Executive Chef

Bull’s Bridge Golf Club, (BB) one of New England’s most distinguished private golf destinations, is seeking an engaging, passionate, innovative, and hands‑on Executive Chef to lead its culinary program. This is an exciting opportunity for a talented culinarian and strong leader to shape a growing food and beverage experience matching the prestige of the Club’s championship golf course and exceptional membership.

Nestled in scenic South Kent, Connecticut, Bull’s Bridge Golf Club features an 18-hole Tom Fazio–designed course, the only Fazio course in Connecticut. The Club is consistently ranked among the state’s finest by Golf Digest. Named after the nearby historic covered bridge spanning the Housatonic River, the Club captures the charm and beauty of New England with understated sophistication.

Since opening in 2003, Bull’s Bridge has developed a loyal and discerning membership from across Connecticut, New York, and beyond. In 2023, the Club completed its first major course renovation, extending play to 7,200 yards and further enhancing its strategic design. Bull’s Bridge was the first Certified Silver Audubon International Signature Sanctuary in the Northeast and continues its commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices.

Facilities & Recent Enhancements
The Club recently completed a $6.8 million capital expansion to elevate its hospitality experience. The project included a state‑of‑the‑art kitchen, expanded prep and storage areas, new walk‑in refrigeration, and a reimagined dining room designed for seamless service and a more dynamic member experience. A new Golf House featuring upgraded locker rooms and golf shop underscores the Club’s continued investment in excellence.

Culinary Program
The culinary program at Bull’s Bridge celebrates seasonal New England cuisine, local sourcing, and refined yet approachable presentation. With the new facilities, there is tremendous potential to expand and innovate—creating memorable à la carte menus, intimate member dinners, and catering for large member‑guest events. The opportunity exists to create a signature culinary program unique to Bull’s Bridge Golf Club.

Open approximately nine months a year, the Club’s peak season is from Memorial Day through Labor Day, with breakfast, a vibrant lunch service and a growing dinner program (expanding to two evenings weekly in 2026). Food service is available seven days a week during the summer. The scale of operations fosters close relationships between the culinary team and members, allowing for a personalized, high‑touch dining experience.
