About the role
- Text
As Renfrew Golf Club approaches its centennial celebration in 2029, we are seeking a dynamic and dedicated Head Golf Professional to lead our golf operations and contribute meaningfully to our continued growth and excellence.
Nestled in the scenic Ottawa Valley, Renfrew Golf Club has been a cherished destination for golf enthusiasts since its founding in 1929. This picturesque 18-hole layout is known for its tree-lined fairways, natural elevation changes, and inviting small-town hospitality. For nearly a century, the club has been a pillar of the local community and a favourite among members and visitors alike.
In 2024, the club completed a major renovation of its driving range and practice facilities, significantly enhancing the teaching and training experience. The project included the addition of a spacious grass tee deck, 12-bay artificial turf hitting area, and a comprehensive short game complex featuring chipping and pitching fairways, a 3,000-square-foot green site, and a greenside bunker. A private teaching tee was also added to support a more focused, high-quality instruction environment.
