Job description

Associate Golf Professional: Blackhawk Golf Club

Blackhawk Golf Club is looking for an accomplished and motivated Associate Golf Professional to join our team for the 2027 season onwards. This is an opportunity to become part of a club with a distinct identity in a remarkable setting with an ambitious vision for the future. Set along the North Saskatchewan River in southwest Edmonton, Blackhawk is home to one of Canada's most spectacular golf courses.

The original 18 holes, designed by renowned Alberta architect Rod Whitman, helped establish a new era of minimalist golf course architecture in Canada. Broad playing corridors, natural fescue, rugged bunkering and strategically designed green complexes combine to create a course that is both visually striking and highly engaging to play. Since opening in 2003, Blackhawk has earned significant national recognition, including being named Best New Course in Western Canada by Golf Digest. The Club is currently ranked 20th in Canada by SCORE Golf Magazine. And Blackhawk's story is still being written. With nine additional holes approved and anticipated for completion in late 2028, the Club is progressing toward becoming Edmonton's first 27-hole private golf facility.

Location Blackhawk Golf Club Posted 2026-09-21 Deadline 2026-12-18 Job Summary

The Associate Golf Professional will be an important member of our Golf Operations team, working alongside our Management Team and fellow professionals to deliver an incomparable experience for our membership. Blackhawk offers an environment where professionals can develop their skills while working alongside an experienced team and interacting with an engaged membership.

We are seeking someone who takes pride in the details, enjoys working directly with members and understands what it takes to operate as part of a team at the level expected of a premier private club.

The Club's continued investment in its golf facilities creates an exciting backdrop for professional development. The addition of nine new holes will further expand the golf operation and create new opportunities for the team in the years ahead. Blackhawk also provides an unusually accessible member experience. Unlike many private clubs, our golf operation does not rely on a ballot-based tee-time system, allowing members and the professional team to enjoy exceptional access to the course throughout the season.

Responsibilities

The successful candidate will be equally comfortable assisting a member on the first tee, managing a busy golf shop, coordinating an event or stepping into the operational details required to keep the department running seamlessly.

• Tee sheet administration and daily golf scheduling
• Member leagues and programming
• Tournament planning and execution
• Staff supervision, coordination and development

• Building strong, lasting relationships with members and guests
• Supporting the ongoing development and success of the overall golf operation

Qualifications

Required:

• Ability to work effectively in a high-volume, team-oriented environment.

Considered an asset:

• Previous private club experience.
• Post-secondary education.
• Experience with golf retail, tournaments, leagues and/or golf instruction.

Above all, we are looking for someone who wants to contribute, learn and grow within a high-performing golf operation.

Compensation includes:

• Base salary of $4,500+ per month, commensurate with experience
• 90% of teaching revenue
