Assistant Kitchen Manager / Sous Chef
Eaglewood Golf Course
North Salt Lake City, UT
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.
