Tradition Meets a New Era at Urbana Country Club

Urbana Country Club is where timeless hospitality meets bold innovation. We're looking for passionate and dedicated professionals to join our team as we continue to redefine private club and resort experiences in the Midwest.

Our team is built on a foundation of respect, inclusion, and excellence. We’re proud to create a workplace where individuals are valued, supported, and empowered to grow. If you're committed to gracious service, exceptional standards, and being part of something extraordinary—we want to meet you.

In recent years, we've launched a luxury resort facility with a full-service spa, state-of-the-art fitness center, and guest suites. In Spring 2025, we debuted a championship golf course designed to rival the best in the country. And we're just getting started.

Join us as we shape the future of modern leisure—one experience at a time.
