Mission Creek Golf Club located in the heart of the Okanagan is searching for their next General Manager.
The optimal candidate will lead the day-to-day operations of the golf club under its new ownership. They are looking for an experienced hospitality professional who has a proven track record for building successful teams and developing a strong culture. This is an opportunity for an individual who likes a challenge with the goal of driving the business toward its full potential.

About The Club & Kelowna:

In 1979, Ruth and Vic Welder purchased the land adjacent to Mission Creek Greenway and, with the help of their children, developed the property from a former racetrack into a golf course. For the next three generations the club operated with the Welder family until they recently sold to new owner, Harold Rempel.

The Golf Club sits on 50+ acres with a 12,000sq foot clubhouse and includes an 18-hole golf course Par 61 just under 4,000 yards. It is a mid-length option for the Kelowna market which has close to 20 golf courses in town and surrounding area.

Kelowna combines a vibrant urban lifestyle with a dramatic natural landscape in the heart of the Okanagan Valley. With over 250,000 residents in Kelowna and its immediate surrounding area, it has all the amenities of a larger city but still retains its small town vibe and charm. From Osoyoos to Vernon, there are almost 500,000 residents with Kelowna being the central hub of this 4 season tourism destination.

Key Highlights That Make Kelowna Great

• Outdoor Recreation: Surrounded by Okanagan Lake and mountains, the city offers boating, paddleboarding, and beaches. In the winter, Big White Ski Resort is less than an hour away for world class skiing and snowboarding.
• Climate and Sunshine: Kelowna experiences over 2,000 hours of sunshine annually, with warm, dry summers and relatively mild winters compared to the rest of Canada.
• Wine and Culinary Scene: The region is internationally recognized as Canada’s premier wine country, featuring over 200 wineries (such as Mission Hill and Cedar Creek) alongside a thriving farm-to-table culinary and craft brewery scene.
• Thriving Economy and Education: As a fast-growing regional hub, it features a diverse economy spanning technology, tourism, agriculture, and healthcare, anchored by major institutions like UBC Okanagan and Okanagan College. Between the ski hills and golf resorts, Kelowna has developed from a small town to a year round tourist destination.
