How many people to manage your club

[HampshireHog]

When I joined my current club 13 years ago we had General Manager, Assistant GM, a part-time admin and a House Manager.

Since then we have added a Golf Services Manager, a Deputy House Manager and will soon have a Member Services Manager.

Genuinely, can’t fathom how we need 3 more people to deliver golf and a bar.

How many managers are your club employing to keep things ticking over?

We have a GM, Operations Manager and a Catering Manager.

Manager and his assistant, but we do have a team of 3 or 4 people supporting them.
That’s for 3 courses and a driving range though. Fairly lean on management staff when you think about it.

Makes ours look a bit top heavy for a members club with one course.

Forgot about the course manager

General manager plus 2 office assistants, 1 accounts and book keeping, the other general duties.
All pro shop staff are club employees, there is one main pro seen as the manager
Course manager
Bar and catering manager.
Plus we have a board of directors.

We have a full-time head greenkeeper, one full-time assistant greenkeeper and another minimal part-time yoof. Any of them may apparently be called away to do something at one of the owner's other non-golf related properties.
Half a dozen part-time clubhouse staff - normally just one at a time, maybe 2 on a Saturday lunchtime.
The owner and his wife pick the range balls up by hand and she takes them home to wash them in the sink.
If any of these people consider themselves to be a manager they are keeping very quiet about it. Certainly, nobody ever answers any questions about the running of the club.

Maybe you need a Member Services Manager , have to say it was a bit of a surprise that none of the other roles were to keep the members happy. Although thinking about it a lot of things now make more sense.

The lol is for taking the range balls home to wash a collecting them by hand



I've no idea how many managers there are, maybe a dozen or more
I'd guess there's about 70 or 80 staff between course, pro shop, events/marketing and bar/restaurant etc, not counting those that sell properties on work in the gym/fitness areas

 

[nickjdavis]

448 managers at my place....every one of them can do a better job than the owner, secretary, greenkeepers and bar manager.
