About Franklin Bridge

Franklin Bridge Golf Club sits on 186 acres of some of the most storied land in Middle Tennessee - ground that once belonged to the McGavock family of Carnton Plantation and witnessed the opening action of the Battle of Franklin. The 18-hole course, designed by Gary Roger Baird, was purchased in 2018 by local PGA ownership, Brooks West, and renamed to honor the historic bridge that crosses the Harpeth River through the heart of the property.

We are a community-first club, home to a storied membership we no longer sell and a host of public Middle Tennessee golfers. If you've been here before you already know... Franklin Bridge is public enough you can play it, and private enough you can call it home.

Our service standard is simple: we passionately facilitate a fun and friendly golf experience for our members and guests. We are looking for a Head Golf Professional who lives that out every day.

 
About You

You are currently an assistant golf professional looking for an exciting new opportunity overseeing a golf operation. You understand that the focus of your role is overseeing the golf operation at Franklin Bridge, and not the traditional scope of a head golf professional at a club. You are eager to work at a club that is fast-paced, friendly, and golf-centered at its core. Many describe you as outgoing, solutions-oriented, and focused on your role and responsibilities, as well as committed to the game and your place in it. You are spatially aware, hard-working, and you lead in an open and humble way.

Experience Required

• 3+ years in a golf operations role at a private, semi-private, or high-volume public facility; prior supervisory experience strongly preferred.
• Working knowledge of tee sheet software, POS systems, and handicap administration.
• Excellent communicator who leads by example and holds the team accountable kindly and clearly.
• Genuine love of the game and a service-first posture. We are looking for a candidate who can both lead at a high level and pick up a piece of trash when they see it in the parking lot.
