GENERAL MANAGER OPPORTUNITY AT KENSINGTON GOLF & COUNTRY CLUB
One of the most welcoming member‑owned clubs in Naples, Florida, Kensington Golf & Country Club is seeking a highly engaging, visible, and approachable General Manager to lead the Club into its next chapter. The ideal candidate will be a confident, "hands‑on" leader with a proven track record of success; someone who naturally builds culture, develops and empowers teams, and consistently elevates both member and staff experiences.

The incoming leader will inherit a high‑performing management team, a unified membership, and a fully renovated clubhouse that reopened in November 2025. With these strong foundations in place, the next GM will partner closely with the Board of Directors to refine and advance a strategic vision that aligns with the Club’s mission, values, and long‑term aspirations.
The next GM will promote a culture of "continuous improvement," ensuring Kensington continues to thrive as one of Naples' most highly regarded private club communities.
