Executive Recruitment

At The Golfing Link, we specialise in executive recruitment solutions tailored exclusively to the golf industry. With a deep understanding of both the business and culture of golf, we help clubs, resorts, academies, governing bodies, and golf-related enterprises secure exceptional leadership talent to drive performance, innovation, and member satisfaction.

The golf industry is unlike any other. It requires leaders who understand the nuances of club operations, customer experience, member engagement, and the commercial dynamics of golf facilities. Whether you're seeking a General Manager, Director of Golf, Head Professional, Operations Lead, Commercial Director, or Clubhouse Manager, finding the right fit goes beyond the resume.



We bring a unique blend of industry expertise and recruitment excellence to every engagement:

• Decades of direct golf industry experience from our founding team, including PGA-certified leadership and golf facility management.
• Proven track record in executive search, with over 30 years’ experience placing senior talent across Europe, Asia, and Australia.
• Deep networks that uncover off-market candidates with the character, expertise, and passion to elevate your club or golf business.

Our Approach

Our search methodology is personal, precise, and performance-driven:

• We partner closely with club boards, owners, and executives to understand strategic priorities and cultural fit.
• We craft tailored search campaigns that combine discretion, market intelligence, and proactive outreach.
• We evaluate candidates based on technical capabilities, leadership qualities, and alignment with the club’s values and vision.

From private member clubs and resort courses to teaching academies and golf management companies, we understand what excellence looks like—and how to find the people who can deliver it.

Our mission is simple: to help our clients thrive by putting the right people in the right roles. With a passion for the game and a commitment to service excellence, we are the trusted recruitment partner for the next generation of golf industry leaders.

Golf is evolving—and leadership must evolve with it.
