Flat Rock, NC | Kenmure Country Club is more than a private club — it’s a legacy property with a very promising future, and we are looking for the right person to help lead the club in the fulfillment of that vision.
Located in the heart of the historic Hendersonville area, Kenmure Country Club is a true hidden gem. From the Joe Lee–designed championship golf course to the historical clubhouse rich with tradition, Kenmure is the centerpiece of a vibrant gated community located in Western North Carolina.
Pinnacle Golf Properties is seeking an experienced, service-driven General Manager to lead Kenmure into its next chapter — honoring its heritage while elevating every aspect of the member experience.
This is a rare opportunity for a proven club leader (or an exceptional Assistant GM ready for the next step) to make a lasting impact at a club with tremendous upside.
Pinnacle Golf Properties is a growing portfolio of premier clubs built on a simple belief: great clubs start with great leadership. Great leaders understand that creating a cohesive team and focusing on their needs will result in an environment that produces exceptional results.
Our team supports General Managers with hands-on executive partnership, operational resources, and a culture that values excellence, accountability, and genuine hospitality.
At Pinnacle, you won’t just run a club — you’ll build something meaningful. And no matter what direction you want for your future career path, our goal is to make sure that we are a successful stepping stone to help get you there!
