Are you a dynamic, results-driven leader passionate about golf, hospitality, and community engagement? We are seeking an energetic General Manager to spearhead operations at one of the most vibrant golf clubs in the Waikato.

About The Club

  • Among the busiest clubs in Waikato, financially successful, respected for great facilities, a strong membership base, and a thriving tournament and corporate day program.
  • Committed to growth, innovation, and delivering memorable experiences on and off the course.
  • A community‑oriented, incorporated society with a wide-ranging audience — from competitive golfers to corporate groups and social members.

The Role & Responsibilities

  • Lead all day to day club operations: golf services/memberships, staff and contracted services, administration, sponsorship, and function activities.
  • Deliver exceptional service to members and guests, fostering loyalty and engagement at all levels.
  • Collaborate with the Board and staff to implement strategic plans and meet ambitious financial and membership KPIs.
  • Forge and maintain strong relationships with sponsors, community partners, regional colleagues and Golf New Zealand.
  • Drive improvements highlighted by the membership, and with thought to  national and international trends.

About You

Ideally you will bring experience in sports administration, or with incorporated societies or clubs.  Your strong relationship skills, ability to manage sponsor partnerships and engage a wide member base will impress.  The ability to innovate and execute fresh ideas for revenue and memberships growth is important, along with remaining flexible to the conflicting operational demands of the club.  Financial proficiency with capability in budgeting, commercial oversight and KPI reporting is essential, as are exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills. 

Ready to make your mark?

If you're a motivated, commercially-minded leader committed to delivering exceptional member experience we'd love to hear from you.
