Apple Mountain Golf Club | Clarkesville Georgia United states
Expires: October 14, 2026
Apple Mountain Golf Club is under new ownership and moving to self-management this fall. We are looking for a golf professional to run it.
You would report directly to us. There is no regional manager and no corporate playbook. If it's a decision you can make standing in your own pro shop, you make it. That's the job, and that's the whole point of it.
THE CLUB
18 holes in the North Georgia mountains, in Habersham County, about ninety minutes from Atlanta. Roughly 30,000 rounds a year. An on-site residential community with a pool and amenities, food and beverage, and a driving range. A Charter membership program we're actively growing, with a trail-fee tier.
WHAT WE'RE PUTTING INTO IT
We are spending real money on this club right now:
WHAT YOU WOULD OWN
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
$85,000–$100,000 base, depending on experience. A performance bonus tied to Charter membership initiations, league, outing and tournament revenue, and profit growth. On target, that puts total compensation around $125,000–$140,000. Health coverage and 401(k).
Beyond that, we would rather build the package around the right person than post a fixed list. Depending on fit, it can include a furnished apartment on site in our residential community, a share of lesson revenue, and PGA national and section dues, continuing education, and the PGA Show.
TIMING
We are moving quickly. We want an offer accepted by late September and a start in mid-October, which puts you in place ahead of our move to self-management on November 1, with a few weeks to learn the property before it's yours to run.
TO APPLY
Send your resume and a short note (not a cover letter, just a note) telling us what you would do with our Monday through Thursday
Pay: $85,000.00 - $100,000.00 per year

An on-site residential community with a pool and amenities, food and beverage, and a driving range. A Charter membership program we're actively growing, with a trail-fee tier.
WHAT WE'RE PUTTING INTO IT
We are spending real money on this club right now:
- A new cart fleet and upgrades to the cart barn
- Driving range enhancements, including new ball handling and dispensing equipment
- A new clubhouse in planning
- A food and beverage program rolling out now
- Lightspeed for our tee sheet and point of sale, with a booking engine upgrade underway
WHAT YOU WOULD OWN
- The P&L. This is a general manager's job first. You own revenue, cost, and the number at the bottom.
- The golf. Instruction, player development, clinics, club fitting. You are the professional here, and our members will know your name.
- The revenue programs. Leagues, outings, corporate events, tournaments. Most of these aren't built yet.
- Membership growth. Charter memberships, retention, and the member experience.
- Food and beverage, and the event business that comes with it.
- Your team. An assistant general manager runs the pro shop, cart barn, and daily play under you. A course superintendent runs maintenance. You set the direction for both.
- Vendor and capital decisions, with us, not through a procurement department.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- You need to be in the PGA program. A Class A member in good standing is great, but you do not have to have finished. If you're a PGA Associate enrolled in the PGM program and working through it, that counts. What matters to us is that you're in it and moving.
- Experience running a golf operation, whether as a head professional, a general manager, or a strong assistant GM ready for their first seat.
- A real track record on the revenue side. Tell us about leagues you built, outings you booked, memberships you sold.
- Someone comfortable owning a P&L and reporting to owners who read it.
- Someone who teaches, and wants to keep teaching.
- Willingness to live in or near Clarkesville and be present at the club.
