ABOUT GOLF RANCH

Golf Ranch is building golf's home base: rooted in community, powered by technology, and designed to feel friendly, for every golfer. We run six locations across four states, all built around Toptracer and Trackman bays that turn every bucket of balls into a data-rich, gamified session. No country club dress codes, no attitude, no gatekeeping, just the most welcoming experience in golf.

Customers love us and keep coming back: 13,000 Ranch Pass members and counting, and a 4.7 average rating across 5,000 Google reviews. Instruction is our top company priority, and we are growing our coaching team.

THE ROLE

As an Instruction Lead & Brand Ambassador, you help people fall in love with golf and become the face of the Golf Ranch experience. You will teach private lessons, group sessions, and multi-week clinics for students of every level, from first-time golfers to more advanced golfers sharpening their game. You will be an entrepreneur, helping set the foundations for an instruction program scaling nationwide. You will partner with our marketing team to create instruction content that builds excitement and turns our audience into your students. And you will be a cornerstone in the Golf Ranch community, building strong relationships with customers on and off-site.

WHAT MAKES THIS ROLE DIFFERENT

At Golf Ranch, you build your own coaching business inside a company that already has the customers, the tools, and the audience:

• Room to grow and be entrepreneurial. Build a real coaching practice with the stability of a salary and the upside of a revenue split, inside a company scaling nationwide.
• A built-in customer base. Hundreds of thousands of golfers visit our sites every year, all potential students. You are not starting cold or hunting for your first client.
• A marketing engine behind you. Our in-house media and creative team produces and edits all marketing content to create excitement, and our channels reach real audiences through email, SMS, golfranch.com, and viral social. Our audience becomes your audience.
• The best facilities and tools in the game. Toptracer and Trackman shot tracking, weatherproof shaded bays, and club rental, all so you can deliver the best possible lesson.
• Booking and logistics handled for you. Online lesson booking makes you easy to find and easy to book, with scheduling, payments, and admin taken care of.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

• Teach engaging, high-quality lessons across formats: private one-on-ones, group sessions, and multi-week clinics.
• Keep a consistent, reliable schedule, integrated with Golf Ranch’s master lesson calendar, and be fully present and prepared for every lesson.
• Help stand up and grow new lesson formats such as women's clinics, junior programs, and social and coed formats as we expand.
• Use shot-tracking technology (Toptracer / Trackman) to assess students, personalize instruction, and show measurable progress.
• Deliver a welcoming, on-brand experience that turns first-time students into regulars.
• Partner with your site's GM and team to keep the instruction program running smoothly.
• Collaborate with the marketing team to generate instruction content (videos, photography) for the website, social media, and on-site to create awareness of instruction offerings with customers.
• Communicate on time and in a professional manner with first-time and returning customers interested in taking lessons at Golf Ranch.
