Job description

The Starter / Player Assistant plays a critical role in organizing groups on the first tee, maintaining the tee schedule and keeping records of cart numbers, turn and finish times. The Starter / Player Assistant is also critical in getting our message to the players in terms of golf cart traffic, pace of play expectations and care of the course. 


They will provide a critical customer service role, communicating with players on the course. In addition to optimizing our pace of play, the Starter / Player Assistant will communicate vital information about golf cart traffic regulations, course rules and etiquette.

They will also serve a critical role in summoning help when emergency assistance is needed.


Responsibilities Include:

  • Provide a friendly greeting to all players you encounter on the course. Promote and offer outstanding customer service. Greet and deliver a consistent message to each group and give them the opportunity to voice any concerns

  • Track pace of play/starting sheets and turn in the sheet at the end of the day to the golf shop
  • Utilize the GPS system to assist your efforts as a player assistant
