Sage Valley Golf Club - Director of Food & Beverage

CLUB OVERVIEW

Sage Valley Golf Club is one of North America's premier private golf clubs, located just outside Augusta, Georgia, and renowned for delivering an exceptional member and guest experience that extends far beyond championship golf. Designed by Tom Fazio, the Club combines world‑class golf, luxury accommodations, fine dining, outdoor recreation, and highly personalized service within an exclusive, invitation‑only environment. Its national membership is composed of accomplished business leaders, executives, entrepreneurs, and passionate golfers who expect impeccable standards, attention to detail, and genuine Southern hospitality.

Best known for hosting the prestigious Junior Invitational at Sage Valley, the Club has earned an international reputation for excellence by creating a refined, relationship‑driven experience where every interaction reflects a commitment to quality and service.

The Director of Food & Beverage serves as a key member of the Club's leadership team and is responsible for leading all front‑of‑house and back‑of‑house food and beverage operations. This individual will establish service standards, develop team members, and create exceptional dining and social experiences that enhance the overall member experience.

The ideal candidate will thrive in a highly collaborative environment and work effectively alongside a detail‑oriented Executive Chef who maintains elevated execution standards and a commitment to continuous improvement. Together, these leaders will drive a culture of excellence while ensuring a seamless integration of service, cuisine, and hospitality.

Wine is deeply woven into the Club's hospitality philosophy, and this individual will serve as a champion of that culture while helping create meaningful experiences for members and guests.
