Careers
The Roles We Hire For
Each spring we begin building our seasonal team. From April through October, our courses need dedicated people to fill positions across several departments. The work is hands‑on and varied, and no two days are exactly the same.
Our grounds crew forms the backbone of the operation. You might start the day mowing fairways, hand‑raking bunkers, or blowing down cart paths. The job is physical and outdoors in all weather—early mornings are standard, but you will see the course transform under your care.
In the pro shop, you are the first face our guests see. You handle check‑ins, answer questions about course conditions, manage tee sheet reservations, and sell merchandise. Accuracy and a calm manner count more than golf knowledge, though familiarity with the game helps.
Food and beverage roles include servers, bartenders, and kitchen staff. You will work in our clubhouses and halfway houses, taking orders, preparing food, and keeping the dining areas clean. The pace picks up around lunch and on busy weekends.
Starters and marshals keep play moving. You greet groups at the first tee, coordinate starting times, and patrol the course to encourage an even pace. Patience and a friendly but firm approach matter more than any rules book.
Teaching and coaching positions are filled by qualified professionals. You will conduct private lessons, run junior clinics, and help with club fittings. The work involves breaking down swings, explaining strategy, and building players’ confidence.
What the Work Is Really Like
The golf season in Ontario is short and intense. From the frost delays of early spring to the golden afternoons of autumn, you will work when others play. Weekend and holiday shifts are part of every role, and the busiest days demand your best energy.
Grounds crew members arrive before sunrise, especially when dew or rain sets the schedule back. You learn to read the weather, and you become part of a crew that takes pride in a clean, playable course. The physical labour is steady—bending, lifting, pushing machines—but the satisfaction of a finished cut is real.
Customer‑facing roles require a thick skin and a genuine smile. You will handle busy check‑ins, manage late tee times, and sometimes redirect frustrated golfers. For every challenge, though, there are many more moments when a guest thanks you for making their day better.
Food and beverage work is fast and teamwork‑driven. You will wash dishes, restock fridges, and run plates all while balancing a till. Time management and a sense of humour help you through the lunch rush.
For starters and marshals, the job is part traffic control, part host. You stand or walk for long stretches, and you learn to judge when to speed up a group and when to let them enjoy the moment. The best marshals become the calm centre of the course.
Instruction roles let you watch improvement happen. You may teach a beginner on the driving range or help a regular fine‑tune their putting. The work is rewarding, but it also involves setup, cleanup, and administrative tasks like billing and scheduling.
What We Look For
We hire people, not resumés. Whether you have years of golf experience or none at all, you can succeed here if you share a few basic qualities.
- Punctuality and reliability – Shifts start on time, and we need you every scheduled day. In a seasonal business, showing up matters more than anything else.
- A friendly, professional attitude – You will interact with guests, members, and co‑workers. Respect and courtesy are non‑negotiable.
- Willingness to learn and adapt – Tasks change with the weather and the day. Being flexible and asking questions when you are unsure shows initiative.
- Physical stamina – Many roles involve standing, walking, lifting, or working outdoors for several hours. Comfort with that reality helps you last the season.
- Good communication skills – You listen, explain clearly, and stay calm under pressure. This applies to directing traffic on the course or taking a lunch order.
For ground crew, a driver’s licence and comfort operating machinery are assets. For pro shop and food service, cash handling and point‑of‑sale experience are helpful. For instruction, we require recognised teaching credentials. But above all, we value people who take pride in doing a job well and who want to be part of a team that makes every round of golf better.
