Director of Golf

Pine Forest Country Club, established in 1945, was originally located along North Shepherd Boulevard on 144 acres of tall pine trees. Legendary architect John Bredemus built the course during World War II, designing a tight woodsy course that hosted the University of Houston's All-American Intercollegiate team for 15 years and was host to the 1949 Houston Open, won by Johnny Palmer by just one stroke. Twenty-eight years after Bredemus completed his development, the club moved west of the city since three-fourths of its membership lived in the Memorial area. Paul Wahlberg located 186 acres at 18000 Clay Road, enough land for an 18-hole golf course. The vision, however, was for 27 holes and was realized with the acquisition of an additional 44 acres. Architect Jay Riviere designed the original 18-hole course, which consisted of the Green Nine and Gold Nine. On May 1, 1975, the facilities at Clay Road were opened only two weeks after the activities at the original location were closed for good. Pine Forest has continued its growth by adapting to the development of Houston and its suburbs and enhancing the membership's amenities. Over the years, a resort pool was added, and most recently designated pickleball courts with a neighboring recreational green space. On June 16, 2022, the Stockholders of Pine Forest Country Club overwhelmingly approved a Golf Course Improvement Project. From 2024 through 2026, one nine-hole course, each designed by Baxter Spann, will be renovated each year. We anticipate having 18 holes open throughout the project. The overarching goal of the renovation is to ensure that the golf course is enjoyable for players of all ages and abilities while providing a long-term quality experience for all members. It is an exciting time to be a member at Pine Forest as we continue to invest in and elevate our golf course cementing PFCC as the premier Club in West Houston. Pine Forest Country Club is rich in tradition yet poised for the future. • PGA Member • 3+ years of Director of Golf or Head Professional experience • Strong Leadership skills • Excellent communication and organizational skills a must • Hire, train, and supervise both inside and outside service staff • Lead a high quality instruction program for both adults and juniors • Plan, organize and conduct quality golf events for the MGA, WGA, SMGA and others • Oversee management of tee sheet and pace of play • Develop and oversee golf services for members and guests • Be the face of the Golf operation at Pine Forest CC • Service minded leadership of the Golf operation
