What is the difference between Country Club Chef vs Private Chef?

AspectCountry Club ChefPrivate Chef
CredentialsCulinary degree, certifications often preferredSimilar culinary training, certifications optional
Work EnvironmentCommercial kitchen in a country club settingPrivate residence or client’s home
Employer & IndustryCountry clubs, hospitality industryIndividual clients, high-net-worth households

The choice depends on whether you prefer working in a hospitality environment or offering bespoke dining experiences in private settings.

Job description

Established in 2000 and headquartered at our Club Support Center in Atlanta, Georgia, Bobby Jones Links is a club management and development company rich in resources and expertise serving private, resort, daily fee, and public courses. At the core of everything we do is our commitment to serving people. We have spent more than two decades building a vibrant company culture that delivers the lifestyle, camaraderie, and experiences that members and customers desire and the environment in which our employees will thrive.
Hope Valley Country Club, located in Durham, North Carolina, and managed by Bobby Jones Links, is hiring for a Sous Chef. Founded in 1926, Hope Valley is an elite private club featuring a classic Donald Ross designed golf course, state-of-the-art tennis facility, resort-style pool complex, and a spacious, welcoming clubhouse offering its members first-class recreation, dining, and programming. Hope Valley is ideally situated in the heart of one of Southeast's most vibrant, exciting areas.
Primary Responsibilities of the Sous Chef at Hope Valley Country Club include:

Creativity & Collaboration
  • Collaborate on seasonal menus, features, and event offerings

  • Banquet and high-volume event experience is a huge plus
  • Strong understanding of kitchen operations and food safety
