About Eaglewood
Eaglewood Golf Course is not your typical golf course kitchen. We are a from‑scratch culinary program actively redefining what golf course food looks like in Utah. Our food and beverage operation has been recognized by Club & Resort Chef Magazine for pushing beyond the expected, blending elevated technique with approachability, and treating golf course dining with the same respect as any top‑tier restaurant or resort property.
We execute high‑volume daily service along with tournaments, weddings, banquets, and special events-without relying on shortcuts, canned products, or uninspired menus. If you believe golf course food can be bold, thoughtful, and well‑executed, you'll fit in here.
Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Assistant Kitchen Manager / Sous Chef to support daily kitchen operations and help lead our culinary team. This role is ideal for a chef who is hands‑on, calm under pressure, and confident making real‑time decisions in a fast‑paced environment.
You will work closely with the Executive Chef and Kitchen Manager to oversee service, manage staff, maintain standards, and ensure consistent execution across grill service, tournaments, and catered events. This position is equal parts leadership, logistics, and cooking.

- Comfortable balancing leadership, execution, and problem‑solving
- Ability to stay composed and effective during high‑pressure service and large events
- Detail‑oriented, organized, and standards‑driven
- Passion for scratch cooking and elevating non‑traditional dining environments
- Golf course, resort, banquet, or high‑volume restaurant experience is a plus-but not required
