SEEKING: Director of Golf – New South Wales Golf Club

La Perouse, Sydney

This is an opportunity to be part of one of the preeminent golf clubs in the world and one of the highest calibre golf club management teams in the industry.

The New South Wales Golf Club at La Perouse is the top ranked golf club in New South Wales, top 3 in Australia and within the top 30 worldwide (Golf Digest Magazine 2016). This ranking, profile and spectacular location attract a steady stream of international and often high profile visitors, bringing a whole other dimension to this role.

The Director of Golf is a key member of the management team reporting into the General Manager. There will be a transitional phase in this role as the club assumes responsibility for the existing Golf Shop operation and the successful candidate will be integrally involved in working through this transition.

Specific responsibilities will include:

• Management of overall golf operations including golf shop retail operations, tuition, driving range, golf cart facility and Caddies to standards expected at a golf club of this standing.
• Planning, execution and administration of all elements of all golf competitions, tournaments and corporate events and liaison with the House Manager to facilitate all related F&B.
• Course player management in conjunction with the Match Committee, to include speed of play and course usage analysis and management of all conduct, dress and etiquette standards.
• Liaison with the Course Superintendent to manage the impact of course work on competitions and communication of local and temporary rules.
• Management of the clubs social media and website and preparation of the annual programme.
• Co-ordination/administration of all Men’s and Ladies Representative teams and matches.
• Effective liaison with the House Manager to ensure there is pre-planning and smooth facilitation of all golf events on the day/night of functions.

 
You will be an experienced golf management professional who has most likely come up through the PGA ranks to a similar role in another high calibre golf club. Experienced across the full spectrum of golf operations, your depth of knowledge of golf will combine with strong administration skills and team leadership and management capabilities. Candidates based both in Australia and offshore will be considered but a strong long term commitment to a Sydney base will be essential.

Applications will be managed by Ellington Savage. Please register your interest in this role by emailing your application to mail@ellingtonsavage.com quoting reference number 9994 with any correspondence.
