Stewarding Manager Jobs in Iowa (NOW HIRING)

Geneva Golf & Country Club is a private club in Muscatine, Iowa. The club offers an 18-hole championship golf course (6,490 yards, par 71, slope 129), a vibrant pool facility, dining, and family and social events. Owned by KENT Worldwide since 1927, the club has a multi-year reinvestment plan including a renovated lower level and year-round golf simulators; future plans include course enhancements, a new pool experience, and clubhouse upgrades.

Geneva Golf & Country Club is seeking its next General Manager: a high-energy, relationship-driven leader who will serve as the chief steward of the member experience and the operational heart of the club.

Muscatine is a city with civic pride, business roots, and a strong appetite for a world-class private club experience. The incoming leader will have platform, ownership support, and community to make a real and enduring mark.
