Five Iron Golf is seeking a Golf Coach. This individual is primarily responsible for delivering high quality golf instruction and will report directly to the General Manager of Performance. Five Iron Golf is redefining the way people experience golf by combining our passion for the game with cutting-edge technology like TrackMan and Callaway Tour Fitting, helping every golfer — from beginners to seasoned competitors, reach their full potential in a fun, inclusive, and tech-driven environment. We’re not just a golf facility; we’re a community that celebrates learning, improvement, and connection. Our coaches are the heartbeat of that community, ambassadors who bring energy, expertise, and excitement to every lesson.

• Build and retain a loyal client base by creating welcoming, memorable, and performance-driven experiences.
• Represent Five Iron Golf at corporate events, delivering fun, high-energy instructional sessions.
• Maintain a consistent lesson schedule that meets productivity goals and performance expectations.
• Leverage social media to promote your coaching services and the Five Iron brand.
• Conduct junior clinics and support community outreach programs to grow the game.
• Follow up with students to convert swing evaluations into ongoing lessons and achieve key performance indicators (KPIs).
• Serve as an on-floor Performance Expert, engaging with members to elevate their overall golf experience.
• Participate in ongoing education and certification programs to continually sharpen your coaching skills.

• Proficient with video analysis and comfortable with golf technology tools.
• Excellent communication skills — able to connect with golfers of all skill levels and explain complex concepts clearly.
• Energetic and engaging personality with the ability to facilitate fun, group-based learning experiences.
• Driven to learn, grow, and help students achieve measurable improvement.
• Bachelor’s degree preferred.
• PGA or LPGA affiliation and/or PGM program graduation are strong pluses.
• Physically able to stand, bend, and lift up to 30 lbs for extended periods.
