BOOK A LESSON

Jack Nicklaus Coaching Studio

Every golfer learns differently, so our Jack Nicklaus Coaching Studio is built to coach the way your brain and body work best – whether you’re more visual, auditory or feel‑oriented. With instant, data‑driven feedback on every swing, you learn faster and build a more reliable, repeatable motion that holds up on the course.​

By combining high‑speed cameras, 3D motion analysis and tour‑level ball‑flight data, we help you see exactly what is happening in your swing and understand the “why” behind your ball flight. The result is not just a better swing in the studio, but clear ownership of your tendencies, your fixes and your personal blueprint for improvement.

Available technologies include

Swing Catalyst Video Analysis

Multi‑angle high‑speed video synced with impact data so you can clearly see how your body, arms, hands and club move throughout the swing, frame by frame. This turns “I think I did this” into “I know exactly what I did,” making changes simpler and more confidence‑inspiring.

Foresight CGQuad

A world‑class launch monitor using quadrascopic imaging to measure ball and club data such as ball speed, launch, spin, club path and face angle. You see in real time how small changes to your swing path or clubface translate into different trajectories, curves and distances.

Swing Catalyst Balance Plate

A pressure‑sensing platform with thousands of high‑resolution sensors that shows how you use the ground – where your weight is, how it shifts and how efficiently you generate force. Live pressure maps and traces reveal patterns in balance, stability and power that are impossible to see with video alone.

Sportsbox K-Coach

An AI‑powered 3D motion analysis system that turns a single swing video into a 3D model you can view from multiple angles. It tracks key body segments and movements in three dimensions, giving you specific, measurable checkpoints and real‑time corrective feedback to accelerate change.

FSX 2018 Simulator

A versatile simulator and practice environment that pairs lifelike ball‑flight with skills challenges and on‑course play. It makes practice more engaging while still delivering accurate feedback, so you can enjoy your sessions and leave feeling like you truly trained with a purpose

PROGRAMS

Private Lessons

In our Private Instruction, every student, from beginners to profesionales can choose the parts of the game they want to work on. With the help of the integrated technology in our Jack Nicklaus Coaching Studio, we will help them to improve their game and their scores.
First, the student´s swing will be analysed, then we will propose corrections, multiple drills and training aids to improve weaknesses. We will send the student´s their video by email. The students´s level will determine the use of the technology integrated in our Coaching.

Playing Lesson

“Success depends almost entirely on how effectively you learn to manage the game´s two ultimate adversaries; the course and yourself”

Jack Nicklaus

All the hard work you make around improving your game must be reflected in the way you play on the Course. If you are like all the golf players in the history, you will find that bringing your game to the Course does not happen as often as you would like to. Golf is a sport were you never practice in the field you play your tournaments so, how will you be able to learn to score? Our 120 min Playing Lesson are design to help you bring your best game to the Course.

Club Fitting

The use of modern technology that tracks the ball flight helps us to understand the players golf swing and club requirements. Our knowledge will help you understand the importance of having the correct head, lie and shaft that will help you hit your best shots.

Many golfers play clubs that do not fit their swing or body type. Tour Players are fitted to have the best set possible and the Jack Nicklaus Academy at Finca Cortesin offers you the opportunity to find the right club from industry leading brands TaylorMade and Honma, thus taking your game and scores to the next level.
