The club has continued to invest significantly in its facilities, including refurbishment of the clubhouse, professional shop and patio areas, alongside continued investment in course presentation and infrastructure.
With a loyal membership, an excellent reputation across the Midlands and ambitious plans for continued growth, they are now seeking an exceptional General Manager to lead the next chapter of the Club's development.

Reporting directly to the Committee, you will provide strategic and operational leadership across every aspect of the Club.
This is a genuine leadership position with responsibility for delivering an outstanding member and visitor experience whilst ensuring the Club continues to grow commercially and remains financially strong.

Key Responsibilities
You will:
- Lead the day-to-day operation of the Club

About You
We're looking for an engaging and commercially minded leader who enjoys building relationships and creating high-performing teams.
You may already be a General Manager within golf, hospitality, leisure or a private members' organisation, or you could be an experienced operational leader looking for the opportunity to lead your own business.
You will ideally bring:
- Proven leadership experience with responsibility for people, operations and commercial performance
- Strong financial and business planning capability
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills
- Experience of leading teams through change and continuous improvement
- A passion for delivering exceptional customer or member experiences
