About the Role
Facility Description: Cyprian Keyes GC is a family-owned facility that opened in 1997. CKGC is open to the public and boasts 27 holes of golf (18-hole Championship course and 9-hole Par-3 course) with a full practice facility (driving range and short-game practice area). Here at Cyprian Keyes GC, we strive to build and maintain our team culture of mutual respect and self-accountability. This comes with a strong effort to support a healthy work/life balance while providing ever-improving conditions at our beautiful facility.

The Shop & Equipment Manager is responsible for maintaining the safe, proper, and efficient operation of all tools, equipment, and vehicles in our shop and keeping detailed records of all service and repairs.
