Job Description

About Us
Established in 1954, the Creston Golf Club is a hidden gem of the Kootenays, situated in the lush Creston Valley of British Columbia. Perched on a benchland overlooking the valley floor, the course is renowned for its stunning panoramic views of the Selkirk and Purcell Mountain ranges. The region’s unique “micro-climate” often referred to as the “Valley of the Swans” provides a longer, sunnier playing season than much of the province, allowing the fairways and greens to thrive in a landscape defined by rolling terrain and mountain vistas.
The town of Creston itself is a vibrant agricultural hub, famous for its fresh produce, orchards and vineyards. Over the decades, the course has matured into a championship-caliber facility, blending the charm of its 1950s roots with modern refinements. Recent major upgrades to the greens, fairways, and a state-of-the-art driving range have solidified its reputation as a destination course, drawing golfers from across Western Canada to experience the serene, high-mountain beauty of the Kootenay River valley.
Position Summary
The Creston Golf Club is seeking an innovative and results-driven Clubhouse Restaurant Manager to lead our food, beverage, and event operations into a new era of professionalism and profitability.
Following three years of significant growth in patronage from both local and out-of-town demographics and significant capital investments, we are looking for a leader who can mirror the excellence of our course within our clubhouse. This is a “turnaround” opportunity for a hospitality professional to build a culture from the ground up and share in the financial success of a thriving facility.
Our Competitive Edge
• A Course in Peak Condition: A total transformation of our fairways and greens has elevated the course to a premier standard, resulting in significant year-over-year growth in green fee revenue. Our elite Course Superintendent recently committed to a long-term contract, ensuring that these exceptional conditions and the resulting increase in patronage will continue to improve.
• Major Infrastructure Upgrades: We have just completed a significant overhaul of our Driving Range Facility and will be cutting the ribbon at the start of the 2026 season. Transitioning from mats to a brand-new professional grade grass hitting deck that allows for significantly more golfers in a much more enjoyable fashion will serve as another “customer funnel” for our clubhouse. More carts will be purchased including a refurbished beverage cart.
• Continued Growth: With over $1.3 million in annual golf revenue and growing out-of-town traffic, the clubhouse is perfectly positioned to capture “post-round” spend from a high-volume, and inclined demographic.
