General Manager
-
Country club general managers oversee all aspects of the club. That includes all employees, membership, maintenance and especially, finances. General managers don't have to perform many of the tasks, but they do need to hire competent managers in each area. Most also play a large role in hiring a golf pro. While general managers institute club policies and guidelines, make all the final decisions regarding the establishment, they also need to be flexible and open to the desires of membership.
Manager
-
Not all country clubs have managers--or directors, as they may be called. But those who carry the title often oversee the day-to-day operations, reporting only to the general manager. Country club managers hire and schedule workers in almost every position, making sure everyone understands their roles and works as a team, and that morale stays high. They also often handle some bookkeeping.

Golf Pros
-
Golf pros at a country club instruct members on the finer points of the game, giving lessons and offering feedback. They also often manage the pro shop, overseeing its budget and making sure it is well-stocked with apparel and other items, such as golf clubs, balls and bags. On top of those things, country club golf pros are often responsible for setting up and managing tournaments.
Restaurant Workers
-
Country club restaurants are expected to provide members with fine dining, not just in food but atmosphere as well. So restaurant managers not only must make sure that chefs are preparing food that tastes good, but is presentable as well. Servers, hosts and food attendants also are expected to act with a strong sense of professionalism and customer service.
Other Jobs
-
Caddies carry golf bags for members on the course, often handing them specific clubs at the golfer's request. Lifeguards ensure the safety of swimmers at the country club pool, and parking valets park a member's car and keep track of their keys. Like waiters and food attendants, caddies and valets work primarily on tips. Also, many country clubs need workers to serve as cashiers and perform other general duties in the pro shop.
