We offer a vibrant, high-energy atmosphere that blends elevated culinary experiences with a modern social scene.
The Role
We are looking for a culinary leader who understands that "golf food" has evolved. Our flagship restaurant concept focuses on modern, accessible, and high-quality cuisine that appeals to golfers, foodies, and late-night socialites alike.

Key Responsibilities
• Menu Innovation: Direct the culinary program for our signature restaurant, focusing on seasonal ingredients and trend-forward dishes. • Operational Excellence: Oversee all kitchen operations, including high-volume daily service, specialized events, and outdoor social space activations. • Team Leadership: Recruit, train, and mentor a diverse BOH team, fostering a culture of accountability and professional growth. • Financial Stewardship: Manage food costs, labor, and inventory in alignment with Troon's industry-leading financial standards. • Guest Experience: Ensure every plate reflects the brand's commitment to being a premier social destination in the Valley.
Candidate Profile
Experience: 5+ years of culinary leadership experience in a high-volume restaurant, luxury resort, or upscale lifestyle club.
Vision: A passion for modern American/Southwestern cuisine and the ability to execute a "cool," approachable menu.
Adaptability: Comfortable managing a fast-paced kitchen that transitions from casual daytime play to high-energy evening service.
