Job description

Located in Naples, Florida, Forest Glen Golf & Country Club offers an exceptional golf and hospitality experience for its members and guests.

As a bundled golf community featuring 799 residences, Forest Glen provides an active, year-round membership, with each household enjoying two memberships. This creates a vibrant golf environment with a strong emphasis on community, member engagement, and exceptional service.

With nearly half of the course winding through a protected nature preserve, Forest Glen offers a distinctive playing experience featuring scenic views and frequent sightings of native Florida wildlife, including bald eagles, deer, bears and alligators.

Hosting approximately 50,000 rounds annually, the club features a robust golf program with active men's and women's leagues, tournaments, and playing opportunities for golfers of varying ages and skill levels throughout the week.

Forest Glen offers an exciting environment for a golf professional looking to take on leadership responsibilities, build meaningful member relationships, and grow within an established private club operation.

As our former Senior Assistant Golf Professional has secured his first Head Golf Professional role, we’re excited to welcome our next Senior Assistant to the team! This is an opportunity to step into a leadership position, take ownership of key golf operations, and receive the mentorship and development needed to prepare for the next step in your career.

This position is ideal for a motivated PGA Professional who is passionate about golf operations, member service, and professional growth, with aspirations of becoming a Head Golf Professional, Director of Golf, or General Manager.

A primary focus of this role will be the management and oversight of our weekly tournament and league operations, including Tuesday ladies' leagues (18-hole and 9-hole) and Wednesday men's leagues (18-hole and 9-hole).
