Hell's Kitchen Golf Club at Hell's Kitchen Pickleball Club, New York, NY

Position Overview

Hell's Kitchen Pickleball Club (HKPC) is seeking a Director of Golf to lead and grow Hell's Kitchen Golf Club, our dedicated golf operation within the broader HKPC club environment. Hell's Kitchen Golf Club currently offers a premium indoor golf experience centered around TrackMan technology, and we are in the process of expanding our golf footprint to include additional TrackMan bays and a Put View putting system. The Director of Golf will play a central role in that expansion and in shaping the long-term direction of the golf program. This individual will have overall responsibility for golf operations, programming, instruction, member engagement, events, retail inventory, and the continued growth of Hell's Kitchen Golf Club. The role will also oversee the club's broader pro shop operation, including both golf and pickleball merchandise and equipment.

This is a hands-on leadership position for someone who combines strong golf knowledge with hospitality, programming, operations, and an entrepreneurial mindset.

Qualifications

Strong knowledge of golf, golf instruction, equipment, rules, and the overall golf industry.

Experience with TrackMan or comparable golf simulator and launch-monitor technology strongly preferred.

Familiarity with Put View or other putting-analysis technology is a plus.

Previous experience in golf operations, private clubs, golf instruction, indoor golf facilities, resorts, hospitality, or related environments preferred.

PGA membership or PGA Associate status is preferred but not required for the right candidate.

Experience managing retail or pro shop inventory is strongly preferred.

Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to develop genuine relationships with members.

Comfortable interacting with golfers ranging from complete beginners to accomplished and competitive players.

Strong organizational, programming, and event-management skills.

Ability to work independently while collaborating effectively with a larger management team.

Comfortable working early mornings, evenings, weekends, and holidays based on programming and club needs.

Strong understanding of hospitality and the expectations associated with a premium private club environment.

Familiarity with pickleball is helpful but not required.

Ideal Candidate

The ideal Director of Golf is equal parts golf professional, host, operator, retailer, and program builder.

We are looking for someone who enjoys being on the floor interacting with members but can also think strategically about the growth of Hell's Kitchen Golf Club. This person should be comfortable helping a new golfer hit their first shots on TrackMan, discussing launch conditions with a low-handicap player, running a tournament, developing putting programming around Put View, managing pro shop inventory, coordinating a corporate event, and planning the next phase of the club's golf expansion.

Compensation

Competitive compensation commensurate with experience and qualifications.

Compensation structure may include a combination of:

• Base salary
• Performance incentives
• Golf instruction revenue
