The Club:
A Harry Colt-Designed Course
Designed by renowned architect Harry Colt in 1920, Sudbury’s par-70 course combines natural beauty with a rewarding challenge for golfers of all standards. Rolling, tree-lined fairways, pulpit greens and four distinctive par-3 holes showcase Colt’s design expertise.
Outstanding Facilities
The clubhouse is continually enhanced, with a terrace offering spectacular views.
Practice facilities include two covered bays, a USGA-specification short-game area, a putting green and two nets near the clubhouse. These complement the club’s standing as a preferred venue for major county amateur championships and finals. A 2017 investment of more than £300,000 in irrigation supports the course’s long-term condition.
The Role :
The successful candidate will work closely with the General Manager, taking primary responsibility for overseeing the Club’s Bar department, whilst also playing an important role in supporting the day-to-day operations of the entire Club.

- Lead, motivate and develop the Bar team, ensuring consistently high standards of service.
