Head Golf Professional
About The Position
The King and Prince Golf Club is entering a defining new chapter, and we are seeking a thoughtful, service-driven Head Golf Professional to help bring it to life. Located on St. Simons Island, The King and Prince Golf Club is rooted in coastal Georgia and shaped by tidal marshes, live oaks, and the easy rhythm of island life.

This is a rare opportunity to help build and lead the golf operation of a modern coastal private club from the ground up, thoughtfully, intentionally, and with long-term vision.

You will collaborate closely with the Director of Golf, ownership, and club leadership to establish a seamless and elevated golf experience, from daily play to tournaments, instruction, and member engagement. Your role will be both operational and relational, ensuring excellence in execution while fostering meaningful connections with members. This is not simply an operational role. It is an opportunity to help shape how the game is experienced at The King and Prince Golf Club, refined, welcoming, and deeply connected to place.
