Head Golf Professional - Pinegrove Country Club

An iconic institution in Canadian golf, Pinegrove Country Club is a prestigious private club renowned for its exceptional golf course, high-quality facilities, and outstanding member experience. The Club is seeking a Head Golf Professional to provide leadership for all golf-related activities. Inspired by the highest standards of Canada’s leading private clubs, Pinegrove is driven by a vision of excellence, tradition, and innovation. The Club wishes to appoint a professional who will embody these values for its members, staff, and the broader golf community, and who will serve as one of the Club’s ambassadors.

The Club

Founded in 1957 by a visionary group of members from Montreal’s Jewish community, Pinegrove Golf Club was born from a bold idea: transforming a farm in Saint-Luc into a premier private golf club. Over the decades, Pinegrove has earned a distinguished place in Canadian golf history. The Club has had the honour of hosting two Canadian Opens, in 1964 and 1969, as well as the Canadian Mid-Amateur Championship in 2006. In 2025, Pinegrove once again affirmed its national stature as the proud host of the 103rd PGA Championship of Canada, the only national PGA of Canada event held in Quebec that year. Today, Pinegrove blends tradition, sporting excellence, and a forward-looking vision, offering its members an exceptional golf experience within a high-end private club. This experience is guided by a boutique-hotel approach, where every detail matters and each member is welcomed in a personalized and memorable manner.
