Golf Merchandiser Navesink Club

Overview

Navesink Country Club’s Golf Operations team is seeking a Golf Merchandiser for the 2026 season. As one of the premier private country clubs in the Northeast, Navesink prides itself on delivering a high-touch, luxury experience for our members and guests in a true four-season environment.

From championship golf and full-service dining in the warmer months to a vibrant winter campus featuring outdoor skating and hockey, Navesink offers a dynamic club culture that values excellence, attention to detail, and thoughtful presentation across all amenities.

This position is ideal for a retail-minded professional with experience in a high-end, service-oriented club or specialty retail environment who takes pride in curating, buying, and presenting merchandise at a premium level.

The Golf Merchandiser will have primary responsibility for all golf shop apparel and accessory buying, working closely with the Head Golf Professional to seasonal assortments that reflect member preferences, club identity, and current trends. The ideal candidate is available starting in April through the end of the year, and although the role is full time, this role has the option for extended downtime during the months of January and February while our operation is closed.

This is a fast-paced, detail-driven position during the club’s peak season — a true “100-day sprint” on the Jersey Shore — and is best suited for someone who thrives in a busy environment and enjoys owning their area of responsibility.

The position will pay a minimum of $1,000 per week, with the potential for Additional Shop Income Percentage Bonus based on Shop Revenue, Vendor Trunk Show Additional Percentage Income, and Potential for New Brand Introduction Bonus.
The hired candidate should expect to make up to $1,350 per week all in with bonus revenue potentials included.
