Grounds keepers Jorge Orozco, right, and Mario Lopez work on the seventh hole bunker at the new remolded Mirimichi golf course owned by pop singer Justin Timberlake. The course has plans to open in July.

Justin Timberlake’s golf course has started building the Mirimichi-Callaway Performance & Learning Center.

The 10,200-square-foot building, perched over the driving range, may sound like heaven to students of the swing.

A screened-in patio shelters three hitting bays, so golfers inside hit out onto the range.

The facility will offer three high-tech systems for golf instruction and club-fitting: The Callaway Performance Analysis System, which captures swing speed, ball speed, launch angle, spin rates and other factors for finding the best club fit; Trackman Technology, which displays ball trajectory in real time; and V1 Golf Teaching System, which helps instructors diagnose swing flaws and offer lessons online.

The center should open when Mirimichi reopens in July.

The pop singer and his parents bought the former Big Creek Golf Course at 6195 Woodstock Cuba Road, reconstructed the course and reopened it last July. But they have closed it for the first half of this year for yet more renovations.

“The advanced technology and state-of-the-art building will make Mirimichi the one-stop shopping headquarters for the perfect set of clubs, custom-fitted to individual specifications,” golf director Greg King said in a prepared statement.
