Head Golf Professional: Highland Pacific Golf - Victoria, BC

The Highland Pacific Golf is seeking a motivated individual to lead its golf operations. Qualified candidates should be self starters who have a proven track record of motivating the staff around them. A collaborative team-first culture is important to the success of the individual and the organization. Someone who has a proven track record of attention to detail and strong communication skills. This leader should naturally provide memorable customer service who goes above and beyond without being asked.

The Facility – Highland Pacific Golf first opened nine holes in 2008 before expanding its second 9 in 2010. HP continues to retain its model of having two separate nines to allow their guests to choose to play 9 or 18 holes. Boasting the title of Victoria’s Friendliest Public Golf Course, Highland Pacific Golf was created for golfers who want to enjoy a scenic, but challenging championship golf course that is playable all year round. Minutes from downtown Victoria, BC, Highland Pacific overlooks the majestic Olympic Mountains, the Strait of Juan de Fuca and Thetis Lake Park. The Club has quickly elevated itself as a must play when visiting Victoria and is a favourite among the locals. HP has hosted a number of provincial championships including the recent BC Juvenile Boys & Girls Championship. This par 71 course can play as long as 6603 yards but does offer 6 different tee options to meet every golfers needs.

The practice facility opened before the golf course and quickly became an ideal and centrally located location to take lessons and improve your game. There is a café conveniently located next to the hitting stall which helps create a very casual and social atmosphere. Featuring a two-tiered tee line of 44 heated stalls, long and short game practice areas, lights for evening practice, and real terrain targets, including a water hazard to avoid or… aim for. The practice range at Highland Pacific Golf was very quickly designated as one of the Top 100 Ranges in North America. The Pro Shop located next to the café and practice facility, has more than 1000 sq feet of retail space and plenty of storage.
