MEDINAH COUNTRY CLUB, Medinah, Illinois
GENERAL MANAGER/CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER
This highly prestigious, 84-year-old Platinum Club of America® has nearly 900 members. Annual gross revenue of $16 million with $4 million dollars in food and beverage sales. Facilities include three 18-hole golf courses with a driving range featuring the famed course number three, which has been the setting for one U.S. Senior open (1988), three U.S. Opens (1949, 1975, 1990) and two PGA Championships (1999, 2006). In addition, the club is slated to host the 2012 Ryder Cup. Other athletic facilities include four regular and two platform outdoor tennis courts, and Olympic size swimming pool with separate pool house, a gun club, two skeet and trap fields and a sauna, steam and exercise facility. There is an excellent and experienced staff in place at the club. The General Manager/COO is responsible for the total profit and loss management of the entire operation. Applicants should have 10 – 15 years of club management experience, (with at least some of this in a large or “Platinum” calibre club), possess strong leadership and communication skills, have documentable strengths with Boards and committees, have distinct ability to train and motivate staff and have “hands-on” knowledge of food and beverage service. This club is most desirable of hiring an individual who has a demonstrated track record of employment stability, in addition to possessing the requisite professional and personal skills and attributes. The club is not interested in hiring someone who is primarily interested in having a Ryder Cup experience, rather than a long and professional club career with Medinah. A college degree and a CCM designation are preferred. Compensation: This will be a compensation range fitting for a club of this exceptional national caliber, and commensurate with experience and qualifications – and will include an attractive base salary, performance bonus opportunity, and executive perks.
