Founded in 1898, The Country Club of Birmingham offers superior social and recreational services to its members and their families.
The country club is a place of comfort, friendship, and family. It's also an ongoing work of architectural and interior design excellence that blends the best of historical precedent with a quiet elegance, and refined style. Such a place doesn't just happen, but rather evolves. In the case of the club, that includes three homes over the years - the original north Birmingham driving club site, a new location in 1904 in the Lakeview area, and finally its home in Mountain Brook, where it is enjoyed today.
If you enjoy being outside, meeting new people, and working in a fast paced environment this may be a job for you.

Throughout the Day….
Meet and greet ALL members!!!
When we greet members:
Be genuine
Get out of your cart to greet members. It lets them know that you want to help
It is ok to engage in small talk with the members. Ask how they are doing or maybe build a conversation on the weather and overtime you will be able to develop a friendship with our members. Some are friendlier than others.
IF YOU DON’T KNOW SOMEONE, INTRODUCE YOURSELF!
Whenever we greet someone, make sure we follow up and get his or her clubs to the staging area in a timely manner.
SMILE; let our members and guests know that you enjoy serving them.
COMMUNICATION IS KEY!!! Make sure your team is always aware of where you are and vice versa so that we can assist one another. ALWAYS CALL FOR ASSISTANCE
BEFORE YOU POTENTIALLY GET OVERWHELMED!!
Someone should always be at the podium! Never leave podium unattended!
Always ask members if you can assist them in any way.
The practice facility from the top of the hill can be the most appealing thing members see all day
The chipping green and tee should be checked constantly
If you are assigned range for the day, continually monitor chipping green for balls. Reset baskets and fill pyramids back up as needed. Pick up tees from practicing players. Service as required.
Range Staff
There should always be someone on the picker- if there is not you will fall behind and not have enough golf balls.
The other person on the range should be washing balls, stacking pyramids and cleaning members clubs if the first two tasks are done.
If there are balls on the short game area it needs to be cleaned. Use the metal tubes to pick up balls. Place the metal tubes back on their stand when you are done.
Closing Shift Procedures
Practice Facility
Practice facility is always open except the night before the club is closed, (usually)
Sunday unless a holiday is involved. That night the practice facility hard closes an hour before sunset so that the range can be cleaned picked for mowing the next day.
Start shutting down the practice tee based on sunset time and what part of the range is unoccupied.
Pick up all remaining tees that practicing players have used and return to tee baskets (if usable) or dispose of damaged unusable tees.
Close chipping green. Make sure all golf balls are out of holes and the hill is cleared.
Chipping green balls should be washed daily.
When running the picker on normal days strive to have target greens and surroundings picked, also bunkers picked clean.
Wash ALL dirty golf balls.
At night, the bunkers need to be picked CLEAN- this means no balls in the bunkers.
You are not finished on the range at night until you have at least 30 baskets of clean golf balls in the ball room.
The range needs to be clean picked on Sunday nights, this means NO balls should be anywhere on the range- including the bunkers or along the nets.
