lunch.
The following is a sample schedule for a typical week:
Breakfast at Terazza in Doral Resort at 7:30am each morning
Evening Dinners around 7pm at various restaurants in Doral Resort and neighboring establishments in the City of Doral

*The winter holiday and spring break schools end on Friday at 1:00 PM
*A major component in Jim McLean's Teaching System is developing custom school schedules based on the students enrolled in each program. Therefore, we don't have a set schedule with pre-determined time frames or aspects of the game. The program is completely comprehensive covering the short game, long game, mental game, and course management; however we analyze our students specific needs first, before we determine what schedule is best for their improvement.

Lead Instructors
Each Junior Elite camp will be directed and taught by at least one Jim McLean certified full-time instructor. The golf instructors at the Jim McLean Golf School are the most qualified and best trained teaching professionals in the world. No other school requires their teachers to undergo the extensive training that Jim McLean demands of his professionals. The process is intensive and lasts between one and two years depending on the individual. Click here to see the steps that new hires must graduate through to be able to join Jim's elite staff of teaching professionals.
Assistant Instructors
We understand that making the decision to send your child off on his/her own is not one you make lightly. That is why we use our full-time staff members and assistant instructors to supervise the Junior Elite golfers. Our assistant staff is among the most professional and well trained assistant staffs in the world. All of the assistants have college degrees and are hand picked from some of the top golf clubs in the country.
At least one assistant instructor will be with the children at all times. They will accompany the students to all meals, make wake-up calls and stay on the same floor in the Doral Resort. After hours they are there to do room checks, enforce the 10:00 pm curfew and are available for whatever is needed. The staff members stay on the same floor in the Doral Resort as the students.

We understand that making the decision to send your child off on his/her own is not one you make lightly. That is why we use our full-time staff members and assistant instructors to supervise the Junior Elite golfers. At least one chaperon will be with the children 24 hours per day. They will accompany the students to all meals, make wake-up calls and stay on the same floor in the Doral Resort. After hours they are there to do room checks, enforce the 10:00 pm curfew and are available for whatever is needed. The staff members stay on the same floor in the Doral Resort as the students.
Activities will be planned on several of the camp nights for the students to socialize and have fun. All of the activities are group functions and the students will participate in everything as a group with a chaperon. Some examples include:
Arcade Night at Dave and Busters (Dolphin Mall)
Movie Night (PG Rated) at the Cinema or in a Doral Resort room
Pool Night at Doral Resort Swimming Pool
Other Activities might be included based on what the students prefer to do.
Students will be transported to off-campus activities in the instructor’s personal cars or the golf school mini-van, both of which are insured. Off-campus activities are located a maximum distance of 5 miles from the Doral Resort.
The students should have a small amount of spending money for outside activities. Maybe $50 or $100 will be plenty. If they want to purchase golf products or souvenirs at Doral Resort, they can bill the items to their room account.
Once in our custody, a child will not be left alone. Many children attend more than one camp session. On those occasions, a JMGS staff member will stay with the children for the remainder of the day Saturday, Saturday night at the hotel and Sunday morning. Fun activities will be planned for that time.
Family members are allowed to pick-up students from the Junior Elite camp for dinners and family activities; however prior written and verbal permission from the parents is required. A phone call from the parents and email/fax are both required for the child to leave our supervision.
Students will be assigned to Doral Resort rooms in double-occupancy. If students have a request to room with another friend we will make every effort to grant that request. Otherwise, room assignments are based on student’s age and gender. We try to match up the ages as best as possible. Lights go out at 10:00pm each night.
While students are checked-into the Doral Resort, a parent’s credit card is required to be on file. Students are allowed to charge souvenirs, additional food/ snacks, and other items to the room account. JMGS staff members will help with room check-out and make sure the room bill is correct with what the student has purchased. Each day, the students' rooms will be cleaned by a Maid Service just like a regular hotel guest.

"My two sons have been to the Jim McLean School a number of times and have had a fantastic experience every time. Jim McLean's approach to teaching the golf swing recognizes that each junior has a swing that is unique to their physiology and Jim and his team are amazing at correcting only the most important swing faults which keeps it simple for the student and, when fixed, creates a stream of cascading benefits. Most importantly, they make the experience fun! The benefits we have seen for our sons have not only been vastly improved golf games, but also much better attitudes and approaches to the game on course. I would highly recommend Jim McLean's Junior Elite Program. It is simply the best of class."

"I really enjoyed the Junior Elite Camp. The instructors were great and made the camp fun with a lot of drills and activities. I made some great changes to my golf game and left with an organized improvement plan. I hope to come back and would highly recommend this camp to my friends."

"The Jim McLean Junior Elite School was my first experience in a golf school and it surpassed my expectations. The attention of the coaches and the partnership with other kids was unbelievable. They combine fun and hard work to become the best experience ever."

"The Jim McLean Jr. Elite Golf School was quite the experience. On my plane flight down from Chicago, I truly did not know what to expect, but I went into the camp with and open mind and ready to learn and I can say I enjoyed every minute of it".
Andrew Crown, Age 16
Chicago, IL
"The Junior Elite Golf Camp was perfect. There is no way it could be any better. I would recommend this school to anyone that wants to get better at golf."
Michael Braunstein, Age 15
New York
"The other students were so much fun to be with! I made long lasting friendships. It was so great to be with other teenagers my age that have the same passion for golf as I do. Until now we still keep each other updated on how our golf is doing and we give each other advice on upcoming tournaments. I had a great time and learned so much all in that one week. Thank you so much for a great experience and for helping me improve my golf game!"
