(Employment or Contract Arrangement Available)

Strathfield Golf Club invites applications for the highly regarded position of Head Professional / Director of Golf, following the recent resignation of the Club’s long-serving Professional Mark Reeve.

The Club is open to both employed and contracted operating models, seeking a dynamic leader with a proven track record and experience in pro shop and golf operations to drive both individual and group coaching programs, whose primary focus is delivering exceptional service and experiences for members and guests.

This rare opportunity has arisen only the third time in 69 years, following the departure of our respected Golf Professional, who served for 17 years, 13 of them as head Professional.

Strathfield Golf Club:

Located at 52 Weeroona Road, Strathfield, centrally located in Sydney’s inner-west, approximately 13 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD, 14 kilometres east of Parramatta, and around 3.6 kilometres south-west of Sydney Olympic Park, offering convenient access from across metropolitan Sydney.

The club was initially established in 1897 in Enfield and closed in January 1907. In 1931, a meeting resolved to form a club to play golf at Freshwater Park, Strathfield. In April 1932, a 9-hole course and clubhouse were opened for play. The course has seen many changes since then.

In 2016, the club commenced construction of a new clubhouse on the western side of the course and a redevelopment of the whole course. The award-winning clubhouse was opened in November 2018 and the new championship course offers a challenging, pleasurable experience for golfers of all abilities.

Strathfield Golf Club is a “Community Club”, and while we have 1139 golfing members, we welcome non-member green fee players and particularly welcome those in the LGA via a Community Membership.

While there is no practice range, we do have 3 indoor simulators, a large putting green and a short game area. There are also areas on the golf course where teaching opportunities are available.
