We are seeking an experienced and driven Golf Lead to oversee and develop all golf-related business activities at the Links Clubhouse (Home End). Reporting directly to the General Manager - Links, this is a key leadership role responsible for delivering an exceptional golfing experience while driving revenue, profitability, and operational excellence.
This is an exciting time to join the team, offering the opportunity to shape and enhance the future of golf at the Home End. The successful candidate will work closely with multiple departments across the business, including Food & Beverage, Retail and Course, Caddie and Reception Management, ensuring a seamless and high-quality customer journey. Operating at both a strategic and operational level, the Golf Lead will be responsible for defining the vision and direction of the golfer experience, while identifying and implementing new sales and marketing opportunities to grow the business.
With full responsibility for managing golf operations, the role requires strong leadership to motivate and develop the team, maintain high service standards, and continuously improve performance. The Golf Lead will play a pivotal role in ensuring customer service excellence is consistently delivered, while maximising commercial opportunities and supporting the wider objectives of the Links Clubhouse and the organisation as a whole.
If you are passionate about golf, leadership, and delivering outstanding experiences, this is a unique opportunity to make a real impact.
St Andrews, separating the farmland and the dunes of the beach, was ideal for golf and, in 1552, Archbishop Hamilton issued a Charter formally recognising the right of the people of St Andrews to use the Links for golf.
Over centuries a recognised routing with set holes took shape and by 1764 18 holes were established, becoming the standard bearer for the game wherever it is played.
Over the next 250 years St Andrews Links would be transformed, undertaking a dramatic transformation of the golfing landscape with six further golf courses, three clubhouses, a state-of-the-art Golf Academy and five official stores, all making it the most renowned golf complex in the world.
If you love golf then there is no better place to work, however that isn’t essential to be a success here. As a custodian of the Links, we don’t need you to be a golfer, we simply need you to be brilliant at what you do and appreciate the game.
