Associate/Assistant Professional: Mad River Golf Club
“A club in the country; not a country club”. Mad River is a friendly, member-owned, Bob Cupp-designed, championship golf club in a spectacular rural setting. We embrace values instead of rules. We offer a relaxed, unpretentious golf experience on one of Canada's top-rated courses (currently ranked #39 on Score Golf Top 100).
We treat our staff as equals and members of the Mad River family. Our relationship with our staff is respectful, mutually courteous and helpful. Staff share the Club’s values and take joint responsibility for providing an enjoyable, high-quality experience.
The club is currently completing an extensive capital improvement project, which includes a full irrigation system replacement, Better Billy Bunker renovation, strategic enhancements to three holes, and the resurfacing of all cart paths. In conjunction with these facility upgrades, the club is also undergoing an exciting rebranding initiative, with a new logo and refreshed brand launching in 2026.
