Looking for golf course jobs near you? BookMoreTeeTimes connects job seekers to open positions at golf courses, country clubs, and private clubs in your area: cart attendants, servers, bartenders, beverage cart staff, grounds crew, and seasonal workers all in one place.
Golf courses and country clubs hire across far more categories than most people expect. You do not need to play golf to work at one. Here is a breakdown of the most commonly available positions:
Manage cart fleet, assist with bag handling, outside services. One of the most common entry-level golf jobs.
Drive the beverage cart on course, take drink orders, handle cash/card transactions. Tips make this a strong earner on busy days.
Serve food and beverages at private events, weddings, and member functions. Experience helpful, many clubs will train.
Club bar, 19th hole, and event bars. Bartending experience required at most clubs.
Member dining room service. Higher service standard than casual dining, tips at private clubs tend to be good.
Retail sales, tee time management, member check-in. Golf knowledge a plus but often not required.
Course maintenance, early morning starts, outdoor work. No experience required for most entry-level positions.
Manage tee time flow, pace of play, assist golfers. Great for golf enthusiasts who want to be on the course.
Club kitchen and event catering. Culinary experience preferred, willingness to learn accepted at some clubs.
Seasonal golf jobs typically run from April or May through October in northern markets like the Midwest, Northeast, Pacific Northwest, and mountain states. Year-round positions are available at courses in Florida, Arizona, Texas, California, and other warm-weather markets.
Seasonal positions are ideal if you want summer income, are a student, or want to supplement other work. Year-round positions are common in F&B, administration, and grounds at clubs that operate facilities beyond just the golf course.
Apply for entry-level roles first. Cart attendant, greens crew, banquet server, and beverage cart staff are all regularly filled by people with no prior golf or club experience.

Emphasize reliability and availability. Golf courses have early morning, weekend, and holiday staffing needs. Being available for those shifts makes you a stronger candidate.
Dress professionally for the interview. Even for outdoor roles, clubs value appearance and presentation as indicators of how you will represent them with members.
Tell us your schedule and location upfront. The matching process works better when we know your real availability. Be specific about what days and hours you can work.
Beverage cart positions do not typically require formal bartending certification, but you need to be of legal age to serve alcohol in your state and understand responsible alcohol service. Most clubs handle their own training. The role requires a valid driver's license, a friendly personality, and the ability to handle cash and card transactions. Tips are a significant part of the compensation.
For seasonal positions, apply between January and March. The courses that staff up fastest are the ones where candidates started the process in winter. By the time April arrives, the best positions at well-run clubs are already filled. Year-round positions open throughout the year and should be applied for as soon as they are posted.
Yes, for certain roles. Cart attendants, greens crew, pro shop assistants, and caddies are commonly available to workers aged 16 and older. Positions involving alcohol service require minimum age compliance per state law, typically 18 or 21 depending on the state and specific role. Check the job listing for age requirements.
Absolutely. The majority of golf course jobs do not require you to play. F&B, grounds, administration, fitness, and most operations roles have nothing to do with golf ability. Some clubs even offer employee rounds as a benefit if you want to learn, but it is never a requirement.
