About The Back Nine

Powered by elite, tour-level Full Swing simulator technology, we provide our exclusive member community with an uncompromised, high-tech training and entertainment space. We are looking for a forward-thinking, energetic Golf Professional to join our launch team, anchor our player development programs, and build a thriving indoor academy.
The Opportunity: Escape the 60-Hour Grind
Are you a country club assistant tired of folding shirts, washing golf carts, and working 70-hour summer weeks for low pay? Or a former competitive collegiate player looking to build an elite instruction business inside a state-of-the-art facility?
We are offering a stable, highly competitive year-round base salary for just 30 scheduled operational hours a week. Outside of those hours, you have full access to our flagship technology to teach your private clients, retaining a significant portion of lesson revenue.
Key Responsibilities
1. Operational Leadership (30 Hours/Week)

2. Instruction & Player Performance (Flexible / Self-Scheduled Hours)
- Build and manage your own private lesson book utilizing our precision launch-monitor data.
- Deliver highly engaging instruction to diverse client profiles—from scratch players adjusting their club specifications to high school juniors and absolute beginners.
- Provide expert assistance on data tracking, video swing analysis, and virtual course strategy inside the simulator bays.
Qualifications & Archetype Match
- Experience: 1–3 years of golf operations, assistant professional, or competitive playing experience (PGA Associate, Level 1–3, or former D1/D2 collegiate golfer strongly preferred).
- Tech-Savy: Deep comfort with or eager willingness to master modern launch monitor metrics (ball speed, launch angle, spin axis, club path).
- Leadership Style: Outgoing, articulate, and professional. You take pride in being a brand ambassador and excel at making members feel like country club VIPs.
