The challenges of this position can be extremely rewarding for the right person. Managers will deal with all aspects of the recruiting, hiring, and management of staff that can vary from 10 to 200+ people. Hours can vary and are affected by seasonal changes in play levels at golf courses. Successful people in this position are those that can remain positive during challenging and stressful times and are reminded of the fantastic benefits and free time that comes available during slow periods. 

At many clubs, there are excellent playing privileges. There are numerous opportunities to travel with the company, and the opportunity to work at multiple seasonal clubs can allow you a change of scenery throughout the year. This can be stressful for those with families, but for those with a bit of wanderlust it can be a benefit and a great chance to see the country. 

The teams that I have been a part of have all been great. The culture in the workplace is one of teamwork, communication, and comradery, which we often preach to our caddies. 

There are positions in which you may be the only manager at a smaller program and work alone, other than with your staff. The structure of the company is set up to offer those managers a communication outlet with their director or HQ. I have never felt like there was a time when I couldn't call anyone in the company to talk about something that was on my mind. We have an open-door policy across the board.

The hardest part of the job can also be the most rewarding, and that is dealing with difficult situations with staff members and working to come to agreeable resolutions. I can go home at the end of the day feeling like what I am doing is helping the people I work with. There is no other place I would rather work.

This is ONLY MY experience at where I work. It may be different at other. If you haven’t been there for more than three years or more be prepared to have inconsistent work even on the busy season. Your first year as a  service contractor caddie ( they make money off you like a ride share driver company ) you will be scheduled as a “floater.” Basically at the bench with other caddies waiting for any walk ups because 100% of the time the vets are scheduled or have been requested by clients. This can may be 30 minutes to a whole day depending how long you want to wait. Even if you wait and hear there’s a need for a caddie there is still no guarantee you’ll get a loop with that walk up because there’s a hundreds of caddies ahead of you on the seniority list and any caddie with a lower number than you can bump you off at any job even if that caddie was in that same training class with you. There might be some favoritism with some managers and caddies but then again CM goes through managers like a 20 plus hcp goes through a dozen of pinnacle balls through a round. It’s just the nature of things at this course…
Obviously there’s more good than bad especially if you enjoy the game, walking, being outside and like meeting new people. My advice is to have patients, stick it out for at least a year and in that same year make yourself available by being there early mornings even if you’re not scheduled,  sign up for dovetails if they throw it out and get another part time gig until you can get established more. 


I've worked for CaddieMaster for several years both as a caddie and a manager. The experiences that this job has afforded me are priceless. I have had the privilege of caddying and managing in over five states and two countries (continents) and have met some of the most fascinating people, many of whom are still close friends. The family atmosphere that is cultivated here promotes great relationships with like-minded individuals. 

Caddying provides you tremendous opportunities to travel to some of the world's most famous and premier golf courses, often great playing privileges and an opportunity to make plenty of money in a fairly short amount of time. It's a flexible position that allows for plenty of free time, other jobs, etc.

For those who are looking for a long-term career with opportunity for promotions, look no further. One thing that I have learned in my experience with CaddieMaster is that commitment and hard work do not go unnoticed. I have been fortunate to have been offered several opportunities as the company continues to grow and have seen several of my peers achieve the same. You just never know what's around the corner!

Leadership, Leadership, Leadership- excellent at the top levels. If you don't like people from "diverse" backgrounds and varying personality types, this job is not for you. You will deal with members/guests (or worse- their kids) who have more money than they know what to do with, pros and assistants whose job may very well depend on what you deliver on the golf course, to caddies who may depend on that day's tips to put gas in the car to get home. All make for an interesting and challenging environment in which an astute manager will learn a lot about people and himself.
Company leadership is demanding, yet not unreasonable. Looking at it from the standpoint of "it's just golf" misses the point- the lessons learned can prove invaluable in the position or as a launch to other endeavors.
The most difficult part of the position is missing holidays with family and loved ones- yes you may be working Christmas and New Year's as well as weekends- you have to be there when the golfers are there- a reality of the position as manager. The hours can be long, especially in recruiting season- 12 hour days several days in a row are not uncommon.

Senior Management has been great over the years. Always someone you can call and get help or advice from. Can be a a stressful job given the industry. You'll be doing a lot, from accounting to operations to recruiting and training. So you'll learn a lot on a cooperate level. 
Pay is okay.. I think it could be better considering the hours you'll be putting in but overall my experience with the work life balance had been pretty good. Golf is a weekend and holiday sport so be prepared to work, BUT there are some big perks of the job in being outdoors, course access (at most places) and being around the game. 
The one thing I really don't like is the compensation.. The company will leave you at your first salary forever if you don't ask for a raise. You'll have peers in other industries who get normal percentage raises every year or every couple of years at least while you stay at the base you got when you came on board 3 years ago. 

Seems like it’s a good place to work for college/high school kids but if you are trying to make a career out of it, I would 100% recommend NOT doing it with Caddiemaster. This company will farm you out for minimum money so that they can charge a caddie fee and take a cut from every single player.  Not an uncommon practice, but once you actually break down the numbers it is not really geared for the success of the caddie, more for the company.  This company will charge you for uniform items, club logo gear, etc. I spent around $500 out of pocket to  get all of the necessary stuff I needed. Managers get a cut/commission from the mandatory employee uniform purchases.  Managers also go eat together for “morale meetings” on the Caddiemaster dime and it seems that they all talk about how hammered the other managers were versus how they are going to make the company a better place.  I could go on and on with multiple examples.  Outside of the access to great courses and clubs, Caddiemaster is not where I would work.  Find an in house program where they actually care about you. 

Each day brings something new!  The greatest part of a career with CADDIEMASTER is the privilege of working at the some of the most beautiful golf courses in the world.  The company provides all the tools to be successful and there is truly a "family" feel to the company.  The hardest part of my day is believing I am really at one of the greatest golf courses in the world.  The opportunity to meet people from other parts of the country and world has allowed me to build and develop relationships that will last a lifetime.  Interacting daily with the caddies, golf staff and members/guests keeps me focused on creating an excellent, uplifting work environment.  I love that fact that so many people trust me to be there for them daily.  I never expected this career to be so fulfilling since I simply was looking to caddie.  Little did I know it would lead to a management position and the adventure of my life!!

If you put in the work and want to succeed Caddiemaster is for you. Yes there are long hours, but its the golf industry. 

Managing 60 caddies can seem like a difficult task, but following the processes created by upper management the task becomes second nature. Upper management wants you to succeed and are always there when you need help or have any questions needing an answer. If the job seems stressful at times you just take a ride out to the golf course and realize you would not trade these views for an office view. Caddiemaster manages at some of the most prestigious clubs in the country and even the world. I have been fortunate to be placed at courses who host PGA Tour events, to get to work inside the ropes is an experience all in itself.
So if you are willing to put in the work the opportunity to see the country even the world is at your finger tips

It may sound like a simple job but it requires a lot of stamina and a great attitude to serve your customers well.  Any new hires should understand you are expected to conduct yourself professionally and friendly on the grounds and while engaging with anyone.  Even on rainy and cold days you still have to put a smile on for people and maintain standards.  If you love golf and love meeting new people this is the job for you.  You can meet some incredible people from all walks of life.  You have to be able to work outside in the heat as well.  Schedule will fluctuate depending on reserved tee times for guest.  Spring through the Fall are the busiest seasons along with highest work volume.  You get what you put into it, the harder you work the more money you will make, guaranteed.   

Great company to work for.  There are always opportunities for advancement, if you are a mobile person.  Since the company has locations throughout the U.S., the opportunities follow that. 

The job will challenge your management skills, as the landscape is ever changing on most properties. Staff turn over tends to be lower than most customer service based jobs, partly due to the uniqueness of the properties managed. You can be assured there are no bad properties where you can work-all are top notch.

As with any management position, the challengers of dealing with a staff are constant, but the better you manage, the easier that becomes.
