General Manager
Saskatoon, Saskatchewan
Club Overview
The Willows Club (the Willows or the Club), located in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan is a semi‑private golf club that currently features three different 9‑hole layouts (for a total of 27 holes), and a classic clubhouse setting. The Willows is owned by Dream, one of Canada’s largest asset managers, who are driving a significant renovation and revitalisation of the Club.
In conjunction with the continued build‑out of the community surrounding the Willows, exciting developments have been planned to continue to elevate the offering of the Willows, with a path towards a more private and amenitised operating model.
In collaboration with renowned golf course architect Doug Carrick, over the next few years the Willows golf course will be transformed into a spectacularly reimagined 18‑hole layout. The proposed redesign will feature new and modified holes throughout the existing three 9‑hole courses. The new configuration aims to focus on quality of play while celebrating and elevating the environment’s prairie aesthetic for a truly one‑of‑a‑kind golf experience. The course will continue to operate as a 27‑hole facility in 2026, with a reduction to an 18‑hole configuration as construction commences.
Concurrent with the redevelopment of the golf course, planned renovations for the clubhouse will modernise the space and facilities. The plans also include the introduction of a private amenity park with tennis and pickleball courts, a pool and splash pad, and a full‑service pool house.
Position Summary
This position is a unique opportunity to help build a new Club vision and experience, while serving as the operational leader through the transition and into the new age for the Club.
