Job Descriptiontop

Our Facility

The Windham Club (www.windhamclub.com) is an 18-hole championship golf course and event facility located approximately 30 miles east of Hartford, CT.  Our golf course dates to 1922 and has recently been substantially renovated (2014-2015).  The Golf Club at Windham is home to the Willimantic Open every year.  Formerly known as the Willimantic Country Club, we are now a fully public facility with season passes offered to members.  Our clubhouse too was completely renovated in 2014, and offers one of the most delightful indoor/outdoor event spaces in the region.

The Position

We have an active but under-utilized golf course that is still emerging from the transition to becoming a public facility.  We are looking for a golf professional to manage all golf operations, to aggressively market the course and our season passes, and to bond our facility with the local and regional communities.  This position is part of a three-person management team (golf, F&B, Grounds) that reports directly to the owner of the facility.

The ideal candidate will have a 5-year-+ background in golf operations, as an assistant pro or reasonable equivalent position.  Because the focus of this position has to be on marketing and outreach and community relations, the ideal candidate will also be friendly if not extroverted, interested in developing a fun golf culture that draws families and young people, and capable of running large outings and events (and of marketing them).  A good-to-excellent familiarity with social media is a significant plus, as is familiarity with P/L statements and other management tools.

The Opportunity

We have the flexibility to design the responsibilities and compensation for this position to suit the talents and experience of the successful candidate.  As a golf course in the Northeast, we can easily accept a seasonal arrangement (March through mid-November).  Compensation will be highly geared to revenue production above historical, and therefore offers outsized financial rewards for increasing activity on our course.  There are modest opportunities for golf instruction (we do not have a full-service driving range) and for merchandise sales in our shop.  

This job is ideal for an individual who loves the game, loves to get out there and draw people into the game, and is willing to use all of her skills to create a fun and successful golf environment in collaboration with a very small management team. This job is not ideal for individuals who wish to do a lot of golf instruction, or to spend time managing the marketing efforts of others.
