Head Golf Professional (Reports to Director of Golf)

About the role

The Head Golf Professional works directly alongside the Director of Golf and leads a strong, stable golf operations team: four assistant professionals, a dedicated merchandiser, a director of instruction, and an outside staff of 14–19.

Instruction oversight is not a primary focus of this position; the Director of Instruction manages that program. This is an operations and hospitality leadership role with significant visibility among a membership that is engaged, down-to-earth, and genuinely invested in the people who serve them.

Responsibilities

• Oversee all aspects of golf operations including course maintenance, player development, and member services.
• Build and maintain strong relationships with a high-net-worth membership that includes active PGA Tour professionals.
• Lead a team of professionals to ensure the club maintains its reputation as a top-tier facility.
• Work closely with the Director of Golf to develop and implement strategic plans for the club.

Requirements

• PGA Class A professional experience at two or more well-regarded private clubs.
• Personable, polished, and comfortable building relationships with a high-net-worth membership.
• A long-term orientation — this is a role to grow into, not a stepping stone.

Qualifications

• Strong leadership skills and the ability to build a cohesive team.
• Experience managing a golf course and overseeing player development programs.
• Knowledge of best practices in golf course management and player development.

Skills

• Excellent interpersonal and communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively with a diverse group of individuals.
• Strong organizational and time management skills.

Benefits

Nestled within 600 acres along Central Florida's Butler Chain of Lakes, Isleworth is a Tavistock Group developer-owned community and a Top 100 Platinum Club of the World. The Arnold Palmer/Steve Smyers-designed championship course stretches to approximately 7,700 yards and serves as home to more than 30 PGA Tour professionals — making tour-quality conditioning a year-round standard, not a seasonal expectation. A comprehensive course renovation was recently completed, and a short game area renovation is currently underway with completion targeted for 2027.
